    Doctors Say the Darnedest Things

    Rose_Queen replied to allnurses's topic in General Nursing

    Surgeon: "I told 10 people exactly what I wanted! Why don't you have any of this?" Me: "Because of those 10 people" (yeah right, 10, sure, I believe you), "not a single one of them is in this room....

    Help please

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

    Don't official results take 48 hours? You've still got time to wait. Instead of fretting over the exam, why not go do something you haven't had time for? Read a book for fun. Spend a day at the spa....

    Advancement as an OR nurse

    Rose_Queen replied to forestgreen123's topic in Operating Room

    There's RNFA (can be combined with NP or just as a standalone), educator, management. NPs can work in the OR as a first assistant, but it may depend on the facility. CRNAs are advanced practice nurses...

    can someone help me find answers

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

    No. You can get the question right but it must be written above the passing standard. Questions can be written below passing standard. This would be completely irrelevant because, as mentioned...

    Are you relying solely on indeed? I would suggest going directly to the websites of facilities instead. Not all will utilize indeed- mine flat out refuses to. Plus, you're likely to find more...

    Regional vs National Accreditation

    Rose_Queen replied to shanaynay0's topic in General Nursing

    What are the organizations that have given accreditation? If you are looking for an accredited nursing program, you want to look for ACEN or CCNE accreditation- those are the two bodies that accredit...

    Item for nursing school

    Rose_Queen replied to NursetoNP23's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Agree with the first part of your post, but disagree with this. I'd bet that if facility policies are checked, facility owned devices must be used for vitals. After all, how can a facility verify that...

    We need Biology 101 before A P 201 right?

    Rose_Queen replied to Paging Stacy's topic in General Students

    Yes, schools have different prereqs and course numbers for various courses. The best place to get accurate information is from someone at your school who is in the know, such as your academic

    Periop course money back

    Rose_Queen replied to Nicole3d's topic in Operating Room

    Well, this sounds like a matter between you and your employer, not you and AORN. However, I would not expect to get any money back- you did receive the course, after all. Personally, I'd never work...

    Did I do the right thing??

    Rose_Queen replied to Loxam10's topic in Operating Room

    You never should have been put in that position, and I can't believe your management agreed to allow the surgeon to continue with a contaminated setup on an elective case where the patient was stable....

    Pop-off sutures

    Rose_Queen replied to learningnurse's topic in Operating Room

    All that a pop off means is that the needle is designed to release from the suture very easily. It's a surgeon preference- those pop offs come in a variety of different types of sutures. If you want...

    Any tips on how to protect your self in a clinic?

    Rose_Queen replied to Life22feb's topic in General Nursing

    Practice within your scope and as a prudent nurse should. It is actually very difficult to have an action taken against a nursing license- if you read the updates as for why a license is disciplined,...

    MMJ, they do have an unaccredited ASN program that is approved by the FL BON. Pass rates are pretty abysmal though.

    Dry, cracked and bleeding skin on my fingers

    Rose_Queen replied to KsoontobeLNA's topic in General Students

    Is it safe to assume you're a student since this is in the student forum? If so, I would ask your instructor- the clinical site may have policies in place. Don't forget to look into prevention- invest...

    Rose_Queen replied to MoserK's topic in General Nursing

    You're going to find a multitude of opinions on that. I'm of the opinion that med/surg is a specialty in its own right. If new grads have the opportunity to work in the specialty of their choice, then...

    Undercover nurse

    Transferring? Moving?

    It is extremely unlikely nursing courses from one school will transfer to another school. The reason being that the BON sets what curriculum must be covered while allowing schools to distribute that...
