Kathleen, I wanted to talk to you before the long weekend and I just realized you were at a meeting. I feel like my concerns may have not been heard or misinterpreted today. I realize we are all on a level playing field with the start of Epic and it is a huge learning curve for everyone. But I have some concerns about the “unknown” and multiple new responsibilities the nurses will have as of June 13th. First, I did email Baptist Health Louisville about tips and suggestions for the inpatient documentation. I still have not heard back from Rhonda, so I am concerned about finding the consults and the exact documentation for inpatient. So, I will try to reach out to Rhonda again next week. Maybe I do need to go and observe them in Louisville if possible. …show more content…
I have only had patients sign the consent and whatever paper work is printed out. So, I do not fully understand the registration process and insurance. I am a hands-on leaner and the training we received does not make feel component or validated to register patients. So I am going to try to schedule time with registration in the next week to hopefully feel more confident. I do have one suggestion we may need 2 people at the front desk the 1st week of go live to help. Sometimes 2 heads together is better than one. Finally, you sent out an email on May 19 titled “NEW cover sheet for pt charts, starting June 13, chart processing”, I have questions about the diabetes patients and RN responsibilities. I repled to the email and requested clarification. I hope this is something that can be discussed at the RN meeting next week. Ultimately, I know not everything has been figured out with the new process. But, one of my multiple roles as a RN is to be a patient advocate and I just want to do the right thing for our patients/consumers. I look forward to talking to you next week. Have a great long

Feed Back: I had the opportunity to meet and greet, and provide a formal introduction of myself and StaRN NSP and Medical Surgical, and Medical Telemetry program initiative. Each nursing director were very appreciative of the visit, and requesting another meeting with me on sharing ideas that will make help minimize staffing turnover of new graduate RN, and improve nursing retention. Each nursing directors provided positive feedback on StaRN program mission, and values that we instill in the learners, and how it influences the learners’ work ethics and performance in the care setting.
Since Mary Knew is new, the documentation should be noted as a new patient (NP) on the schedule. That way the right material is out for the physician. For example, at the wound clinic, we need to get a measuring stick, gauze and saline out for every patient. But if the patient is NP, we need to get out a doppler for the physician. Also, we would need to have the patient some questions. The most important question would be if the patient is on any medication and what for. Also, what the patients medical history? What surgeries have been done and why? Also, family history (grandparents, parents, siblings and childrens medical
Verbal communication between the nurses during shift change or simply writing a progress report on the status of the patient does not cater to the needs of the patient, it is a mere communication method that is unreliable and nurse perception of the written report are often molded with bias and does not wholly represent the patient’s holistic health care needs. As dictated by Caruso (2007), “Change of shift signifies a time of carful communication in order to promote patient safety and best practices... [the risk exists of] relaying important information becomes muddled by irrelevant information instead...” (p.17). In essence, implementation of bedside nurse shift report/handover deems to provide the most opportune outcomes and focuses on patient-centered

Please email me if the result is out/ if you need more information about me. Thank you very much and you have a wonderful day!
When a patient is first admitted into a long term facility, family members often have questions about what the next steps will be for their loved one’s care. Many of the answers involving their family member’s care are provided through care plans and care planning conferences. Each nursing home resident has a care plan that is essentially a roadmap to their care. And care conferences are routine event for all types of providers such as long-term facility nursing homes. Patient care conferences are a highly effective way for all the health care professionals to come together in order to discuss and solve complex patient care problems in hopes that this collaboration will lead to high quality outcomes for the patient (Registered Nursing Org.,

y name is Edna McCrary, and I am a senior Nursing Major at William Jewell College. I received my Capstone assignment yesterday (at Shawnee Mission Medical Center in Labor and Delivery), and just wanted to know that I am very excited to be working with you! For my Capstone, I am assigned to do 11 twelve hour shifts on the unit (I believe that one of them will be with the charge nurse). I am emailing you so that I can establish a set schedule with you for the dates between January 18th - March 5th. My orientation at Shawnee Mission Medical Center is on January 17th, and after that I will be available to work with you. Also, could you send me your work schedule during the dates listed above? I look forward to meeting you, and hearing from you!
I met with my nurse manager, Stephanie Jones on Thursday November 10, 2011 at 1:00 pm. Stephanie is the nurse manager for cardiology services at the hospital that I am employed. She attends many meetings and is on multiple committees and is quite involved with the facility. The three activities that I will be shadowing her on are the Staffing Committee for which she is the chair, on Monday November 14, 2011 at 1:00 pm, Readmissions meeting (regarding reducing CHF readmissions), on Wednesday November 16, 2011 at 2:00 pm, and CV Case Conference (where cardiology care is discussed with other members of administration and physicians), Thursday November 17th at 7:30 am. My roles as an observer will be to just observe. There are multiple people involved with these committees and I will probably not have much input to add. It is possible that I will be included
Nurses encounter a variety of perceptions during a single patient interaction. Understanding each patient and their situation centers around understanding those perceptions. Perception is a way of regarding, understanding, or interpreting something; a mental impression. This paper will outline the main tenants of regarding, understanding, or interpreting.
Very good points you made. I enjoyed reading your discussion clear and concise. I agree with you that we need to be vigilant and watch around us. Some of these reports are unfair with nurses and the job we do. We have to please the patient the moment they arrive to the moment they leave, and sometimes is not good enough. Lately, the focusing in health care became to cost not quality. This make me feel uncomfortable. Patient needs to be discharged “period”!!! Cannot stay more than three days if inpatient and two days if observation.

In September 2013 a study by Janis Tuxbury was published researching the presence felt among telehealth nurses with their interaction with their patients. This study was a qualitative study, which employed interviews of the nurses as the basis of data information. In this study, they asked the nurses to specifically report instances with their patients that signified presence while delivering care and education. Tuxbury defined presence as a flow of communication between the nurse and the patient that benefit both the nurse and the patient. The study further defined the process of presence in telehealth as the call, the response, the choice to participate in dialogue, meeting, relating, and, lastly, presence. The stage of meeting was truly
