    Diuretics in Pulmonary Oedema

    Rose_Queen replied to Sjade's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Other than a bolus of fluid to compensate for a low BP, what are other options? What is the risk of not giving the diuretic compared to giving it to improve the pulmonary

    Do nurses have to work from home?

    Rose_Queen replied to lilythorburn's topic in General Nursing

    My facility doesn't even allow employees to check email from home because it's considered working and thus requires being paid. Have I occasionally had to call the nurse I relieved when they're...

    chamberlain school of nursing

    Rose_Queen replied to monica2017's topic in School, College Programs

    I am not in that area, so I don't know. But you will run into the same issue of having to start at the beginning regardless of what school you choose. You may need to see what you can do about...

    chamberlain school of nursing

    Rose_Queen replied to monica2017's topic in School, College Programs

    Nursing courses are pretty much guaranteed not to transfer from one school to another. While the BON sets what the curriculum must include, schools are able to create their own courses. They are not...

    NO MORE SNOW DAYS!!!

    Rose_Queen replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    You have my sympathies. I hope your wine stock is filled. I will be getting a snow day tomorrow. That is unheard of in acute care, and I have never had one before. We canceled every single elective...

    What was your worst shift ever?

    Rose_Queen replied to Isakolistic's topic in General Nursing

    Well, I only had 1 patient at a time, but my shift lasted about 26 hours. Started my regularly scheduled shift, stayed late to finish a later scheduled surgery, got to the locker room, and got paged...

    TX BSN graduate moving to GA

    Rose_Queen replied to lvn2bsn2018's topic in General Nursing

    Do you have any intention of working in TX? If not, then skip getting a TX license at all. Go to the GA BON website and look for the application for licensure by examination. If you will be working in...

    Controlled Drug Vials in Pyxis

    Rose_Queen replied to filovirus's topic in Patient Medications

    Ours are placed in the drawers in clear plastic ziplock bags. Each bag has 10 vials with a seal on the bag itself. Only 1 bag is supposed to be opened at a time. Instead of having to count vials, we...

    Sick from roof leaks and water damage at nursing home?

    Rose_Queen replied to HappyCNA's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    If there is no patient identifying information in the photos, it's not a HIPAA violation. However, it is apparently a violation of facility rules, and this could cost you your job. On the other hand,...

    are mandatory scrub color-coding in hospitals the wave of the future?

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

    Especially when considering that it isn't uniform facility to facility. My facility, nurses wear navy and white, UAP wears green, allied health wears maroon. The facility across town? Nurses are...

    Nursing Student From Hell

    Rose_Queen replied to DWelly14's topic in General Nursing

    Why wouldn't it be fair? All types of nursing are fair game when it comes to NCLEX, and there is much more to preparing for NCLEX than simply completing required nursing school courses. In my...

    Senior centers try robotic cats to soothe agitated elders

    Rose_Queen replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Nursing News

    I have to agree they look a tad creepy. Way back when I worked in a nursing home (before nursing school) there was always a woman who brought in a cat to visit her mom. That cat was quite popular with...

    No Call No Show as a student.

    Rose_Queen replied to LuffyXD's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Being marked as a no call/no show is not unconstitutional, it is not discriminatory. You failed to ensure your text went through. This is why I don't understand texting for things like this- actually...

    What has your research shown you so far? A Google search of "ethical dilemma in pediatric oncology" turns up about 179,000 results, including some professional journal articles. You can probably find...

    Wasting non-narcotics?

    Rose_Queen replied to emmafrancis's topic in Patient Medications

    First, refer back to the policy. If the policy states that all meds have to be wasted, then all meds have to be wasted. Second, why is a nurse pulling a med that he/she isn't going to give when it's...

    Voluntary surrender

    Rose_Queen replied to thatonenurse14's topic in General Nursing

    That part probably has to do with the letter that she received from the BON in the state where she isn't currently practicing, and since she says she knows she's going to lose, it must be something...

    Voluntary surrender

    Rose_Queen replied to thatonenurse14's topic in General Nursing

    Anything you do with your license in one state can and most likely will affect your license in another state. Have you consulted with an attorney familiar with nursing licensure? TAANA Executive...

    Nursing Student From Hell

    And I think you're not getting that this student is near graduation and should be held to high standards. A student doesn't stay a student forever; expectations become higher as more classes are...

    This was standard during my capstone- the instructor had to drop in at least 4 times. We were asked questions just like we would have been in a normal clinical with an instructor. Concerns were...

    Can students be ANA members?

    Rose_Queen replied to ital91's topic in General Students

    You aren't eligible for membership, but you can become a subscriber. Honestly, I'd say you'd be better off with a specialty organization instead of a general one. Several offer student rates. I'm also...

    Nursing Student From Hell

    Rose_Queen replied to DWelly14's topic in General Nursing

    She's a student in her last semester who is getting one to one time with a nurse, not trying to compete with other students for an instructor's time. This is clearly a program that offers a...
