pm504 Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 I was wondering is being a ED scribe is an acceptable form of HCE for LSUNO and LSU-Shreveport? What types of HCE do they prefer?. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoNoHarm14 Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 Hello, I am not 100% about how LSU feels about scribing, but I do know that most schools do not count scribing as patient care hours because you do not actually interact with the patient. By interact I mean take vitals, transport patient, clean patient, and so on. I know that patient care hours are usually hands on and not just observation. I am a scribe as well and have been told this by many schools. I have applied to 8 schools, LSUS included, and I have not seen any that list scribing as patient care hours. With that being said it's great experience, and they know that scribes have great health care experience and a higher than normal medical terminology knowledge. You can describe your experience as a scribe by mentioning that you work with a diverse group of people, get to see what hospital life is really like, and understand what it is like to experience the front lines of working with patients. I wish you the best of luck this year! If I may, could you tell me the time line for LSUS getting back to you about interviews? I have received an email that said that they are reviewing my application and will email me. That was a week ago and I was wondering if you may know the time line. Christian Brothers, in Memphis, sent me an invite to interview within a couple of days. The anticipation is killing me. Thanks and good luck!
