    Will it be a problem if you graduated from an non accredited school, technically don’t have your ASN but passed the NCLEX RN?

    Rose_Queen replied to Moonkitten's topic in School, College Programs

    Possibly, but it will likely make it harder to get into better employers and to make it possible to further your education- and many employers require a BSN up front or its completion within a set...

    ICU vs OR Residency

    Rose_Queen replied to NC_24's topic in First Year After Licensure

    No, and in fact there will likely be very few if any nursing schools that provide RNFA education- it is not for the entry level nurse. You can check out NIFA for info, as well as

    New Grad through COVID

    Rose_Queen replied to HelloSunshine545's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I think before you make any life altering decisions, you should first reach out to your employee assistance program. This is not an easy time to be a new grad (or a seasoned nurse, really!) and...

    Heart Rate Bouncing Up and Down

    Rose_Queen replied to halsey's topic in General Nursing

    One of the phrases often repeated in nursing school was “Treat the patient, not the monitor.” So yes, you would want to verify that what you’re seeing on the pulse ox is actually what’s going...

    Planning for after graduation

    Rose_Queen replied to luvnursing19's topic in General Nursing

    OK, let's talk licensure. A compact license requires you to have your legal residence in the state issuing the license. It's great for nurses who travel, work remotely where the job requires...

    Moving out of state after graduation

    Rose_Queen replied to MojoSpicolli's topic in General Students

    First, let's clear something up about NCLEX. There is no "their" NCLEX or "Illinois" NCLEX. The test is exactly the same regardless of where you take it. It's a once and done, no taking it for another...

    Rose_Queen replied to CardiTeleRN's topic in General Nursing

    $0.25/hour for each year of experience. And those new grads get a $2.50/hour raise after their 90 day probationary period. So really, I make $1.50/hour more than a new

    Over 120 patients total, about 80% unvaccinated. 16 in ICU, 15 of those unvaccinated. 10 on vents, all unvaccinated. 120+ patients is about 1/3 of our total beds. And that doesn’t include...
