    Advice for GN looking for Philly job

    Rose_Queen replied to Citynurse302's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    There are many nursing schools in Philly, including some affiliated with those hospitals you've named. It's quite possible they prefer their own grads, plus it's an area where no BSN = application...

    Will my past mistakes haunt me? What can i do before it gets there?

    Rose_Queen replied to ErikEmme's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    The best place to seek answers is your state BON. They are the ones who have the final determination of whether you get a clear license, a license with stipulations, or no license. It would be best to...

    Oncology OR nursing

    Rose_Queen replied to Wolf at the Door's topic in Operating Room

    This is likely something you will need to ask those who posted the job description. Oncology is pretty broad; it could include general (colon, lymph node, etc), vascular (for access device insertion),...

    Nursing Interventions for Paroxysmal atrial fibrillation?

    Rose_Queen replied to mhingis's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    What do you think are some nursing interventions? Based on your previous posts, I think it's safe to assume you are a student. Are you working on a nursing care plan? If so, nursing interventions for...

    alright Nurses...what is your dream job?!

    Rose_Queen replied to permRNjobs's topic in General Nursing

    A, B, and fill in the blank: respect from management (not messing with my schedule, not cutting my hours, being approachable and willing to discuss said changes without being a dictator). Which I'm...

    Would it kill you to say thank you?

    Rose_Queen replied to macawake's topic in General Nursing

    Um, did you even read the OP? It has nothing to do with a thank you from patients. It has to do with getting a thank you from posters who come here asking for help and advice. I'm with macawake- so...

    LVN keeps personal notes about patients

    This. What is it that is being journaled that isn't covered in the charting, and why isn't it covered in the charting if it's significant enough that the nurse is journaling about

    How to give 2 week notice

    Rose_Queen replied to Motherofadarling's topic in General Nursing

    I do. I don't trust my employer not to try to use some underhanded methods to avoid things like paying out unused vacation time. Somewhere on AN, someone posted about how they were assigned call on...

    I already have a non-nursing gig on the side. Unfortunately, with my unpredictable call requirements anything with a schedule is a no-go. I am working on a whole new place of employment

    Rose_Queen replied to nekeishaLee's topic in Nursing Career

    There are ways to search for schools that will help ensure you attend one that will allow you to sit for NCLEX: 1. The state's BON or other approval agency should have a list of programs in the state...

    HELP! TOOK NCLEX-RN 9 times!!!!! Keep failing!

    Rose_Queen replied to dxt038's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Perhaps it is time for some serious self-reflection. I don't buy "horrible test taker" for 9 NCLEX failures. You've had plenty of time to understand how to read and answer the questions. If it's been...

    Do Nurses Earn Big Money? You Decide.

    Rose_Queen replied to TheCommuter's topic in General Nursing

    Yep. I always tell those who ask that it would not be wise to take out more in loans than they can realistically expect to make in a year. And sometimes, even that doesn't work out- I've had so many...

    Need to quit my horrible job!

    Rose_Queen replied to TexasRN89's topic in General Nursing

    You also don't want to be burning bridges. Quitting without notice tends to land one on a do not hire list. You never know when your current employer will merge with another system, and then you may...

    HIPPA

    Rose_Queen replied to mercyforyou's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    Pet peeve warning: It's HIPAA (1P, 2As), not HIPPA (female hippo?). Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act. What do you think will happen to the nurse? Why do you think so? Is this access...

    What do you think?

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

    I think it's time for some serious self-reflection. If you have problems with every job you take, look at the common denominator. Hint: it isn't other people. You cannot simply leave a job and never...

    I am not proud of my track record.

    Rose_Queen replied to STARL's topic in General Nursing

    The BON is not the judicial system- it is completely independent. If you have your own malpractice insurance, contact them. If not, TAANA can refer you to a lawyer familiar with nursing. Perhaps this...
