    Legal Name vs. Preferred Name

    Rose_Queen replied to SunshineNRainbows's topic in Texas Nursing

    There is no reason that I know of for not being able to go by your middle name, provided that you sign all documentation with your legal name. I am frequently referred to by my middle name as I share...

    Don't do the physicians work!

    Rose_Queen replied to ModernRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Verbal orders in certain situations are allowed. The physician must co-sign the order in my facility, within 24 hours. The facility is indeed accredited by the Joint Commission, so clearly there is an...

    Don't do the physicians work!

    Rose_Queen replied to ModernRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    No, waiting for a physician to put in an order on a patient who is crumping is putting patient safety in danger. I take verbal orders all the time because expecting a surgeon to drop scrub and put...

    PACU visitation & policies

    Rose_Queen replied to FJW&ADP's topic in PACU

    Are you a PACU nurse? I'm going to guess not. Patients coming out of anesthesia are at a high risk for airway issues- a bay with 3 walls and a door that can close is going to hamper a nurse's ability...

    Why wasn't I placed in the ED?

    Rose_Queen replied to shan_elle's topic in Emergency

    No, just no. You are paying tuition for an education to prepare you to practice as a novice nurse. You will still receive that education regardless of what unit you are placed on. Just because you...

    Unacceptable Abbreviations

    Rose_Queen replied to Barmherzigkeit's topic in General Students

    I'd say that physician computerized order entry has pretty much eliminated abbreviations altogether. Maybe they're spoiled in my facility, but they have order sets for a lot of things where they...

    Would you expose yourself to C-Diff?

    Rose_Queen replied to MA Nurse's topic in General Nursing

    Just something to keep in mind about all of those patients in isolation when they're in the hospital: when they are discharged, they aren't in isolation at home, at the grocery store, sitting next to...

    Procedure Error: How Bad Is It?

    Rose_Queen replied to wanna_be's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    It is not the responsibility of anyone but the provider to get informed consent. When anyone is witnessing a consent, all they are witnessing is the signature. However, it is the responsibility of...

    Nursing school questions about having a "disability"

    Rose_Queen replied to AlexandraTurner10111's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    Have you discussed this with your care provider? Unfortunately, a 10lb lifting restriction is going to be pretty hard to work around- many jobs require the ability to lift or pull more than

    Pay grades for different units??

    Rose_Queen replied to MarySnov's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    In my facility, the pay scales are identical for every RN, regardless of where the RN works. However, there are other ways to increase income: procedural areas that include call coverage, units that...

    Rose_Queen replied to maeeam19's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    You could apply for licensure in another state, but it is also possible that IL will not endorse your license because you did not meet their requirements. It may be that you can't afford not to take...

    Ring removal

    Rose_Queen replied to ohiobobcat's topic in School

    Dental floss? I'd think that would be too thin. This OR nurse swears by umbilical tapes. Then again, you don't have those in a school setting. And having anesthesia on board tends to make the patient...

    Well, first it would help to know what RCC stands for. There may be multiple schools that could go by that abbreviation. Additionally, you could get better and more accurate information by contacting...

    Even the Stoic Have a Breaking Point

    The day started out normally enough: come into work, get my assignment, and start preparing my OR. I didn't need to move in right away; while we normally move patients into the OR around 0700, my...

    Nursing and the Sabbath

    I would recommend speaking with your religious leaders. Many religions have exemptions about working on holy days for staff in areas like healthcare where it simply isn't possible to close up

    Pros and cons to nursing in the state where you live

    Rose_Queen replied to Bduncan008's topic in General Nursing

    I would think that the employer is going to influence the pros and cons much more than the state will. However, you will find that a lot of people aren't willing to reveal that kind of information...
