  1. Diversity in Nursing Leadership

    jrt4 replied to chappco's topic in Nurse Management

    I can't say that I have observed the same phenomenon in my experiences. I am currently working in a large inner city and the leadership team is very diverse. What I am finding is that I cannot find...

  2. HCAHPS- Nurse communication

    jrt4 replied to Floridarn07's topic in Nurse Management

    It sounds like you are doing a lot of great things already. Have you taken the opportunity to evaluate your current processes to make sure that it is actually happening consistently. I find with my...

  3. How important is appearance?

    jrt4 replied to FieryPsychRN's topic in Nurse Management

    You can judge on any criteria you want as long as you are not discriminating against any one who is a "protected status" such as race, religion, disability, etc. I always ask myself..."Do I want this...

  4. Disciplinary Question

    jrt4 replied to cristoloro's topic in Nurse Management

    As a manager who operates in a "just culture" facility, he needs more than just a verbal counseling. Generally I would agree that people are human and make mistakes...however... Just culture means...

  5. Walden Leadership MSN program

    jrt4 replied to Ruger8mm's topic in Nurse Management

    Dont forget to check out state universities. Many of them are offering MSN programs online and are cheaper than online

  6. Why do nurse managers refuse to hire admission/discharge nurses?

    jrt4 replied to Grasshopper11's topic in Nurse Management

    Typically adding more people is not going to fix the root of the problem. This also just adds one more handoff in patient care which is one of the greatest risk for an error to occur. A reasonable...

  7. CNO vs. Dept. Manager

    jrt4 replied to mommy2boysaz's topic in Nurse Management

    It sounds like you are working at a small healthcare system since the manager reports directly to the CNO. The CNO position is meant to be an executive leader position to direct quality and...

  9. Management perspective on applying for jobs in person?

    jrt4 replied to babydeern's topic in Nurse Management

    I would say its not a bad thing and actually shows initiative. I would caution you from approaching the hiring manager directly. It is always best to go through Human Resources. I really hate it...

  10. How to get started

    jrt4 replied to special1rn's topic in Nurse Management

    It would probably be helpful to know a little more about what you are currently doing as a supervisor. I kind of did the opposite. I was an assistant nurse manager at a small hospital and then became...

  11. staffing question

    jrt4 replied to theliman's topic in Nurse Management

    Speaking as a director of a smaller unit (under 30 beds)... I also want to make the point that the couple hour here and there can save hundreds of thousands of dollars over the long term when you are...

  12. New to current facility, being asked to be team lead...

    jrt4 replied to jenrninmi's topic in Nurse Management

    I agree with the first part to ask why they are asking you to take on this role and not someone else...maybe they believe you have the right skill set...being a manager often has very little to do...

  13. Charge Nurse Pay

    jrt4 replied to JeffTheRN's topic in Nurse Management

    I should clarify...Of course there are some who do not have the skill set to be the leader of the unit. However, the moan and groan of "I just don't want to be in charge" is not really an acceptable...

  14. Charge Nurse Pay

    jrt4 replied to JeffTheRN's topic in Nurse Management

    We currently offer 2.50/hour Speaking as a nursing manager... this is part of being a senior nurse and a professional nurse regardless of what the compensation happens to

  15. Post Master Certificate FNP...how did you do it?

    jrt4 posted a topic in Nurse Management

    Is there anyone out there that has completed their MSN in management and went back to school to get post master's as an FNP? This is my plan. I have been in management for most of my nursing career....

  16. Fishing for a baby vein?

    jrt4 replied to sassynerd's topic in PICU, Pediatric

    I agree with most of what has been said above. There is a skill and and art to getting IVs on a baby. On one hand their veins are more elastic but they are smaller. Sometimes it does take a little...

  17. ICD-10

    jrt4 replied to Nurseilusgirl's topic in Nurse Management

    We are not planning any classes or preparation for the nursing staff. I know administration is working with the medical team to ensure their notes include everything that is needed. We use EPIC and...

  18. So much for DNP being clinical doctorate

    jrt4 replied to CraigB-RN's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I think many of you are missing the point of what the DNP is trying to

  19. Pediatric Interview!

    jrt4 replied to NYNewGradNurse's topic in Pediatric

    As a hiring manager, I would not anticipate that you will be asked in depth clinical skill questions. In fact, I have all but worked those questions out of my interviews. I know you don't have...

  20. Pediatric Midline IVs?

    jrt4 replied to Vicki_RN's topic in Pediatric

    We do not use them. They are really not indicated in many patients. See the INS

  21. Certification: CPON vs BMTCN?

    jrt4 replied to LaRoseRN's topic in Pediatric

    I think this is a personal decision. I would recommend doing the CPON. The reason being that if you do decide to look for another position...many organizations have pediatric hem/onc but there are...

  22. Can not even express how greatful I would be for some input. My livelyhood depends on it.

    jrt4 replied to RN94's topic in Nurse Management

    As a hiring manager, I am not going to lie to you...it might be tough to get what you are wanting. 20 years of experience holds a lot of weight but I do not know your educational background or what...

  23. Interview with a Nurse Manager, charge nurse, nursing supervisor, CNO, or Assistan

    jrt4 replied to derianne's topic in Nurse Management

    There are leaders who are willing to help. Sometimes they are not always easy to find because managers typically work M-F and are very busy. I have found when students are wanting to ask me...

  24. Office Manager -- worthwhile to get experience or no?

    jrt4 replied to Murse901's topic in Nurse Management

    It sounds like a good opportunity but I would use caution. If you are really looking for a management opportunity in the inpatient setting down the road many postings ask for at least 3-5 years...

  25. Dr threatening

    jrt4 replied to mfarmer88's topic in Nurse Management

    You have every right as a manager to wait to return a colleague's call/text if it is not a matter of patient/staff safety. Just because you are available 24/7, doesn't mean you are working 24/7. It...
