    Do I need to change name on license?

    Could my Nursing Union Help me?

    Rose_Queen replied to NurseNinja1990's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not reading that as changing FTEs. I read that as working with the employee as to regular days off for class or allowing for a different shift if needed. Also, every effort doesn't entail simply...

    Moving down in the world

    Rose_Queen replied to garciadiego's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Does your state allow those who haven't completed an LPN program to sit for NCLEX-PN? You might want to double check that before you make any decisions. I know that my state doesn't let anyone sit for...

    Cath lab ridiculous call time

    Rose_Queen replied to Wolf at the Door's topic in General Nursing

    Don't expect to get away from call in a trauma OR position. As for the pager, I would expect that most facilities do it the way mine does- the pager is a secondary method of contact; the phone is the...

    For a compact license, the license must be in the state where your legal residence is. If you currently live in AZ, your license is good in any compact state- for as long as you live in AZ. If you...

    Why are ADN programs fading.

    Rose_Queen replied to katie2017's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The best way to start finding programs would be to find the list of approved programs from your state BON. Narrow it down to those in your area. From there, visit the webpage of each school. Key words...

    Rose_Queen replied to Beldar_the_Cenobite's topic in General Students

    One of the principles of adult learning is that learners do a lot of learning on their own. The instructor is more of a facilitator. Something you're going to need to adjust to. Also, please describe...

    Rose_Queen replied to brindlenurse's topic in Operating Room
