    Who Did NOT Do a Year of Med Surg?

    Rose_Queen replied to Satori77's topic in General Nursing

    Well, there are facilities that do require med surg to do anything else, whether it's OR, ER, ICU, L&D, peds, etc. I "interviewed" at one as well as part of a job fair on campus. Chose not to work...

    Spouse of nurse

    Rose_Queen replied to martymoose's topic in General Nursing

    Yet you said he is working full time. That's not lack of contribution. He is contributing what he can. This is a much deeper issue and it sounds like you have a lot of resentment from the job that you...

    Spouse of nurse

    Rose_Queen replied to martymoose's topic in General Nursing

    Equal salary is not realistic. It also sounds like the issue is only coming up now because of increased expenses or is only a symptom of a deeper issue. That’s not the fault of him having a lower...

    Compact Help!

    Rose_Queen replied to _ember2nursing_'s topic in General Nursing

    In addition to what NICU Guy said above, also consider the ramifications if you are found to have submitted fraudulent information to the BON. Not only would you lose that compact license but you may...

    Florida Clinic warns nurses only speak English or be fired

    Rose_Queen replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Nursing News

    I'd say that's on par with pretty much all facilities. It would make sense that the facility validates that those doing translation are doing it the right way and can handle medical/nursing

    Professionalism while seeking a position internally

    Rose_Queen replied to BeatsPerMinute's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Refer to your facility's policy on intradepartmental staffing transfers. In mine, the only requirement is to notify the current supervisor of an interview. There is actually no "giving notice"- the...

    Hospital will not hire smokers

    Rose_Queen replied to BSNbeauty's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    There is the potential for that declaration to be overturned as smokers are not a protected class. Private entities have the right to determine who they will and will not hire, provided those reasons...

    OR Huddles

    Rose_Queen replied to bryan_del's topic in Operating Room

    That will most likely vary from facility to facility, but would be similar to huddles run in other units. The OR where I am, the huddle is to discuss any sets that need to be reprocessed for a later...

    How often do you wash your scrubs? :)

    Rose_Queen replied to RNinheart's topic in General Nursing

    The fact that non-industrial washers/dryers don't get that hot is exactly why AORN recommends surgical scrubs be washed by the healthcare facility with temps that do get hot enough to kill. And that...

    Latex/Adhesive Allergy in Patients

    Rose_Queen replied to educationjules's topic in Operating Room

    True latex allergies such as yours are not the most common that health care staff see. Many times, a nurse has asked a patient about their reaction to latex and are told "I don't like the smell of...

    Which specialties of nursing have more autonomy and less micromanagement?

    Rose_Queen replied to Naturally Brilliant's topic in General Specialties

    That's not a job autonomy issue. That's a culture issue. However, I can see the point about incomplete or incorrect documentation. There's always someone using that info for one report or another and...

    How long can I go before my LPN license becomes inactive?

    Rose_Queen replied to Nursing pursuit's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Are you asking about having a license but not having a job that requires it? Usually that's not an issue at all. Many nurses may take time away from work for family or personal reasons. As long as...

    Rose_Queen replied to Hamz's topic in General Nursing

    Hep B vaccine requirement.

    Rose_Queen replied to Bnc1992's topic in General Students

    Most likely it would depend on your age and what your school would have required. I'm not *that* old (even though some days I certainly feel old), and Hep B was never a childhood vaccine requirement....
