  1. Nursing Dx: Risk for DVT?

    mrsboots87 replied to amandaxyo's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    You are correct in that this is not a nursing diagnosis. The only acceptable nursing diagnosis come from the NANDA book and others that license some of the material from NANDA into a careplan book....

  2. Night shift and clinicals

    mrsboots87 replied to amygrizzard's topic in General Students

    I call bull on her being able to call the board and them actually have anything they can decline you licensure for. As log as you are performing safely in clinical, there is no grounds to report you...

  3. Comments to make on an Unjust write up?

    mrsboots87 replied to Satsun's topic in General Nursing

    I am a new grad so nursing school is still pretty fresh in my mind. We have NEVER been taught that ANYONE practices under our license, nor were we practicing under another nurses license in clinical....

  4. Nursing school supplies

    mrsboots87 replied to xdrowe's topic in General Students

    Shouldn't you wait until your background check clears you for

  5. Lost my placement

    mrsboots87 replied to nursingstudent67's topic in General Students

    These are actually relatively major med errors. By placing the meds in the drawer and not saying anything to anyone, it sounds like that patient missed their meds or got them very late. If you were...

  6. Really bad fever blister. Should I call in?

    mrsboots87 replied to LDAthleteNurse's topic in General Nursing

    Then I retract my first comment lol. Having cold sore changes things. Especially around itty bitties. I hope if you called out, they were

  7. Really bad fever blister. Should I call in?

    mrsboots87 replied to LDAthleteNurse's topic in General Nursing

    I understand all this and it wasn't why I asked OP to clarify. You can get blisters (not cold sores of the herpes variety) from bad sun burns. Even on the lips. The difference between a sun blister...

  8. Comments to make on an Unjust write up?

    mrsboots87 replied to Satsun's topic in General Nursing

    To give advice from the opposite side of the spectrum, even if the write up is unjust, you are the nurse and are ultimately responsible. CNAs have a job and are delegated tasks that don't require...

  9. Really bad fever blister. Should I call in?

    mrsboots87 replied to LDAthleteNurse's topic in General Nursing

    How are sun burned lips viral in nature? OP, we need clarification. You said fever blister from being in the sun. While a fever blister is herpes and that would possibly be a reason to not work around...

  10. Really bad fever blister. Should I call in?

    mrsboots87 replied to LDAthleteNurse's topic in General Nursing

    I hope you're joking about wanting to call in for a fever blister you are embarrassed about. If your not contagious, this is not a good reason to leave your unit possibly understaffed for the shift....

  11. Falsely accused of med diversion

    mrsboots87 replied to kindia's topic in General Nursing

    Agreed with the above. How many times have you had things spill out of your pockets when pulling out a pen or bending over or something? Happens to me all the time. And if you leave it in your COW or...

  12. DON & FNP program

    mrsboots87 replied to Googler101's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I'm going to go with probably not as the DON I work with now and in my last facility worked long hours M-F. Trying to coordinate clinical hours with advanced nursing education seems like it would be...

  13. lvn training

    mrsboots87 replied to PHOPHOBEB's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I work 1:31. But my resident have very low acuity and the ratio is very manageable. If people start crumping, or I get an admit, or things get crazy, then the nurse supervisor comes to help out. When...

  14. Do I have to take my nclex in the same state as the nursing school I attend?

    mrsboots87 replied to smc26448's topic in General Nursing

    Yes. You can take NCLEX in any state and have the results forwarded to any state since NCLEX format and difficulty is identical across all states. In order to get a license directly from another state...

  15. UNDERPAID

    mrsboots87 replied to rob350's topic in General Nursing

    It's too late to do anything about it now, and you will likely paint a target on your back if you do. Other employees could also be reprimanded for sharing their salary info with you. What other...

  16. Need help from mom nurses please

    mrsboots87 replied to Wanttobeamom's topic in General Nursing

    Oh, and many new grad positions are for full time. There are probably some new grads out there who got PRN or part time out the gate, but it is very useful common. It it is very expensive to train a...

  17. Need help from mom nurses please

    mrsboots87 replied to Wanttobeamom's topic in General Nursing

    I am a mom. You are leaving out your husband in all of this as if he won't be there. Lean on him. Daycare should be your first thought. It is expensive for the good ones, but worth it to me. As for...

  18. Getting into Nursing school with a misdemeanor

    mrsboots87 replied to mrs303abuse's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    Contact your BON. The school background check may not "see" it but the BON one sure will. The federal background check the board uses sees every little thing you've ever done wrong that's been out in...

  19. Laptop for school

    mrsboots87 replied to candmo57's topic in General Students

    It honestly doesn't matter. What you are advised with change based on preference for Apple products vs regular products. As long as it has Microsoft office and wifi capability to connect anywhere,...

  20. Reporting Abuse and Facility Follow Through

    mrsboots87 replied to Gurlonthesun's topic in General Nursing

    You are correct in that a facility is legally obligated to suspend an employee accused of elder abuse. If the investigation comes back that the employee was not in the wrong, they will be paid for any...

  21. why ? why? see no value

    mrsboots87 replied to teddiebear's topic in General Nursing

    I agree that you stated the value in your OP. I have a resident in my care that requires BID suprapubic cath flushing as well. If we do not flush, she gets calcium/WBC/dead tissue "balls" at the end...

  22. CNA attire during interview?

    mrsboots87 replied to Shanty3710's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    NEVER wear scrubs to an interview. When they say "dress for the job you want" it is not that literal. Lol. The he only time I could ever see that as appropriate is if you are coming straight from...

  23. The right to an opinion

    mrsboots87 replied to ElectricCabbage's topic in General Nursing

    I do t take the "I want them to be alert" crap from families. First, the only family, friend,or loved one that has any day over the care of an actively dying patient who can no longer consent for them...

  24. Is it legal to work as an aid while you are an RN

    mrsboots87 replied to Rn 1979's topic in General Nursing

    You are asking the wrong question of the wrong people. whether your manager is there or not doesn't matter. You need to notify HR of your licensure as soon as it is active. They will be the people who...

  25. Drug urine test after 12 hour shift

    mrsboots87 replied to Kallie3006's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Also, some drug interactions and even metabolites if single drugs can sometimes show up on U/As as positive for illegal substances. You should be able to request for your sample to be sent in for an...
