    Question: Tooth or Foot First?

    Rose_Queen replied to Kooky Korky's topic in General Nursing

    My OR frequently works with surgeons to complete multiple surgeries at the same time in order not to give a patient multiple anesthetic encounters. Granted, the root canal could likely be done under...

    Guidance needed.

    Rose_Queen replied to Boonietunes's topic in Operating Room

    Is there a facility policy, possibly on the medical staff side, that addresses this already? Did the physician sign out to a covering partner? And was there a reason this happened? I worked with a...

    Moving to Another State Right After Nursing School

    Rose_Queen replied to guest1122927's topic in First Year After Licensure

    CA is a tough job market for new grad RNs, and even some experienced nurses. If you choose CA, definitely get experience first. If you choose to move immediately after school without getting...

    ACT Exam

    Rose_Queen replied to igus2666's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It's a standardized test covering multiple areas just like the SAT. Most colleges or universities are going to require ACT or SAT to be admitted to the school. The nursing program may have further...

    OB Unit for Male Student

    Rose_Queen replied to nurse2bguy555's topic in General Students

    Unlikely, as your school must have contracts already approved with those facilities. Is there a way to maybe flip flop classes and do what would normally be the next clinical course while your school...

    Why did I give the med before surgery?

    Rose_Queen replied to coffeeandpiano's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    The OR cannot make this determination- it’s outside of their scope. The only one who can answer that question is the surgeon as there is no hard and fast rule that every med must be stopped on every...

    Typical pay raises progression

    Rose_Queen replied to Ughnamesarehard's topic in Nursing Career

    Again, depends on the faciilty. In mine, it is an every two year application process with a portfolio but not a job role. In others, it's an application process to a job role with formal

    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

    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...
