    Newbie Nurse wanting to be an OR nurse

    Rose_Queen replied to romahito.senshi's topic in Operating Room

    Part of the path you take may also depend on the requirements of the country where you work- your use of the term ward makes me think it's possible you aren't in the US. Have you looked into the...

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

    What does the job market look like in your area? Will you take any job to be working or hold out for one in acute care? Are employers looking for those nurses who already have a BSN? It would behoove...

    OR NP

    Rose_Queen replied to NonaManado's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    NPs can function in the role of a first assistant in the OR. However, their duties also frequently include rounding on patients, seeing patients in the office, and other actions that would fall under...

    HIPPA

    Rose_Queen replied to Chubbard3547's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    Well, it would seem best practice would be to have the patient go somewhere private. As for it being a HIPAA violation, I'll leave that to someone more knowledgeable than I. Additionally, if you are...

    Texas to California License

    Rose_Queen replied to meganm1996's topic in First Year After Licensure

    You can take the NCLEX anywhere it is offered. What matters is where you apply for licensure. If you are definitely planning to work and live in CA, it wouldn't make much sense to apply for licensure...

    The dreaded wait. WWYD?

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

    Did you send a thank you after the interview? That would be a good step. Other than that, be patient. If you haven't heard anything in a week (maybe 2) and all of your references are completed, check...

    new nurse feeling totally incompetent?

    Rose_Queen replied to sstei5988's topic in General Nursing

    First, take a deep breath and stop beating yourself up. Second, think about what you learned from the experience- to contact someone right away, right? And that's what you'll do the next time, right?...

    Following a nurse during clinicals :(

    Rose_Queen replied to Turtlepower's topic in General Students

    You do realize you pay money to the school to teach you, and not to the bedside nurse, yes? It is also quite possible that the nurse who had the patient you were assigned to already had far too much...

    Rose_Queen replied to cjprenurse's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Have you taken a learning styles inventory? If you are not a Read/Write type of learner, rewriting your notes is not going to help you as that's just not the way you learn. If PrepU is not like your...

    New Nurse ICU Math Help!

    Rose_Queen replied to PsychNurse2be's topic in Patient Medications

    Are you sure the order in the computer doesn't include exactly what goes in the pump? My facility's pharmacy enters the order in the MAR with all information right there- and it's on the label printed...

    Looking for a comprehensive list of hospital units

    Rose_Queen replied to Sunnysandy's topic in Nursing Career

    There isn't really a set list of hospital units beyond what you've already listed. Some hospitals may have enough beds that they have floors dedicated solely to one patient population, such as urology...

    Cardiac Step Down- ACLS Required for RN's?

    Rose_Queen replied to NurseFidg's topic in CCU, Coronary, Cardiac

    LPN OR BSN

    Rose_Queen replied to Zelda30's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It all depends on your goal. If your ultimate goal is RN and you can afford to wait- it's only one semester. Most likely the LPN program would be longer than a single semester, so you'd actually be...

    Rose_Queen replied to msannaa7711's topic in General Nursing

    It's going to depend on what your facility's policy is for not being available when on call. In my facility, there is no consideration for reason (with the exception of the nurse on call being the...
