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.

Subject: [traumanurses] Trauma Nurse Utilization
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-
