Nurse Meeting Experience

Step 2 - Insurance verification- After Patient gives you the pre-registration information that is needed. You then can confirm patients insurance information for the benefits and deductibles that are due at time of visit.

Even though Nightingale Hospital has a very detailed Site Identification and Verification Protocol, some areas do not meet JHACO’s standards. Updating the Universal Protocol and Preprocedure Hand-Off Check sheet will not only bring the facility into compliance but may eliminate any potential failure in communication between patient, caregiver and provider.

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

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.

This is Ziying Tan again. I called the nurse recruitment and they told me that you guys are still interviewing people. I am extremely interested in this New Grad Nurse Position and I would like to start my nursing career at UCDMC. UCDMC is one of a few hospitals in California received Magnet recognition, which the professional and high quality nursing care inspires me to become a part of the team.

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.,

My journey to grow into a professional register nurse is becoming a reality. I have been working all my life to accomplish this goal. However, as I have learned during my reading and research there is a lot more to becoming a professional nurse then just obtaining the title of RN and there is an extensive difference between a RN and LPN that I will discuss in more detail in the second half of this paper. In the meantime let me emphasize the first half of this paper. I am asked to define professional socialization and then summarize the four stages of the process of professional socialization with a rationale, when I read this I just say how, that sounds impossible and then again it just means I am one step closer to learning to be a professional register nurse. On the other hand, to really grow I must examine myself to identify the two barriers that could interfere with me accomplishing the fourth stage of

A nurse-patient collaboration experience I encountered stood during my junior year of high school. At the time, my mother was incarcerated and I suffered from constant anxiety and depression.Two attributes of collaboration that occurred in this exchange included communication and teamwork. Communication enntailed three components - silence, remaining neutral, and acknowledgment of emotions. Silence sanctioned me time to truly consider what I needed, and to decide what emotions to share. As I expressed my concerns, the nurse remained neutral in her judgements - giving me options, without pressuring me towards choosing what she considered to be the best choice.Throughout the conversation, the nurse did not focus on lecturing me, but rather

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

I hope you are having a wonderful day! I am emailing you in hopes that you could help me put together our final nurse club event of this semester. Dr. Almonte and I spoke together yesterday, as we have had this event in the making for a while now. However, we realized as we were conversing and planning that we need to up our game! It would be extremely helpful and beneficial for each of us nursing students to have the opportunity to connect with a nurse specifically from each duty station that we will be checking into this summer. I am hoping that between you, the other DUINs students, and Dr. Almonte we can find at least one person currently working at or recently (within the last year) at Balboa (you would be a great

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

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.

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!

A nurse is planning group therapy for clients dealing with bereavement should the nurse include in the initial phase.

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
