    Mandated to Work Surgery With 1 Day Orientation

    Rose_Queen replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    It would depend on what types of cases they would expect you to do when at the hospital. It is not at all uncommon for patients having the exact same types of surgery that happen at an ASC to have...

    is it possible that CST's will one day be licensed

    Rose_Queen replied to shall0829's topic in General Nursing

    There is at least one state that already licenses CSTs. I don't see it becoming a 4 year degree (heck, nursing doesn't even require a 4 year degree to become licensed!). Check out AST.org and see if...

    It sounds like you would perhaps benefit from speaking with a therapist. The loss of a grandparent is hard; it can only be more so when that grandparent filled the parent role as

    Perioperative Nursing vs Cardiac Telemetry

    Rose_Queen replied to Rob Feature's topic in General Nursing

    Depends on the facility, but in most the base salary is going to be the same. Others may pay more because OR nurses can be hard to find. However, with on call and call back, you will get paid a lot...

    When is it appropriate to wear scrubs?

    Rose_Queen replied to drd18's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I'm not clinical and wear scrubs. I'm still an RN and even occasionally end up working in an OR, particularly in emergent situations. Also much faster if I'm already in scrubs than to have me scramble...

    Those through a natural orifice, like a cysto or tonsillectomy- we use a band as well. I've seen other facilities that have a human body image on the back of the surgical consent that is used. As for...

    Rose_Queen replied to Bxrpup2113's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    You still have a lot of identifying information in your post. If your attorney cannot tell you what to do, then you need another attorney- that's why you need someone familiar with nursing

    We cannot offer legal advice. You need to work with an attorney, preferably one who is familiar with nursing licensure. TAANA.org is a good resource to locate such an

    Can you take a nursing program in one state and apply for a license in a different one?

    Rose_Queen replied to W090800's topic in General Students

    You apply to the state where you want to work. It is not a requirement to be licensed in the state where you attended school. Otherwise, my program near the state line wouldn't have had all those...

    You could apply for licensure in CO even when you don't live there- it wouldn't be a compact license because your legal residence isn't there, but it would allow you to work in CO. The key is whether...
