    So what's going to happen to health care now?

    Rose_Queen replied to GuineaPigs's topic in General Nursing

    If you are concerned, you need to discuss this with your health care provider. The other issue is that you and the other RN are practicing on each other- is this condoned by your workplace? I have a...

    Nclex PN

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

    Take a deep breath. NCLEX is a life-changing exam. Of course it's normal to be nervous about the results. Many have thought they failed only to learn they did indeed pass- and the national statistics...

    Helping patients kill themselves

    Rose_Queen replied to Cwoods's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    No, just truly questioning your choice of title. But that is simply your opinion. It is now a legal option. Just because you don't agree with it doesn't make it less of a valid option. I honestly...

    How do nurses keep current with up to date information?

    Rose_Queen replied to Shillelagh's topic in General Nursing

    Well, with 5 years of experience, what have you been doing to stay up to date? There's journals, there's CEUs, there's conferences, there's educational opportunities offered by employers, there's a...

    Helping patients kill themselves

    Rose_Queen replied to Cwoods's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Inflammatory title much? I think the ethics on this will be interesting. It all goes back to patient autonomy- they already have the right to refuse treatment, life sustaining or not. Why not give...

    Rose_Queen replied to Cheyenne RN,BSHS's topic in General Nursing

    Generally, if people want others on the internet to know how they are doing, they'll find other ways than making an announcement on a public message board that can be viewed by anyone and everyone. I...

    Pleural Effusion Nursing Diagnosis

    Rose_Queen replied to atm24's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Nursing diagnoses rely on the nursing assessment. What did your assessment about the patient tell you? While some nursing diagnoses may be related to the medical diagnosis, you never make a care plan...

    As was mentioned in your other post, you should consult your facility's policy and procedure manual. If you cannot find it, you need to ask one of your coworkers/your

    You have now spent two days attempting to solicit medical advice (with the last two posts being quite deceptive to the point of mentioning an instructor). You would have been much better served taking...

    Medical marijuana for nurses?

    Rose_Queen replied to Blackcat99's topic in Colorado Nursing

    Just because something is legal doesn't mean that an employer can't have policies against it. Places already don't hire those who smoke cigarettes or cigars or those who are on narcotic medications;...

    I am a new nurse trying to figure out how to get a doctor to stop bullying me at work.

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

    This is a discussion board primarily for nurses. That does not mean all posts are going to be helpful in your opinion. Posts that you disagree with aren't necessarily "ruining it for all"; it's a...

    Rose_Queen replied to guest974915's topic in General Nursing

    Same. Health care isn't about the health care anymore. It's all business and the bottom line is far too much of a focus. I get needing to reign in costs, but to cut nursing staff while paying half...
