In our organization we compensate speciality area certification (CCRN,
CEN, OCN etc.) @ 0.75 cents an hour if the certification is applicable
to the area they are working.

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!

Utilization
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-
