    Preceptor is SO BAD!

    Rose_Queen replied to Guest606's topic in General Nursing

    My thoughts: 2 shifts in is far too soon to be questioning the ability of your preceptor to precept (separate issue from unsafe practice issues- not addressing those here especially as ICU is not my...

    In trouble afraid of being kicked out don't know what to do

    Rose_Queen replied to Sweetb90's topic in General Students

    General rule: if it has to do with school or work, don't post it. No matter how innocent it may seem. You'd be surprised at how much info can be gleaned from one picture. Those who know what the...

    Email from dfpr??

    Rose_Queen replied to futurenurse93_'s topic in General Nursing

    Do all unsolicited emails make you this agitated? I can’t tell you how many emails I get from Target or Barnes and Noble or other stores that don’t interest me. I just click delete and move on....

    Sequential Concurrent Surgical Fields - Trauma

    Rose_Queen replied to ctsurgeryscrubrn's topic in Operating Room

    Not the scenario you're describing, but we've had some where neuro was doing a crani at the same time trauma was doing a laparotomy. We did keep the fields separate- each had their own count, their...

    Email from dfpr??

    Rose_Queen replied to futurenurse93_'s topic in General Nursing

    You only waited 33 minutes before posting this... Most likely it's because there's a small population that would have also received this email. It was also the middle of the day, when day shifters are...

    Where are the RN transition training programs?

    Rose_Queen replied to 1Jessie86's topic in General Nursing

    Agreed. Even if you were to find and be able to complete some kind of course, you're still going to get the orientation to the unit. We have had some new hires go out on their own before we hired them...

    RaDonda Vaught Update - State Health Officials Reverse Decision and File Medical Disciplinary Charges

    Rose_Queen replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in Nursing News

    Healthcare is already one of the most regulated if not THE most regulated industry out there. You can't regulate every bad thing out- that's just

    Ethical Dilemma: Is it ever ok to mislead a patient?

    Rose_Queen replied to RNjuice's topic in General Nursing

    Recovery wasn't an issue here, but when my mother was dying from metastatic cancer, you bet we made sure she got her medications! Without the morphine, she was in pain. Without the haldol, she was...

    My facility is restraining a resident and I feel that I can't help.

    Rose_Queen replied to Nursingstudent___'s topic in General Nursing

    But a patient at home doesn't do a daily check. For these patients, it is their home setting. I sure as heck don't check my HR and BP before popping my

    My facility is restraining a resident and I feel that I can't help.

    Rose_Queen replied to Nursingstudent___'s topic in General Nursing

    The setting determines the need to check vitals. Most schools approach teaching from the viewpoint of an acute care (hospital) nurse. Yes, patients in the hospital are going to be monitored much...

    Do you share teaching materials with other professors?

    Rose_Queen replied to SafetyNurse1968's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    Staff development here rather than academic, but we willingly share to other departments and with other facilities within the parent organization. We've actually discarded some of our own orientation...

    Justifying the cost of an Ivy League Nursing Education

    Rose_Queen replied to Barbiegirl1229's topic in General Students

    No, the degree merely denotes the level of education. Certification is what demonstrates expertise as experience is required to sit for the majority of certification exam. You appear to be associating...

    OR nurse pursing NP

    Rose_Queen replied to scrubulator's topic in Operating Room

    Not an NP myself, but I've worked with several nurses whose only experience was the OR before they attended NP school. Those who say OR nurses shouldn't go back to school since it's not "real nursing"...

    Overturning a grade is it possible?

    Rose_Queen replied to Misscruella's topic in General Students

    Many programs consider lab to be part of clinicals. And not notifying ahead of time? Unless a true emergency, that won’t fly in programs

    Legit online degrees

    Rose_Queen replied to RNgoalss's topic in Online Distance Learning

    A pre-licensure program that is 100% online will not exist- there absolutely must be an in-person clinical component in order to meet BON requirements for NCLEX eligibility. For some programs,...

    New nurse - how to research hospitals from nurse's perspective?

    Rose_Queen replied to meagchop's topic in General Students

    You could check out reviews on sites like glass door, but remember that people are more likely to complain than compliment in such

    RaDonda Vaught Update - State Health Officials Reverse Decision and File Medical Disciplinary Charges

    Rose_Queen replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in Nursing News

    No, the search function is not the same as an override. I can search a lengthy list of profiled meds; the override was the removal of vecuronium instead of the ordered Versed that was, indeed,...

    RaDonda Vaught Update - State Health Officials Reverse Decision and File Medical Disciplinary Charges

    Rose_Queen replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in Nursing News

    When this story first broke, I was shocked by the charges and also by the lack of professional discipline. However, after reading the CMS report, I leave it to the jury to decide. Saying everything is...

    Jury Duty

    Rose_Queen replied to lizsmith1990's topic in General Nursing

    Seek clarification from your facility’s policies- most likely there is one that addresses jury duty. My facility will still leave the schedule as is in case the person summoned is

    Failed -- unacceptable reason

    Rose_Queen replied to yolonono's topic in General Students

    Failing because of 1 point in an exam means you have been borderline for quite some time. Repeat the course, and this time understand why you were so close to the edge and have a plan to prevent that....

    MSN but offered the salary of ADN

    Rose_Queen replied to peaceluvandnursing's topic in Nursing Career

    There are many places that don't pay differently for those doing the same job with a different degree. They pay to the license, not the letters behind one's name. I would negotiate based on...

    Overturning a grade is it possible?

    Rose_Queen replied to Misscruella's topic in General Students

    What happens with other students is not your concern. You don't know what may have happened in private meetings. What I see here is excuses and not admitting that your actions led to what happened...

    AITA?

    Rose_Queen replied to Dragonfly.RN's topic in General Nursing

    There’s patient abandonment, which is what you’re thinking of, and then there’s job abandonment where one simply walks off, which is exactly what OP did and also stated job

    Justifying the cost of an Ivy League Nursing Education

    Rose_Queen replied to Barbiegirl1229's topic in General Students

    I wouldn't. An Ivy League degree doesn't mean in nursing what it would in, say, law. Why take on the cost? Ideally, student loans wouldn't exceed what you could reasonably earn in your first year of...

    Multistate licensure confusion

    Rose_Queen replied to cassie675's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Where you take your exam has nothing to do with where your license is issued. The state in which you apply for licensure will determine what state gives you a license. If you want to hold a compact...
