    Where to go for continuing education?

    Rose_Queen replied to Decisions7's topic in General Nursing

    Not necessarily. My state specifies that if it is required by the employer, it may not be eligible for CEUs. I have to complete roughly 40 modules online every year. Not a single one of them comes...

    What should I wear to pick up paperwork on my day off?

    Rose_Queen replied to medapop's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with this. In my department, we change into hospital provided scrubs. People come in wearing all manner of things: regular scrubs, jeans/T-shirts, pajamas, sweats, business casual. But our...

    Where to go for continuing education?

    Rose_Queen replied to Decisions7's topic in General Nursing

    I prefer my specialty organization’s offerings as they are relevant to my practice area. Medscape is one I see used frequently- account required but I believe they have free offerings....

    Periop 101 Schedule

    Rose_Queen replied to newmom17's topic in Operating Room

    That $800 is likely the seat cost for Periop 101. Current prices are $995 per seat up to 10 seats purchased, then decreases slightly thereafter. Some places eat the cost of the program and consider...

    2 year commitment

    Rose_Queen replied to cr71890's topic in Operating Room

    I'm coming at this from the other side- my facility does not require a contract, and I can guarantee you that the tenured staff definitely wishes we did. We've seen so many come through, get the...

    Unfairness at work

    Rose_Queen replied to Loveishope1970's topic in General Nursing

    Not sure how it is in other facilities, but in mine PTO is granted by first come first served except prime time. If we need 5 nurses to staff the unit, then 5 nurses must work that day. If there are 8...

    How big of a deal are editions of books?

    Rose_Queen replied to lobo93's topic in General Students

    If it were one edition behind, that would be one thing. But three editions? That’s a lot of missing years and a lot will likely have changed since then. I just looked up the publication...

    Rose_Queen replied to Loveishope1970's topic in General Nursing

    For those days off that are an absolute must, refer to policy for how far in advance you can request and put a reminder in your calendar to request. Clearly 2 months was not early enough. I can...

    What is an Advanced Practice Role for an OR nurse?

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

    The surgeon groups I work with will use PAs and NPs interchangeably. So an NP could be the surgeon’s assistant as well as round on patients in the hospital and see patients in the office. We...

    ProCPR certification OK for Arizona RN's??

    Rose_Queen replied to Colleen8080's topic in General Nursing

    I would check with your facility's policy. My facility's policy states that we only accept AHA. During the worst of COVID in my area, they did extend a grace period of 90 days for those who expired...

    Nope. Many places don't even pay ADN and BSN differently. You would be wise to sit down with an academic advisor to discuss your options. You don't mention how far into a BS you are yet- if it's not...
