    Rose_Queen replied to IRN2011's topic in General Nursing

    When the information is provided by the person in question and not found through the chart, no HIPAA violation has occurred. If I tell Suzy Q that I had a bout of norovirus and Suzy Q goes and tells...

    OR Pharmacology Exam

    Rose_Queen replied to 37jce's topic in Operating Room

    If you are interested in OR nursing, go ahead and join AORN in order to get access to those resources. The journal articles are worth it- heck, many years ago I paid $1000 for a lifetime membership-...

    Where do OR nurses go?

    Rose_Queen replied to learningnurse's topic in Operating Room

    New employer. I love what I do; I am not happy with the management at my current employer. I dread going in to work every day. Many days, I cry tears of frustration on my way home. I have put out...

    Not happy with bedside

    Rose_Queen replied to mestiza90's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Why not try another area of direct patient care? Nursing has an amazing variety of options. So, maybe LTC/rehab isn't for you. There's still many other fields to investigate- just check under the...

    New hire PCT but soon to be RN. CONFUSED?

    Rose_Queen replied to asrn2017's topic in Nursing Career

    We can't answer that question for you- it's going to depend on the facility and its policies. The recommendation for BSN is 80% of nurses. How the facility decides who must be that 80% and who can be...

    Most users here are likely to be more familiar with OR- operating room. Is it possible to make it as a new grad? Absolutely- I've done it. But there are things to take into consideration: are you...

    Has anyone here heard of 'Cardio Revelation'?

    Rose_Queen replied to solDanz's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I wouldn't trust it. No email connected to the company? Wanting cell phone numbers even if that's not the best way to get ahold of people? Nope- red

    New Grad Operating Nurse- with Perioperative internship underbelt

    Rose_Queen replied to tori3195's topic in Operating Room

    I started in the OR as a new grad. I still love what I do (not the place I work for so much, but that's another story) and I'm still working in the OR. I know a lot of people say to start in med/surg,...

    The OR is heaven on earth

    Rose_Queen replied to stephen22's topic in Operating Room

    Okay, first let's look at your terminology. Scrub means that- scrubbed. The person has done a surgical hand scrub and is wearing a sterile gown and gloves. That nurse sitting on the side isn't a scrub...

    The OR is heaven on earth

    Rose_Queen replied to stephen22's topic in Operating Room

    First, are you sure the person scrubbed was actually a nurse? There's an entire profession who goes to school to learn the ins and outs of scrubbing for surgery: surgical technologists. Nurses can...

    Wrong side for amputation(loss of license)

    Rose_Queen replied to Beldar_the_Cenobite's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Actually, it's a team responsibility. That's why there's verification of an H&P against the surgical consent against what the patient states is being done against what is stated on the surgical...

    On Call hours?? Too much!

    Rose_Queen replied to HappyKYRN's topic in General Nursing

    Heck, I'd kill for only 6 call shifts per month. I take at least four 16 hour call shifts per two week pay period plus every fourth weekend from end of shift Friday to start of shift Monday (64 hours...

    Pulmonary Embolism response team or PERT Team

    Rose_Queen replied to deweydecimal13501's topic in General Nursing

    Each one is called something different at my facility. Wouldn't it make sense to be able to alert the appropriate people at once without making those who aren't needed respond as well? Maybe my...

    Rose_Queen replied to guest974915's topic in Operating Room

    Either meet the expectations or find another job. If you're worried about loss of skills, request to scrub every so often to maintain them. They'll get you with the line that's in every job...
