Guest guest Posted July 13, 2012 Report Share Posted July 13, 2012 Since you are all talking about becoming CDEs I am hoping that someone somewhere knows of a RD or RDE looking to break into Diabetic education. I need a new RD for our Diabetes Program. Draw backs middle of nowhere Alaska, frequent travel in small planes, cover 1/5th of Alaska, has a physical education component, must be willing to try and eat local food. If you know of anyone intreseted have them check out our web sight at bbhac.org or contact me at jchase@.... Need help before the snow fall.

Guest guest Posted July 13, 2012 Report Share Posted July 13, 2012 I am in the same position, planning to take exam in November but do not know much about it. The stuff on medications seems like it will be hardest. How are you all documenting your DSME hours. I am going back to some old jobs to use a portion of what I did there and then will have my supervisor sign. I am also working one day a week at a diabetes clinic to get hours and will have the total signed off on. What do you think? I was told by the organization there was no particular format, just have it documented. Please let me know how you know others have done it or how you plan to do it.

Guest guest Posted July 16, 2012 Report Share Posted July 16, 2012 I have to keep a record of my outpatient education sessions for the hospital records so I use that, then I also document on any inpatient education I do. I was also told no particular format, and that they really don’t check into them much, I’m not sure how true that is though.
