    Ineffective Compressions

    Rose_Queen replied to beekindRN's topic in General Nursing

    That doesn't answer the question, and is rude to boot. @chare has quite a bit of experience. Anecdotal =/= factual. Just because you think your monitor tells you if your compressions are effective...

    What kind of nursing should I pursue?

    Rose_Queen replied to Bsum1's topic in General Nursing

    If you struggle with time management, PACU may not be a good fit. Yes, the ratio is 1:2, but you are constantly turning over the patients you have as a typical PACU stay is 30-90 minutes depending on...

    What is a Masters in Nursing used for?

    Rose_Queen replied to Calbrunette's topic in General Nursing

    It would depend on the track the student chooses to take. Many colleges and universities offer multiple MSN tracks. The one I obtained my MSN from offered education, leadership, and informatics. It...

    How long to get license issued?

    Rose_Queen replied to hopefulRNktm's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    What state are you in? Some take a notoriously long time. What may be true in other states may not be true for the state you are

    Patient has MRSA in urine, what do I do?

    Rose_Queen replied to mzsuccess's topic in General Nursing

    What do you mean by “traces”? Either the urine culture grew out MRSA or it didn’t. Antibiotics very well could have eliminated the

    Patient has MRSA in urine, what do I do?

    Rose_Queen replied to mzsuccess's topic in General Nursing

    Patients can indeed be decolonized/have their infection treated with antibiotics and no longer be carriers or infected with MRSA. It's the reason that any patient admitted to my hospital with a...

    Is this interview process unprofessional?

    Rose_Queen replied to raindrop's topic in Nursing Career

    Never put all your eggs in one basket. Even if granted an interview, keep looking. What happened isn't all that unusual- HR can tell you one thing, but they don't know the reality of what happens with...

    Would you completely remove your staff from the duty roster/work assignment if they call in sick for a week?

    Rose_Queen replied to hazyblue's topic in General Nursing

    My facility's policy is once you've missed 3 days, you must bring in a note stating that you are allowed to return to work before you're back on the schedule. Did your note state you were allowed to...

    HIPAA and court orders and custody oh my!

    Rose_Queen replied to T-Bird78's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    I have to agree with JKL33 here. A parent needs to be able to parent, meaning he/she needs to have information about their child's health. Unless there are court orders prohibiting one/both parents...

    Biology major changing to nursing major

    Rose_Queen replied to ilee00's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Have you made an appointment to speak with an academic advisor? When I made the same change way back in the dark ages, I met with one of the nursing academic advisors who was able to guide me with the...

    OR nurse vs. PACU nurse?

    Rose_Queen replied to Yunikat's topic in General Specialties

    Generally, PACUs do not take new grads and instead prefer ICU experience. My facility used to take new grads; now, they're considering not even taking those with only med/surg experience. You will...

    Can I lose my CNA Certification if I show up for the beginning of my shift and not clock in or accept report?

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

    Look up the definition of abandonment for your state. Generally speaking, you must have first accepted the assignment. The fact that they are saying they won't report you if you come back most likely...

    Does Being a Nurse Remove Your Constitutional Right to Free Speech? The Carolyn Strom Case.

    Rose_Queen replied to steven007's topic in Nursing News

    There are states that actually have moral turpitude statutes. It's not necessarily the board trying to put their views on people but actually having to uphold the statutes- I believe that's what...

    Chattanooga Columnist's Controversial Recommendations For Area Nursing Shortage

    Rose_Queen replied to J.Adderton's topic in Nursing News

    The good managers don't need the requirement. The nurse manager in one of the units I cover will frequently take the charge role, will be the circulator or scrub in a trauma case, has come in at 3am...

    You're comparing apples and oranges here. An opinion on family member's care vs sexually explicit material posted into a classroom aren't even close. Read through the published disciplinary actions...

    Student externship in ICU requires prior experience?

    Rose_Queen replied to coco1320's topic in General Students

    Typically nursing externships require one to have completed so much of a program to be eligible (usually the summer between junior and senior years). The one you mention above sounds like it would...

    Ohio Hospital Fires 23 After Fentanyl Overdose Deaths

    Rose_Queen replied to J.Adderton's topic in Nursing News

    But does it state to blindly follow physician or advanced practice providers' orders? No, because nurses don't blindly follow orders. They need to think! Nurses can and have been disciplined for...

    Ohio Hospital Fires 23 After Fentanyl Overdose Deaths

    Rose_Queen replied to J.Adderton's topic in Nursing News

    I would absolutely love to see that in a state's nurse practice act. But I won't hold my breath waiting, because it's not there. Nurses are held to the expectations they will provide prudent nursing...

    Hard time with preceptor

    Rose_Queen replied to CcPP's topic in Operating Room

    You need to speak up to your manager and educator. One bad preceptor doesn't ruin a job- you need to get yourself paired up with someone else. Not all nurses are cut out to precept- and it sounds like...

    Rejected from OR nurse residency

    Is it within the same system? If so, it may. If not, it shouldn’t, but they may see leaving a job after 3 months as a proceed with caution

    Rejected from OR nurse residency

    Rose_Queen replied to Reaz's topic in Operating Room

    Agree with Roxy. Most likely it is a facility policy issue based on how long you’ve worked. Mine is 12 months after completing orientation, so really more like 15 months. Manager discretion is...

    Lost Nurse in the OR

    Rose_Queen replied to KNest18's topic in General Nursing

    That's a bit extreme even for the OR, but OR orientation is generally 4-9 months depending on the number of specialties the new nurse is expected to be able to function in as well as whether the nurse...
