    HEPA filter and TB

    Rose_Queen replied to Issa_mohamad's topic in Infectious Disease

    We utilize HEPA filters in addition to PAPRs in the OR where I work. The ORs aren't supposed to be put in negative

    Do CRNA's need to do any lifting or moving patients?

    Rose_Queen replied to Jake355's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    HoverMat. I would say it depends on the facility and type of surgery. We don't use HoverMats, but do use other friction reducing devices. Anesthesia is responsible for the head and neck when...

    Why do CRNA schools specifically require 1-2 years of ICU (and not OR) experience?

    Rose_Queen replied to Jake355's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    As an OR nurse who has only worked in the OR, I can tell you I am 100% unqualified to be using my experience to manage the anesthetized patient, especially one who is unstable. The ICU experience is...

    Permanently Kicked out of Practicum

    Rose_Queen replied to FrustratedExStudent's topic in General Students

    Except you will never find a policy that covers every specific situation- that is why they are broadly written. Still waiting for you to provide a case that sets precedent where you think this student...

    Pre-Op Surgical Team Walk-Through's

    Rose_Queen replied to ctsurgeryscrubrn's topic in Operating Room

    In the cases that need it, such info is included in the booking comments which can be seen in the EMR by the circulator and anesthesia. It is also to be verbalized during the briefing that takes place...

    Witnessing consent

    Rose_Queen replied to ILMRN's topic in Operating Room

    Exactly what ORoxyO said. There are so many checks that should be happening before the patient hits the OR where the missing witness signature should have been caught- the unit the patient came from...

    Permanently Kicked out of Practicum

    Rose_Queen replied to FrustratedExStudent's topic in General Students

    Please, provide precedent where this has happened. It would take very extreme situations for a lawyer to be willing to take a case of a student not completing a semester on, and even more so to

    Preparing for my new job in OR?

    Rose_Queen replied to michigan94's topic in Operating Room

    AORN is always a good place to start. If your facility utilizes Periop101 in orientation, you'll get a free year's membership. They do offer a pricey lifetime membership, but as annual dues are...

    Terminated in probation - no reason given

    They may sue (in this society people sue for pretty much anything), but if the evidence is there, it's unlikely they will

    Social Anxiety

    Rose_Queen replied to Blessed RN2B's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you are concerned social anxiety is going to interfere with success in nursing, perhaps you should look into professional help. Needing professional help is not a weakness and is often the best way...

    Which social platform are nurses using most?

    Rose_Queen replied to JanineKelbach's topic in General Nursing

    I thought the same thing. Facebook is for keeping up with family and friends who aren't local. AN for nursing related content, as well as the message board of my specialty

    Requirements to become a surgical NP

    Rose_Queen replied to Reaz's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Whether an NP can work in the OR will depend on hiring practices. In my facility, many of the independent surgeon practices do hire NPs who function in the role of the first assistant during surgery....

    Do all states / schools require CNA to train for RN??

    Trump's 'religious conscience'

    It would appear you have a misunderstanding of free speech. The only guarantee is that the government will not interfere. A private organization, such as this site, are not required to do

    failed the nclex, have a residency program lined up, help!

    Rose_Queen replied to mina_003's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    You're going to have to tell them. Some programs will hold the position, others won't. You won't know until you call them. But trying to hide it won't do you any

    Who Knew 48 hours were that DREADFUL

    Could be worse. Before NCLEX, the wait was 6 weeks. Technology has improved wait times as it

    Rose_Queen replied to curiousgrl's topic in Operating Room

    The scenario you're talking about sounds like a very critical patient, in which case, yes, multiple units could be going in at the same time. In this patient population, it is not at all uncommon to...

    Student Not Eligible for NCLEX

    Rose_Queen replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    It's not just accreditation the schools have to worry about. A low NCLEX pass rate will result in the program being placed on probation by the state BON. If they don't improve, the BON will revoke...

    RN license expires 6 months after issue?

    Rose_Queen replied to SarahRN717's topic in General Nursing

    Many states have a system where licenses all expire on a certain date. In my state, it's either April 30th or October 31st and is determined by your date of birth. Which also determines if you expire...

    Capscare Academy anyone?

    Rose_Queen replied to Newbeginnings2018's topic in School, College Programs

    Approval and accreditation are 2 separate things. Approved means the BON will allow students to sit for NCLEX. Accreditation means the program has taken the extra, voluntary steps to demonstrate that...
