    Catching something from patients?

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

    If you follow proper hand washing and PPE protocols, the likelihood is infinitesimally small. If you are up to date on vaccinations, your likelihood of contracting vaccine-preventable illnesses...

    Blood typing test?

    Rose_Queen replied to Neywel120's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Blood that is the same type (A, B, AB, O) should not agglutinate; that is why it is safest to transfuse someone the same type of blood they are. However, there are other antigens and antibodies beyond...

    HIPAA and one's own spouse/partner

    Rose_Queen replied to pmabraham's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    Yes. They are not in the need to know category. Why do you need anything more specific? The spouse is clearly not in the need to know category. If legislators and those writing regulations had to...

    School and sterile gloving

    Rose_Queen replied to XalieHealbot's topic in General Students

    It takes practice. Is there an opportunity to utilize your school's skills lab for practice? Can you buy sterile gloves yourself to practice with? Amazon.com does have some

    HELP! Threats to call BON!

    Rose_Queen replied to Nechic01's topic in General Nursing

    Not necessarily. OP definitely needs to check the laws for her state. In some, once possession of a place has been taken, you have to go through a standard eviction process which can last 30 days....

    Are Nurses Considered "First Responders?"

    Rose_Queen replied to SunnyPupRN's topic in General Nursing

    Are Nurses First

    Against all odds.

    Rose_Queen replied to learningnurse's topic in Operating Room

    Find a new job. No OR training is a set up for failure. You need an environment where new OR nurses receive a thorough residency/orientation

    Please help (positive advice only please)

    Rose_Queen replied to phuturenurse1988's topic in Men in Nursing

    Because there are programs that the state approves that aren't accredited. Accreditation =/= state BON approval and vice versa. The state doesn't care about accreditation. That's why my advice to...

    What does this "pop-up mean"? Did I pass???!!!

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

    It means your results are on hold. It is neither the so-called good pop up or bad pop

    Hipaa question help

    Rose_Queen replied to Foxlern's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    Do you have any kind of an argument as to why it is or isn't? What are your thoughts about it? I have mine, but I'd like to see what your reasoning behind this question is

    Blog Faux Pas? Help!

    Rose_Queen replied to JofAllTrades's topic in Nurse Entrepreneurs, Innovators

    Actually, you've done something that is illegal in many states. Title "Nurse" Protection: Summary of Language by State One cannot refer to oneself as a nurse without holding a valid license. So,...

    Labor and Delivery Nurses

    Rose_Queen replied to Joviz's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Under the specialties tab, you will find OB/GYN Nursing. At the bottom of the page is a search box that lets you search that particular forum. Searching "new grad" in just the OB/GYN returns a lot of...

    did any of you share your first job offer on Facebook?

    Rose_Queen replied to mixtapern's topic in General Nursing

    Facebook wasn't an option. And if it's friends and family, why not tell them in person? I don't post anything work related on Facebook. I also don't post anything I wouldn't want to be public on...

    Interview in oral surgery center-pay, sedation responsibilities, etc

    Rose_Queen replied to Rn2016grad's topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    Generally, pay in outpatient settings is lower than in inpatient acute settings, so that may have to be something you take into consideration. On the flip side, outpatient settings frequently don't...

    4 years not practicing nursing as a staff nurse.

    Rose_Queen replied to ybcg's topic in General Nursing

    Nowhere near enough information in your post to provide any kind of assistance. Have you been working in any nursing capacity? Where are you looking for jobs? Have you researched the job market in...

    NCLEX-RN SATA Questions

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

    I really don't understand why NCLEX takers focus so much on how many of what type of questions they get. The posts stating that SATA questions are written both below and above passing standard are...

    Questions for male nurse for essay

    Rose_Queen replied to ramseydennis's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    There's likely a reason for that. AN, by allowing users to choose a username, provides some level of anonymity. Giving you a name would completely negate that. If you wish to be given names, then you...

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

    Are you planning to transfer completely to a new school or just for those classes you listed above? Your post is not clear as you mention both. Check with your current school to ensure that they will...

    Writing opportunities for a nurse?

    Rose_Queen replied to Eeramsey's topic in General Nursing

    Once you've gotten some experience, you can always look into writing articles for your specialty's journal. There are also other magazines for nurses that may accept articles. You can join a council...

    Advice on my journey to the OR!

    Rose_Queen replied to Britt.lee0911's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Potentially. It would depend on finding an employer willing to hire an RN, provide enough hours in the assistant role to meet the RNFA requirements, and then change employment role to RNFA. Not all...

    Advice on my journey to the OR!

    Rose_Queen replied to Britt.lee0911's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    There is no such role- NPs and PAs are completely different professions. Do you mean RNFA (registered nurse first assistant)? If so, AORN and CCI both have lots of information. NPs and PAs can...

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

    On call pay is likely only a few dollars an hour. If those nurses get called in, they are likely getting paid time and a half for those hours spent working. It's cheaper for the facility to pay flat...

    Based on this post and your previous posts, I think you are placing blame where it doesn't belong. Tests at this level aren't about being able to regurgitate information; they are about applying that...

    Bumping this one up because it certainly seems like there's been a sudden influx of interview requests. Students, it really is easier for someone granting you the favor of an interview to simply talk...
