    Nursing Schools

    Rose_Queen replied to Nurse Rodriguez's topic in New Jersey Nursing

    What you are going to find is that there are no schools that are going to be 100% online. You will need to complete clinicals. There may be some hybrid programs where the classroom portion can be...

    Have you or anyone you know ever sued for not having a lunch break?

    Rose_Queen replied to YoutubeTheNP's topic in General Nursing

    Most states don't specify that workers have to take lunch, only that they must be paid for the time if they don't get one. It's not a federal requirement and less than half of states require it....

    Is it a bad idea to go to nursing school right now? (No more shortage)

    Rose_Queen replied to Skippy97's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Technically correct, but in some areas, not having one means the applicant won't even be considered for

    ALS and ATLS, both needed for CCU nurse?

    Rose_Queen replied to jake5497's topic in Critical Care

    I would expect that any critical unit is going to require ACLS (assuming that's what you meant by ALS). I can only imagine that only units accepting trauma patients would require ATLS. My facility has...

    Is Priority Qs the New Trend this year 2017?

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

    Here's the thing about those alternate format questions: the number of them/the number of a specific type doesn't mean anything. Questions of all types, including those alternate format ones, are...

    Is it ok to take Verbal Chemo Orders

    Rose_Queen replied to monalunaxo's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Verbal by phone = telephone order. That's a whole different category where I work. Again, not specific to chemo, but for telephone orders, the nurse taking it is to remain on the phone with the...

    Is it ok to take Verbal Chemo Orders

    Rose_Queen replied to monalunaxo's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I don't know of anything specific to chemo, but I know that my facility has a policy banning verbal orders except for in emergent situations and from a surgeon who is scrubbed in. If it's a verbal...

    Going for ADN but have BA in different field

    Rose_Queen replied to mariah25's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The BA is not likely to make a difference at all, unfortunately. Depending on the program, you may be able to roll right into an RN-to-BSN program. Have you researched the job market in your area to...

    Which is why it's a potential ethical issue for tanypne involved in the organ procurement to be involved in pronouncement. Not only does my facility require a physician outside of the surgical team be...

    Need help!!!!! Dosage calculations

    Rose_Queen replied to Bonzie's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Simply providing the answer does not help the asker learn how to understand and work through these types of problems. Doing so is actually a disservice to the asker and the patient population he or...

    help a new scrub nurse

    Rose_Queen replied to JadeRN7's topic in Ob/Gyn

    The person who offered it hasn't logged into the site in 7 years, so I doubt it. However, have you reached out to your coworkers if you're one who is learning to scrub c sections? You may find that...

    Revoking Your Own License: How to Remove Your Name from the Board of Nursing

    Rose_Queen replied to purplegal's topic in General Nursing

    That license number doesn't necessarily even get involved when some people go hunting. There is so much that is considered public record- I can look up my old neighbors' foreclosure. I know exactly...

    Need help!!!!! Dosage calculations

    Rose_Queen replied to Bonzie's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Well, no. You're trying to cram way too much into that equation. You need to break it down into steps and what information goes into those steps. Step 1: Minimum therapeutic dose (this is where that...

    Shift Types

    Rose_Queen replied to 1969's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    This is going to be specific to the facility, so you're going to need to ask the details of someone in HR. However, here's how it is where I work. 32 hours would be considered a 0.8 FTE. My facility...

    Need school advice from actual nurses

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

    A lot of employers don't care about that nonnursing degree when applying for a nursing position. What they do care about is that BSN. Some facilities will offer a small differential for having it,...

    Revoking Your Own License: How to Remove Your Name from the Board of Nursing

    Rose_Queen replied to purplegal's topic in General Nursing

    In order to no longer be held to the standards of a nursing license, one simply needs to cease holding that license. It could be via voluntary surrender (not wise, because it's next to impossible to...

    Department info for a future nurse!

    Rose_Queen replied to Stethosoph's topic in General Nursing

    Quoting this just because it's so true. I went into school thinking I wanted to do peds or L&D. Guess which rotations ended up being my least favorite? It wasn't until my very last semester...

    Can a family sue a cna?

    Rose_Queen replied to Chibiabbi's topic in General Nursing

    The family can sue whoever they want. What matters is whether they actually file and whether you actually stay named in the suit. However, TOS does not allow us to give legal advice, so you should...

    A place that is not going to provide any orientation ("thrown in" someone to help if needed?) is a huge red flag. This is not a job I would
