    Bad management

    Rose_Queen replied to Jen4nursing's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    OP clarified that later. Still, yelling is not appropriate. There are other ways to communicate an emergency. And in fact, remaining calm and NOT yelling is essential in handling an emergency. Two...

    nursing diagnosis

    Rose_Queen replied to lpnstudent12344's topic in General Students

    The thing about nursing diagnosis is that it is based on the nursing assessment of the patient, not the medical diagnosis. I strongly disagree with instructors who hand out a medical diagnosis and...

    Hot spot/picture question

    Rose_Queen replied to djay11's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Questions of all types are written both above and below passing standard. Whether you get a certain number or type of question is irrelevant. What matters is that enough questions written above...

    Bad management

    Rose_Queen replied to Jen4nursing's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    If you don't give us the whole story, we can only go on what you give us. And you aren't exactly painting yourself in a good light. Yes, I've dealt with rude people. They're in all walks of life. I...

    Should nursing programs be extended?

    Rose_Queen replied to Libby1987's topic in General Nursing

    But that is the facility's choice and they have the right to make that requirement. What would you do to eliminate it? Pass a law? Make a CMS regulation about it? Good luck with

    Bad management

    Rose_Queen replied to Jen4nursing's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Yelling back is still not appropriate, nor is leaving the floor to continue yelling somewhere families won't hear. Sounds like you need to self reflect and work on some conflict resolution skills. The...

    Should nursing programs be extended?

    Rose_Queen replied to Libby1987's topic in General Nursing

    I honestly don't see any value in extending nursing programs. They already grant degrees; extending it will only lead to more degree inflation. Either the programs need to be restructured so that...

    Graduating w/ only 1 pair of scrubs

    Rose_Queen replied to Beldar_the_Cenobite's topic in General Nursing

    I'd like to see the evidence as well. Each hospital is different. In my town, my facility requires navy and/or white for nurses. The hospital across town requires burgundy and/or white for nurses....

    Bad management

    Rose_Queen replied to Jen4nursing's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    "Going outside" in my area means going out to settle it physically. In which case, that's a threat, not being mean. Count your blessings you weren't fired then and there. Completely unprofessional....

    Endorsement headache

    Rose_Queen replied to oncpalnurse's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    A nurse can hold as many different state licenses as s/he wishes (and can afford). That's how travelers can work in one state for 13 weeks and then move to another for the next contract if the states...

    ITT Tech closing ALL schools nationwide

    Rose_Queen replied to klone's topic in Nursing News

    And if everyone does go to college, who's left to do the jobs that don't require a degree? All those people who did go to college and are now fighting for those same jobs with a lot more people (if...

    nurses who are bad patients

    Rose_Queen replied to Mr. Murse's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Guess I'm making up for you? Not even to the recommended age yet and I've had several. And by recommended age, I mean the early recommended age due to family history. I am a bad patient in that I will...

    Package states that it does not contain diluent. Also states to "Reconstitute with 8mL...". I have never seen a med requiring reconstitution to be in anything but powder form (and if it isn't in...

    Hipaa

    Rose_Queen replied to Isaac86's topic in General Students

    That doesn't equate to being allowed to use the camera feature of the phone. Honestly, between this thread and your other thread, I'm hearing a lot of excuses. "We had permission to use our phones"....

    Rose_Queen replied to Isaac86's topic in General Students

    HIPAA? Not likely. Against school or facility policy? Probably. A threat to your school's continued presence for clinical experiences at that facility? Yep. At this point, all you can do is wait. It...

    I've never heard of anyone having to retake NCLEX after initial licensure. More likely is that she'll be required to take a refresher course. However, what she needs to do is contact the state BON and...
