    Bad pop up after using Kaplan but received Analysis Question

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

    You just tested today. The test isn't even officially scored until after 24 hours because it goes through a second scoring. You are not officially an RN until you have a license. That's not saying...

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

    Rose_Queen replied to SAS2016's topic in General Nursing

    Most likely you'll end up acclimating to the temperature in the OR. I can't even have my house temp over 67 degrees without sweating! Maybe that's why I don't get

    Got fired for a medication error

    Rose_Queen replied to Sonyab's topic in Patient Medications

    I would say fired not so much for medication errors as for unsafe practice. There is a difference. Not taking the time to review the order/MAR? That's unsafe

    Failed NCLEX 11 times.

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

    No, it's not. Those who practice as a prudent nurse should practice will be fine. I've been in practice for over a decade, and only 1 person I've worked with was ever named in a suit. It wasn't even...

    Best peri-op preceptor

    Rose_Queen replied to RNproudtobe's topic in Operating Room

    Staffing doesn't really allow us to do 1 to 1 preceptors. We try to keep the same person in each specialty, but if there's a day off or a later shift for the preceptor, then the orientee has to spend...

    Re-applying for my job

    Rose_Queen replied to Tweety's topic in General Nursing

    Is this like a clinical ladder thing? We have to complete the entire portfolio every two years and have it reviewed by an entire committee of people. Not worth the extra $1/hour to me, so I'm happy...

    Depending on the unit, you may be pre, post, and procedural or only one of those areas. Procedural is going to be a heck of a lot like the OR only sterility is not enforced because the GI and...

    Rose_Queen replied to Cola89's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    New nurse where do I start

    Rose_Queen replied to briargirl's topic in General Nursing

    I would say that depends on the job market where you are. Is it a saturated market where new grads don't have much choice or one of the pockets of shortages where you can get a job in maternity? Check...
