    Can Nurse Assistant Managers and Nurse Managers work 3 days?

    Rose_Queen replied to PrincessAlexis's topic in General Nursing

    Probably not. In my facility, most of the managers put in well over 40 hours per week. Some are not that great at maintaining a great work-life balance. But how is it possible to get to all of the...

    ENT perioperative RN vs L&D OR RN

    Rose_Queen replied to ColdHandsWarmHeart's topic in Operating Room

    I don't have any experience where I've only worked in 1 specific specialty like that, but I've asked to have your post moved to the OR forum so that those who are better in the know can

    Does it matter what state you take the NCLEX?

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

    You don't "select" CA as your licensure state when you take the NCLEX; you must first apply for licensure with the BRN of CA. Once the BRN confirms that you have met their requirements to be eligible...

    Ask an OR nurse (Questions about what we do or how to become one of us)

    Rose_Queen replied to Rose_Queen's topic in Operating Room

    This can depend on the facility and how it chooses to structure its staffing. In mine, the only segregated specialty is cardiac. While the other OR staff may report to the neuro specialty line...

    Long Term Care Nursing is Lame

    Rose_Queen replied to purplegal's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Thank you, Here.I.Stand! So many misconceptions about those who are in LTC facilities. My family did our best to keep my grandparents in their home for as long as possible. When it was just Grandma...

    Demoted on 2 week notice?!

    Rose_Queen replied to kmolleson's topic in General Nursing

    The fact that they were willing to continue your employment as a CNA is more than they needed to do. In some facilities, giving notice during orientation leads to pretty much instant termination of...

    Do nursing schools really try to "weed" you out?

    Rose_Queen replied to Bella1846's topic in Florida Nursing

    Schools don't need to try to weed people out. Those people do it themselves- they either don't grasp concepts of following policies (including dress code) or don't take things seriously and fail or...

    Does it matter what state you take the NCLEX?

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

    OP's license will only be a TX license if OP applies for licensure in TX. OP could apply for licensure by examination in CA or CT if there is no desire to work in TX and skip the endorsement step....

    Does it matter what state you take the NCLEX?

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

    You can take the NCLEX in any approved testing center. You can also choose to apply for your initial licensure in a state other than the one you currently live in. There is no need for you to become...

    Need advice from OR/Cath RNs

    Rose_Queen replied to JustCheckin''s topic in Operating Room

    These are all going to be very facility dependent. My facility pays $2/hour when on call. Another facility in the neighboring county pays $10.87/hr when on call. My facility has a 30 minute response...

    Student wanting clarification on CPR in ED

    Rose_Queen replied to mshull's topic in Emergency

    Chances are, you're going to get that patient intubated PDQ if they weren't intubated in the field, and then it's just compressions and breaths with the Ambu bag attached to the ETT. Once the patient...

    Religious accommodation means no Saturdays....ever?

    BSN Nurse supervising MSN nurses

    Rose_Queen replied to Neats's topic in Nurse Management

    Are the MSN nurses working in the role of an RN license? If so, then there's absolutely no reason they should be acting the way they are. Are the MSN nurses advanced practice? If so, they can be...

    Just because it is readily washable cloth doesn't mean it gets washed. I know for a fact that I worked with many OR people who would wear and rewear their hats for months between

    Just because it's 3-5 minutes from you doesn't mean that it made the most sense to send you there. There may be students who were 45 minutes from there who for them made it a shorter trip to go there....
