    Telecommute as LPN

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

    Those jobs require experience. A brief look at some of the first results on indeed .com show that at least 1 year experience required, preferred 3-5 years plus case management experience. OP, a work...

    Choosing an Operating Room Specialty

    Rose_Queen replied to ORJulez's topic in Operating Room

    RCIS work in cath lab with interventional cardiologists, not in surgery with cardiac surgeons. It also has its own allied health program. To become certified without attending an accredited program...

    Nurse Gives Lethal Dose of Vecuronium Instead of Versed

    Rose_Queen replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    Except in this case it wasn’t being used for conscious sedation but for anxiolytic

    Any advice if your boss (an RN manager) isn't willing to work with your school schedule?

    Rose_Queen replied to jss1985's topic in General Students

    It’s not necessarily about not wanting to work with your schedule but having to actually staff the unit. By asking to have the same day off every week, you are essentially requesting to reduce your...

    How do you feel on displaying your certification credentials on your badge?

    BP Troubleshooting

    Rose_Queen replied to anm's topic in General Nursing

    I work OR, so this is probably limited to short term. If we can't use an arm for one reason or another, we will indeed take the blood pressure on the same arm the IV is in. We have the luxury where...

    How do you feel on displaying your certification credentials on your badge?

    Rose_Queen replied to choksantos's topic in General Nursing

    Agreed. That's why I like that my facility uses the "certified nurse" badge buddy instead of using the actual abbreviation for each

    Please help with pediatric dosage calculation

    Rose_Queen replied to Michelle747's topic in General Students

    Interesting. We do not have these in my facility, unless they have some on peds (I've never even set foot on our peds

    Please help with pediatric dosage calculation

    Rose_Queen replied to Michelle747's topic in General Students

    Let's just look at those two answers. How would you measure 9/100 of an mL when syringes only measure to 1/10 of an mL? That right there should be throwing a red flag. I was taught desired divided by...

    Slowing Down

    Rose_Queen replied to historylady's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Have you looked into staff development? It seems a little easier to get into than academic education. Mother options may be looking at a work from home position or an ambulatory setting that just...

    Does it get better ?

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

    Deep breath. This is perfectly normal! It’s going to take you at least a year (most likely longer) in order to feel comfortable and competent in your new role. What matters is the feedback you’re...

    How do you feel on displaying your certification credentials on your badge?

    Rose_Queen replied to choksantos's topic in General Nursing

    I take it you live in a state that doesn't require full name to be shown? My state requires full name displayed with the exception of those working in psych units and ERs. Regardless, I feel covering...

    Considering going for MSN in Administration

    Rose_Queen replied to Jena Bauer's topic in General Students

    If you want to be in administration and management, you need to get experience first. How can one manage what one has never done? I waited until I had nearly 10 years experience to go back to school...

    AORN Periop101

    How many are in facilities that utilize the AORN Periop101 program? Looking for feedback on how it is structured, schedules, and how many times a year it’s

    Unfair Clinical Evaluations

    Rose_Queen replied to guest723's topic in General Students

    You asked and were answered. Then you continued to ask. That is where you need to stop. Once you have the answer (wait until she’s back), anything beyond that is badgering the nurse. What you are...

    I cant stand the attitude of many nurses

    Rose_Queen replied to Lostsoull's topic in General Nursing

    Your life should not revolve around your job. Mine are doesn’t and neither does the lives of my coworkers. I spend 8.5 hours per day at work (0.5 of that being my lunch break) and the majority of my...

    I cant stand the attitude of many nurses

    Rose_Queen replied to Lostsoull's topic in General Nursing

    You need to take care of yourself before you can take care of others. You need those breaks for basic human needs- food, rest, and restroom. Don’t become a

    Who is suppose to time anesthesia consent?

    Rose_Queen replied to Nursejones702's topic in Operating Room

    I just want to clarify something- the nurses are reviewing the anesthesia consent and having the patient sign it before the CRNA arrives to discuss the plan of care? If that's the case, that's not...

    How often do you wash your scrubs? :)

    Rose_Queen replied to RNinheart's topic in General Nursing

    Complaints? No. Concerns about the inaccuracies and assumptions in your post? Yes. "Germs" are not the primary cause of CHF, and in fact would be a tiny percentage of causes. There is no correlation...

    I cant stand the attitude of many nurses

    Rose_Queen replied to Lostsoull's topic in General Nursing

    @Lostsoull, is this the same place you talk about in this thread? If not, and you are experiencing the same things at a new place, it may be time to take a look at what you bring to the table. Are you...

    Unfair Clinical Evaluations

    Rose_Queen replied to guest723's topic in General Students

    That would be because the schools are often sending students to the facility and the instructor is "somewhere in the building". When I went to nursing school, we were the responsibility of our...

    Neonatologist

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

    You would be better served looking into medical student forums or approaching an academic advisor. As this site is geared to nurses, we are not typically going to be able to guide you on another...

    OR Huddles

    Rose_Queen replied to bryan_del's topic in Operating Room

    The OR comes with a steep learning curve as it typically isn't covered in nursing school. You will be learning all the basics of patient care in the OR- assessment (consents, understanding of...
