The following are a ton of updates from the past two
magnet meetings. Please read through and let me know if you have questions! I
am hoping to continue to use the blog as an informal way to pass along some of
the information from my meetings to you all! Enjoy! –Kelsey
Johnson and Johnson Gala
-
28 RNs from MUSC in attendance

3 of the top 4 videos came from MUSC and the
winner was from 9E with a video about falls prevention
Nursing Excellence
-
Joint Commission Diabetes Center: keep up the
good work! We help with this with our diabetes admissions!
RN III
-
Nurse alliance is looking into a new system
for this…
o
Hopefully will not be based on points but
rather, yes- something is completed, or, no- its not
o
Hopefully non-exempt employees will be able
to become RN IIIs with a pay raise
-
Evidence Based Practice Workshop- if
interested in RN III highly recommend doing this class where you can get your
research project completed
o
One MUSC RN made a poster with the project
she did and was able to go to New Orleans to present it
Back to School
-
38 RNs have taken advantage of tuition
discounts at University of Phenoix- don’t forget there are 5 schools offering
discounts to MUSC
-
We currently have several Nurses going back
to school! (Sheri Fannin, Julie Taylor, Erin O’Donnell, Alli McCraw)
Certification
-
Last spring we had set a goal as a unit to
have 5% certified
-
Currently we have 3 nurses including Melinda
(Jason Williams, Patricia Prause)
-
I am going to take the test in January so let
me know if you want to study together! (FYI over TEN PC RNs are certified- only
one did not pass on their first try)
AACN
-
Highly recommend membership- you get discount
on certification exams, free CEs, opportunities to attend conferences, and a newsletter
that has some interesting articles in it! (I will leave my copy in the
break-room for you to take a look at)
-
*With the certification discount- I think
there are some rules about when the discount will apply after becoming a member-FYI*
