    I suck at APA style and lack motivation to complete my BSN

    Rose_Queen replied to empatheticRN's topic in General Nursing

    APA resources: Purdue OWL PERRLA If you're waiting until the last minute, that's another problem. You need to find some way to motivate yourself to start earlier. Mark a date on your calendar for...

    Experienced nurses, How do you tell your supervisor?

    Rose_Queen replied to Fireflynurse's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Re: no breaks. What are the laws regarding breaks? Pretty sure the law states that they are to get one uninterrupted or they must be compensated. If they are denied breaks, are they paid? Could end up...

    Worried for new lpn job.

    Rose_Queen replied to Alexisanne293's topic in Nursing Career

    Well, if you want respect, don't start out by saying "if they are working for me". They are not working for you; they are working with you. Start out by having that attitude. Take your cues from your...

    Welcome to AN! If you need motivation, perhaps the best course for you to proceed would be with an in-person review course. It isn't free, there are classes to show up for, and that may help with you...

    Entitlement/ superiority attitude of some nurses?

    Rose_Queen replied to Infofreak411's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    More like, quick, eat before we find out that the emergency they're scoping out while we finished the last case is really going to need surgery! And that's call back time, so it's exempt from that...

    Do Bachelor's Degrees Save Lives? - The Facts about Earning a BSN

    Rose_Queen replied to Rasmussen University's topic in General Nursing

    I don't like the whole push to force nurses back into school to complete a BSN later in life. In fact, many in my facility have decided that they will retire early rather than return to school if the...

    Rose_Queen replied to cmp137's topic in Operating Room

    I believe you can, but they are not cheap. Not sure if they'd be covered by insurance- check with yours to see what they allow. Does your facility not offer a face shield mask that is anti-fog? If...
