    No, it is not true that getting 265 questions automatically equals a failure. People pass at 75 questions, 265 questions, and every number of questions in between. People fail at 75 questions, 265...

    Rose_Queen replied to OUxPhys's topic in Operating Room

    Same role in most facilities. A lot of who scrubs is determined by what the facility is willing to pay- STs are way cheaper. In my facility, their maximum salary is lower than the minimum salary for...

    The first question I'm going to ask is what were you watching during that knee replacement? Was it the surgery or what the nurse was doing? If it was the surgery, I highly suggest following an OR...

    If the contract states that you are to receive a set amount of training and it was not provided, then the facility may have breached the contract. You should speak with an attorney familiar with...

    Rose_Queen replied to Haleiwa's topic in General Students

    I don't agree with the forced donation, but can see where it's something nonrefundable. They should hold it for her until she graduates and earns the right to wear it or allow her to designate someone...

    Have any of your patients ever told you that you're a good nurse?

    Rose_Queen replied to EquinoxSolstice92's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations
