    HIPAA violation in the work place?

    Rose_Queen replied to Larry2016's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    Nah, probably autocorrect. Mine really likes to mess with medical words, including HIPAA- which I just had to delete and retype because it did indeed get automatically changed to hippo again. OP, you...

    What class in nursing school do they teach you surgical procedures?

    Rose_Queen replied to xmilkncookiesx's topic in General Students

    Nursing school just can't give a glimpse into each and every nursing specialty out there. They aim to teach you the nursing basics- and surgery isn't part of that. However, as Jensmom said, you may...

    BS+RN+??=MSN?

    Rose_Queen replied to pistolpete02's topic in General Nursing

    There are RN-MSN programs that don't require a BSN to apply. Some of them will award a BSN during the coursework; others don't. The primary difference is the number of courses required. Because I...

    What have you learned in nursing school that was utter nonsense?

    Rose_Queen replied to TheMiss's topic in General Nursing

    And don't forget how the instructors harped on the possibility of losing your license- and yet, the most common way to lose your license is

    Rose_Queen replied to los0908's topic in General Students

    Okay, first things first: how do you learn best? If it's not by reading, then studying and reading the textbook isn't your best path. Studying isn't about quantity; rather, it's about quality. Have...

    Any nurse anesthetists out there?

    Welcome to AN! I've asked to have your thread moved to the student nurse anesthetist forum, which you can find here. I'm sure you'll find lots of helpful information in the dedicated

    Answering Call Lights

    Rose_Queen replied to Laurus Nobilis's topic in Medical-Surgical

    My hospital implemented this several months ago. Anyone with an ID badge is supposed to answer any call light they pass. I don't, and neither do most of the people who are in units that they aren't...

    My brother's life was actually spared by not wearing a seatbelt. If he had, he would have been crushed to death. Instead, he was vaulted over the center console into the passenger seat and only...

    is it possible to get part time OR job w/ no exp?

    Rose_Queen replied to BHRN85's topic in Operating Room

    How part time are you talking? It is going to take several months of full time orientation to provide an adequate basis in OR nursing. Working part time would not be conducive to becoming a competent...

    Rose_Queen replied to hkkane's topic in Operating Room

    Generally, nurses are not hired as "scrub nurses". They are hired as OR nurses who can circulate or scrub- they would be expected to fulfill both roles. In the scrub role, there really isn't a...

    Graduating nursing school but I just want to scrub

    Rose_Queen replied to Axmann, RN, BSN, NREMT-B's topic in Operating Room

    One thing to keep in mind: even if a facility were willing to hire you below your highest licensure, you will be held to the level of the highest license you hold. At just 4-5 months from graduation,...

    Accreditation questions about two schools in Tampa Bay.

    Rose_Queen replied to Alewis11's topic in General Students

    Are these programs BSN or higher degree? CCNE only accredits baccalaureate and graduate programs. I do see Rasmusen on ACEN's accreditation site though. Is the Utica College the same school as the one...

    Rose_Queen replied to Jaellys's topic in General Nursing

    The doctor has the credentials to provide orders, so there shouldn't be an issue there. Yes, you called the wrong person. It most likely won't be the last time. In the scheme of things, this is a tiny...
