  1. Verde Valley Medical Center.. New Grad Openings

    AZMOMO2 posted a topic in Arizona Nursing

    Just an FYI... this is an odd time to be starting but hey here is the info for those of you that may qualify. New Graduate RN/Re-Entry Training Program - VVMC (October 2012) Verde Valley Medical...

  2. IV piggyback question

    AZMOMO2 replied to takemethere123's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Are you sure they are asking for the maintenance rate? Did they give you a weight or protocol? I imagine they were using that as a diversion of information, because isn't the import part that the IVPB...

  3. Help with flow rate question

    AZMOMO2 replied to LCinTraining's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    10(drip factor) X 100(ml) / 60 (minutes in an hour) = 16.66 = 17

  4. What would you say to this shocking patient statement?

    AZMOMO2 replied to aboucherrn's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I wouldn't have said anything because you can't fix stupid... but I would have made sure her doctor was exactly as described and continued to be so... so she would leave AMA from my department as...

  5. LVNs say they are equal to RNs...how true is this? much more schooling...

    AZMOMO2 replied to jewelspassion's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Are you saying that the LPNs come into your program after you have already completed two semesters and you wonder how that is possible? If they come in as an LVN/LPN already, it's because they have...

  6. MA license/working but living in another state?

    AZMOMO2 replied to CaptScrubs13's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    I am pretty sure the licence is just about the place that you work... aka use it. If you work in Mass you need to be licensed in Mass... if you work in New Hampshire you need to be licensed there or...

  7. Have I Committed Career Suicide?

    AZMOMO2 replied to KaressaD's topic in First Year After Licensure

    The weird thing is that sometimes it does take a while to get that first new grad position after getting an ASN, that most employers may not even notice the GAP. You could say you have been applying...

  8. 8s vs 12s; night shift or day shift?

    AZMOMO2 replied to wish_me_luck's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I think 3 12's on nights is easier to learn than on the busy day shift. I have so many friends who have told me that they felt overwhelmed and run ragged working 5 days a week in the beginning. You...

  9. RN preceptorship

    AZMOMO2 replied to 03RN21's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Did you try the VA or County? Since they are teaching facilities it may be easier to come by the Education Departments to get your Preceptorship sponsor. Although... around here you are competing with...

  10. LTC Nurses... please answer

  11. Keep missing the SATA questions on school exams!

    AZMOMO2 replied to UmmIbrahim's topic in General Students

    I feel your pain... When I took the NCLEX-PN I got a TON of SATA... and I still suck at them, but passed the boards non the less so I guess I did OK. Although I do seem to still suck at them in RN...

  12. Senior year clinicals?

    AZMOMO2 replied to sjbrk's topic in General Students

    For regular clinicals for senior year we don't get to chose what floor because we have Psych, Critical Care and Emergency Care... so obviously those floors are pretty much picked out. However, we...

  13. I want to be a CNA but I feel discouraged.

    AZMOMO2 replied to 5ummer's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    If you can try and get a CNA job at the hospital level instead of the Nursing Home Level, it changes the job satisfaction in most people a lot. Not going to fool you it's tough work and thankless a...

  14. Not willing to do the dirty work?

    AZMOMO2 replied to stratus93's topic in General Students

    In my LPN program we all had to be CNA's to get in. During LPN clinicals, No I did not want to make a million beds and give a million showers, and change a million diapers... I had already learned...

  15. Do you feel like a babysitter?

    AZMOMO2 replied to faithtra's topic in Private Duty

    YES! LOL... I have had cases as a HHN in Peds that I literally felt like my entire job was babysitting. I had a case that the parents did all the meds and the "nurse" was there to sit on the floor and...

  16. How to protect my license in SNF?

    AZMOMO2 replied to ProudNeWRN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    As long as you personally follow policy and do NOT cut corners and do not intentionally hurt or neglect a resident, as long as you maintain your practice within the Board of Nursing's scope related to...

  17. Is an Associate's degree a waste of time?

    AZMOMO2 replied to grantchatt's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Once upon a time I would have said NO... but after looking at all of the BSN only, BSN preferred, Don't even think of applying here if you don't have a BSN... ads... well... it is very disheartening....

  18. HIPPA violation?

    AZMOMO2 replied to tellafriend's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    Not a HIPPA violation because she does not access patient information, the nurses though, can not be discussing patient information with her there, because that is. Now it could be a policy of the...

  19. Made it through three night shifts on my own...then...

    AZMOMO2 replied to LaRoseRN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    The important thing is you took responsibility for your mistake, you will remember next time and every time after that to triple check and then some. Most importantly give yourself a break. Real life...

  20. Is 1 year exp. enough to start applying again?

    AZMOMO2 replied to gloryfied's topic in General Nursing

    I heard they want at least 1 year but they don't count the first 3 months because most people are on orientation for that time... so more likely to get interest in your experience at the 18 month...

  21. 3 to 5 days training enough in ltc?

    AZMOMO2 replied to NewLPN11's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Very standard and about as much as you can expect to get. You can always ask questions once you are on your own about anything that you are not sure on, but the standard is pushing the med cart,...

  22. Nobody told me that after graduation...

    AZMOMO2 replied to smclean27's topic in General Nursing

    I find it hard to believe that you had no idea. On this site there are MANY posts and threads dedicated to the scarce amount of nursing jobs and the lack of employment for all of the new grads around...

  23. When Do You Start Fall Semester?

    AZMOMO2 replied to Exhaustipated's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    8/20 Phx AZ Block 4 aka Senior

  24. LPN starting ADN in Fall!!

    AZMOMO2 replied to LPNSWEETHEART's topic in LPN to RN

    Are you then just doing pre/co reqs for the RN now? If so that was pretty easy with working as an LPN less hectic than the nursing program. However, now that I am working fulltime nights as an LPN (3...

  25. Why should we pick you?

    AZMOMO2 replied to nursingstudent2458's topic in General Students

    Because I will raise your NCLEX pass rate? LOL No just joking. I would have had no idea really. I hate that question. Glad where I went and am going to Nursing school was not an interview based...
