    Pregnant & starting nursing school

    Rose_Queen replied to lacemcc's topic in General Students

    That's a very personal decision that only you can make. One thing to consider is that you will likely not be able to miss any clinical or only a tiny portion of clinical- the BON requires students to...

    Silly question.. stethoscope color for school?

    Rose_Queen replied to BellemRN2b's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Are you a student? If so, check if your school has requirements. As for eye color, nobody is going to notice. And one final thought: if you are a student and do not hold an RN license, then you are in...

    Personal leave of absence?

    Rose_Queen replied to remotefuse's topic in General Nursing

    Unless you are referring to the number of hours the employee has "banked", this is untrue. All FMLA does is state that the employee must have a job (not necessarily the job they had when they went on...

    What computer system do you use in the OR?

    Rose_Queen replied to ShannonRN2010's topic in Operating Room

    Many of the posters in this thread haven't logged into the site in several years. You would be better served starting your own thread explaining your concerns. Due to privacy concerns (many posters...

    DON in LTC Missouri rules

    Rose_Queen replied to imjstme's topic in Nursing Career

    That would be up to the discretion of whoever it is you report to, most likely. However, you may find that administrative duties require you to be available later than 2pm. I know that in my job,...

    Another 'is it worth it' question for RNs

    Rose_Queen replied to solDanz's topic in General Nursing

    Is it that they really want to get away from patient care at the bedside, or is it that they want to get away from poor management and far too high of a workload? I know I'm leaving the bedside to get...

    Student nurse dismayed by bedside nursing attitude

    Rose_Queen replied to new gal's topic in General Students

    The poster you were quoting was referring to volunteering, which yes, is going to be a lot less stressful than a nursing

    LPN being forced to introduce self to pt's as a CNA

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

    Oh, where to start. There is so much wrong in this post. Anyone who has the qualifications or above the qualifications can be hired into a position if the facility is willing to do so. A facility can...

    Improve the care I give.

    Rose_Queen replied to puckrj's topic in General Nursing

    Dismiss, as in request someone else? Trust me, that's not punishment, it's a reward. You cannot please everyone- that's just part of being

    Tips on makeup during clinicals?

    Rose_Queen replied to Pacific Nurse's topic in General Students

    Ignore the encouragement of wearing makeup if it's not something you really want to do. I never wore makeup as a student, and I don't wear makeup working as an RN. An instructor that says what you...

    LVN to RN

    Rose_Queen replied to Taylobra's topic in LPN to RN

    Please be aware that Achieve Test Prep doesn't issue degrees. It is a test prep company that offers exams that some schools will accept as credit for completing a course. I've never heard of...

    Employee help...services?

    Rose_Queen replied to brai9284's topic in General Nursing

    Check with your employer- they may already have something set up. I had a coworker who went from working in the morning to vented in the ICU by evening. The facility had a fund set up as well as hours...

    Does your facility teach new grad RN's to scrub?

    Rose_Queen replied to chief76's topic in Operating Room

    My facility is very reliant on surgical technologists. In fact, over 50% of our intraop staff is STs. We are affiliated with a school that has an ST program. I know that AORN pushes for a 70%/30%...

    Best Work Experience for MSN Ed?

    Rose_Queen replied to Myprettykitty's topic in General Nursing

    Having worked only in the OR, I realized the low likelihood of teaching in an academic setting but still set out to get my MSN ed to teach students. However, I also noticed that when I would complete...

    LPN wanting to work in the OR

    Rose_Queen replied to cnigro's topic in Canada

    By BC, do you mean British Columbia? It's quite likely different in Canada than in the US, where an LPN would be working in a role similar to the surgical

    An enquiry on the duration of a degree programme in nursing in the U.S.A

    Rose_Queen replied to ndifon clive's topic in General Students

    That would depend on the type of program. Nurses can enter the field with a diploma, associates, bachelors, or masters degree. Then there's also the consideration of the requirements to apply to a...

    Does the NCLEX have trick questions like in nursing school exams?

    Rose_Queen replied to LotusPetals82's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    If you slow down and read each question carefully and make sure you know what the question is asking before you select an answer, then you will be fine. I've caught myself doing it with practice...

    What else can pre-op do?

    Rose_Queen replied to momathoner09's topic in Operating Room

    Pretty much no other experience is going to count for OR, other than the fact that you aren't a new grad and have an employment history. The OR is such a different world even compared to other...

    What's 'General Specialties'?

    It's basically a forum for those specialties that don't really fit under any of the other forums. From the

    Im injection

    Rose_Queen replied to sandyarya.16's topic in General Nursing

    Please give further information, as I asked above. This is not a question and answer site; it is a discussion site for nurses and those who are seeking to become one. If you are a patient, again, you...

    Im injection

    Rose_Queen replied to sandyarya.16's topic in General Nursing

    Have you had an IM injection where you are experiencing issues? If so, this is a question that needs to be addressed by your healthcare provider as they can appropriately assess. Per TOS, we also...

    ACEN vs CCNE

    Rose_Queen replied to Mbow's topic in General Nursing

    Not that I'm aware of. Both are national accrediting bodies for nursing
