    Open visitation in the ICU

    Rose_Queen replied to Mini2544's topic in Critical Care

    Almost 24/7 open visitation. Only exception is 0700-0800 and 1800-2000 for bedside report and patient quiet time. No children under 12. Exceptions to both rules made for end of life situations and the...

    Job abandonment

    Rose_Queen replied to Kjh1990's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Job abandonment is different than patient abandonment. Walking out when on the clock without the approval of whoever is in charge of allowing staff to leave essentially means you've quit without...

    Help getting in OR

    Rose_Queen replied to inspired78's topic in Operating Room

    I don't think that's the type of advice the OP was looking for... OP, what does your employment record look like with your employer? Do you have disciplinary actions on file? Have your reviews been...

    OR scrubs and where do you put your junk

    Rose_Queen replied to stech04's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    This would actually go against the standards of the OR. Bags from "outside" should not be brought into the environment. Does it happen? Yes (and anesthesia is the worst of the offenders), but it...

    SHHHHH, dont tell anyone I'm a RN

    Rose_Queen replied to Barbie8808's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    There are states where that happens? Mine requires all payment at time of application for licensure in order for the ATT to be sent, and then automatically issued the license upon passing

    SHHHHH, dont tell anyone I'm a RN

    Rose_Queen replied to Barbie8808's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    OP,just because the advice isn't what you want to hear doesn't mean that it's words of discouragement. Many posters have been in the scenario you find yourself in, or are hiring managers who will see...

    SHHHHH, dont tell anyone I'm a RN

    Rose_Queen replied to Barbie8808's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I think you misunderstood my post. I was referencing the nurse working in the role of a CNA, in which case no, they are not working outside of their scope. A license holder is a license holder...

    SHHHHH, dont tell anyone I'm a RN

    Rose_Queen replied to Barbie8808's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Your nursing program is incorrect. Everything that is within the scope of a CNA is within the scope of an RN. It is simply those tasks that can be delegated. It can, however, lead to issues with job...

    Blood Transfusion

    It would appear that OP is from Nepal based on posting history. Perhaps it is a cultural thing rather than an evidence based thing? Or a mistranslation and the question truly is asking about a...

    Perioperative Nurse

    Rose_Queen replied to JustMakingIt's topic in Nursing Career

    You may find that there are facilities with a well-established and thorough education plan that doesn't actually refer to itself as a residency- my facility doesn't. Instead, look for OR positions and...

    Eating the patients' food?

    Rose_Queen replied to blackmamba123's topic in General Nursing

    I've been known to raid the surgeon's lounge when working on call. On call means no meal break. If I finish one emergency and have 2 minutes before the next one is rolling up from the ER or down from...

    Long hair at the bedside

    Rose_Queen replied to kakamegamama's topic in General Nursing

    GI lab procedures do not require hats. Yes, she may not be part of the actual procedure staffing, but that doesn't negate the fact that the dress code likely addresses hair and that it has to be up or...

    Rose_Queen replied to cjohnMEDIC's topic in General Nursing

    Most states do not offer this option. Additionally, should you choose to go to CA to test, it is unlikely that you would be able to endorse the license to another state- many require for licensure...

    Surgeon for an instructor

    Rose_Queen replied to Beldar_the_Cenobite's topic in General Students

    Absolutely nothing wrong with a surgeon, a nurse, or anyone else who is qualified teaching a non-nursing course. Your initial post makes it sound as though the surgeon is teaching a nursing course....
