I've always kept my paper list of patients I have when I take report and thoughout the shift of the patients I've had. Now I keep a notebook just in case management pulls me in for questioning I can back it up and say yes or no i had this patient or this pt was discharged or admitted at this time.
Is this good or bad practice?
My understanding is that new nurses (recent graduates) are the most likely to leave the field. If true, why is this? Is it because they underestimated the job's demands?

I interviewed an RN for a full time position this morning. The interview was going well, and she seemed to be giving me some really good answers. At the end of the interview, I asked if there was anything more she wanted to say. She then proceeded to tell me that I should really pay more attention to my weight, since being overweight puts me at risk for diabetes and cardiac problems, especially at my age. OK, so I am 25 pounds overweight, and around 50, and I know the risks, but do you really tell a potential manager that she is old and fat? Needless to say, I will not be offering her a position.

...you are looking at adorable pictures of your friend's 5-month-old baby on facebook, and almost the first thing you notice is his lovely big, straight scalp vein, and you therefore see it as a plus that he doesn't have almost any hair yet. Yikes!
I am the school nurse for a private school of 350+ prek through 8th grade students. My school is changing administrative record keeping programs, and I may have the opportunity to select some new nurse-specific health record software! I'm excited.
But anyway, I was wondering what programs you all would recommend
We have new administration in our agency and they are making the nurses pick up the overflow from the HHA's. Does any other agency do this? I question whether they can make us assume the role of another discipline. I have worked for this agency for 3 years and have never had to do this.
