    nursing dx for foreign body ingestion

    Rose_Queen replied to ukade's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    The goal of nursing diagnosis is to look at the nursing assessment of the patient. Sometimes, the assessment shows needs that are not related to the medical diagnosis, and that's perfectly fine. What...

    Asking a Nurse; Interview

    Rose_Queen replied to bella25's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Generally, the intent of these assignments are to get you out there and talking face to face with a nurse. Unfortunately, you can't verify the identity of anyone who would respond here- they may be a...

    Ask an OR nurse (Questions about what we do or how to become one of us)

    Rose_Queen replied to Rose_Queen's topic in Operating Room

    That's going to be very dependent on the types of surgeries performed at a facility. Some types of surgeries require a lot of positioning done only once. Some types of surgeries require multiple...

    Ncp for diarrhea patient

    Rose_Queen replied to stalwart19's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    The patient has a medical diagnosis of diarrhea. Nursing care plans are about the nursing assessment of the patient, not the medical diagnosis. What information does your nursing assessment

    Ear Piercings

    Rose_Queen replied to mariana2827's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It is quite possible that a school will have a dress code that directly addresses piercings. Mine did- we were only permitted one pair of stud-type earrings (additional jewelry was limited to a plain...

    Terminated after giving resignation notice

    Rose_Queen replied to rn0817's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Unless the reason you were terminated involved a legally protected status (race, religion, etc) there is likely nothing you can do. Is your facility's policy that one must give 4 weeks notice to...

    New nurse on cardiac tele

    Rose_Queen replied to momsspaghetti's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I'm not a cardiac tele nurse, so I don't have any tips for you. However, just because the order doesn't specify parameters doesn't mean you don't have any. Unless an ordering provider specifies...

    Time and concentration issues...

    Rose_Queen replied to lkwilker92's topic in General Students

    If all you are doing is reading, perhaps reading isn't the best study method for you. Have you taken a learning styles inventory? Not everyone can learn the same way; it's best to utilize the study...

    holidays... sick call...

    Rose_Queen replied to imsickagain's topic in General Nursing

    I'd like to see a source for this statement. Internal policy may limit what is said, but if it is factual it's likely fair game legally. What Can Former Employers Legally Say About Me? State Laws on...

    You may want to check out this thread which is in the Nurses with Disabilities forum. You can search for hard of hearing or deaf in individual forums by scrolling down to the bottom where you will...

    Math in nursing school

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

    Pet peeve: there is no such thing as an anesthesiologist RN. It's certified registered nurse anesthetist- CRNA. This site provides a searchable list of accredited CRNA programs; from this list, it...

    Math in nursing school

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

    Nurses need to know enough math to be able to safely calculate medication dosages, which seems to be the focus of exams in nursing school. The vast majority of it is basically using algebra to solve...

    Building the perfect BON

    Rose_Queen replied to triple...H's topic in General Nursing

    Yep. There are states where new grads are searching for up to a year or more for their first job. An entire state in need of nurses? Problem solved! And those who chose not to renew will no longer...

    CVOR vs CVICU

    Rose_Queen replied to bauern5513's topic in Critical Care

    Just the OR point of view on not getting a call: When we go back on bypass, it's usually emergent. So, you may see it in the OR record, but I'm still scrambling to open the extra supplies we need for...

    How long to give notice of resignation

    Rose_Queen replied to missjosieRN's topic in General Nursing

    Definitely check the requirements of your facility- in mine, a licensed position must give 4 weeks notice. Anyone in a management position must give 3

    Horrible Professor

    WHEN TO CALL DR.

    Rose_Queen replied to Ash0315's topic in General Nursing

    It would be best to first know your facility's policies. They may in fact address these questions. When you're new, it's important to know where to find resources, and be willing to ask your coworkers...

    CVOR vs CVICU

    Rose_Queen replied to bauern5513's topic in Critical Care

    Heck, when I'm calling report to the ICU, I don't know what vessels were bypassed. I know what vessels were blocked, but that doesn't necessarily mean they were bypassed- some are too small, some are...

    Are the on-call requirements worth it for a job you love?

    Rose_Queen replied to emilyaRN's topic in Cardiac

    Not cath lab, but cardiac OR. I'd love to take that little call. Yes, I did say little as I take far more than that. I still like my job, although I disagree with parts of it (starting elective cases...

    Rose_Queen replied to Xtina, BSN, RN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Nurses Eat Their Young. The fallacy that many experienced nurses go after the younger nurses for various, usually trivial reasons. AKA bullying, and also like the word bullying, far too overused for...

    Attention nurse bullies... and victims!!

    Rose_Queen replied to Xtina, BSN, RN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    But it can have some serious repercussions- there have been nurses disciplined over postings on social media. Facebook requires a name, which makes it very easy, but the PP gave out so much...
