Epic Update:  As the organization transitions to a new Electronic Medical Record (EMR), the countdown to the Bayview implementation on December 1, 2015 is fast approaching. Let’s show our support for our colleagues by supporting them during their Go-Live throughout the month of December. You can become a member of the support pool by emailing Erin Chisnell at [email protected]. Kudos to our multiple super users throughout the department who have stepped up to assist already. Special thanks to Regina Hendrix, Keisha Perrin and Shilta Subhas who are in the process of becoming Epic Credential Trainers who will assist with teaching end-users at both BMC and JHH.

Help support the #NursesUnite media campaign by snapping a photo of you and some of your colleagues proudly wearing your stethoscopes. Email photos to Kelly Reif at [email protected] to be posted on the Hopkins Nursing Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/TheInstituteForJohnsHopkinsNursingThe campaign began to raise awareness about the nursing profession following recent comments made on The View about a Miss America contestant who performed a monologue about her job while dressed in scrubs and wearing a stethoscope around her neck.

 

Congratulations to Kisten Nolan, nurse manager in the Moore Clinic who received the Ambulatory Excellence in Leadership Award. Nominated by Dr. Moore due to her outstanding leadership, she has leveraged the nurse role to the highest scope of practice as a case manager, care team member and professional provider and promotes a positive environment that embraces all.
