    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...

    Hardship: none of my business or a problem?

    Rose_Queen replied to Beldar_the_Cenobite's topic in General Nursing

    Except you've already been told you cannot park there unless you are working. You are setting yourself up to not only lose your job but also to possibly face criminal charges of trespassing, have your...

    Blood transfusion and Normal saline bag.

    To be fair, you may need your WD40 for your cardiac patient portrayed by Jack Haley, especially before his, er, heart transplant that was performed somewhere over the

    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...

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

    Rose_Queen replied to msesay91's topic in Operating Room

    Alexander's is considered the "bible" if you will of OR nursing. If OP is going to spend money out of their pocket, it would be best to go for it instead. Additionally, it is possible that OP's...

    Nurse dies after assault at job. She finished her shift first.

    Rose_Queen replied to missmollie's topic in Nursing News

    Same link- Article was updated recently to say that the coroner has indeed ruled it a homicide with the injury being the cause of the PE. Sad all around and not something we should be

    RN school while in High School?

    Rose_Queen replied to AFJ32780's topic in General Nursing

    Graduate as "certified registered nurses"? In addition to the concerns of time for clinical and under 18 in clinical, my bet would be this is actually CNA and some reporter is messed up on...

    What is One of the Most Memorable Moments in Your Nursing Career?

    Rose_Queen replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

    Keeping in mind I work in the OR, where we're supposed to fix what's wrong. Worst: My first OR patient death. Middle aged MVA, minivan vs semi. That wasn't the worst part. The worst part was not being...

    Being bullied at work

    Rose_Queen replied to Mariah2019's topic in General Nursing

    You forgot crusty. OP, reading your post here, I can definitely pick up on your attitude towards them. That means most likely they've picked up that attitude because it's probably just as open in...

    Tennessee Nurse RaDonda Vaught - Legal Perspectives of Fatal Medication Error

    Rose_Queen replied to Lorie Brown RN, MN, JD's topic in General Nursing

    Safety measures are only good as long as they are used. RV blew through multiple safety measures that had been implemented and should have had her thinking. What more could have been added that she...

    Are there any hospitals that will pay for nursing school?

    Rose_Queen replied to Daniellednm's topic in General Nursing

    Look into tuition reimbursement. Typically you must have worked for the organization for a set amount of time before becoming eligible, you must maintain a certain FTE while in school, you must pay...

    Nurse Charged With Homicide

    Rose_Queen replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    I’m in the US and there are no drugs I need a second person to remove from the dispenser. I would need a witness for drawing up insulin, but that’s it. And I routinely have pulled high dose...

    Nurse Charged With Homicide

    Rose_Queen replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    Charged means she'll get her day in court. The poll didn't say convicted. The CMS report certainly does not shine a favorable light on her nursing practice. I don't care how short staffed or...

    PACU or Acute/Progressive Trauma Floor as a new grad?

    Rose_Queen replied to stephpdx's topic in Nursing Career

    If your goal is ICU, the acute/progressive floor is probably the better bet. In most PACU settings, ICU patients will bypass the PACU and instead go directly to the ICU. Additionally, I find it...

    Yes, they have a system where they can register a case cart to a specific patient. Each instrument set is then scanned onto the case cart. The system also tracks the location of everything- when a...

    Should I feel bad for not picking up extra shifts?

    Rose_Queen replied to nursekaterpn's topic in General Nursing

    Interesting. In my experience the probationary period has never been longer than the orientation phase, and usually actually ends prior to the orientation

    Should I feel bad for not picking up extra shifts?

    Rose_Queen replied to nursekaterpn's topic in General Nursing

    Typically, if one is still on probation, one is still also on orientation. Orientees shouldn't be picking up extra shifts because they aren't even deemed fully competent to come off orientation yet....
