    I want to work for the Union.

    Rose_Queen replied to LC0929's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    You'll need to be more specific. There is no general nursing union- nurses at union affiliated workplaces are represented by any of several unions. The vast majority of nursing workplaces are not...

    What is it like in your hospital right now?

    Rose_Queen replied to FloatFNP-C's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Many areas have yet to see a peak. Take a look at what is happening in New York City- they had to bring in 85 refrigerated trucks to manage bodies. I would bet that most of us still posting haven’t...

    Would you work as a Nurse Extern during COVID-19?

    Rose_Queen replied to peachshan's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Externships typically don’t start until June. This may not be as bad then, it may be the same or worse. No one has a crystal ball to know the exact way this will go; only prediction models. The one...

    Anyone having trouble getting hired??

    Rose_Queen replied to skydancer7's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Not only is HR drowning, in most places they aren't even on the premises and are trying to work from home. Nurse managers, who make the final decisions, have more than enough on their plates. Quite...

    How is your hospital handling PPE with GA's?

    Rose_Queen replied to MP RN's topic in Operating Room

    Seems like an absurd waste of PPE resources. Our CRNAs are wearing N95s routinely as intubation is considered an aerosol generating procedure. No one else in the room is, and we are not using another...

    Troy University School of Nursing has released their students back to CLINICALS with NO PPE for COVID-19

    Rose_Queen replied to the VEGAN Professor's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Heck, we aren’t allowing orientees near the COVID patients to preserve PPE. If there’s any facilities taking these students, they must be on units not accepting these patients. And that’s a big

    Does Having More Ventilators Even Help?

    Rose_Queen replied to Randomkindness's topic in Disaster Preparation

    We will be using CRNAs and PACU nurses to assist with vents. The PACU nurses are all required to maintain vent competency as there are times patients come out of the OR with a “wake up” vent....

    HIPAA

    Your first amendment right only guarantees that the government will not restrict your right to say things. That doesn’t necessarily mean what you say will be free of repercussions. Most likely you...

    We Did Not Sign Up For This

    Rose_Queen replied to allnurses's topic in Disaster Preparation

    No. I signed up to be a nurse whose employer would provide the required PPE to care for whatever patients come my way. While at the moment I have the fortune to not be in direct patient care, when the...

    Is my school risking my safety?

    Rose_Queen replied to karmachameleon's topic in Disaster Preparation

    They have said it is a possibility they may allow students to come back. This is a rapidly changing situation, and it may indeed be that the facilities will not allow students to return. The...

    Why hasn’t pay increased? Hazard pay, etc.?

    Rose_Queen replied to gcupid's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Posted in another thread, but does fit in here as well. Let's keep it to talking about hazard pay and not physician vs nurse. Thank

    We are looking at all of our nurses and where they may have worked prior to the OR to see if they can be utilized. If you're an AORN member, log into ORNurseLink and check out the posts there on this...

    CAN'T FIND JOB AFTER SCHOOL!

    Rose_Queen replied to short cake's topic in First Year After Licensure

    You may need to look outside the hospital setting. While some of the hard hit areas may need nurses, in other areas, current staff is getting low censused or furloughed. My own department (surgical...

    Staff sick with COVID-19 - what's your hospital policy?

    Most likely they are now looking at it as being in the community, so if staff were to become ill, there’s no way to prove the exposure occurred at

    COVID-19: Nurse Shortages

    Rose_Queen replied to LucilleBluth's topic in Disaster Preparation

    This is what I'm seeing as well. Most of my county's patients are at home. We are using maybe 2% of the areas set aside for COVID patients and our overall census has dropped from 88-102% down to...
