    What is your opinion on getting the flu shot?

    Rose_Queen replied to Surg-OncRN's topic in Holistic

    But are you willing to accept the consequences of not being eligible for hire or continued employment? No one is saying that anyone is being forced to accept a vaccination they don't want; they are...

    I'm a new nurse and I feel like quitting :'(

    Rose_Queen replied to NurseGee2016's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Exactly. Just ran into one of these scenarios myself as a preceptor. My teaching style and the new nurse's learning style didn't match at all. Fortunately, there was another preceptor who took over...

    Organ Donation Organization Unethical

    Rose_Queen replied to dangerous1's topic in General Nursing

    Actually, the way I interpret the OP is that the family said no before the OPO was called, meaning someone on the care team might have discussed organ donation with the family. That, to me, is more of...

    RNFA vs PA

    Rose_Queen replied to lxiong's topic in General Nursing

    RNFA does not require an advanced practice degree; therefore, an RNFA is not necessarily a midlevel practitioner. Outside of the OR, an RNFA does not have any kind of an expanded role. However, a PA...

    Not firing a nurse for being unsafe

    Rose_Queen replied to db2xs's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    And with those with lesser degree incidences it may have been the latest in a string of issues. Again, you cannot know what is in other employees' disciplinary file. It is a confidential matter, and...

    Do you ever resent your job(s)?

    Rose_Queen replied to purplegal's topic in General Nursing

    If you aren't happy, you need to change the circumstances. If that means leaving one job so that you have time, so be it. It's not the job that makes you unhappy; it's you current life

    I'm the Only One Doing Assessments?

    Rose_Queen replied to SunnyPupRN's topic in General Nursing

    Well, patients do have the right to refuse. However, falsified documentation is still not

    Senior Nursing Students - When do you apply for RN positions?

    Rose_Queen replied to kingvonnBSN2017's topic in General Students

    Like Ruby Vee said, check out the websites for job postings. Some of the online applications won't allow the applicant to proceed without a valid license number entered in. In that case, you...

    ER deaths

    Rose_Queen replied to ToriAneal's topic in Emergency

    We once had the father of an employee come in as a trauma. He didn't make it out of the OR. We've also had some pretty traumatic experiences for staff involving extremely young patient deaths. The...

    Case study - me.

    Rose_Queen replied to Zooey72's topic in General Students

    You need to discuss your concerns with your provider. There can be many different factors involved and you need to go directly to the source for

    The 2025 Doctoral change CRNA

    Rose_Queen replied to DustyJacks's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    All I can find is this: I have a feeling it's going to be much like the BSN entry to practice

    Organ Donation Organization Unethical

    Rose_Queen replied to dangerous1's topic in General Nursing

    But asking the patient those questions before it gets to the point of time to actually procure the organs is a whole different ball park than the healthcare team caring for a patient who is declared...

    In nursing school when can you start applying for jobs?

    Rose_Queen replied to nevergiveup2016's topic in General Nursing

    Apply for jobs as long as you meet the minimum requirements. If a posting/application states that a license is required (and there are some facilities that use software where if you don't input a...

    AAS then Diploma

    Rose_Queen replied to NurseSeezieq's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    The facility doing the hiring isn't going to care about any non-nursing degrees- that general AAS is not going to give you any edge over another nurse with a diploma. Research what the job postings in...

    Organ Donation Organization Unethical

    Rose_Queen replied to dangerous1's topic in General Nursing

    But why is the nurse or any other provider in the care team discussing organ donation with the patient's family? That is not their role and why the third party exists- to provide that separation from...

    GN permit for a new grad

    Rose_Queen replied to Daking0825's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Not in many job markets anymore. With many areas seeing a glut of new grads, hospitals can be choosy about what qualifications they will consider. For a lot of areas, that means a full RN license and...

    GN permit for a new grad

    Rose_Queen replied to Daking0825's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    The GN is a bit of a relic from the days of having to wait months for board results that were offered only twice a year. Many facilities have moved away from hiring GNs because if they hire someone...

    Clairvia

    Rose_Queen replied to Pxw31's topic in General Nursing

    It's a scheduling program. It would appear OP has mistaken a new thread as a search. OP, these are things you need to find out from your employer as each employer will be different. I cannot access...

    Nurse in a bar... Should you help?

    Rose_Queen replied to crc2015's topic in General Students

    But the vast majority of nurses are not trained as first responders. Here's an example of someone who stopped at an accident and ended up becoming a second victim. There's a difference between...

    IV infusion

    Ah. Sorry, thought you were referring to using IV pumps to calculate rates when you said hospital machines. But yes, apps that allow for entering multiple drugs will be a time

    Career Change-confused!!

    Rose_Queen replied to Aspiring_RN_'s topic in General Nursing

    Wow. Just wow. Caring for one person as a nurse is completely different than caring for someone as a family member. As for your comment about "what do you know about caring for more than one patient...

    Organ Donation Organization Unethical

    Rose_Queen replied to dangerous1's topic in General Nursing

    That is your opinion. The "third party" has had special training and education to handle the act of speaking with families about organ donation. I highly doubt your facility has chosen to proceed in...

    Linguistic Pet Peeves

    Trouble getting into CVICU

    Rose_Queen replied to 8-ball's topic in Travel

    But did you already have some ICU experience? My facility doesn't even separate MICU and SICU; it's all one unit. However, only select nurses have been trained to take post-op cardiac surgery patients...

    Career Change-confused!!

    Rose_Queen replied to Aspiring_RN_'s topic in General Nursing

    And you will also find those willing to blow smoke. No one here has been rude, although some of OP's posts have been a bit borderline (HUN? really?). No one is trying to dissuade OP from applying to...
