    I'm having surgery and I have some questions!!

    Rose_Queen replied to Tammy121's topic in Operating Room

    We don't scrub in the OR (only in preop and as I stated previously the person doing the CHG scrub in preop only needs to expose the area being worked on at that time) and Chloraprep doesn't require a...

    I'm having surgery and I have some questions!!

    Rose_Queen replied to Tammy121's topic in Operating Room

    A. This thread is 7 years old B. That's not how it is at all facilities, and i would certainly hope none. There is no reason for a patient to be naked for vein mapping- all that needs uncovered is the...

    StressedNewlyqualified nurse career advice

    Rose_Queen replied to Newlyqualnurse's topic in United Kingdom

    OP, are you in the US? I'm guessing not based on "final year of adult nursing" "ward" and some other terminology. It would help get responses best suited to your situation if we knew where you were....

    Getting Sick as a Nurse

    Rose_Queen replied to EdwardE's topic in General Nursing

    I wouldn't be surprised if the majority of calling out sick was really more vacation request was denied and mental health needs. Vacation denial seems to be common in units dealing with short...

    talking to the cops about my patient

    Rose_Queen replied to LibraNurse27's topic in General Nursing

    Refer to your facility's policy, but typically a drug test can only be admissible in a court of law if there was a warrant/consent and the proper chain of custody is followed. Only those things that...

    Urine/blood splash in eye

    Rose_Queen replied to Nrs2355's topic in General Nursing

    Your employer should have a policy and procedure to follow in the event of an exposure. Following that offers many protections for you that failing to report negates. For instance, a negative history...

    Abusive and Cruel Clinical Instructors: Why??

    Rose_Queen replied to sallber's topic in General Students

    No. This is a common misperception that needs to just go away already. The only person who works under a license is the person named on it. A student does not work under the license of the instructor;...

    Iv antibiotic running as primary?

    Rose_Queen replied to SquatsNScrubs's topic in General Nursing

    Due to the recent IV fluid shortage, we switched to all meds as primary if no maitenance fluids are ordered. The 13mL left in the tubing is solved by connecting a 20mL flush syringe as a piggyback...

    gauze left intentionally during surgery?

    Rose_Queen replied to remotefuse's topic in General Nursing

    Sometimes it's simply impossible to find a missing needle that is smaller than an eyelash- we don't even x-ray for needles that are a 7-0 or smaller as they can't even be seen on an x-ray. Other...

    Student loans

    Rose_Queen replied to kljolly15's topic in General Nursing

    Consolidate the loans that you have defaulted on. You'll be required to sign up for an income-based repayment plan, unless you make 3 consecutive, voluntary, and on time payments. Loan rehabilitation,...

    Do you recover c-sections under general?

    Rose_Queen replied to Pipsy's topic in PACU

    All of our c-sections are done by the OR staff and recovered in PACU, whether general or not. L&D attempted to take over circulating the c-sections (which occur in the OR and not L&D) and it...

    'My Patient died' Facebook post

    Rose_Queen replied to miladaniels's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    When it's out there on social media, it can be viewed publicly if settings are not tight enough. The employers aren't out to get anyone, and in fact the vast majority of people who post...

    No pediatric course or clinical rotation

    Rose_Queen replied to healthxo33's topic in School, College Programs

    I just pulled up the sample course layout on their site. There's a class called Nursing Care of Families that likely incorporates both maternity and pediatrics. That's how my BSN program did it- we...

    'My Patient died' Facebook post

    Rose_Queen replied to miladaniels's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    A) Best not to post about work at all on social media B) Unless that person learned about someone being hospitalized through a job at a covered entity, no. The general public is not held to the...

    Torn between two specialities for preceptorship.

    Rose_Queen replied to taylor925's topic in General Students

    Well, first of all, are you guaranteed a spot in either of those specialties for your practicum? My school had us list our top 3 choices; only 2 were in L&D and 5 in peds. It has a lot to do with...

    Rose_Queen replied to wahwahwahwahwah's topic in General Nursing

    Is it possible? Yes. Can you chang specialties later? Yes, but you'll need to work at it. I have worked with new grads in the OR who have later transferred to inpatient nursing units including ICU....
