    Mommy TeleRN replied to care2share's topic in Nursing Career

    I got into my hospital's quality department doing chart abstraction and eventually started working from home. Love it! Find out who your PI/quality manager is and put out

  2. AHRQ Need help understanding

    Mommy TeleRN posted a topic in Quality Improvement

    New to quality. Im having a hard time understanding all the different quality measures and how things get reporting to the governing bodies. For instance...AHRQ IQI 11 - Aneurysm deaths. It states...

  3. Nasty email from CNS

    Mommy TeleRN replied to Cg-RN's topic in General Nursing

    As a new CM abstractor I can tell you we have to report that to all kinds of people lol. Is it possible the MD charted earlier in the stay why no ace/arb? It doesn't HAVE to be written at discharge if...

  4. Covenant, UT Med Center or East Tenn Children's?

    Mommy TeleRN replied to baschaff's topic in Tennessee Nursing

    I would go with Children's..I've heard good things. I believe UT now does all their peds through Childrens if I recall correctly. Perhaps you could contact a nurse recruiter for more of the details re...

  5. What kind of Nurse does administrative work?

    Mommy TeleRN replied to Delag5's topic in Nursing Career

    Oh and to answer your actual question: My job will be in performance improvement (doing data management for instance core measures compliance, but that is just part of it) Other things: informatics...

  6. What kind of Nurse does administrative work?

    Mommy TeleRN replied to Delag5's topic in Nursing Career

    Totally agree with HouTX. NETWORK! Join committees, get to know people in other departments. Perhaps a procedural area would be a good next step for you? Not office, but something different anyway. I...

  7. Emetophobia!!!!!

    Mommy TeleRN replied to Francesca_H's topic in Nursing Career

    As far as specialization, depends on the hiring practices of your local hospitals. When I graduated, everyone pretty much was on a level playing field. When you got hired after passing NCLEX, you...

  8. Please tell me about your role as nurse auditor

    Mommy TeleRN replied to Genista's topic in Quality Improvement

    Do you know exactly what you'd be auditing in the charts? I just got a position away from bedside and will start in a couple weeks. My position will be pulling data from charts for core measures and...

  9. Is there a slower paced floor to work at in the hospital?

    Mommy TeleRN replied to *Butterfly8*'s topic in Medical-Surgical

    I think some of it depends on the hospital and how they staff various units. I float and there are some floors that tend to be better staffed and have a 5:1 ratio instead of 6:1 and they are a little...

  10. Vent!!! So frustrated.

    Mommy TeleRN replied to greenbeanlpn's topic in Nursing Career

    I would try to focus on your patients. I think it would look bad to go to your 3rd job in less than one year. It doesn't sound likes it's an unsafe working environment, just not your "fit". Keep doing...

    Mommy TeleRN replied to OTconsideringBSN's topic in Nursing Career

  12. What lab data and procedures would you order for a laminectomy?

    Mommy TeleRN replied to onlyj's topic in General Nursing

    Those back surgery patients usually have a ton of pain! I've only ever seen one that wasn't in bad pain. She was the exception! Often you will have to help them turn because they won't do it...

  13. HELP!! this might as well had been a MED ERROR!!!

    Mommy TeleRN replied to yikib38's topic in General Nursing

    I would just leave it as is for the ones already sent out. Chances are they may not even notice it. If you send corrections you are bringing it to their

    Mommy TeleRN replied to babybeez's topic in Tennessee Nursing

  25. Need info on Sevierville area.....

    Mommy TeleRN replied to babybeez's topic in Tennessee Nursing

    Most of these surrounding rural areas are really safe areas. Blount County (maryville) and Seymour are both nice areas. Both have subdivision type living as well as many rural
