    California Safe Nurse to Patient Ratios in Acute Care Settings

    Rose_Queen replied to CSUSM Student Nurses's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Is it safe to assume there are screenshots from a word processing program in the PDF? Because there are misspelling red lines under many names. You'll want to redo that to get rid of the lines for a...

    RN training newly hired nurse.

    Rose_Queen replied to Olga's topic in General Nursing

    This is a misconception. Student nurses do NOT practice under the license of a nurse. They learn under an exception to the licensure requirement. “Nursing Practice Acts include statutory language...

    Saying No to extra shifts, is it bad if you're new?

    Rose_Queen replied to AngelaB236's topic in General Nursing

    Don't feel bad. Once you say yes it will never stop. Staffing is management's problem to solve, not your responsibility to burn yourself out by working overtime. The easy way? If you want to work...

    Why do clinics advertise for an NP for months and months without hiring?

    Rose_Queen replied to FullGlass's topic in Advanced Practice

    I wouldn't be surprised if it's a lack of resources to train for those who don't have one of their qualifications. Probably staff turnover very quickly. Could also be that the job posting that faces...

    Board of Nursing Complaint

    Rose_Queen replied to Power2020's topic in Advanced Practice

    They are using approved protocols that have been vetted by a medical panel for the facility. For example, a patient coming into the ER with chest pain launches the protocol for an EKG, troponins, and...

    PTO not in the budget for remainder of year

    Rose_Queen replied to galaxygirl17's topic in General Nursing

    Is it just OP's unit? If so, I'd want to know what HR's take on it is, especially since it also singles out RNs. Either way, I'd be looking for a new job- this is a sign of either a poorly managed...

    Senior practicum...not eligible for an independent practicum

    Rose_Queen replied to adamczykk13's topic in General Students

    I doubt you'll be successful, but it doesn't hurt to ask. The thing is, if they make an exception for you, then everyone will want an exception. There has to be a cutoff somewhere. Honestly, if you...

    What should I have done differently? Did I endanger my patient?

    Rose_Queen replied to misha's topic in General Nursing

    Interesting. I had a blood pressure just over 200 when I was getting an echo. The tech said they'd have to take it again after and if it was still over 200 then notify the doc. (It came down- I blame...

    Private Student Loan

    Rose_Queen replied to jluc13's topic in California Nursing

    How expensive is very expensive? If you would be taking out more in loans than you could realistically expect to make in your first year of nursing, you may want to reconsider the program. Many people...

    Would you do that? New grad dilemma

    Rose_Queen replied to Twinkle007's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, but being welcome to apply and being a competitive candidate are two very different things, especially if they are in an area with lots of new grads hunting for jobs. They can afford to be picky...

    What should I have done differently? Did I endanger my patient?

    Best experience for a new grad?

    Rose_Queen replied to Patty0102's topic in Nursing Career

    Is it possible to get a school nurse position as a new grad? And if it is, is it wise? School nurses are working with slim resources- their back up in an emergency is EMS. They need to have solid...

    Punishment for “neglect” as CNA not state tested?

    Rose_Queen replied to Futur3Nur53's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Can a state deny granting a license based on past behavior? Yes, they can- just go check out the criminal history forum here. Can you be reported to the BON? Yes. Does that mean the investigation will...

    Use it or...lose it? A&P and Nursing

    Rose_Queen replied to Jedrnurse's topic in General Nursing

    I prefer online reputable sources- textbooks tend to be outdated by the time they've made it to print. Less of an issue if you're speaking specifically of anatomy, but new discoveries do happen. I...

    Director wants to change all 12 hr shift nurses to 10 hr!!!!

    Rose_Queen replied to truejewel82's topic in General Nursing

    13 for how many ORs? We only have 5, with 25 ORs on days and 3 ORs after 1930. It could be that they truly do need to do the right-sizing of getting more staff on day shift- we found that we had days...

    CRNA Scope

    A CRNA who wants to change specialties to another type of advanced practice will need to complete the appropriate education and certification. Not even the NP specialties are interchangeable- someone...

    Director wants to change all 12 hr shift nurses to 10 hr!!!!

    Rose_Queen replied to truejewel82's topic in General Nursing

    Gotta remember that the OR (which OP mentioned in their second post is where they work) is a totally different animal than an inpatient nursing unit. Most ORs do the bulk of their work on day shift,...

    Director wants to change all 12 hr shift nurses to 10 hr!!!!

    Rose_Queen replied to truejewel82's topic in General Nursing

    Ah. The specialty does help it make a lot more sense. My facility staffs the OR with a combination of 8, 10, and 12 hour shifts. The 10 hour people still start at 0700 and leave at 1730. They help...

    CRNA Scope

    CRNAs specialize in providing anesthesia care. You will find them or surgical in procedural settings, not primary care. An NP has the option to work in primary care depending on the specialization...

    Medical schools now adding "fluff"

    That would be a copyright issue and violation of AN TOS. OP, there is more to medicine than just science. Yes, I said that. Social aspects definitely affect the care of patients from different...
