    OR Nurse Communication with Patients and Team

    Rose_Queen replied to amusa's topic in Operating Room

    Exactly. And if everyone is saying things the exact same way, it's going to backfire because it's going to sound like a script and not at all

    Two Jobs in the OR. Is It Possible?

    Rose_Queen replied to SweetSouthernLove's topic in Operating Room

    How long have you been working in the OR? If it's less than a year, I would not recommend another job. The reason is that it takes at least a year to be fully competent in the OR. Additionally, I...

    TEAS :(

    Rose_Queen replied to Alinajaparov's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    Not only are there a lot of threads about the TEAS, there's actually an entire forum dedicated to it. I've asked to have your thread moved there for more relevant responses, but you'll likely find...

    Honestly, just sit back and watch others every now and then. Take what they use that you like and use it yourself. It will

    Too much facebook

    Rose_Queen replied to orangelate's topic in General Nursing

    Management is aware. Let them deal with it. You are not privy to what is happening behind the scenes- it is quite possible that management is creating the paper trail necessary to deal with the issue....

    Compensation for BSN?

    Rose_Queen replied to SweetSouthernLove's topic in General Nursing

    My hospital does not differentiate between degrees for RNs beyond the fact that as of 1/1/18, you must have a BSN to be hired and as of 12/31/19, those already employed who do not have one will no...

    Nursing is not what it is made out to be..

    Rose_Queen replied to ModernRN's topic in General Nursing

    Perhaps to you, but please do not generalize that to all nurses. I do not feel called to be a nurse. It is something that I am interested in and provides a decent steady

    Drowning New Grad RN Resident

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

    Take a deep breath. What you are going through is perfectly normal. Nursing school is totally different from real world nursing, so you are experiencing a bit of reality shock, and most (if not all)...

    Low Census

    Rose_Queen replied to allstressedout1's topic in General Nursing

    It's not by state. It's by facility. I'm non union but there is a facility about an hour away that

    ADN vs BSN for nursing?

    Rose_Queen replied to Soul7's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I suggest researching the job market in your area. Do job postings state BSN preferred or required? If so, you may want to consider the BSN route. You may not graduate debt free, but you may have an...

    getting rid of your PRN shifts?

    Rose_Queen replied to Irini20's topic in General Nursing

    Check your resignation policy. It should tell you how much notice is required to resign on good terms. Mine is 4 weeks. There is plenty of time for those shifts to be

    RNFA or CSFA in the OR

    Rose_Queen replied to staceyp413's topic in Operating Room

    Well, they first assist. They can do more than the scrub person who is in the "assist" role when the surgeon doesn't have a PA or NP for the case, such as place the tricked on a robotic case, fire...

    Reading recent posts; Is it THAT easy to lose your job/license/get reported ?

    Rose_Queen replied to DahliaDaisy's topic in General Nursing

    There is so much misinformation out there about losing a license. Many BONs will post an online update/newsletter, and it frequently will include actions taken against licenses. Sit down and read...

    Is this a binding contract?

    Can I work as a CNA after I pass the NCLEX-PN in New Jersey

    Rose_Queen replied to jcox0989's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Have you contacted the BON? There may be some fine points to consider here: will the job title be CNA or LPN? All duties performed by a CNA are within the scope of an LPN as well. The sticky point...

    New graduate (with experience) hoping to get into OR nursing - need advice!

    Rose_Queen replied to breebree177's topic in Operating Room

    If you want to be an OR nurse and most nurses are expected to have the perioperative course, you're going to need to take the perioperative course. You do not have experience- without the nursing...

    My School Status

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

    Many schools, if not all, are going to require students to be in good standing not only to graduate but to register for the next semester's classes. That is going to include full payment. They told...

    How many weeks are clinicals usually

    Rose_Queen replied to Enoch82's topic in School, College Programs

    You'd likely be better waiting until January. It's not just the wedding and honeymoon, but how much time is all the preparation going to leave you to focus on school? And many schools also state that...

    How does your unit do vacations?

    Rose_Queen replied to brwneyegrl46's topic in General Nursing

    Wow, HR said you can't go by seniority? Isn't that something better left up to individual units to decide? Each unit in my facility has its own staffing bylaws. In my department, all requests other...

    Rose_Queen replied to MHF0808's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Unfortunately, you're now seeing the reality of what is a glut of inexperienced nurses rather than the highly touted nursing shortage. You are now a stale newish grad- you don't have relevant nursing...

    Well, earlier was a blend of blue and pink (light purple) so that's close enough right? And I'm now in my PJs, which is a pink top and pink and blue plaid

    Have you been in the same job for the three years? It may not be that you want to leave nursing but that you want to leave that particular job/nursing specialty. Nursing has a lot of options-...
