    Rose_Queen replied to missfoxrn's topic in Operating Room

    Well, most of my call back time is spent finishing the scheduled cases- we don't have a second shift cardiac team. Sometimes it's only 30 minutes (the minimum to get paid for 2 hours), sometimes it's...

    Does working at a small hospital make me less of a nurse?

    Rose_Queen replied to Jaellys's topic in General Nursing

    It's no more true than the debates about ICU nursing vs. med/surg nursing, ER nursing vs. floor nursing, acute care vs. ambulatory care nursing. You know what they say about opinions, right? "No one...

    Reporting coworkers

    Rose_Queen replied to jaMcLPN's topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    Newer RN - How do I get an OR job without experience in that area??

    Rose_Queen replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    It could also be that you are searching at the wrong time of year. Because OR orientation is a long process (a good orientation should be 6-9 months), they may only be offered for those without...

    Why is so hard to get into Labor and delivery department?

    Rose_Queen replied to Marian96's topic in Ob/Gyn

    L&D is traditionally a coveted specialty. If a unit needs an experienced nurse who will need minimal orientation, that's who they are going to look for. If you truly want an L&D job, you need...

    Sounds like if you can answer verbally but have issues with written formats that you may benefit by being evaluated for a learning disability and also brushing up on test taking

    Why Can Pre-Med Students Know Their Choice But Nursing Students "Can't"?

    Rose_Queen replied to Shookclays's topic in General Nursing

    That is something I will staunchly advocate against. One of the perks of nursing is the flexibility to change specialties without having to return to school. Making nursing education specialized would...

    Did you choose nursing because it was your "calling"?

    Rose_Queen replied to Corgilicious's topic in General Students
