    FNP.. Decisions, Decision

    Rose_Queen replied to Ariel_89's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    That was a recommendation put out by the AACN in 2004. If it's anything like a BSN as the entry level for the career (first recommended in 1965 and it's still not happened beyond employer...

    Suspended without pay for expired TB requirement?

    Help with chest tube removal questions

    Rose_Queen replied to ezther's topic in General Nursing

    I've pulled chest tubes, usually just prior to surgical prep and when the patient is anesthetized with only the non-affected lung being ventilated. Surgeon is in the room already or right outside...

    Why Do Nurses Quit?

    Rose_Queen replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    Far too much emphasis on recruiting and nowhere near enough emphasis on retention. You can go out and get all the new grads you want, but what incentives are being offered to the established staff to...

    Family Feud: What would a nurse want to do to a hot male patient

    Rose_Queen replied to bruins79's topic in General Nursing

    Thing is, there are specific items for that. It's just that it's so taboo people use other objects and then have to endure surgical retrieval. If things just weren't so taboo, the issue would probably...

    Should DNP's be able to practice on their own? How do you feel about midlevel encroachment

    Rose_Queen replied to curiousobserver's topic in Advanced Practice

    And yet, if you look at studies comparing outcomes of patients of MDs and patients of NPs, the outcomes are comparable. Here's one article as an example; you should be able to find plenty more....

    Should DNP's be able to practice on their own? How do you feel about midlevel encroachment

    Rose_Queen replied to curiousobserver's topic in Advanced Practice

    Welcome to AN- I see this is your first post. Generally, the expectation is that you start the discussion. So, what are your thoughts on NPs practicing

    Career Clean Up

    Rose_Queen replied to petertheparrot's topic in General Nursing

    You already posted that you've had 5 jobs in 2 years. If you want to clean up your career, you need to stay at a job. You are currently working; why not just stay where you are and get that longevity...

    OR call schedule

    Rose_Queen replied to jenniecubbies808's topic in Operating Room

    Agree. Between being a trauma center meaning being staffed 24/7 and larger facilities tending to have a fully staffed second shift, it seems like less of a need for as many people on call and a larger...

    How do you feel about having other nurses as patients?

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

    I've had retired healthcare professionals of all walks as my patients. I don't really get that nervous about it since my patients spend the vast majority of their time with me under anesthesia. Now,...

    Risk for sepsis

    Rose_Queen replied to gbrito.nj's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    First, let's take a look at the "nursing" diagnosis you've made. It's not really a nursing diagnosis- sepsis/septic shock are medical diagnoses. What resource are you using when you're applying your...

    Visiting hours?

    Rose_Queen replied to BSN16's topic in General Nursing

    Our visiting hours went by the wayside around 10 years ago. The only restrictions are for 1 hour in the morning and 1 hour in the afternoon in the critical care units, but exceptions happen

    Family Feud: What would a nurse want to do to a hot male patient

    Rose_Queen replied to bruins79's topic in General Nursing

    Of course it won't be- that's not going to get viewers! Makes me so glad this "show" is on while I'm working so I don't have to watch

    Networking BSN

    Have you joined nursing organizations such as your state nursing association or your specialty association? They tend to have meetings on a regular basis that frequently include educational...

    BAD Accreditation??

    Rose_Queen replied to smalli's topic in General Students

    ACEN used to be NLNAC. It is quite possible that the reason NLNAC appears is because some applicants may have graduated prior to the name change. It could also be an oversight in updating the website...

    Men in Nursing

    Rose_Queen replied to L.Cisneros's topic in Men in Nursing

    To steal a line from another poster on a similar thread: My view on men in nursing is usually up their nose because they're taller than me. Other than that, I see them no differently than I do my...

    used to be a cardiac scrub nurse, i miss that a lot

    Being Ordered to Give Whiskey

    Rose_Queen replied to purplegal's topic in General Nursing

    Because drugs aren't free of adverse effects. If someone is in the hospital for a few days, that's not going to be enough time to change a behavior that is likely a long term thing. The patient is...

    HELP

    Rose_Queen replied to SouthernNurse90's topic in General Students

    If it's a medication/class of medications that they have a policy against using, yes. Just because something is legal/legal if prescribed doesn't mean a facility has to accept employees who take...

    used to be a cardiac scrub nurse, i miss that a lot

    Rose_Queen replied to bindu nair's topic in Operating Room

    Likely because it appears OP wasn't hired for cardiac, it's a separate team in the majority of facilities, and positions don't open often. OP, only you can decide whether it's worth it to stick it out...

    Abandonment

    Rose_Queen replied to farmdog's topic in General Nursing

    What, exactly, is it that someone else could have done while you were not working that could have led to you losing your license? Each licensed individual works only under his or her license; the most...

    HELP

    Rose_Queen replied to SouthernNurse90's topic in General Students

    It means that the lab probably has to do further testing to further determine what exactly was in the urine sample and correlate it with the prescriptions. Could the job be taken away? Sure, depending...

    utilization

    Rose_Queen replied to nurseshell66's topic in General Nursing

    Have you asked him what he wants? Best bet is to go straight to the source. But, by utilization my best guess (and this is why you want to ask him- we can only guess) is how many patients are getting...
