    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

    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...

    There are times it's appropriate to ask questions. There are times it is 100% INappropriate to ask questions. Sadly, too many students do not understand this. And quite frankly, as an OR nurse, my...

    Periop 101 Final Exam Advice? (2018 / 2017?)

    Rose_Queen replied to N urse's topic in Operating Room

    Just remember, like NCLEX, the final is "perfect world". It's not necessarily about how your facility sees things but how AORN sees things. Personally, I would think the best study options would be...

    HIPAA scapegoat

    Rose_Queen replied to inthealpine's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    Why wouldn't this cost of living hack work for California?

    Rose_Queen replied to myoglobin's topic in General Nursing

    To be honest, this fixation on Hawaii and earning huge amounts of money seems a bit like an unhealthy obsession to me. It doesn't matter where you live- if you don't fix what's wrong, you will never...
