    RN NCLEX licensure, help!!!!!

    Rose_Queen replied to Eagerbeaver1's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    When posting on the internet, one must be prepared for responses that one doesn't agree with. Even if you are able to pass NCLEX and become licensed in another state, you may not be able to endorse...

    Sick from roof leaks and water damage at nursing home?

    Rose_Queen replied to HappyCNA's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Mold was my first thought as well. I can't imagine any state DOH would allow a facility that routinely utilizes trash cans and barrels for a leaking roof to continue operating without repair. A one...

    My new nurse manager is driving me crazy

    Rose_Queen replied to Lilone20's topic in General Nursing

    I'm just going to put this quote here: I'm in the position where I want to find a new job, and have been trying to do so for the last several months. I love what I do; management has torpedoed morale...

    What next ... ?

    Rose_Queen replied to brighidh's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Have you looked into RNFA as an option? There wouldn't be an office component with that. You may end up needing to investigate new workplaces if you choose that route as it appears your facility...

    ASN or BSN for NGO work? Location: MA

    Rose_Queen replied to sgroga01's topic in Nursing Career

    Research jobs in your area. If postings state BSN required, you'll need that BSN. If they state BSN preferred, you'd have a leg up with a BSN. If they don't state a preference, you may be fine with an...

    Rose_Queen replied to snapdragon13's topic in Operating Room

    Are you sure it's the specialty and not part of the transition from student to nurse? It's not at all uncommon for new nurses to have feelings like what you're experiencing- and it's entirely possible...

    Need to buy nursing shoes

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

    Instead of asking everyone for recommendations, I would head to a shoe store and try some on. I work with a lot of nurses who swear by Danskos. However, they put me in absolute agony. I learned- I...

    NCLEX 2nd time around.

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

    It's been many, many years since I took NCLEX. But I still remember what I did the day before the test: I worked, I followed a coworker home who offered to let me spend the night so I wouldn't have to...

    Hospitals that pay for school

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

    The only thing you might be able to find is tuition reimbursement. Basically, you pay out of pocket and after completion of the courses to the facility's satisfaction, you might get some of that money...

    Having trouble gaining employment

    Rose_Queen replied to FitMommyRN1608's topic in New York Nursing

    You may need to expand your search beyond the hospital. Many areas are seeing a surplus of new grads, with nowhere near enough positions for all of them. RN experience outside of acute care is still...

    PICU patient returning or going straight to PICU versus PACU

    Rose_Queen replied to debberslnc's topic in PICU, Pediatric

    My facility doesn't have a PICU, but the only patients who bypass PACU are those who are intubated. Regardless of level of care, a patient who is extubated goes to

    Surginet Documentation

    Rose_Queen replied to SweetSouthernLove's topic in Operating Room

    My facility doesn't use Surginet, but we are allowed to go in and make necessary changes as long as it is documented as an addendum to the record. Our OR records are automatically closed at 48 hours...

    If you go to the MD BON website, you should be able to find a list of programs that are approved. From there, you can do research to see what is offered in your area. You will not find a 100% online...

    Should new graduates relocate? Advice and thoughts

    Rose_Queen replied to sazbsn's topic in Nursing Career

    Nursing is one of the few professions where it seems people don't expect to have to relocate to find that first job. Whether it's a good idea is something that's going to have to be decided on an...

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

    Quality control. The exam is graded by the computer immediately. However, it then is scored a second time after 24 hours. 48 hours is nothing in the long run. Take a deep breath. Go do something you...
