    Taking manual bp on forearm

    Rose_Queen replied to Jen Cole's topic in General Students

    Seeing as this is in the student forum, it's reasonable to assume OP is a student and not a nurse. OP, best practice would be to obtain a larger cuff and get the BP on the upper arm. However, think...

    Circulating RNs with ACLS

    Rose_Queen replied to puroticorico's topic in Operating Room

    Only our anesthesia providers and cardiac team (because they transport from ICU preop without anesthesia or the ICU nurse) are required to maintain ACLS. Nurses who had it previously from another role...

    I failed the FL NCLEX for the 2nd time!!

    Rose_Queen replied to ineedachange1's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    As mentioned above, where you take the exam is irrelevant- it’s NCLEX in all 50 states, territories, and international testing centers. What would serve you best is utilizing your candidate...

    Should I divorce my husband

    "What I Really Do" meme

    Secretly breaking contract

    Rose_Queen replied to lorias's topic in General Students

    It's not that no one can see the other side. However, what many of us see is a potential act. Until the day she decides to break the contract (and by planning to pay the reimbursement, she is planning...

    New to EPIC charting in Main OR

    Rose_Queen replied to MiahScrub1998's topic in Operating Room

    And that speaks to the customization! We have a site completion section to document dressings and a lines/drains/assessments section of our own to document anything that was placed (foley, invasive...

    New to EPIC charting in Main OR

    Rose_Queen replied to MiahScrub1998's topic in Operating Room

    Facilities can do a good bit of customizing, so it would be best to reach out to your designated "super user" or IS training team for the specifics of your facility. Not familiar with Cerner, but when...

    How would Medicare for all affect nursing?

    Rose_Queen replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Would it truly be that much different than the treatment of those with insurance vs. those without insurance? Those without insurance tend to get treated differently because they end up waiting until...

    Tips for handling the stress of on-call

    Rose_Queen replied to RNable's topic in Operating Room

    I downloaded a very loud, very annoying ringtone that I set for only the facility. There was absolutely no way to sleep through it- think tornado siren. The neighbors always knew when I got called in...

    Question for the night shift OR nurses

    Rose_Queen replied to dRummiN_KS's topic in Operating Room

    I'm in a level 2 trauma facility. We have one team staffed on night shift with 2 calls teams expected to be in the OR ready to accept a patient within 30 minutes of when they pick up their phone. We...

    Who Did NOT Do a Year of Med Surg?

    Rose_Queen replied to Satori77's topic in General Nursing

    Med surg will be of assistance in WIS. Those patients may indeed have the conditions that you would see in med surg. As for the OR, no, med surg won't transfer much. It's a completely different...

    How would Medicare for all affect nursing?

    And your employer is also free to change your benefits whether you like it or not. You may like your coverage now, but next open enrollment for insurance may be totally

    Hardship: none of my business or a problem?

    Actually, this isn’t a new topic for OP at all. There was a rather long thread over on the break room side a while back....

    Hardship: none of my business or a problem?

    Rose_Queen replied to Beldar_the_Cenobite's topic in General Nursing

    You are fixating on the wrong things. No one owes you anything. This includes an employer. Right to work doesn’t mean you can’t be fired. Just because there isn’t a specific policy doesn’t...

    Wrong heparin route???

    Rose_Queen replied to Helena Dior's topic in General Nursing

    Did you contact your charge nurse/manager and the physician? This is not a question that you should be asking here but rather that needs addressed

    Is it impossible to get in OR or what?

    Rose_Queen replied to bryan_del's topic in Operating Room

    LA is one of the competitive markets due to oversaturation of nurses. If you are not having success getting into the OR in LA, you may need to consider relocating to an area where there isn't such a...

    Capscare Academy anyone?

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

    It doesn't matter one iota where the exam is taken. It is a national exam. What matters is the state where you apply for licensure. I could live in Georgia, apply for a license in Mississippi, and...

    Blood transfusion and Normal saline bag.

    Rose_Queen replied to Nursing Au's topic in Infusion, Intravenous

    In other words, you're avoiding the question. The way you are posting is not the way to generate worthwhile interaction, as your multitude of threads should have demonstrated to you

    New OR nurse... how can I get through this?

    Rose_Queen replied to msesay91's topic in Operating Room

    100% facility dependent. Some may offer a differential, some may offer nothing at all, some may make it a part of a larger incentive. My facility grants access to the highest level of the clinical...
