  1. CNA scope of practice issue on my unit

    mrsboots87 replied to nurseredd's topic in General Nursing

    this quite simply is not true. Can you produce a source for you believing this. I can save you time and tell you that you will not find it. I I did a basic search of the nurse practice act for...

  2. Need advice

    mrsboots87 replied to MCNERRA's topic in General Nursing

    Just because a nurse is involved does not mean this has to do with nursing. You honestly need legal advice and probably help from police. None of that which can be given here as it is against TOS. I...

  3. Are Five Alternatives to ADHD Medication Right For You Or Your Child?

    mrsboots87 replied to brenanpeak's topic in General Nursing

    Thankfully the people responding beside 1 seem to be sensible enough to know this article is garbage. Seeing as nursing students frequent this site, it is shameful to allow such a poorly written one...

    mrsboots87 replied to Wsullivan's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Let Google be your friend. There are way to many nursing programs for anyone to just list them for you. Do your research. This will be a needed skill in nursing school so learn it now. All ll you...

  5. CNA's,Housekeeping and Dietary Aides make the same salary in LTC?

    mrsboots87 replied to PoppyLizz's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Firstly, CNAs are by far not the most important healthcare workers. Anybody can do their job. The tasks assigned do not take too much of a special knowledge and don't require a license. Only a...

  6. HIPPA

    mrsboots87 replied to kandi238's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    Not to be rude, but it's "HIPAA." And the answer to your question is no. You are legally aloud to the information required to do your job. This may include some PMH and stuff on the patient in order...

  7. peripheral IV flushing

    mrsboots87 replied to Lostinthisworld's topic in General Students

    Lienly no. Could it push a clot that was already formed? Sure. But this seems unlikely as an infusion had just completed. It honestly sounds like the IV probably infiltrated. But without being there,...

  8. Worried about drug screen

    mrsboots87 replied to studentnurse931's topic in General Students

    Also, keep in mind that whether a school usually does random tests or not, if you get injured at clinical then they definately WILL drug test you. That means you are one finger stick away from a UDS,...

  9. This makes me disappointed!

    mrsboots87 replied to Nursein2017's topic in General Students

    Everyone else has summed up my opinion on this. But I would like to agree with another poster that there are definitely still some hot doctors. I'm happily married, and even if I wasn't my goal in...

  10. Relocating to Arizona

    mrsboots87 replied to Sadern's topic in Arizona Nursing

    First, what part of AZ are you looking to move to and do you have a BSN? The answer to those two questions will result in pretty different answers. If if you have your eyes set on a hospital, the...

  11. Block 2

    mrsboots87 replied to mo99jrodgers's topic in Arizona Nursing

    For NCLEX review books, get multiple so they question style changes. And as you study, there will only be so many questions that apply to the topics you are on. Multiple books provide for more...

  12. Common meds given in LTC facilites? New nurse seeking advice

    mrsboots87 replied to Beautiful_Soul's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    ^^ THIS!! Lol. And don't forget Prilosec, tums, and digoxin. Lots of that. Ooh. And MVI. Residents LOVE their MVI where I

  13. Cleveland Clinic or just stay home?

    mrsboots87 replied to katinthehatter's topic in General Nursing

    Depends on your future career aspirations. Since you mention grad school, I imagine you do have higher education dreams. I honestly say go for it. I moved about 6 hours from my family at 19 (pre...

  14. I'm the Only One Doing Assessments?

    mrsboots87 replied to SunnyPupRN's topic in General Nursing

    At my facility, we can fill out incident reports for stuff like this. If I find that there appears to falsified documentation (wound dressings that weren't changed in 3 days but charged for those 3,...

  15. Drug testing

    mrsboots87 replied to NursingstudentRn2k18's topic in General Nursing

  16. Nurse License Revocation

    mrsboots87 replied to TSWeaver's topic in General Nursing

    You seriously make no sense with your ridiculous suggestions to the OP. Each state most certainly can see the license status of an applicant from out of state. Heck, with a full name I can look up...

  17. Restraints. Act first, then order? A Judgement Call.

    mrsboots87 replied to ARose11's topic in General Nursing

    You will learn very quickly that some very confused patients can seem very with it when only encountering them for short periods of time. Nurses can apply restraints without an order under nursing...

  18. Got fired.. Need support

    mrsboots87 replied to uniqueguy34's topic in Long Term Acute Care

    Too late now, but even if someone is discharged 1 hour after admit, all admit assessments need to be completed because they were still admitted. This is to cover you and the facilities behind. If...

  19. CPR in a van

    mrsboots87 replied to Joseph callmejoe's topic in General Nursing

    This is not that unusual. Some I sectors provide mobile services for those who would rather get it done in their home, or have a group they would like to do it with in a home or other location, small...

  20. PVT 24 hours or?

    mrsboots87 replied to luv4us3's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    First, this "trick" is inaccurate and you're better off waiting the extra day for quick results if your state participates. Miss far as to answer, any result you get before 24 hours is worthless as...

  21. How do you introduce yourself to other health care professionals?

    mrsboots87 replied to ital91's topic in General Students

    First check if you can even get orders from a physician. While you are most certainly aloud to update physicians (with assessment data reviewed by your precepting RN) and ask questions, if the...

  22. Nurse License Revocation

    mrsboots87 replied to TSWeaver's topic in General Nursing

    If ine states BON revokes a license, then ALL the remaining states will see this when background checking. The background check company will search for previous licenses and find it. It will fair much...

  23. Gateway to ASU CEP (nursing)

    mrsboots87 replied to Desert_Beauty's topic in General Nursing

    I think it couldn't hurt to apply to more than one. You won't be the only person with high grades and a good HESI who apply. The CEP program isn't the most competitive yet, but it is getting to be...

  24. IV compatibility

    mrsboots87 replied to sara2013's topic in General Nursing

    I have Davis Drug guide in my phone and it lists compatibility for each drug. It takes less than a minute search and then scroll to the compatibility list. Surely you can take a minute of your time...

  25. Reapplying for a job

    mrsboots87 replied to Bkre8iv2's topic in General Nursing

    Honestly, this sounds like a terrible idea and you have some big cahones to even apply after having been fired for excessive tardiness. They do keep that on file and there is a real chance that even...
