    Debating if I should Transfer Schools!

    Rose_Queen replied to Marieh's topic in General Students

    $12,000 per semester? You can find entire programs for that price if you look hard enough! Sounds like there's a valid reason the CC is more competitive than the private university. Why are you only...

    New Grad Tele job no contract vs OR Fellowship 3 year contract

    Rose_Queen replied to SAS2016's topic in General Nursing

    Generally, they stay because they like it. I have worked with many nurses who have decided to leave the OR for one reason or another- usually because they didn't grasp the reality. It can be...

    New OR Nurse -Instrument Count Question

    Rose_Queen replied to heythere15's topic in Operating Room

    We have a printed sheet with names of instruments but no numbers. We count what's on the field- if we have more than one tray, they are combined and counted together. So, let's say we're doing a...

    Prioritizing

    Rose_Queen replied to nurse_1993's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Priority is going to be based on the patient's nursing assessment. There is no set rule to priority. Do you have a rationale for why you've chosen your priority

    Rose_Queen replied to Rose_Queen's topic in Operating Room

    Your feelings are completely normal! You may have been a senior nurse on the ward (which the terminology leads me to believe you aren't American?), but the OR is a whole new world. Basically, it's...

    Rose_Queen replied to Rn 1979's topic in Operating Room

    Hate to break it to you, but you're going to see that in periop as well. Granted, you're only going to be dealing with families briefly and the patient will usually end up under some form of...

    New OR Nurse -Instrument Count Question

    Rose_Queen replied to heythere15's topic in Operating Room

    Counts should follow a sequence in that items are counted from the field out. It would start with the instruments in the surgeon's hands, then the mayo stand, then the instrument table, then anything...

    Rose_Queen replied to IvyRN2017's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    We at AN are happy to help with homework, but we ask that you show what you've found first and where you are stuck. Do you know what role the kidneys play in acid-base balance? Then think about how...

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

    If you are unsure of the veracity of the information, perhaps you should fact check before posting false information. That is how these rumors and untruths are spread. No one attacked you; they...

    Rose_Queen replied to CedarGirl10's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Did you try your textbook? Chances are, the information can be found there. And are you googling those questions as worded? You're going to need to choose key words to google and determine the answer...

    Rad Tech VS Nursing

    Rose_Queen replied to klsm92's topic in School, College Programs

    Have you looked into the job market where you are? In my area, it is next to impossible for rad techs to find jobs. Nurses, on the other hand, see more opportunity in comparison. You really need to...

    PA BON Initial License: must take NCLEX within 1 yr completing education

    Rose_Queen replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Um, what? One very publicized case does not mean PA's main problem is pedophiles. Yes, child abuse should have education so that nurses are able to recognize it, but I think you've blown things a bit...

    Need help renewing my license for the first time.

    Rose_Queen replied to JuliusSeizure's topic in General Nursing

    Most likely not. It seems schools either deem this unimportant or too complicated because all states are different and leave all students to fend for themselves when it comes to this. OP, do not...

    What is a good state for the Rn nclex

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

    NCLEX is a national exam- it doesn't matter where you take it. What matters is what you've done differently to prepare yourself for another retake, and whether you've put the information from your...
