  1. Rns working for surgery centers

    roser13 replied to Emmaburn's topic in General Nursing

    All of the RN positions in my ASC require experience. The pre/post-op RN's also rotate into PACU. We are all ACLS & PALS certified. Our pay scale is the same scale as the larger hospital system...

  2. LPN?

    roser13 replied to Doglover109's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    MA has nothing to do with the field of nursing. That's why there is no transition. Your local for-profit school will tell you otherwise as they try to sell you a $60,000 Associate's Degree in Medical...

  3. LPN?

    roser13 replied to Doglover109's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you want to be a Registered Nurse, go for it. Do not spend time & resources on an LPN license. As as I mentioned in my previous post, obtaining your LPN license places you on a different...

  4. LPN?

    roser13 replied to Doglover109's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    LPN IS a nurse. It's not necessarily a stepping stone to RN. LPN's have separate bridging programs to RN, so the technically correct answer to your question is no: Having an LPN license will not...

  7. What's Your Best Nursing Ghost Story?

    roser13 replied to steffck's topic in General Nursing

  8. ICU pay differential?

    roser13 replied to Mr. Murse's topic in Critical Care

    Med/Surg is a specialty as well. Any ICU nurses that have ever floated to a MS floor will tell you that they were as out of their element as a MS nurse is in the ICU. Different specialty, different...

  9. ICU pay differential?

    roser13 replied to Mr. Murse's topic in Critical Care

    Haha! In this case you could be right either way. The union could have effected (brought about) a raise. OR A union could have an affect on nursing

  10. ICU pay differential?

    roser13 replied to Mr. Murse's topic in Critical Care

    A union might Effect (bring about) a differential. A union might have an Affect (influence) on ICU

  11. New Nurse - No Job!

    roser13 replied to MissRN_Dior's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I would not even consider this option, if I were you. IF you can even find a facility that would consider this, you would be held to the standards of practice of your licensure (RN), while performing...

  12. When A Nurse Needs A Doctor.....

    roser13 replied to nurse2211's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I've always chosen to use co-worker surgeons/anesthesiologists for myself and my family. Knowing so much about who's good and who's not is one of the perks of my job. I also like knowing that...

  13. VRE

    roser13 replied to tjarvis's topic in General Nursing

    Sorry I came across as harsh. I hope you'll admit that your post did appear as if you were asking the forum for clinical advice. Believe it or not, folks do come here and ask total strangers how to...

    roser13 replied to MissyWrite's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Missywrite, I am an avid follower of your Ebola updates. What can/should those of us in non-union states with thus-far nonexistent Ebola experience do to

  16. VRE

    roser13 replied to tjarvis's topic in General Nursing

    I am always aghast at questions that indicate that a practicing nurse is making decisions AT WORK while relying on an Internet forum. Nurses are REQUIRED by their licensure to make decisions based...

    roser13 replied to MissyWrite's topic in Disaster Preparation

    roser13 replied to naomi15's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Homework question? We prefer not to do your homework because that would impair your learning process. Not to mention: what if some random non-medical person on here decides to mess with you and...

  19. Quitting the profession

    roser13 replied to Dewman's topic in General Nursing

    As a proud COB, I wonder who will be around to take care of me when I need care? Surely not the glorified MA's that my doctors' offices are hiring instead of nurses? Surely not the off-the-street...

  20. COBs...what do you think about the handling of the Ebola outbreak

    roser13 replied to richardgecko's topic in Disaster Preparation
