    I need to interview 2 nurses for my writing class!

    Rose_Queen replied to greenm28's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    That's going to involve a lot of typing on the part of anyone willing to help you out. Have you tried looking for a nurse in person? It is much easier on the person doing you the favor of granting an...

    OR-specific scrubs

    Rose_Queen replied to Hmfog's topic in Operating Room

    Probably most of them. It's an AORN standard that surgical attire is laundered by a facility that can control things such as water temperature and drying

    Blue Apron, Hello Fresh, Etc. - Help with Meals

    Rose_Queen replied to Graduatenurse14's topic in General Nursing

    I've used Dream Dinners in the past. About an hour, meals for a month. It's just me, so I get plenty of use out of them. Sometimes I pony up the extra $25 to have them made for me, and then I just...

    Who Should Clean Up, Offgoing Shift or Oncoming Shift?

    Rose_Queen replied to Kooky Korky's topic in General Nursing

    The way I read that post is that the phone itself has the note put on it and slid under the door. After all, how would OP be taking pictures without a phone? I can't imagine standard cameras would be...

    Is the NCLEX "easy"?

    Rose_Queen replied to kristibelle11's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    If said person didn't go to college or nursing school, then exactly what frame of reference does said person even had to make such a statement? Ignore it and move

    LPN being forced to introduce self to pt's as a CNA

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

    As long as OP holds an LPN license, then there is no acting outside of scope of practice. Job description, on the other hand, my be different. Regardless of whether OP is holding a job title of CNA or...

    Honest question to working Nurses

    Rose_Queen replied to dedicated_2b_RN's topic in Nursing Career

    Why so much negativity? Well, think about people in general: are they more likely to complain or compliment? Then take into account the fact that AN provides a measure of anonymity and understanding-...

    CRNA and the different fields.

    Rose_Queen replied to CardiacDork's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    OR nurse, not CRNA. How it works at my facility is that the CRNAs do not specialize. They work in all types of surgeries and procedures we provide- OB/GYN, uro, general, vascular, neuro, ortho,...

    Med-Surg first or OR?

    Rose_Queen replied to Yive's topic in Nursing Career

    I went straight to the OR out of school. Med surg experience is not going to translate into the OR- we're our own specialty. And unless you go to the floor within a year or two of starting in the OR,...

    Operating Room Nurse: Roles

    Rose_Queen replied to BethCNOR's topic in Operating Room

    I've only ever seen it where a nurse works the shift in one area, either preop, intraop, or postop. In some facilities, nurses may be cross trained to work in all three areas, but they will not be...

    What's Rude?

    Rose_Queen replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Around here, 5 over the limit will get you tailgated in the slow lane. Driving slower than traffic flow in the non-slow lane is rude. If you aren't passing anyone, you belong in the right

    What do you call the tracking device nurses sometimes wear?

    LAB VALUES

    Rose_Queen replied to Aqua_nars's topic in General Nursing

    Wouldn't that be where nursing judgment comes into play? The way the OP worded it made it sound like she/he would just go ahead with one of those options (What should I do)- where's the provider in...

    Why did you decide to become a nurse?

    Rose_Queen replied to sd610's topic in General Nursing

    Decent $ without a lot of school/debt and flexibility- I started college as a premed major then decided I didn't want to spend that much time and money on

    RN or practitioner

    Rose_Queen replied to Ashtimus Prime's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    What do you want to do with your career? I have zero interest in becoming a practitioner, so I won't take that path. It doesn't matter what other people think; what matters is where your interests...

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

    There are many posts on the PVT in the NCLEX forum. Some were accurate, some were not. You will need to wait for official results. Until then, do something for you- you've spent all this time in...

    Employee home buying assistance

    Rose_Queen replied to stepbystep12's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, but it is within a very limited area (split into two regions) that isn't the best to live. $10,000 for one and $5,000 for the other. Must work for the facility for two years to be eligible and...

    Interviewing a nurse for school

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

    I am only going to answer number 9, and that is because the purpose of this type of assignment is to get out there and talk to people you can verify are nurses- that's impossible to do on an anonymous...

    Sweat that pools in the gluteal cleft, thus making the area swampy. We see it in the OR when we have to jack up the room temp- peds, trauma, some cardiac cases. It can get so bad you have to ask to be...
