    Any truth to this story?

    Well, if they're citing a spokesperson from the hospital and the district attorney's office, it's likely true. Despicable

    Rose_Queen replied to chris5720's topic in General Nursing

    Had it happen in my OR. Almost completely destroyed the department. They decided to cut back on supplies kept in the building- had a patient on the table, opened the only arterial graft in the size...

    ASL Interpeters allowed at clinicals per the ADA?

    Of course they're going to tell you that. They're the ones who want the money. But medical interpreting is way different than performing a nursing assessment. That can't be

    ASL Interpeters allowed at clinicals per the ADA?

    Rose_Queen replied to Natiel's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    I'm not sure that would fly as a reasonable accommodation. You've got HIPAA issues to worry about, expect an employer to pay the salary of 2 people for the job of 1, and then there's the issue of...

    Hospitals Firing Seasoned Nurses: Nurses FIGHT Back!

    The big difference with Canada is that the BScN is required to become licensed now. The US has no such requirement, so people are still attending ADN and diploma programs and not always researching...

    ECMO: Most Advanced ICU Technology?

    Rose_Queen replied to CVVH's topic in Critical Care

    I would think not really. It's rather similar to the concept of cardiopulmonary bypass machines that have been around since the advent of cardiac surgery. It's just smaller, portable, and outside the...

    But one is then arrested, which would fall under the policy of consented, warrant, or under arrest. Huge difference. The patient here was not under arrest, the police did not have a warrant, and the...

    New graduate OR nurse... what supplies should I get?

    Rose_Queen replied to lmedina07's topic in Operating Room

    Other than a pair of OR dedicated shoes, none. Your scrubs should be provided by the facility. I doubt you'll have much need for a stethoscope. Maybe pens (if you don't already have a stash), a lock...
