  1. Data Abstractor position?

    jessimee posted a topic in Quality Improvement

    Hi! Can someone tell me what a "Data Abstractor" position is? I love paperwork and details, and am happy sitting in front of a computer all day. I would love a position that would allow me to...

  2. Ortho brain sheet?

    jessimee posted a topic in Orthopedic

    Is anyone willing to share their ortho/joint/spine brain sheet?

  3. Is this legal?

    jessimee posted a topic in General Nursing

    I'm just curious about the legality of something. There is a newly minted FNP in my neighborhood who frequents the neighborhood Facebook page giving medical advice. There was a discussion going on...

  4. Is this legal?

    jessimee replied to jessimee's topic in General Nursing

    Yep, after thinking it over you are spot on. I think her "My advanced degree vs your google research" comment sort of embarrassed me for her (we may think that, but to say it directly to a large...

  5. Is this legal?

    jessimee replied to jessimee's topic in General Nursing

    FolksBtrippin, I was asking. I wasn't sure if there were legalities involved in making an assumption of an established provider-client relationship. There is some assumption of liability when giving...

    jessimee replied to jessimee's topic in General Nursing

    That's just one example. She does get more detailed with her

  7. Internal transfer--can your hourly pay change?

    jessimee posted a topic in General Nursing

    For example, you are a certified med-surg RN (your facility pays you extra for being certified) with "x" years of experience and you transfer to the case management department as an RN. You are not...

  8. Break Relief RN

    jessimee replied to nwnikki's topic in Medical-Surgical

    I work as the "resource nurse" on a med-surg unit. We typically have more surgical patients than medicals, so we have lots of admissions/discharges. I work 7-3, weekdays and my role includes helping...

  9. Hospitals in Denver

    jessimee replied to bbmeg02's topic in General Nursing

    Of the three, I would recommend St. Anthony first. It is run by Centura, which is non-profit, and has a reputation for treating its nurses well. I work at another Centura facility and I find that to...

  10. Don't do the physicians work!

    jessimee replied to ModernRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    We have a few physicians who refuse to learn Epic. I had one recently who couldn't figure out how to put a patient on the particular insulin regimen that he wanted. He ordered "something similar",...

  11. Tell me why you regret about becoming a Nurse

    jessimee replied to Want2BeeRN's topic in General Nursing

    If I could do it all over again, I would choose to be a musician (stringed instruments). But, that being said, I am happy being a nurse. I have never held a nursing job or worked in a specialty that...

  12. Help with a slogan??

    jessimee replied to jessimee's topic in General Nursing

    Im hoping to come up with something that represents who we are as a

  13. Help with a slogan??

    jessimee posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hi All--I work at a small-ish hospital and some of the units have hoodies that they are allowed to wear at work (our uniform policies are otherwise pretty strict) with slogans/logos on them that...

  14. Med Surg v.s. Pediatrics Nurse! Help!

    jessimee replied to Gr4ceffa's topic in Pediatric

    As a new grad, I worked as a pediatric med-surg nurse. I loved it but it was challenging as a new grad. We cared for all pediatric surgical patients in the hospital--everything from appendectomies...

  15. Should mean people be allowed to be mean at work?

    jessimee posted a topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    So, I work on a fabulous unit, with mostly very nice people who respect each other and work well together. But, there is one nurse who is just plain mean. She says nasty things and complains about...

  16. Should mean people be allowed to be mean at work?

    jessimee replied to jessimee's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Thank you all for your thoughtful responses--I appreciate them all! My plan to deal with this is as follows--I will continue to not engage with her, acknowledge her frustration and move on. I will...

  17. Should mean people be allowed to be mean at work?

    jessimee replied to jessimee's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Thank you. With this particular individual, it is mostly behind people's backs. And it's constant. And yes, it's shoes and hair comments, but it's also complaints about their work habits, what...

  18. Should mean people be allowed to be mean at work?

    jessimee replied to jessimee's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    To the poster who said it sounds like I've been talking about her quite a bit--I actually haven't been talking about her quite a bit. I just try to avoid her and when she does approach me and tries...

  19. Should mean people be allowed to be mean at work?

    jessimee replied to jessimee's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I don't think that's possible. I just think that the, "She's allowed to be disrespectful to co-workers, because that's just how she is" is not right. She has made one of our CNAs cry, and made other...

  20. How flexible is home health?

    jessimee posted a topic in Home Health

    I am currently working on a med/surg unit 1/2 time and am fortunate enough to work 7-3's, set schedule (it's a job share) so I can be home after school. Next year all 4 of my littles will finally be...

  21. Insulin for type 2?

    jessimee posted a topic in Diabetes, Endocrine Nursing

    Hi all, I am having trouble grasping something. I work on a med/surg floor where many of our surgical patients are type 2 diabetics. During and after surgery, they are taken off of their oral...

  22. Admit/Discharge RN?

    jessimee replied to jessimee's topic in General Nursing

    Yes! This is how acute care nursing should

  23. Admit/Discharge RN?

    jessimee posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hi All! I'm considering a position as an admit/discharge RN on an oncology unit. I have hem/onc experience, but we never had a nurse who did all admits/DC's. Any one do this or have RNs in this role...

  24. Admit/Discharge RN?

    jessimee replied to jessimee's topic in General Nursing

    So just an update on this topic--I took a job in a med-surg unit as a "Resource RN". And I love my job! I work 7-3, and fill the morning lull before the admits/discharges start, by passing am meds...

  25. Etiquette for requesting a transfer

    jessimee posted a topic in General Nursing

    So I'm eligible for transfer within my hospital system after 6 months at my current position, which will be in July. I really want to transfer to a different facility closer to my kids' school, but...
