1. API and Kronos Interface

   RNJeff73 replied to ertoicumanager's topic in General Nursing

   That's HILARIOUS!!!!! I have been told that API/Concerro doesn't have a interface to Kronos or any other T&A system. A friend of mine that works for Kronos says they have never built any interfaces to their system and that API bought concerro f...

2. Electronic scheduling - Need some advice (Kronos/Cerner)

   RNJeff73 replied to RNJeff73's topic in General Nursing

   Thanks Gabby, it would have to be a different version than what I used. Ours was not user friendly. It was odd that Kronos being the T&A system it was hard to get accurate information on an employee's productivity etc.. I have met several Kronos ...

   RNJeff73 replied to RNJeff73's topic in General Nursing

   Really?!? Wow, I am impressed. I don't like Cerner. Maybe I had an old version but I have never heard of anyone saying that Clarvia was "user friendly". Ok, I'll put them on the list. I was given permission to compile a list of companies and th...

6. Do you ever get sick?

   RNJeff73 replied to akey77's topic in General Nursing

   I am insane about washing my hands....not quite compulsive but then again that's what a compulsive person would say. I don't usually get sick, usually 3 big ones per year, is that a lot?

   RNJeff73 replied to RNJeff73's topic in General Nursing

   I know that IT has to have their mitts on everything, I used to work in the IT field when I was younger but being in my current position I realize that IT should not make decisions solely without the involvement of the clinical side. Really, what do...

10. Electronic scheduling - Need some advice (Kronos/Cerner)

    RNJeff73 replied to RNJeff73's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know if there is anything I can do about the process. IT must be in the pocket of someone at Kronos, I hear all the time of facilities uninstalling the scheduling system. Does anyone have any ideas on how I can short circuit this decision? ...

    RNJeff73 replied to sistrmoon's topic in General Nursing

    We had two birds that got in once and it took days to get them out. Maybe we can get NicuGal's bats and my birds to eat your mice!

13. Why did you become nurses?

    RNJeff73 replied to rupertmichaes's topic in General Nursing

    I remember seeing a friend saved by a paramedic when I was young. The firemen pulled my next door neighbor out of their house and the paramedic worked on him to revive him. I still remember the moment my friend started breathing again. I knew then...
