    Boxes of Gloves

    Rose_Queen replied to Pprwrk's topic in General Nursing

    Well, if there's one place in the hospital where supplies are likely to be contaminated, it's the OR. We keep supplies in the room cabinets and definitely don't throw them out after each case. Glove...

    Which hospitals hire new grads into the ICU?

    Rose_Queen replied to Le2284's topic in General Nursing

    You need to research this in your own area. Look for job postings that state they are for new grad residencies or that new grads are welcome to apply. You've posted this in the general nursing forum-...

    Can I only ever work with children?

    Rose_Queen replied to mapajasa's topic in General Nursing

    Exactly. And even working in peds, you're going to have to deal with adults- these patients have parents, grandparents, and other relatives. If there's some sort of traumatic event you experienced,...

    Calling in for no sleep

    Rose_Queen replied to Nurse131382's topic in General Nursing

    The only time I've called in (which was in reality left ASAP) due to lack of sleep was when I worked a 24 hour shift due to call and was relieved when the OR staff arrived at 0700 to start the day. I...

    Optional for us, but they never gave us enough time. So, nobody did. Lots of body spray,

    5/21 WILTW: The journey sucks and the end isn't pretty either

    Rose_Queen replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    Been there, done that. Gotta love it when you're in the locker room, half changed to walk out the door, and you hear "any available cardiac staff call charge" Or when you're the call team and already...

    Jacob Rockstar-RN Psych Nurse Action Figure

    Rose_Queen replied to Davey Do's topic in Psychiatric

    Nah, that role's already filled by TSA during the grope & scope at airport security. The bathroom police need to find some originality. They are very lacking in that

    Accreditation

    Rose_Queen replied to mhutson84's topic in General Nursing

    ACEN and CCNE are the two national bodies that provide nursing program accreditation. Both offer searches on their websites. The other recommendation I have is to verify that the program is also...

    Patient Information Access Outside of the Facility?

    Rose_Queen replied to Klindse's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    What would be the purpose for a nurse to access charts outside of the facility and outside of work time? Once a nurse is off the clock, he/she has no responsibility for the patients cared for on the...

    Does accelerated programs prepare you to be a nurse?

    Rose_Queen replied to Ambreree's topic in General Nursing

    The information that must be learned and the minimum number of clinical hours is set by the BON. That means regardless of the program, all of that information must be covered. An accelerated program...

    Someone in my charts....

    Rose_Queen replied to Maevish's topic in General Nursing

    Just because "everyone does it" does not make it right. Unless the nurse in the chart has reason to be involved in care (including chart audits), he/she has no reason to be looking. If care is...

    Being blamed for fall after shift

    Rose_Queen replied to notyetnurse's topic in General Nursing

    Absolutely do the incident report or whatever your facility calls it. Risk management may be on your side and pressuring the powers that be to spend the money on the necessary equipment. I'm sure my...

    Pay Rate Jealousy

    Rose_Queen replied to Suga Moore's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    If you are a new nurse, and the CNAs in question have been CNAs for a long time, then why would it be an issue? If the facility has decided that a CNA salary ceiling is higher than the starting pay...

    license in another state

    Rose_Queen replied to amiss84's topic in General Students

    Each state sets its own fees for licensure. Yes, it's quite possible that AZ's licensure fee is $300 (just checked- yes, it is). Have you seen their packet for license by examination? It's got a lot...

    Working as a CNA after graduation?

    Rose_Queen replied to Scuba_NurseBSN's topic in Nursing Career

    You can still work as a CNA after graduation. If you have a temporary permit or if you continue to work as a CNA after you've been issued a nursing license, you will be held to the standards and...

    Is it okay for RN to ask recovery patients not to swear?

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

    I've seen many a patient in the PACU unleash some language only to apologize a few seconds later... and repeat the whole scenario a few minutes later. Not their norm, but anesthesia does affect some...

    Public Schools and transgender bathrooms.

    Rose_Queen replied to imintrouble's topic in School

    Sadly, that is the attitude of many in the area where the poster you quoted is from. There's a reason I'm very glad to have moved on from that area to a more accepting and less conservative

    compensation poll

    Rose_Queen replied to Sully64's topic in General Nursing

    BSN? You get to keep your job after 12/31/19. Certification? Nope. Clinical ladder? Yes, $1-$2 more per hour. But it's extremely difficult to get approved to move
