    Question about ACEN Accreditation Status

    Rose_Queen replied to EmmaLizzy's topic in General Nursing

    It means the school is noncompliant in 1-2 areas of evaluation, has been informed and told to fix it, and may have those issues addressed in a follow up visit. The school associated with my hospital...

    Licensure by endorsement or go to Florida to test?

    Rose_Queen replied to cnsrn1's topic in Nursing Career

    Your instructor is misinformed. Sad that those doing the educating don't even know the basic information about the test they are preparing their students to

    Licensure by endorsement or go to Florida to test?

    Rose_Queen replied to cnsrn1's topic in Nursing Career

    You don't need to fly to Florida to take NCLEX- you can take it where you are now as it's a national exam. What matters is to which BON you apply for licensure. If you have no intention of working in...

    Rate my professor?

    Rose_Queen replied to Anaya96's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    In addition to what jess.mont said, you also need to understand that people are much more likely to complain than they are to compliment. Those who are satisfied with their professor vs. those who are...

    HIPAA and Ca BRN

    Rose_Queen replied to iluvivt's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    What is a "very minor HIPAA violation"? Either way, HIPAA violations are dealt with by the Office of Civil Rights. What is determined by the OCR may indeed affect a license as criminal complaints can...

    History/Purpose of Hesi?

    Rose_Queen replied to eschellle5757's topic in HESI Entrance, Exit Exam

    Considering how many are applying to nursing school vs how many open seats there are, the schools had to find a way to sort out applicants. This was one of them, and isn't much different than...

    Future plans versus the unexpected future

    Rose_Queen replied to BlueHearts53's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Life is what happens when you're making plans. I'm currently in the process of possibly leaving direct patient care. It's not something I had planned on doing for several more years, but my work...

    Why cant I transfer from one nursing program into another?

    Rose_Queen replied to preparing4thefuture's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Yes, the NCLEX is the same. However, while the state BON sets the requirements for what specific curriculum must be covered and the number of clinical hours that must occur, each school can distribute...

    Required to take the NCLEX within 2 years?

    Rose_Queen replied to honeybee_23's topic in General Students

    Yes, OP, you will need to research the specifics for the state in which you wish to apply for licensure as they are all different. My state recently changed the rules that the first attempt must occur...

    Will I get kicked out of nursing school?

    Rose_Queen replied to Happymango's topic in General Students

    I would be very prepared to speak with your instructor or anyone else who may be meeting with you. Know what you did wrong (giving a med drawn up by someone else) and have a plan to prevent it from...

    Local Anesthesia guidelines

    Rose_Queen replied to becca65233's topic in General Nursing

    Are you asking with specifics to the OR? In mine, all locals are supposed to be ASA I. None of the OR nurses are required to have ACLS. If there is a nurse free, he or she will be responsible solely...

    Registration to FSCJ LPN Program Being Held Up

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

    Your best bet is to contact the school. It is unlikely that anyone here works for the school to answer your questions. Beyond that, all anyone can do is guess, and that's not going to be

    Circulator Presence on Induction?

    Rose_Queen replied to Dielsh's topic in Operating Room

    I would never leave an anesthesia provider and an anesthesia tech as the only staff in the room. That's not safe. Have I needed to run out at times? Yes, but there are other people in the room to help...

    Where to give away my books?

    Rose_Queen replied to DegreeCollector's topic in General Students

    Why not see if you can post it on a bulletin board at your school? There's probably students in earlier classes who would jump at the

    Interested in OR nursing

    Rose_Queen replied to RN2k18's topic in Operating Room

    This is something that will be very dependent on the facility. My facility is about 50/50 staffing mix with RNs and STs, with a smattering of RNFAs and CFAs. Very rarely do RNs scrub, unless they are...

    On call

    Rose_Queen replied to RNGIF's topic in Texas Nursing

    This is something you need to ask the manager of the OR where you were offered a position. However, generally "on call" means a set time where you must be available to report to work if needed. Many...

    Advice on where to go from med-surg?

    Rose_Queen replied to danedsel's topic in General Nursing

    I think you need to stick with a job. There is a huge reality shock when transitioning from nursing student to licensed nurse, and many feel overwhelmed and like they want to quit. But the thing is,...

    Med Surg vs OR as a New Grad, HELP!

    Rose_Queen replied to elina1992's topic in Operating Room

    Many opinions can be seen about new grads and med surg. I am of the opinion that if someone had a preferred specialty and is offered a position in that specialty, they should go for it. As for OR...

    Witnessing Consent

    Rose_Queen replied to Apples&Oranges's topic in General Nursing

    Our consents can be witnessed by anyone- the MA in the surgeon's office is the one who witnesses for patients being admitted from home. Do I need to be there when the surgeon obtains consent? I don't...

    Be glad it wasn't my best friend in middle school! She mixed everything on the tray into one glob of mush and ate it- napkin, milk carton, and all. At least your student's meal was intended for...

    Getting into the OR

    Rose_Queen replied to lisabasilern's topic in Operating Room

    I would keep an eye out around the time that nursing schools graduate. Because the OR is such a different environment than anything students are exposed to in school, the orientation (new grad or...

    Rose_Queen replied to Leonardo Del Toro's topic in General Nursing

    But think of the sudden decline in absenteeism! No more people calling off for their shifts! Happy employees! And happy employees are productive
