    9-11 - Where were You? What were You Doing?

    Rose_Queen replied to traumaRUs's topic in Nursing News

    I was in organic chem lab. The instructor gathered us together after it ended to tell us what was going on. I sat in the student union building watching it on television between classes- the school...

    assignment help

    Rose_Queen replied to simarpal's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Were there any grading guidelines that were given with the assignment? That should help guide you in what the instructor is looking for. You can also make an appointment with your instructor for...

    License is Expired

    Rose_Queen replied to cmh1118's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    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...

    Vanco and TPN

    Rose_Queen replied to Themajesticfemale's topic in Patient Medications

    Does your facility provide access to a compatibility resource? What about contacting the pharmacist? Policy and procedure manual? There are many resources available for nurses to use- and they can...

    "What type of nurse?"

    Rose_Queen replied to Pixosaurus Rex's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Keep an open mind while you're in school. I went in thinking I wanted to do L&D or peds. They were actually my least favorite clinicals. Experience as much as you can while a student, and then use...

    feeling like a failure

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

    Some employers won't hire anyone who smokes. They include a nicotine test as part of the preemployment requirements. Some places may not include it; other places may have even more requirements that...

    feeling like a failure

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

    And until you have that official job offer in hand (written!), never assume you have a position. Even then, there are still a few hoops to jump through- the preemployment physical, drug screen,...

    Vp shunt removal

    Rose_Queen replied to Nursenicole103180's topic in General Nursing

    These are questions the person needs to clarify with their healthcare team. They are the ones with access to her medical record and who know her. They will be able to provide information on her unique...

    Good Pop Up, But Failed?

    Rose_Queen replied to rachanne1031's topic in General Students

    If you search through the NCLEX forum, you will find many topics on the so-called PVT. Yes, it has been incorrect for some people. However, at this point the best thing you can do is take some time...

    Help dealing with struggles and competition?

    Rose_Queen replied to mhnu's topic in General Students

    Have you tried joining a study group? What about taking advantage of your instructor's office hours to get help? Tutoring services offered by the school? There is a wealth of resources out there for...

    Is the heart team worth it?

    Rose_Queen replied to BCooper77's topic in Operating Room

    I disagree. If you don't have the exposure, you're not going to know it. Put me in a neuro room with those specialty beds? I'm completely lost. The idea that if you can do hearts you can do anything...

    Problems w/student mentor

    Rose_Queen replied to RuralMedicCityRN's topic in Western Governors University

    Are any of these courses prerequisites for the others? It is not often that students can simply dictate the order of the classes they want; there is a set sequence by the school (I do not have any...

    Nursing school decision

    Rose_Queen replied to Leslieg_78's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It is extremely possible to work part time while in school. Many nursing students do it now/did it in the past. I worked basically full time (double shifts on weekends) all throughout all but the last...

    was my last nclex question correct?

    Rose_Queen replied to 120189's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    TOS and Pearson do not allow for the posting of questions from an exam. Also, why the fixation on whether the last question was correct? If it wasn't a question above passing standard, right or wrong...

    Forced to get flu shot or wear a mask

    Rose_Queen replied to nurse0614's topic in General Nursing

    I remember hospitals in the next city over having to set up tents that basically functioned as flu ERs. It was ugly. I really just don't understand people's resistance to vaccines. My local paper...

    epic documentation system

    Rose_Queen replied to Jilly2's topic in General Nursing

    Has your facility provided instruction? When mine went live with Epic, we had all completed 16 hours of training on the system. We also had assistance from many Epic employees who were there to help...

    Question about surgical technicians?

    Rose_Queen replied to Wanttobeamom's topic in Nursing News

    LifeNews is not an unbiased resource, so I would take anything they post with a grain of salt. My key reason to suspect? "may be used as a method of abortion" and the fact that they don't identify the...

    ITT Tech closing ALL schools nationwide

    Rose_Queen replied to klone's topic in Nursing News

    When we talk about accredited nursing programs, we are talking about accreditation through one of the two bodies that nationally accredit nursing programs and nothing but nursing programs: ACEN and...

    Forced to get flu shot or wear a mask

    Rose_Queen replied to nurse0614's topic in General Nursing

    I really dislike the use of the word forced. Nobody is going to run up and jam a needle into you or tie a mask on your face. It is simply a condition of employment, which the employer has the right to...

    ADN to BSN or straight BSN?

    Rose_Queen replied to Nurselizbeth's topic in Aesthetics

    Have you looked at job postings in the area? Their stated preferred or required qualifications may include degrees. That would be a good place to start. When researching schools, are you looking at...

    ITT/ Breckinridge No Longer Accepting New Students

    This is why it needs to be specified "by ACEN or CCNE". Those are not bought and paid for by the for profit schools who create the organizations so that they can claim

    As PP said, the size of the bag is irrelevant. All the info you need I pointed out above. Throwing in extra steps is only going to confuse you further. The VTBI is clearly stated in the

    IV pump setting

    Rose_Queen replied to mdiada's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Ok, first you need to figure out what exactly that problem is telling you. Pertinent information: 200mL 2 hours IV pumps, when calculating volumes rates, use mL/h. The order itself includes the VTBI;...
