    Transfer

    Rose_Queen replied to BSN2b_JP's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You will need to discuss this with the school you intend to transfer to. Be sure to have the course syllabus and description. When my sister transferred schools, they were going to make her retake a...

    Disturbing Conversation on Overweight Healthcare Workers

    Rose_Queen replied to FutureDNP2021's topic in General Nursing

    Oh, goody, this topic again. The day that nurses have a job that actually facilitates healthy habits is the day they can start worrying about overweight nurses. Cafeterias that serve crap empty...

    Breakroom refrigerator theft

    Rose_Queen replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Um, no thanks. My "desk" is in an OR, where there are bits and pieces of people's bodies and fluids flying around. Literally. Once had a surgeon who got some pericardial fat stuck to his glove that he...

    That's So Fetch! (Pink Wednesdays)

    Rose_Queen replied to Farawyn's topic in School

    Crap. I wore pink today. Because I'm running out of clean clothes. Do laundry tonight and wear same (but clean) shirt tomorrow, or have to sit at the uncool table? Or, since I don't have time to do...

    where to start after graduation

    Rose_Queen replied to tristalent's topic in General Nursing

    I think you'll be getting a variety of opinions on your questions. I am of the opinion that med/surg is a specialty in its own right- it has its own specialty certification, after all. Would you...

    Need help with a dosage problem?

    Rose_Queen replied to gislb's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Plutonium, you do realize that you've taken so many extra unnecessary steps here right? The simplest way to do this is either the D/H x V or figuring out how many mg/mL. Wether you have 50g in 1L or...

    Need help with a dosage problem?

    Rose_Queen replied to gislb's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    That's one way to do it, but does include extra steps. The formula desired (2g)/ have (50g) x volume (1000mL) would have given you the same answer in fewer steps. D/H x V was always an acceptable...

    Is the heart team worth it?

    Rose_Queen replied to BCooper77's topic in Operating Room

    I don't think you'll find a norm because every facility is different. One facility in my area only requires one call shift per week, and that team is only responsible for emergencies. Case runs past...

    Need help with a dosage problem?

    You might want to check your first sentence... Im coming up with that answer too. OP, first you need to figure out what information in the problem you need and what information is a distractor. But...

    Roll Call 2016-2017

    Rose_Queen replied to Farawyn's topic in School

    Not a school nurse, but I'm in here stalking y'all. In a good way. Is it still Pink Wednesday or are we going to convert to blue like Old Dude did, the traitor that he

    Breakroom refrigerator theft

    Rose_Queen replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Well, somebody invented the refrigerator locker, so it must be pretty common unfortunately. Had this issue in our break room once- we all knew who the culprit was, but had no proof. Oddly enough, once...

    This is a discussion board. Once you hit the post button, you no longer have control of the replies. It's how message boards work. No, you aren't going to hear only what you want to hear. Opinion...

    Help, possible needlestick

    Rose_Queen replied to bea1724's topic in Health, Stress Management

    Asking if I think your risk is lower is bordering on medical advice. If you can't get the answers you seek from your healthcare provider, you can always make an appointment with someone else to...

    Always, always, always follow procedures and protocols! No matter how intimidating, you should have reported this to your instructor as soon as it happened. Please be sure to do this should a...

    Judge Sends Man to Prison Because He Can't Pay Hospital Bill

    Rose_Queen replied to SunnyPupRN's topic in Nursing News

    It would appear the article was updated with the additional information about the court since I first read it. Yes, that would be unconstitutional to force people to waive their right to...

    Judge Sends Man to Prison Because He Can't Pay Hospital Bill

    Rose_Queen replied to SunnyPupRN's topic in Nursing News

    Actually, the title of the article doesn't mention owing hospital bills. That was completely on the AN member who shared the article with a thread title that is very misleading. I wouldn't attack the...

    Cardiac drips on a med/surg floor

    Rose_Queen replied to tokmom's topic in Medical-Surgical

    0:0 because that patient is getting transferred to ICU. Any patient on any vasoactive drip automatically buys a transfer to critical care. The only drip that doesn't require ICU is

    First Nursing Job

    Rose_Queen replied to fishofthesky's topic in Operating Room

    No place should be counting that 3 month final placement as OR experience. As a student, you were not (or at least should not) have been acting in the role of the nurse- there are things that only a...

    You came here asking for advice; just because you seem to not agree with that advice doesn't mean it's not valid. This article lists NCLEX pass rates- ITT Tech Breckenridge, with the exception of 1...
