    No OR 13 (and we do have enough for there to be one), but all of our other units have a 13, including preop and

    CPR - I need a myth buster!

    Rose_Queen replied to cpr,sucka's topic in CCU, Coronary, Cardiac

    Those views don't necessarily come from registered members- AN is completely public and can be viewed by anyone. Unless a topic is of such interest that it convinces them to register, those folks are...

    Need license

    Rose_Queen replied to preston6484's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Wow, that's 14 years ago. Even if your state doesn't have limits on how much time can pass between graduation and taking the exam, there have been a lot of changes to nursing. You're definitely going...

    Maternity leave length dictated

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

    And unless you were employed elsewhere in the same facility and did qualify for FMLA, then your manager has already done more than federally required. Not all employers would have even considered...

    Inactive license after NCLEX!

    Rose_Queen replied to RN2fish's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Part of the NCLEX process is to score the exam twice- once immediately after you finish and once the following day. If you've only taken NCLEX this morning, then that second scoring hasn't happened....

    interview soon, please advise

    Rose_Queen replied to lilianbruno's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    My advice would be to practice your answers to those questions, not just post them here and then use other people's answers. Now, if you wanted to post your answers for feedback, that would be...

    Nurse starting pay

    Rose_Queen replied to libbyjones's topic in General Nursing

    Keep in mind that average salary includes those that are the lowest and those that are the highest- for all experience levels and all areas regardless of cost of living. It would be better to get the...

    Influenza Epidemic Declared in Western WA

    Rose_Queen replied to nursej22's topic in General Nursing

    Not in WA (mid-Atlantic state in the Baltimore region), but my facility has been well above 100% capacity for the last two weeks. ICU nurses are being tripled, and we've been struggling to get all of...

    Need some advice on if I should start at a 4 year university in California

    Rose_Queen replied to Sam_havens's topic in California Nursing

    Are you intending to be a nursing student? If so, have you looked into the job requirements in your area? In areas where there are many nursing schools, a BSN is becoming the minimum education to...

    nclex exam help ( need more questions)

    Rose_Queen replied to roshnij88's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Have you tried seeking resources from your school? Schools are likely to want their students to pass, as those are statistics that are publicly available and are also monitored by the BON to maintain...

    Pearson Vue Trick

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

    I believe a valid credit card is required. Any transaction with an expired card is going to be declined. However, there have also been those for whom the PVT was inaccurate. Why not wait for official...

    Aged Care Duty of care question

    Rose_Queen replied to Huwscor's topic in General Nursing

    From the article, never event #27 on the list: Note that it doesn't mention that it's only if it's a staff member who commits the assault. It's any assault regardless of who the perpetrator may be....

    Only charting?

    Rose_Queen replied to Niquolea26's topic in General Students

    Not to mention managers and coworkers. I've seen posts here describing how someone slipped a copy of a post under the manager's door. AN isn't as anonymous as people seem to think it

    Getting a new Da Vinci XI robot, any advice ?

    Rose_Queen replied to mhy12784's topic in Operating Room

    If this is the first robot, then I would advise starting with a core team to learn the cases. When my facility first introduced robots, we trained 2 teams- these teams were responsible for full...

    Maternity Nurse Q's

    Rose_Queen replied to Jesshewitt's topic in Nursing Career

    I don't have anything to tell you about maternity nursing, but I do have a (rather strong) opinion about that year of med/surg: it's a crock of you know what. Med/surg is a specialty in its own right;...

    Are there any lpn to rn bridge programs onli5 in Florida

    Rose_Queen replied to Bee1234's topic in LPN to RN

    Even as an LPN, an RN program is going to require a clinical portion- there will be no 100% online option. It's possible you may be able to find a program that offers the classroom portion online. Can...

    Getting a new Da Vinci XI robot, any advice ?

    Rose_Queen replied to mhy12784's topic in Operating Room

    If you have any other model of the robot, make sure you set up in your system separate preference cards for each robot. It'll save a lot of headaches when supplies need

    How Many Letters Do We Need?

    ADN isn't an official degree that's conferred onto a graduate. It's a nursing abbreviation incorporating all associates degrees with a concentration in nursing. Those degrees may be the associates in...

    Professor forgot to grade 8 assignments!

    Rose_Queen replied to yajaira21's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You need to follow your school's procedure for going up the chain of command. Typically, it's instructor, then head of department, then so on up the line. Did you contact the instructor at any point...

    As a new grad, or nurse in general, are jobs abundant, or scarce where you live?

    Rose_Queen replied to bear94's topic in General Nursing

    Southern PA/northern MD. New grads can get jobs if they have connections or are willing to forgo the dream job as the first job and start out in LTC. Experienced nurses have no problems if they have...
