    Help - what is the easiest floor to work

    Rose_Queen replied to gears83's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Even in the OR, you need to be able to gain the trust of your patient, and you only have a few minutes to do it. You do need to have people skills even in the OR. And I've seen too many nurses who...

    New Grad RN Positions

    Rose_Queen replied to brianna24's topic in General Nursing

    The best thing you can do is sit down and plan out a budget both ways. What is the new grad pay in both areas? What would be your expenses each month? Also consider pros and cons of both options. Do...

    Parents in the operating room

    Rose_Queen replied to dimanzella's topic in General Nursing

    No parents (or any outsiders) in the OR here. Personally, I don't want the responsibility of not only my patient but my patient's parents as well- watching to make sure they don't contaminate...

    Not paying license renewal fees on time (random thoughts)

    Rose_Queen replied to TheCommuter's topic in General Nursing

    There are states that don't require CEs for renewal. My state only started requiring them 5 years ago. I pretty much go after the free ones online. Even the mandatory child abuse hours can be found...

    It's that time of year again!!!

    Rose_Queen replied to adventure_rn's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know how, but I've avoided ever being in the hospital when the magical repeat of an hour occurs. I can say that I think my hospital does things weird with surgical timing- if we have a case...

    Resume Information

    Rose_Queen replied to TMD_RN's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I would not include the bank as it is not your most recent job and is completely unrelated to the position you seek. The only time I have included a non-nursing job on my resume was when I was...

    Would you report possible diversion?

    Rose_Queen replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    All licensed professionals are treated pretty much equally in my state when it comes to being listed on the website for license disciplinary actions. This is the disciplinary action against a...

    Which subjects should I take?

    Rose_Queen replied to Nurse2bcarty's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You may wish to specify the school as no two schools will have the same course numbers/titles. Then again, you may wish not to specify the school as it would severely decrease your anonymity here....

    If you are an LPN are you married or in a relationship?

    Rose_Queen replied to Neezy84's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Psst... check your math. There's 168 hours in a week! OP, it all depends on what you are willing to work on. If the relationship is important, people work to keep that relationship healthy and strong...

    Not paying license renewal fees on time (random thoughts)

    Rose_Queen replied to TheCommuter's topic in General Nursing

    Heck, if it were to the point of not having enough to pay my $65 renewal fee, I'm breaking out the credit card that is literally on ice. Like, frozen into a container of water in my freezer literally...

    Should I become a certified registered nurse anesthetist?

    Rose_Queen replied to kyle.lee's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Why not what? Not apply there? That was in reference to those ambulatory centers that do have weekend hours if there are any out there. Since OP doesn't want to work weekends, those would be places to...

    Rose_Queen replied to Karen3500's topic in General Nursing

    You haven't mentioned what area you live in. Is it an area where there is no nursing shortage? If so, it's quite likely that employers are going to take on applicants who have more recent or more...

    Should I become a certified registered nurse anesthetist?

    Rose_Queen replied to kyle.lee's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Depends on where you work. 2 or 3 pm is likely to be unrealistic- procedural areas seem to run during day shift, 7am to 3pm or later. You may be better off expecting 4 or 5 pm if you get a job working...

    Pearsonvue Trick "on HOLD"

    This is neither the so called good pop up nor the so called bad pop up. It means that results are on hold because they may be reviewing your exam/video from the test

    Learning things the first time?

    Rose_Queen replied to Beldar_the_Cenobite's topic in General Students

    Considering that many schools kick out students who fail a class, of course it's wise to learn things the first time. Some may allow 1 retake, others 2, a few none, and some

    As a future student, please go into school with an open mind. Just because you think it's an area you want to work in at the moment doesn't mean that it will stay that way once you've had a taste of...
