    ARE MOST RN SCHOOLS LIKE THIS??

    Rose_Queen replied to Anon143's topic in School, College Programs

    Many schools consider 75% failing. The fact that they offer tutoring rather than leaving students to flounder is actually better than

    The Nursing School to Welfare Pipeline

    Rose_Queen replied to panurse9999's topic in General Nursing

    I just went through OP's post history. Until this past Tuesday, they hadn't posted since 2010. And OP had the same problems with not being able to find a job in 2010. Clearly, OP has no desire to work...

    The Nursing School to Welfare Pipeline

    Rose_Queen replied to panurse9999's topic in General Nursing

    It's not just nursing that has to contend with transferring licenses. Doctors, lawyers, the list goes on. Heck, in my state electricians, plumbers, and any other number of trade professions must have...

    The Nursing School to Welfare Pipeline

    Rose_Queen replied to panurse9999's topic in General Nursing

    If not even 1 had a job upon graduation, then it's not just the market. What's going on with the school? Poor reputation? Low NCLEX pass rates? There are programs out there that produce unemployable...

    C'Mon Now!

    Rose_Queen replied to OyWithThePoodles's topic in School

    Actually, there is something called an interval appendectomy where a patient can be treated medically and have the appendix removed a few days later, usually as an outpatient procedure. And there are...

    Rose_Queen replied to panurse9999's topic in General Nursing

    The point of a discussion is to bring many viewpoints to the table. It does not mean everyone has to agree. Your experience is your experience and no one can deny it. However, that doesn’t mean your...

    In a perfect world, how would YOU like to see nursing education improved?

    Rose_Queen replied to WestCoastSunRN's topic in General Nursing

    And yet, nursing has become so specialized. It is simply impossible to teach the skills that one would need upon graduation for all of those specialties. It would be darn near impossible to give even...

    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...

    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

    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...

    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...

    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
