    Rose_Queen replied to Cherry#nurse's topic in Patient Medications

    Yet in your other thread you state you are a new nurse. Which is it? If you are not a licensed nurse, then you should not be representing yourself as a nurse as you do in your username and your other...

    Never thought it would be this bad

    Rose_Queen replied to ajacks65's topic in General Nursing

    Agree with the idea of finding a home unit. Float pool, in my opinion, is not a place for new grads- how is it possible to get into a routine with assessments, medication administrations, working with...

    Rose_Queen replied to marienm, RN, CCRN's topic in Burn

    Questions about being a Nurse/ER Nurse

    Rose_Queen replied to meganraeanne's topic in General Students

    Is this an interview for an assignment? If so, I highly recommend you find a nurse to speak with in person. Here's why: 1. You can't verify identities on an anonymous website- you have no way of...

    what counts as experience in specialty areas?

    Rose_Queen replied to jdhoward407's topic in General Students

    CST and RN are two different roles- and scopes of practice. Will your CST experience influence your attractiveness as a candidate? Probably. Will it mean you'll start at a higher salary? Depends on...

    Help with literature review

    Rose_Queen replied to Aobrien89's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Why not look at current research on asthma and parents and develop the question from there? No point developing a question only to find there's no research on it

    superstitions/things you always do before work?

    Rose_Queen replied to IHeartPeds87's topic in General Nursing

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

    How do you expect this to help you? It's not the ability to perform tasks that makes the nurse; it's the knowledge to know why the task is being done and what to do with the results of the task....

    I can't do chest compressions (CPR) will I be terminated?

    Rose_Queen replied to 42pines's topic in General Nursing

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

    Is this post for real? There's a reason policies regarding time off are made- the fact that you think someone's wedding is more important than someone else's plans is incredibly subjective. Having a...

    Important question on IV Fluids

    Rose_Queen replied to KingOfTheCastle's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Then the question makes zero sense and cannot be answered. I would never assume anything unless I had been told to, such as "for every intervention listed, assume you have an order" when answering...
