    I think I'm getting kicked out of my program ... help

    Rose_Queen replied to mariawong's topic in General Students

    Not disrespectful but a dose of reality and good advice. If one is wallowing in misery, one cannot move forward. A better use of time would be creating a plan. I had had the opportunity to listen to...

    Workplace violence and hazards

    Rose_Queen replied to mackjohnson1234's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    You can find multiple news stories about shootings and other attacks in health care settings- there's one involving an IV pole that comes to mind. A research project is going to involve researching...

    Straight to BSN or RN to BSN to save money?

    Rose_Queen replied to rachellynneee21's topic in General Students

    Getting it all done in one shot is easier- how many people say "I'll go back to school" but then life interferes? Additional consideration- what is the job market in your area? Are there jobs for...

    Overtime d/t short staffed

    Rose_Queen replied to nursing4321's topic in General Nursing

    In addition to the BON, just google mandatory overtime law for your state- you may find that your state has legislation on the books. Mine does. Source: Forced Overtime and Mandatory Overtime |...

    Rose_Queen replied to mariawong's topic in General Students

    In addition to the above, also sit down and try to figure out why it was that you failed. Were your study methods effective for you? Everyone learns differently, so if you are someone who learns best...

    NCLEX

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

    The only indication of this is that the computer determined with 95% confidence that you would either pass or fail the exam regardless of the number of remaining questions you answered. The number of...

    Licensure by endorsement or go to Florida to test?

    Rose_Queen replied to cnsrn1's topic in Nursing Career

    Not true. My school was close to the border of my state and the state to the south. Many graduates applied directly to the state to the south for licensure. There is absolutely zero requirement to...

    Since this forum isn't particular to a certain school, you may need to provide more information if you wish to receive responses. Then again, identifying your school does remove a layer of anonymity....

    Endoscopy Nursing as a New grad

    Rose_Queen replied to NCMurse1313's topic in Gastroenterology

    I'll be honest and say that a procedural area isn't going to be much help in gaining a foundation for ICU nursing or providing you with skills. In endoscopy, you may work with patients before, during,...

    Allnurses needs nurses

    OR nurse schedule

    Rose_Queen replied to Noelle394's topic in Operating Room

    These are questions you'll need to ask at an interview or when applying for jobs as each facility is going to vary. Not only can length of shift vary but also what shifts are staffed- a trauma center...

    Transferring to another state

    Rose_Queen replied to nursestudent15's topic in General Nursing

    NCLEX is a national exam. It does not matter where you take it. What you need to decide is to which state you will apply for licensure. That will determine where you can receive a license, not where...

    Foley catheter tray placement?

    Rose_Queen replied to BekahDavis's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I have never used a separate table for a foley insertion in the OR, nor was I taught to in nursing school. Our foley trays are put together by the manufacturer in a way that trying to set up on a...

    New nurse needing advise!

    Rose_Queen replied to adr60763's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    In this day and age, it is very unlikely to be compensated for NCLEX or licensure fees beyond continued employment (if the facility still hires GNs- a disappearing breed) or a job offer (because many...

    Has anyone been kicked out of nursing school after the FIRST semester?

    DIRECTOR OF NURSING

    Rose_Queen replied to Nishstar1's topic in Operating Room

    Have you gone to the staff to see what they need? It sounds like you've got a lot of new staff- that may be part of the issue in that they are still trying to learn their jobs. Are you coming out with...

    Which one calls to you more? I'll be honest and tell you to forget Magnet status vs. not Magnet status. It's a marketing gimmick and doesn't actually mean anything for the nursing staff. They both...
