At Pittsburgh Mercy Hospital - We have since we became a trauma
hospital-
always given the nurses who are CCRN or CEN .30 cents hour  diff.  in
their
pay. Over the years when you take the test and pass you are reimbursed
for
your test fee. Currently we are reimbursing for successfully passing
the
test. We have also provided a 16 hour review class to encourage nurses
to
take the test for CCRN.  Our local ENA - Offers a CEN review which is
reimbursed by our ED doctors who support education each year with $200
for
each full time nurse.  Hope this helps.

We are currently looking at our process for CCRN reimbursement and
recognition.  We are interested in how other hospitals acknowledge and
compensate their nurses.

Thanks!

We have also looked at trending of patients and have staffed
accordingly, 
meaning we generally have a float nurse from 11am to 3am.  The float 
position is staffed with a trauma resource nurse, the other nurse that

responds(trauma specialist)has an assignment.  I would like to see a
third 
person for our Trauma Stats, perhaps a nurse from the ICU...but that
will 
take some negotiation.

We currently utilize nursing staff from the ED to provide all nursing
care 
during the trauma resuscitation.  This same nurse accompanies the
patient to

any radiologic procedures and finally to their destination unit.  As
you 
might expect, on a busy trauma day/night, this can pull several nurses
at a 
time out away from their "routine" duties, leaving the ED itself short

staffed.  Utilizing the trauma registry we have trended days of the
week and

times that are  "trauma heavy" and began to staff accordingly, but some
of 
these things you cannot plan for!  Can any of you share ideas on how
you 
utilize nursing staff in caring for trauma patients without depleting
the 
ED? 

I'll look forward to hearing your thoughts-
