    BSN requirement question

    Rose_Queen replied to Oxygenforeverybody's topic in Washington Nursing

    It is not the BON requiring the BSN, but rather the employers. Magnet has jumped on the IOM report that recommended 80% of nurses have a BSN by 2020 and made it a new requirement. In areas where new...

    Is the any FNP schools that do clinical hours after the program?

    Rose_Queen replied to trutuyu's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Many state BONs require nursing school clinicals to be concurrent with the classroom portion. In those states, I would expect the requirement would also be true of NP programs. I don't think what you...

    nursing conflict managment

    Rose_Queen replied to forever15's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    You have two threads going with scenarios such as this, both posted in the student forums. This leads me to believe this is homework, most likely for a leadership class. Expectations of students...

    Really need your input!

    Rose_Queen replied to Junebug59's topic in Operating Room

    Her pay that she negotiated when accepting really doesn't have much to do with her performance- that will be taken care of during performance evaluation. Also, if it's a known IT issue that logging...

    Senior Preceptorship in Pediatric PACU

    Rose_Queen replied to meganec17's topic in PACU

    I did my senior practicum in the PACU of a hospital. During that time, I had the opportunity to follow a patient from admission to discharge. I can't imagine that you wouldn't also have that...

    Seeking Guidance

    Rose_Queen replied to Raquel.Perez's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Take the job, work it for at least one year to get experience. Your other option is to hold out and possibly not get that NICU position- then you become a stale nurse without

    Scrubs and infection control

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

    There's also no guarantee that the person wearing scrubs even works in health care. Also, here's the thing: those people in isolation in the hospital are out there in the general public without those...

    Really need your input!

    Rose_Queen replied to Junebug59's topic in Operating Room

    Agree. Yes, it's miserable that someone "new" makes more than you- but if she has about the same amount of experience, then she likely negotiated that pay. Sadly, it seems that in order to get a...

    Rose_Queen replied to guest12/17/17's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    So essentially you are looking for someone who has a history of two distinct professions? If you want to expand your search you'd probably need to pick one career or the other. That's not the most...

    Resume question about pre-nursing exp.

    Rose_Queen replied to bclark297's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Clinicals in school? They should only be on a new grad resume. If you mean CNA or LPN, then it simply needs to be listed in the previous employment

    Schools grading scale

    Rose_Queen replied to Ibyn26's topic in General Students

    That is the nature of adult learning. You will not be spoonfed information- you have textbooks and other resources to rely on. There is simply no way to cover all of the information that needs to be...

    Rose_Queen replied to DNLIVORSI's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    There are many sources you can use to find nursing programs: your state BON should have a list of approved programs, and ACEN and CCNE have search pages to find accredited programs. From those lists,...

    Any Tips on preparing CNOR exam?

    Rose_Queen replied to didadi_826's topic in Operating Room

    Back in my day.... Just kidding. But honestly, just skim over the highlighted sections of the guidelines. There's so much "this research said and that research said" in the text. Hit the highlights...

    Evening shift in the OR?

    Rose_Queen replied to annacs's topic in Operating Room

    It's really going to depend on the type of facility. My hospital has surgeon block time until 5:30pm, and routinely will grant permission to schedule cases that run later than that. It's not uncommon...

    Failed Clinical because of paperwork

    Rose_Queen replied to greg1993's topic in General Students

    Well, many schools grade the clinical portion as pass/fail. A pass in the clinical portion is required to move on to the next class, regardless of the grade in the classroom portion. Now, that leads...
