    Texas to California License

    Rose_Queen replied to Elena0904's topic in General Nursing

    NCLEX is a national exam. It is not state specific and you can take it anywhere it's offered. What matters is where you apply for licensure - graduating, taking NCLEX, and becoming licensed is a...

    Questioning staying in the OR

    Rose_Queen replied to kglancaster's topic in Operating Room

    Um. That is NOT OK and it is definitely not like that everywhere. I cannot imagine management at the places I've worked not terminating someone for intentional misuse of the pulse lavage like that!...

    How long did it take for you to know if you were going to like being a circulator?

    Rose_Queen replied to RatherBHiking's topic in Operating Room

    What I've found is that nurses who come to the OR with experience in another nursing area struggle more, mentally and emotionally, than new grads. It's simply because the nurse goes from being...

    Advice please on this HIPAA concern

    Rose_Queen replied to IreneTouTheou's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    To be a HIPAA violation, you must be a covered entity, ie, providing care for the patient as the nurse/hospital. They are your family member. HIPAA does not apply, even if you didn't have permission...

    How do you pick a nursing specialty?

    Rose_Queen replied to Ts2906's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I went into nursing school thinking I wanted to work in labor and delivery or pediatrics. I realized I was very, very wrong once I got to experience those clinicals. I was fortunate enough to shadow a...

    Why do I struggle more with younger nurses than older crusty nurses?

    New Grad-Med/Surg or Specialty

    Rose_Queen replied to Heather02128's topic in Nurse Residency Programs

    This is going to be a combination of personal choice and employer availability. In my view, med/surg is itself a specialty- after all, it has its own certification and skill set. Can it provide a...

    BSN- Is it Worth It?

    Rose_Queen replied to Heather02128's topic in Nurse Residency Programs

    Second job at same hospital

    Rose_Queen replied to nampa1's topic in Nursing Career

    1. Some do it for extra money, others do it to keep up clinical skills, others do it to keep a foot in the door at two facilities. For example, several nurses in my OR dropped to PRN to travel during...

    My locker in OR has no lock-what to do with my driver's license, credit cards?

    Rose_Queen replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    Even if others aren't using locks, most if not all locker handles are set up to accept a lock. You can always pick one up for your locker. I leave my locker unlocked overnight when all that's in there...

    Can chart audits be a HIPAA violation?

    Rose_Queen replied to George001's topic in General Nursing

    Let's go for concrete evidence instead of "Now, this sounds like a clear HIPAA violation in my head,” What statute within HIPAA do you think would make this a violation? What statute(s) would make...
