  1. Anyone here do coding?

    I am interested in coding certification, RHIT, RHIA, CPC, any of them. What is the best way to get these and are there any programs that are less than $3,000.00?
  2. Part time plus per diem?

    No, I work in a University Medical Center that can't seem to hire enough help. I could even work more than I already do, if all I wanted to do is Work, instead of work to Live😂 The early winter is slow time for 1 of my jobs, so I take a Feb - May ...

  5. Part time plus per diem?

    I actually have 3 PRN jobs. If you don't need insurance it's the best way to be able to schedule yourself as much or as little as you want or need to work. Biggest Plus is you don't have to ask for time off. I have found that you take a PRN or part t...
  6. Job Searches

    I mainly go to all the recruiting web sites like Indeed.com or Careers.com.
  7. Glad you were, but all that garb did not make you more professional or more skilled. I just personally did not agree with the need for wearing a dress, hose & cap to do my job.
  8. The purpose being what? A cap that won't stay on my head, a skirt that shows my ass if I have to get down on the floor to measure chest drainage or empty a foley bag, or perform CPR. Get real! I do not need a costume to be a kind, compassionate, and ...
  9. Yes I knew, it took me over a year on the floor before I could transfer into my speciality, which was surgery. I got to surgery & went as far as a CRNFA (certified Registered Nurse Cardiac First Assistant), stayed in this career for over 20 years...
  10. I survived the Board of Nursing

    Good Lord! Who went after you? Really, are you surprised that the board did not execute their job, by doing their own investigation? I have found in life, whoever gets to tell their story 1st, just has to be the one telling the truth....NOT:no:
  11. Personally I have found using my struggles with weight loss a good tool, that I can use to help my patients. They seem to appreciate the honesty of talking about the struggle of how to lose the weight. We don't need to tell them they are overweight, ...
  12. Finally got malpractice insurance.

    I have always been told that if I bought my own malpractice insurance it would be used against me, as in, they would go after me personally because of the insurance. I have always felt very comfortable in my 30 years + of nursing being covered by the...
  13. 1st of all I would probably laugh it off & say I don't participate or if you already indicated you do, just say I make a rule that I can't give personal information out to a patient. I would never give out that type of information about myself.
  14. Evil Nurses

    LOL:nurse:! I had this experience years ago when I was learning a new role in surgery. I took that person aside & had a firm conversation with her. Letting her know that all of her negative announcements are being told to me or I can overhear her...
  15. Gosh do you think that will ever happen. We are not medical staff anymore we are a hospitality group now.
  16. We don't have protocol pain orders for anything. I think protocol orders have made a lot of pt's addicts, and seeking pts. Yes kidney stones are horrible & on the level with chest pain, but automatic pain med orders are never a good ideal.
  17. I work @ a teaching hospital, we all are run crazy, we all make mistakes, we all learn from our own & your mistake too. I am so sorry this has happened to you & your pt. Be a professional, meet with everyone, if they do not give you a 2nd ch...
  18. ER dropping the ball?

    Finally, a smart nurse, who actually assesses his/her pt by physically assessing the pt & looking up his pt's H&P, VS, & lab results. Why should I sit there & read what you can read off the computer just as well. Like it says here, a...
  19. ER dropping the ball?

    Yes you are so right. I wish more nurses on the floor understood this. I for one have taken on pt's that have been in our waiting area for hours without VS. You take them & go from there.
  20. ER dropping the ball?

    I totally agree, in the ER, you don't have to start another line if the pt has a working line. You are expecting to much from the ED. We don't have time to give you a long & involved report, we may have had that pt for a brief time no matter how ...
  21. I also think it should be manatory for managers to perform the duties of the staff they manage for a full week, no excuses, every 6 months. A lot of support staff where I work tend to hide, you have to hunt them down, to get them to do 1 small thing...
  22. How to learn Hedis in order to apply for jobs

    I totally am really interested in the field. I, too, have a lot of varied nursing experience & would love to use my experience & knowledge to learn another field of nursing.
