You should go to the OR. I know, there is “security” in a comfortable, known job, but a LOT of the forms you are filling out are condensed, computerized, and certainly streamlined in even a small community hospital. Plus, as the saying goes, just do it. I think too many nurses are wimpy about changing jobs, exploring options and exercising a self interest for continued professional development. The Nursing Home will
be happy to have you continue with the status quo, but you are cheating yourself.

I wonder if the implementation of the various types of electronic medical records will help solve this paper problem?

Well, you can still get out if you want but would it be the right decission? I’m heading the other way, I’ve left computer science for the lack of social interaction and am studying to be a nurse at age 28. Changing jobs is surely doable, but do you really want to?
