    Is this mental abuse???

    Rose_Queen replied to nursingmomma33's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I don't know about being abuse, but it is most definitely a boundary issue and a potential ethics conflict. It needs to be reported to the

    Achieve prep? Good or crap?

    Rose_Queen replied to Klich75's topic in School, College Programs

    Achieve Test Prep is not a school- it's an exam company that can help with getting credit for college courses, but it is not an actual nursing program. Before you use them, be sure any school will...

    Denied PTO for my marriage

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

    Agree. And the big thing to realize is that there will likely be no date that every single family member and friend can make. Pick a date, and those who can make it will; those who can't won't. For...

    OP was seeing a screen for a unit that is different than the one she works on. If it's not her unit, she does not have a need to be seeing a list of

    advise needed

    Rose_Queen replied to pedsorbust's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    It may not be successful, but it could happen and be a headache to get through. However, I think there may be an issue with OP working on one floor but seeing information on a floor on which she...

    advise needed

    Rose_Queen replied to pedsorbust's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    Those answers will truly depend on what is done with what you did beyond the termination. The person whose information you learned via channels you shouldn't have could file an official complaint. Or,...

    Staff Development Coordinator

    Rose_Queen replied to cbrue645's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    I think that a facility being willing to interview an applicant with months of experience for a job that should require years of experience is a huge red flag. With as little experience as you have,...

    Can't get my foot in the OR door, help!

    Rose_Queen replied to ylime92's topic in Operating Room

    What you need to look for are postings that are intended for those without experience. Because OR nursing is a whole other world, our orientation is a very long process- a decent orientation for a...

    Informatics Nurse Specialist

    Rose_Queen replied to amcaruso91's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Have you tried reaching out to facilities in your area? There are several reasons I highly recommend that approach over turning to the internet: you never know when the person you interview can become...

    Need your opinion on a matter I posted on a facebook forum

    Rose_Queen replied to flymedicRN24's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I would not be posting inflammatory comments. You never know when they can come back to bite you. Remember, if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. The only studying habits and...

    2017 CE (continuing edu) Nursing REQUIREMENTS

    Rose_Queen replied to Icooka4u's topic in General Nursing

    There are many sites that offer CE options, including some that are free. I am not familiar with nurse.com but I also tend to go for offerings from my speciality organization since there are specific...

    This is something you should discuss with your provider. Allnurses does not provide medical advice or test result

    Will I find a job?

    Rose_Queen replied to Ashley.edwards26's topic in Retired Nurses

    Depends on the area where you are looking for work and the types of jobs you're willing to apply for. Yes, fresh new grads are going to have an advantage. You're going to need to find a way to...

    Should Obama care be repealed?

    Rose_Queen replied to luv2's topic in General Nursing

    ACA is not perfect. However, it does offer some protections that were not available previously: pre-existing condition protection, college student coverage to name just a few. The old way didn't work;...

    Consents from patients who cannot sign for self

    Rose_Queen replied to Chilly_hands's topic in Operating Room

    Anesthesia consent is done day of because we don't know which anesthesia provider will be assigned to the case until the morning. It is done over the phone if no one is present in person. Our...

    Consents from patients who cannot sign for self

    Rose_Queen replied to Chilly_hands's topic in Operating Room

    These cases are handled in my facility as I posted above: we must have a number where someone can be reached 24/7. Whether it's whoever is on call for the agency/legally appointed person or a...

    RNFA: how does it work for you?

    Rose_Queen replied to NJRN1969's topic in Operating Room

    My facility recently decided to begin a first assist program for both RNs and CSTs. They accepted applications from current employers and provided the clinical experiences required. In return, they...

    Job shadow/ Career interview

    Rose_Queen replied to Farrah 34's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Is this an assignment for school? If so, they should be able to help you reach out to the correct people. If they can't do that, then be prepared for an uphill battle for shadowing- some facilities...

    Bair Hugger and Safety Belt

    Rose_Queen replied to SQueenRN's topic in Operating Room

    Another option would be to move from safety straps with buckles, which makes me think they are reusable, to a disposable velcro option. We use a fully disposable OR table setup- sheet, draw sheet,...

    Denied PTO for my marriage

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

    Except that the role of the facility is to provide care to patients. The facility can't just grant all requests when they all happen at the same time. It is also not at all uncommon for summer to be...

    New nurse here. Questions about PRN intervals and "HIPAA spooking"

    Rose_Queen replied to Axmann, RN, BSN, NREMT-B's topic in General Nursing

    Take a look at your BON's disciplinary actions- they're public record. What you'll find is that the vast majority of infractions involve drugs, alcohol, or criminal offenses, not technicalities. It is...

    Consents from patients who cannot sign for self

    Rose_Queen replied to Chilly_hands's topic in Operating Room

    We always require a way to teach whoever is authorized to sign consents- whether a patient is scheduled or not. If something happens in the middle of the night, who gets called? There has to be...

    Respected nursing programs

    Rose_Queen replied to csparks118's topic in School, College Programs

    My tip? Forget about "lists" and "well respected". Nursing schools aren't going to be nationally known, so what matters is the local reputation of the school. Chances are, you aren't going to find a...
