    New Charge Nurse

    Rose_Queen replied to PDXOR's topic in Operating Room

    Don’t be afraid to make surgeons talk to each other. I need extra fingers and toes to count the times I had one surgeon insisting he not wait his turn in line to start an after hours case. I took...

    Was my unsatisfactory in clinical unfair?

    Rose_Queen replied to Ashestoashes's topic in General Students

    Instructors do not do it for the money. Academic pay is far less than pay anywhere else in nursing. Calculating it out by hours spent in the classroom, in clinical, grading, and everything else, it...

    Explain Medical Asepsis Vs Surgical Asepsis

    Rose_Queen replied to Butterflllyyyy98's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Literally the first Google result is from Wikipedia and has a sentence that pretty much sums it up right in the preview. Reduction vs complete elimination of

    How would you improve the nursing profession? (beyond better staffing, higher pay, etc)

    Rose_Queen replied to labordude's topic in General Nursing

    Truly, the only way to fix this is to add staff, get ratios, and get ancillary staff. Just like Jedrnurse said, it's like trying to get something without doing the required

    Employer Paying for School?

    Rose_Queen replied to brookalyn's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Specific to CRNA school, my facility is outside the norm. They will provide a stipend during clinicals so that you have money for expenses without having to work, pay 100% of tuition, and we even have...

    Ohio licensure renewal

    Rose_Queen replied to Agraylpn's topic in General Nursing

    Sounds like a question for the board, but if you have an expiration date, then I wouldn't take that as a

    Documenting an in/out implant

    Rose_Queen replied to Tiffany.N's topic in Operating Room

    If it's the current surgery and the patient doesn't leave the OR with it in place, we document it as wasted. There's a comment box we can use for why (trial pin, incorrect size, etc.) If it's from a...

    What to do about DNP and flu shot?

    Rose_Queen replied to Travelingon's topic in General Nursing

    OP visited the site 2 hours ago, but hasn't responded to this thread since 2/5. I'm guessing we won't get follow up, most likely because OP wasn't told what she wanted to hear, here or by the

    Least Physically demanding?

    Rose_Queen replied to freesia29's topic in General Nursing

    Many of those positions require experience to go along with it, and teaching usually requires an MSN at a minimum. OP, have you visited the disability forum? You may find some helpful information...

    Bedside Nursing

    Trapezium bar.

    Rose_Queen replied to Nursing Au's topic in Orthopedic

    It’s not the questions from students, it’s the lack of effort they put in. Some come and verbatim copy and paste the question then sit back and expect the work to be done for them. However, this...

    Would this be considered abandonment?

    Rose_Queen replied to Twinkle007's topic in General Nursing

    I was not responding to the OP specifically, but to the question of who says to report. And while some may choose to resign rather than be terminated, there is at least one state that does indeed...

    Which is better, a BA in Psychology or a BSN for the PMHNP?

    Which is better, a BA in Psychology or a BSN for the PMHNP?

    Rose_Queen replied to HansenRN's topic in Psychiatric

    You need to complete a masters or doctorate in nursing with a focus in PMHNP to become a psych NP. A masters in psychology does not meet the criteria for an advanced practice nursing role. Some...

    A Word of Caution in Relation to Review Programs

    Rose_Queen posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Folks, be sure you read the terms of use with any review program you buy and what you're allowed to do with it. I've seen several posts lately with members offering their purchased programs for...

    Expectations when addressing physicians across the country

    Rose_Queen replied to labordude's topic in General Nursing

    I find it to be more generational than location. The new surgeons coming in? First name (still Dr. Z with patients). The surgeon who's been operating for 40 years? Dr. X would probably have a coronary...

    Hey guys, I have a interview. I need help answering some questions.

    You don't necessarily have to pull examples from your nursing student experience. It will be much easier for you to answer these from your own experience rather than adopting the stories of

    I want to be an RN, but worried I can not make it through clinical

    New grad Nurse quits nursing

    Rose_Queen replied to lilly-may's topic in General Nursing

    Based on spelling of pediatrics and bachelors in a specific specialty, I’m betting U.K. If OP is in certain countries, they educate to the specialty, so she may have to go back for additional...
