QTBabyNurse BSN, RN

Sorry that happened to you! Best of luck in the future...keep us posted!

Just curious.....What did you decide to do?

Sadly, no good deed ever goes unpunished!

I hear what you have been saying and Q-Centrix has positioned itself to evolve with the changes that are coming down the pike. I'm not concerned one bit that my job will be phased out. I'm in quite a bit of a different situation than a lone quality c...

I can understand your fear because you work for ONE facility. In my position, I am an extension of the quality department for MANY hospitals that have found it more cost effective to outsource their data abstraction. That is why Q-Centrix is experien...

I work for Q-Centrix and trust me when I say this is not going away. We have a remarkably busy company that is only growing day by day!

While this may be somewhat true for Core Measure data abstraction, it is far from true for other types of data abstraction such as Get with the Guidelines and other registries. Hospitals are utilizing these more and more and the information is not pu...

Data abstractors review patients' medical records to locate specific bits of documentationon order to answer questions in a vendor tool that are related to core measures (AMI, VTE, Stroke, Perinatal,etc). Some hospitals also review medical records f...

I work for a company called Q-Centrix and do Core Measures abstraction as well as some Registry abstraction. You can apply on their website.

Good luck with your presentation!

I did Nova Southeastern's RN-BSN online program and really liked it. I had graduated with an ADN from a community college and if I would've done an RN-BSN through one of the state universities, I would've had to take a bunch of pre-reqs first. With N...

I did Nova Southeastern's online RN-BSN and really liked the program a lot! Took me about a year to complete and they accepted my ADN as most of the prereqs so I only needed to take Sociology and that was all.

First of all, I really liked working for Lee Memorial Health Systems. I worked for them over a couple years and the pay and the benefits were very good I thought. The nursing staff was very friendly to each other also. I've also done some PRN work f...

Don't get involved in the soap opera of gossipy co-workers. Stay clear of that drama...it will do you nothing but harm.

The quote above is very true. I've seen it time and time again with new nurses that I have trained in OB. The fact that you recognize what you don't know is a great first step. The dangerous nurses are the ones who think right out of the gate that th...

I answered this to another similar question on this topic. Hopefully this will be helpful to you... I worked in Obstetrics for more than a dozen years and then slowly moved to Quality. I'll be honest, it was an emotionally difficult change and contin...

I've worked at a few different hospitals. An hour each way was the longest commute I've had and it was a bit much for me, although I did it for a couple of years. It was all interstate driving and it was a factor in my leaving those jobs. The job I ...

I worked in Obstetrics for more than a dozen years and then slowly moved to Quality. I'll be honest, it was an emotionally difficult change and continues to be, although I enjoy what I do now. The difficulty for me was not feeling like I "made a dif...

If you have experience doing clinical data abstraction for Core Measures or Registry, look into Q-Centrix. They are legit and a nice company to work for.

I have been working for them for over a year. I love my job! Working from home has its challenges but you really can't beat this gig!!

I have heard this site is helpful. It is for the National Guidelines Clearinghouse. Hope it helps...you sound like you have quite the task ahead of you! Good luck in your new position! http://www.guideline.gov/browse/by-topic.aspx

Nurse2b7337...I am sorry that I am just now seeing your post from back in 2012 where you asked me if I knew in clinical if L&D was for me. Well to answer that question...I knew BEFORE I ever decided to go to nursing school that I wanted to work w...

StephHarri... You can either go for an associates degree or a bachelors degree to become an RN. If you are wanting to become a neonatal nurse, do not become an LPN...you will need to be an RN for that area. Your best move would be to speak with a col...

Yes...that looks about right for a case manager. You are not doing every single one of those things for every single patient on the floor but you should know how to do them if needed. Case management is a difficult position..some people think it is a...
