    Needle Stick- Diabetic Ulcer+Strep

    Rose_Queen replied to DreamerMW's topic in General Nursing

    You really need to read and follow your facility's policy. Not following the policy can lead to the employer denying any claims as there won't be documentation showing that it was a work related...

    Do you go to work with parabens on you?

    Rose_Queen replied to RNdynamic's topic in General Nursing

    And should have been asked in the OP to show that this isn't another out there post. No, I don't really consider it. But then, the only thing I wear to work that might contain parabens is deodorant. I...

    In need of advice before I sign up with Nursing institute only ABHES accredited!

    Rose_Queen replied to Tita22's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If the school is not CCNE or ACEN accredited, that can lead to issues with being able to further your education. In addition, there are some employers who are requiring not only a specified degree but...

    Dispelling the Myth: Magnet and the BSN

    Rose_Queen posted a topic in General Nursing

    You've heard it at work or read it somewhere: Magnet wants 80% of nurses to have a BSN. Is it true? Not really. What Magnet certification requires is that nurse leaders and nurse managers hold a BSN....

    Does your facility require a BSN?

    Rose_Queen replied to NurseEmmy's topic in Indiana Nursing

    And Magnet doesn't even have anything to do with BSN requirements. Another nursing myth that needs to be battled and vanquished. 80% of staff nurses holding a BSN comes from an IOM report on the...

    Rose_Queen replied to Hillary Uric's topic in Nursing Career

    There are several that come up with an internet search. I didn't go any further in-depth since I'm not home health, but the results were: Home Health Nurses Association National Association for Home...

    Pulseless VT/VT

    Rose_Queen replied to edvardsoz's topic in Cardiac

    Pulseless VT means the patient does not have a pulse. This is where you would do a defibrillation. VT with a pulse requires synchronized cardioversion because shocking unsynchronized can cause a shock...

    Solutions for Drinks at Nursing Station?

    Rose_Queen replied to ImNicoEh's topic in General Nursing

    Heck, I'd just settle for having enough equipment to go around. We've been taking some serious risks with our patients- not enough emergency equipment, not enough ICU beds, and not canceling...

    I only got about six SATA questions?

    Rose_Queen replied to jchristine89's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    The type of question is irrelevant, as questions of all types are written both above and below passing standard. What the test shutting off at 75 means is that within a 95% confidence level, you...

    Need some advice - am I that unreasonable?

    Rose_Queen replied to ACNPmomof2's topic in General Nursing

    Dang, and I thought I took a lot of call at 100 hours or so per pay period. I'd be running from that place. 24 days a month is unreasonable for full time, let alone part time. Bad management,...

    There is not a one size fits all study method. Have you taken a learning styles inventory to determine how you best learn? My personal favorite is the VARK questionnaire. Knowing your learning style...

    No pump, no drip rates - OR

    Rose_Queen replied to anathema's topic in General Students

    I work in the OR. For NS or LR, we do not use pumps. It is eyeballed- we do not count drips. Usually, we are going pretty much for just a KVO. It's access for the anesthesia drugs and preop...

    Call Back Pay and Overtime Hours

    I work OR. Our call back is separate from the regular hours used to determine overtime hours. So, I can get called in for 12 hours on a Sunday, be off on Monday for low census, and work the rest of my...
