    Shortened Learning Experience/COVID-19

    Rose_Queen replied to poliwag48's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I'm sure that in light of the situation, nurses who will be precepting you as you transition into the role of the nurse are going to be understanding. Much of the learning to be a nurse takes place in...

    CoronaVirus and getting a job in a hospital

    Rose_Queen replied to SueRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    As with many things, the nursing shortage can't be generalized to the entire country. There are indeed pockets of shortages, but there are also pockets of surpluses as well. As for why they want...

    "Why Wearing a Face Mask Is Encouraged in Asia, but Shunned in the U.S."

    Rose_Queen replied to adventure_rn's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Ha! We can’t even get healthcare professionals to wear masks correctly. If I had a dollar for every anesthesia provider and surgeon and OR staff I’ve seen with a mask that was practically only...

    COVID-19: How Can Inactive Nurses Help?

    Rose_Queen replied to 1LPN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I believe rather than disciplinary actions by an employer, OP was referring to disciplinary actions taken by the BON. OP, there may indeed be facilities that are taking pretty much any body they can...

    SINGLE STATE LICENSE

    Rose_Queen replied to KaforeignRN's topic in General Nursing

    You were able to do that without issue because Oregon is not a compact state. The fact that OP lives in a compact state but became licensed in another compact state where they do not reside...

    Help Deciding Which Nursing School Route to Pursue

    Rose_Queen replied to b530c58's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Research the job market in your area if you plan to stay there after graduating. I would think that the Bay Area is seeing far more new grads than available positions- CA cities are notorious for new...

    COVID-19: Pearson VUE test cancellation

    Rose_Queen replied to rnpediyuh's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I disagree with this petition. Things are closed for a reason- to keep people from gathering and passing the virus on. It is indeed possible to be infectious without symptoms. This is not about the...

    Low census and COVID-19?

    Rose_Queen replied to TeeRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    How exactly is your hospital getting away with not admitting respiratory patients? Couldn't that potentially be an EMTALA violation if these folks are coming in through the ER? We have also cancelled...

    NICU RN to day surgery?

    Rose_Queen replied to grobertson10's topic in General Nursing

    I would say that PRN is not the way to go for surgery. It’s a huge learning curve, and really requires repetition to learn. Whether our new OR hires are new grads or have experience in another...

    School Pretty Much Canceled Clinical

    Rose_Queen replied to Futurenurse7321's topic in General Students

    Take a deep breath. One of the first things you will realize when you enter the real world of nursing is that school did not teach you how to be a nurse- that is why you have a good, thorough...

    I know that the ASA has come out with recommendations, and it's possible that AANA has as well. (I'm an OR nurse, not a CRNA). It's also possible that your facility's anesthesia department has already...

    I’m sure they’re dealing with many calls and with minimal staff, if any. Take a deep breath- many things need to be worked out. My state closed all drivers license centers for two weeks but is...
