    So I kind of messed up

    Rose_Queen replied to oopsmybad's topic in General Nursing

    I can still view their profile, and it shows they were active yesterday. It is the weekend, which is typically when AN sees fewer visitors. Could be we won't get an update until next

    New OR nurse who wants to quit in less than 6mos

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

    If that is stated in the contract, then the facility has breached the contract. You may want to consult an employment attorney for

    New OR nurse who wants to quit in less than 6mos

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

    It is impossible for nursing school to give an adequate glimpse into each specialty. Those schools who do provide observation days in the OR focus on the surgery, not the duties of the nurse. Seems to...

    New Grad in OR who wants to quit in less than 6 mo

    Rose_Queen replied to CaliNurseLouisiana's topic in Operating Room

    That is an unfairly fast pace to be expecting a brand new OR nurse to be able to circulate alone. Have you taken time to sit down with your supervisor or educator to discuss how you feel about how...

    LGBTQA health

    Rose_Queen replied to Kay105's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Here's a list of LGBT medical organizations in the US. GLMA is another resource. There aren't very many facilities dedicated solely to LGBT health, and the health disparities can be

    Kicked out of University of Phoenix

    Rose_Queen replied to sweetmya's topic in LPN to RN

    It is highly unlikely that you will find any school willing to accept another school's nursing credits. That is because while the state's BON sets what must be covered, each school has the ability to...

    APA Format

    Rose_Queen replied to workingh's topic in General Students

    It's not the use of Purdue OWL that's the issue. PERRLA is software- it basically formats your paper and references for you. All you have to do is type the body of the paper. Some schools view the use...

    Doctors answering services

    Rose_Queen replied to menot's topic in General Nursing

    The only time I deal with an answering service (via the hospital's paging system- we call them, they do the paging) is when I'm in the OR after hours. I can honestly say that the biggest issue is that...

    Why are Nurses and CNAs so mean/rude

    Rose_Queen replied to guest05/03/16's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    For somebody who flounced and said they were going to have their account deleted, they sure do hang out around here- only a mere 1.5 hours ago. I have a feeling that should OP continue on to nursing...

    APA Format

    Rose_Queen replied to workingh's topic in General Students

    Purdue OWL as mentioned above is excellent. If permitted by your school (some do consider the use of APA software as academic dishonesty), PERRLA is good as

    Nurses smoking weed?

    Rose_Queen replied to bunnynurse's topic in General Nursing

    It's already been posted in this thread that there are states where it's legal, people have been fired, and unsuccessfully sued. So, can you use it? If you get the proper documentation. Can you lose...

    Is this a hipaa violation?

    Rose_Queen replied to NurseRatchedTheBest's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    Is that person a healthcare professional participating in the care of the patient? No? Then they aren't covered by HIPAA. With all of these questions, it sounds like you would benefit from some...

    That's So Fetch! (Pink Wednesdays)

    Rose_Queen replied to Farawyn's topic in School

    I'm wearing pink and white socks. Close enough, right? Just like last week, wore the pink yesterday. One of these days I'll remember to save the pink for Wednesday. I won't hold my breath waiting for...

    Irrational patients

    Rose_Queen replied to Smilie0809RN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Was enough information provided to identify the patient? There are no names, dates, locations provided. This scenario can play out in every single hospital across the country and perhaps even the...

    So I kind of messed up

    Rose_Queen replied to oopsmybad's topic in General Nursing

    Considering the OP isn't even a nursing student yet, I can completely believe that they didn't grasp the potential consequences of taking someone else's prescription. To the average Joe, they don't...

    CVOR Certification?

    Rose_Queen replied to MereSanity's topic in Operating Room

    Ask your coworkers for their notes. We have a lot of scrubs who write a lot of notes down for each surgeon and type of case. Keep them on the computer to update them with changes and are very willing...

    Does TX have any regulations about reporting misdemeanors? If you are required to report and fail to do so, that can result in disciplinary actions against your TX license. Any disciplinary actions...

    Tips for first semester?

    Rose_Queen replied to futurenursenan's topic in General Students

    The first tip I always think students need is to know how they learn. It's a big change and a big reality check when transitioning from public/private education in high school and before to the adult...
