    Teaching paediatric resuscitation to nurses

    Rose_Queen replied to Lisa1973's topic in General Nursing

    Are you in the US? Your spelling of paediatric says not likely. However, you can always look at AHA recommendations or whatever organization develops the CPR recommendations in your

    National Normal Saline Shortage

    Rose_Queen replied to displacedyankeeRN's topic in Infusion, Intravenous

    That's the verdict from my hospital's pharmacy as well. They've also extended the length of time a bag of fluids can hang, meds in mini bags will be hung as the primary with a saline syringe flush...

    Licensing

    Rose_Queen replied to Haemke's topic in Nursing Career

    If you will not be working in NY, it doesn't make much sense to apply for a license in MY only to turn around and pay to have it endorsed to another state. Since the move is already planned for so...

    Rose_Queen replied to Uni_523's topic in New York Nursing

    Did you report the exposure per the protocol at your facility? They have ways to work through these situations to determine who needs

    LVN License renewal held for insufficient CE?

    Rose_Queen replied to Virtual's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    If you did not meet the requirements for renewal, your license will not be active. However, it does state in the CA BVN that CEs are not required for the first renewal. Did you ensure you checked off...

    What should I have done about super low O2 levels?

    Rose_Queen replied to BookishBelle's topic in General Students

    Very much not true for all patients. There are many COPDers who will routinely function at O2 sats as low as 85%. That is their norm and trying to fix it will not

    Do all nurses make fatal mistakes?

    Rose_Queen replied to justtryintonurse's topic in General Nursing

    I've been in nursing for well over a decade now with no fatal mistakes. Seeing as I've moved on from the bedside role, I'd say it's not that likely to happen in the future. Med errors? Yes. Other...

    Fired from my first RN job after only 2 weeks.

    Rose_Queen replied to Mountainrnbsn's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Your nurse manager is incorrect. The only person who is working under a license is the person whose name is on the license. Students do not operate under the license of their instructor. Orientees do...

    My dream is coming true!!!

    Rose_Queen replied to OksanaBSN's topic in Operating Room

    At my facility, nurses only circulate as we have a very large percentage of surgical techs on staff. The rare exceptions are nurses who previously were surgical techs, have experience from other...

    My dream is coming true!!!

    Rose_Queen replied to OksanaBSN's topic in Operating Room

    Incorrect. One must have 2,400 hours AND 2 years experience as an RN before even becoming eligible to register for the exam. If this is something your employer told you, that sends a big red flag. If...

    Cheating

    Remember too that cheaters get their just rewards. You can't cheat on NCLEX, and if someone tries, they may find themselves facing the reality of not being granted a

    Hand Sanitizer

    Rose_Queen replied to marsbar37's topic in General Nursing

    Is this for work? If so, see your occupational health nurse. If you are unable to use what the employer provides, then they should provide something that you can use as a substitute. There is an issue...

    Operating Room question

    Rose_Queen replied to jaweirdo's topic in Operating Room

    The CNOR exam requires two years of perioperative nursing experience, with at least 2,400 hours. If you are working full time, you will easily meet that. The challenge would be with the areas of OR...

    Question about history of blood clot and fourth pregnancy

    Rose_Queen replied to Snowchild's topic in Ob/Gyn

    As her provider is the one who knows her medical history best, he or she is the best to seek clarification from. Another option would be for your sister to seek a second opinion. Best wishes for your...

    Pros and Cons - Nurse Educator
