    Instrument sets documentation

    Sitting down - New nurse looking for advice

    Rose_Queen replied to MgoBlue37's topic in General Nursing

    Nurse educators need to have the experience to know what they’re educating about. Definitely not a job for someone with less than at least 5 years in that

    Rose_Queen replied to Grad 2020's topic in General Students

    My facility does require vaccine proof. Additionally, they notify us if it's been 10 years since last TdaP and we either can get it for free from employee health or need to provide

    Sitting down - New nurse looking for advice

    Rose_Queen replied to MgoBlue37's topic in General Nursing

    Small surgical center doesn't necessarily mean ability to sit. They tend to have the short, fast cases and it's go go go get 'em in get 'em out from one patient to the next. Also, in my experience,...

    License in two states?

    Rose_Queen replied to melissamae002's topic in General Nursing

    In order to have a compact license, you must reside in a compact state. Otherwise, that license is good only for that specific state. As long as your license in MN is still active, you will be able to...

    Do you think interviews for nursing school can lead to discrimination?

    Rose_Queen replied to SilverNova's topic in General Students

    That would not meet the legal definition of discrimination. And all of those "high GPA, high test scores, and significant work experience" don't guarantee success in nursing school. An interview as...

    Do you think interviews for nursing school can lead to discrimination?

    Rose_Queen replied to SilverNova's topic in General Students

    The fact that you attend a community college may actually be the exact reason you see your student population vs the other schools. Community colleges have a tendency to be a bit less expensive and...

    Rose_Queen replied to carti's topic in General Students

    Put a foley where now? Sounds like someone needs an anatomy refresher. But seriously, your attitude shows through very clearly here. Should you graduate and become licensed, you would be extremely...

    Do you think interviews for nursing school can lead to discrimination?

    Rose_Queen replied to SilverNova's topic in General Students

    Interviews are used to help determine the best candidate for a job; why shouldn't they be a tool to help determine a candidate for school? Many different types of programs do indeed involve an...

    Question about manual irrigation for 3 way foley!!

    Rose_Queen replied to Race881's topic in General Nursing

    A three-way foley refers to one that allows irrigation. A temperature sensing foley is not the same as a three-way. Three-way foleys allow continuous bladder irrigation and can often be seen after...

    Rose_Queen replied to carti's topic in General Students

    I Hope This is Not the Latest Trend

    Is it unprofessional to inform my boss of my pregnancy over the phone?

    Rose_Queen replied to limonada's topic in General Nursing

    Should I try to earn my RN license or go back to college?

    Rose_Queen replied to Divine-LPN,BSN's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Your MSN to be an educator or professor is going to require that RN license to go with it- if only to just even get into the program. Also, forget about getting tenure without a doctorate. And to be a...
