    Orientation

    Rose_Queen replied to Sassy-RN's topic in Operating Room Newbies's Newbies

    For where I am, it varies based on which location a new hire is assigned to. Some locations are a single specialty and receive 12 weeks of orientation. Those that cover multiple specialties receive a...

    LIES About LPN's and LVN's

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

    We don't know the reasoning behind why someone wouldn't take the exam. However, the OP isn't the first to complete a program and not go on to the exam and licensure. There are indeed no benefits to...

    LIES About LPN's and LVN's

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

    Many utilize the LPN as a stepping stone to becoming an RN, much like there are many who start out in health care as a CNA and then move on to nursing school. It is not a step within a single program-...

    Is $85k worth it for BSN program with no guarantee acceptance?

    Rose_Queen replied to nhayes1984's topic in General Students

    A longer pathway with less expenses can still be the way to go. When you are in NP school are you going to want to be carrying a full class load while also working full time or more to pay on that...

    LIES About LPN's and LVN's

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

    There are entry level BSN programs. I attended one. There was no need for me to have an RN license at all to attend. Most likely, the poster above completed an LPN program, received a license, and...

    Nurse Charged With Homicide

    Rose_Queen replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    I think the nurse made egregious errors that go well beyond a systems issue. There are indeed systems issues as well, but she bears the brunt of the responsibility here for not acting as a prudent...

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

    Rose_Queen replied to msesay91's topic in Operating Room

    First of all, please know that OR nursing comes with an incredibly steep learning curve- this is an area you likely got very little (if any) exposure to during nursing school. Generally speaking, it's...

    "LPNs are glorified CNAs"

    Rose_Queen replied to nursetnc's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    There is much about healthcare professions that laypeople don't understand. This isn't something you should let bother you- fight the big battles instead. Had this been your manager or someone up the...

    Older Doctor doesn't think nurses should be in charge

    Rose_Queen replied to angeloublue22's topic in General Nursing

    Are you even a nurse, let alone a CRNA? You clearly do not understand basic principles of nursing licensure and the role of the health care team. Yes, a nurse can independently provide NURSING care-...

    Older Doctor doesn't think nurses should be in charge

    Rose_Queen replied to angeloublue22's topic in General Nursing

    No. There is so much wrong with this statement. The only person who ever works under a license is the person named on it. Period, end of story. Nurses work under their own nursing license. Students...

    Leaving Nursing Program

    Rose_Queen replied to Wiggly Litchi's topic in General Students

    Typically nursing classes will not transfer, and are even less likely to do so from one state to another as state BON requirements may be different. Prerequisites, if the school is regionally...

    Are there any real nurses on this site?

    Rose_Queen replied to Bronx6's topic in Psychiatric

    What kind of question? If you are seeking advice related to your own condition or the condition of someone you know, those need to be referred to your/their health care provider. If it's about...

    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

    What would you be going back to college for? Many schools aren't even going to admit someone for a degree they already have. If you have the degree and are qualified to sit for NCLEX, sit for NCLEX....

    Math Question Help

    Rose_Queen replied to Eithanhunt's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Ok, let's start with the dose. What information do you need to determine your dose? It is orders in milligrams per square meters. What would you use to find the number of square meters? Then you will...

    Incorrect counts at shift change

    Rose_Queen replied to lisa203's topic in Operating Room

    What does the count policy for your workplace state? That is what you will be held to. If the surgeons are not following the policy, then it is up to you to follow the policy or escalate up your chain...

    Incorrect counts at shift change

    Rose_Queen replied to lisa203's topic in Operating Room

    Why are so many others in the room opening things? If you are the circulator, that is your room. If someone needs something, you should be opening it. If it is an urgent situation and someone else...

    Terminated

    Rose_Queen replied to yournurse's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    Slander would require that what is said is untrue. Therefore, this would not meet the definition of slander. At best, it's unprofessional to state that someone was terminated. At worst, it may be a...

    Why red seal broken with coude cath?

    Rose_Queen replied to Nurseali24's topic in General Nursing

    I was just coming here to say that we do indeed have coude kits in my facility. Of course, both our regular foley kits and coude kits only come in one size, so if we need a cath that is larger or...

    Choosing an Operating Room Specialty

    Rose_Queen replied to ORJulez's topic in Operating Room

    I take it the facility you work in segregates teams and members almost exclusively work in that specialty? I'm fortunate enough to work in a facility that while your supervisor may have been the...

    Child Abuse

    Rose_Queen replied to cjl_RN's topic in School

    What are the mandated reporter laws in your state? Mine is pretty clear that teachers are indeed mandated reporters. If so, then the teacher needs to be making the report. However, you may be wise to...

    Am I the *******?

    Rose_Queen replied to Seeing Myself Out's topic in General Nursing

    That is not at all what I get from the response, and your reaction certainly seems quite out of proportion. You don't like nursing, yet you keep coming back to it. Sometimes, a little clarity with the...
