  1. ACN or clinical managers 12 hr shifts

    jrt4 replied to NurseMal09's topic in Nurse Management

    On a serious note I did work for an organization that allowed the Managers and Assistant Manager to do 4 10 hour shifts a week. One of you had to be there M-F and if you were off a day and something...

  2. ACN or clinical managers 12 hr shifts

    jrt4 replied to NurseMal09's topic in Nurse Management

    I used to work for HCA. They will say "sure, 12 hours M-F"...ok. Can you do weekends and holidays as well? By the way here are 3 more departments you can manage. haha kind of

  3. End of Year Reviews...finally done!

    jrt4 replied to txredapple79's topic in Nurse Management

    We just started doing triannual coaching rather than monthly rounding and annual evaluations. Goal focused. More meaningful in my

  4. Primary care in urgent care

    jrt4 replied to travelRN555's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    We have recently changed our policy on this. We now triage patients before they are registered. If they classify as a level 2 or sometimes 3 we bring them immediately back. Also, if they present...

  5. transitioning from acute setting to ambulatory

    jrt4 replied to thomas76's topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    I transitioned from inpatient management to outpatient management about 6 months ago. I had never worked outpatient a day in my career but it was a good opportunity. I think the most important thing...

  6. Wound Care Nurse Practitioner

    jrt4 posted a topic in Wound, Ostomy, Continence

    Hey all - I manage a small wound care center. Currently our staffing is all physician based and are looking at supplementing with a nurse practitioner or PA. Does anyone currently practice as an NP...

  7. Wound Care Nurse Practitioner

    jrt4 replied to jrt4's topic in Wound, Ostomy, Continence

    Just for follow up. I checked with my state board. There are no specific rules in my state that differentiate between what an NP does vs. a physician. As long as they are trained and competent they...

  8. MSN in Nursing and Healthcare Leadership jobs

    jrt4 replied to Linzie0406's topic in Nurse Management

    that is a good point. It really does depend on the region. When I was working at an academic medical center many director level had DNP or were working on it...mainly because it was free to...

    jrt4 posted a topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    I am fairly new to the urgent care world. Do you currently work urgent care? If so, what certifications do you require? (example ACLS, NIH stroke,

  10. Urgent Care Qualifications

    jrt4 replied to jrt4's topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    thank you for your feedback. We typically only staff with LPN and QMA which limits some of our ability to do more advanced procedures in the clinic. I have been in urgent care for a short time, most...

  11. MSN in Nursing and Healthcare Leadership jobs

    jrt4 replied to Linzie0406's topic in Nurse Management

    I think it depends what you are wanting to do in your career. I would like my options to be open outside of nursing if I ever choose to go that route. An MSN can be a business degree but the entire...

  12. MSN in Nursing and Healthcare Leadership jobs

    jrt4 replied to Linzie0406's topic in Nurse Management

    I graduated with an MSN about 4 years after my BSN. It has opened a lot of doors for me professionally that I don't believe I would have been able to pursue if I hadn't completed the MSN. At least...

  13. Young Nurse Considering Management

    jrt4 replied to cpfjme014's topic in Nurse Management

    Congratulations on advancing your career! I got into management after being a bedside nurse for about a year. My first role was an assistant nurse manager and I had the privilege of working alongside...

  14. What do nurse managers and clinical directors actually do?

    jrt4 replied to poopylala's topic in Nurse Management

    You are quick to judge those of us who do work very hard and are stressed. Do I work the floor? not usually. No I do not like working the floor. When I do it prevents me from getting my other work...

  15. how do you handle verbal fights between employees

    jrt4 replied to nursingon's topic in Nurse Management

    Is it personal or work

  16. Which school/degree should I choose?

    jrt4 replied to raindrop's topic in Nurse Management

    So if you are looking to become a manager I would encourage a MSN rather than just an MBA. An MSN/MBA is a good option though if you are considering moving up the ladder. MBA is quite common in...

  17. Nurse Mgr opportunity

    jrt4 replied to Road2CNO's topic in Nurse Management

    It sounds like a great opportunity but I would also be concerned with the amount of hours you will need to put in given that it is essentially a new company that is coming in and changing the culture...

    jrt4 replied to poopylala's topic in Nurse Management

    I don't know the average but based on my past experience its usually around 50 people 30FTE you would have an assistant nurse manager. I have 1 assistant nurse manager that I always seem to have to...

    jrt4 replied to AnnoyedNurse's topic in Nurse Management

    I was talking about my original post... we have since cleared this up in a later post... "Nurse God" I like that...mods can I have my title

  20. What do nurse managers and clinical directors actually do?

    jrt4 replied to poopylala's topic in Nurse Management

    I agree. So many places operate so differently. It sounds like you are in what was called an assistant manager at my current job or an assistant unit director or a team leader or a supervisor... every...

  21. Is this a smart tactic in huddle...

    jrt4 replied to AnnoyedNurse's topic in Nurse Management

    I think you are confused about the context of my post in relation to the OP. I don't think an anonymous forum is a good place to discuss if what a manager did was right or wrong when the object of the...

  22. What do nurse managers and clinical directors actually do?

    jrt4 replied to poopylala's topic in Nurse Management

    Man... where do you work? It sounds like I need to get a job there as a manager. My 50+ hour work weeks busting my butt certainly do not compare to your experience at any of the hospitals I have...

  23. What do nurse managers and clinical directors actually do?

    jrt4 replied to poopylala's topic in Nurse Management

    It really depends on the organization and span of control. I have worked at a few different hospitals in my career and they have all been different. I would love to be more involved in my units but I...

  24. Pediatric Nurse vs Occupational Therapist?

    jrt4 replied to EliApril's topic in Pediatric

    NPs usually practice more like physicians in regards to job role. However, NPs are used in a variety of ways. I have seen them more in a care coordination role instead of primary care role. They...

  25. Pediatric Nurse vs Occupational Therapist?

    jrt4 replied to EliApril's topic in Pediatric

    OT and nursing are completely different but I agree with the above poster...I am not sure how they would have more flexibility. It seems like you have a lot of enthusiasm but as someone who has...
