    Unimpressed and confused

    Rose_Queen replied to Polly Peptide's topic in General Students

    First, a disclaimer- as you are still a student, you should not be using RN in your username per the TOS of the site. Had you added 2B or something similar at the end, you would be fine. Second, as to...

    Experience before Travel Nursing?

    Rose_Queen replied to spasta's topic in General Nursing

    Especially because chances are, you aren't going to get feedback as a traveler. Half the staff just can't be bothered because they know you're only there for 13 weeks. Instead of confronting it, they...

    Nurse Gives Lethal Dose of Vecuronium Instead of Versed

    Rose_Queen replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    While I believe that in many cases, the system is the issue, there is just so much wrong here on the individual level. V-E oh I'll grab that med. There was no adherence to the standard nursing...

    Send video tape to state boards

    Rose_Queen replied to Curious1234's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Yes, videoing a patient yelling for help and not assisting the patient immediately seems a bit negligent

    Report own med errors to FL BON?

    Rose_Queen replied to NursieA's topic in Florida Nursing

    If the BON required all nursing medication errors to be reported, they would never be able to do anything. I highly doubt that unless the med error led to serious harm or death that it needs to be...

    Exciting Changes Coming To allnurses

    Rose_Queen replied to Joe V's topic in News, Announcements

    I do have one thing that I'd love to see change: if a new response is added to a poll post, it will show up as unread replies in the what's new search. However, it takes the reader to the last post of...

    RN, ADN being obsolete

    Much like the rest of the country, you can't gneeralize your experience to the entire state. My facility is currently offering both a referral bonus (for current employees who refer a candidate who is...

    Covering unexpected on-call shifts

    Rose_Queen replied to Daytoe's topic in General Specialties

    I'm OR, but we have the same scenarios. We first look for volunteers by posting it on our huddle board. If no one volunteers, then yes, someone is mandated. There is a rotating list for who is...

    Lost 15 yrs of Senority by changing departments

    Rose_Queen replied to Daytoe's topic in General Nursing

    I would check the policy as to what seniority you keep. In mine, length of service with the facility means some things but other things (like vacation requests during summer months) is based on unit...

    Forced to Chart using another employee name

    Rose_Queen replied to Lvn31's topic in General Nursing

    Falsification of a medical record. It is not the MA who is documenting. A disclaimer that so-and-so is documenting doesn't prove much beyond someone typing that line. What is done under a login is the...

    documenting lot numbers

    Rose_Queen replied to susansew's topic in Operating Room

    You would need to check your facility policy. If it is purely for irrigation, we do not document it. If, however, it is used in conjunction with an implant in any way (rinsing, reconstituting, etc),...
