    Typical pay raises progression

    Rose_Queen replied to Ughnamesarehard's topic in Nursing Career

    This is going to be completely facility dependent. Some have a set rate for an increase annually. Some have merit based increases. Some may do both a cost of living increase and a merit increase....

    Is this a breach?

    Rose_Queen replied to Big Blondie's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    Nope. Not a violation. The MA who shared the information got it directly from the mother, not from the chart. The mother could have simply said she had a family emergency and not elaborated when...

    MSN

    Rose_Queen replied to freckles23's topic in General Nursing

    100% this. You may be young and single now, but that doesn't mean when your situation changes that you can't go back to school in the future. An MSN with no goal in mind makes no sense. Figure out...

    What happens if I don't work right away??? (May 2020 Grad)

    Rose_Queen replied to guest1136567's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Extremely unlikely, especially if you are in a saturated area. Those you graduated with will have years of experience. Those who graduate when you start your job hunt will have more current knowledge....

    CST drew up and administered medication....and it was wrong amount

    Rose_Queen replied to Alyk3309's topic in General Nursing

    Since it's something management requested, my guess would be an internal form of some sort. Perhaps their terminology for an incident

    Why did I give the med before surgery?

    Rose_Queen replied to coffeeandpiano's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    First, take a deep breath. Second, realize that yes, surgeons should be reviewing medication orders and indicating which ones should be held. It is not at all a common practice to hold all medications...

    Call to action! Nurses in Monitoring Programs

    Rose_Queen replied to hppygr8ful's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    People can change and reform. You may be surprised at how many of your coworkers past and present may have had a brush with programs such as these. Such a rigid viewpoint generally doesn't jive with...

    New RN in Texas and LVN license still verifiable

    Rose_Queen replied to Eltk1219's topic in General Nursing

    It seems you are mixing licensure level with job role. Yes, you have an RN license and will be held to those standards. However, your job doesn't just automatically become an RN role because you now...

    CST drew up and administered medication....and it was wrong amount

    Rose_Queen replied to Alyk3309's topic in General Nursing

    I would think that internal policies should limit that to those that must be administered as part of a sterile procedure, and only when the RN is not part of the sterile team or the physician isn't...

    Just Say “YES” to Nurse Staffing Laws

    Rose_Queen replied to SafetyNurse1968's topic in General Nursing

    Sole breadwinner/single parent- can't quit and still support the family Lack of jobs in their area- there may be pockets of nursing shortages throughout the country, but there are also pockets of...

    Fired from my first RN job after only 2 weeks.

    Rose_Queen replied to Mountainrnbsn's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Take a look at those reviews on Glassdoor- how many are negative vs how many are positive? Human nature is to make an effort to complain rather than make an effort to compliment. That is why so many...

    Failed 9 times, need to retake out of state

    Rose_Queen replied to DSVital_Asset1's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    You do realize that if you want a compact license, you must apply for it in the state where you legally reside? If you reside in TX, you can only have a compact license from TX. I suggest you...

    MD signature on verbal orders????

    Rose_Queen replied to paramedic-RN's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    No, it's still a verbal order. The nurse writes it as such and the provider signature confirms that yes, they did indeed provide the verbal order. A true verbal order should be limited to emergency...

    Need Help! Changed drug calculations requirement.

    Rose_Queen replied to Beaue's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    100%. I'd say 85% is extremely low for a pass rate when talking about medication calculations and the outcomes of medication errors. Utilize office hours to meet with your instructor for help. They...

    Rose_Queen replied to Ahrabia's topic in Nursing Career

    Why is BSN required for CRNA?

    Rose_Queen replied to MM1989's topic in General Nursing

    That’s been said about diploma programs, yet there’s still a handful of them out there. The whole BSN push came out decades ago, yet the ADN programs haven’t disappeared.

    Clinical Choices

    Rose_Queen replied to blessedfamily08's topic in General Students

    No, your clinical cannot be in a specific area. Nurses are prepared as generalists, and each state BON sets the number of hours that must be completed. The bulk of clinical hours tend to fall into...

    There will always be hot topic discussions in nursing, with a divide and supporters on each side. That doesn't mean that hot topics don't belong on a message board. If you take particular issue with a...
