  1. Drug urine test after 12 hour shift

    mrsboots87 replied to Kallie3006's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Also, if they were so concerned, why wait until your shift was over to test you? If you were truly a risk to patients by being "impaired". I mean we obviously know they didn't want to have to cover...

  4. Hospital & The Drug Screen: I thought they had to wait?

    mrsboots87 replied to cassimoo's topic in General Nursing

    Your thought processs is exactly why employers are not entitled to employee health info, including drug screen results for meds employees have prescriptions for. I am not saying you are wrong for...

  5. Nclex-RN and License

    mrsboots87 replied to magnolia44's topic in Arizona Nursing

    As soon as your number is posted your are officially licensed and can begin working as a nurse. CONGRATS! No employer should be using your paper license for verification. It will not tell them if...

  6. Want to work holidays and nights?

    mrsboots87 replied to Vannie102's topic in General Students

    I'm not a day person. I have a a backwards circadian rhythm or something because I have a lot of trouble sleeping at night but could sleep all day if left alone without trouble. Always tired during...

  7. Which medications are given at bedtime?

    mrsboots87 replied to klinn08's topic in General Students

    First, I did not get a single question about which medications were more appropriate for night time vs morning on NCLEX. Neither did any of my friends. That because it would honestly be a rote...

  8. MSN, $60-$75K, worth it?

    mrsboots87 replied to peanutfish's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Also consider that in nursing world having an MSN is not always seen as a higher degree then a BSN as far as new grad hiring for floor nursing. This is usually true for many facilities that want a BSN...

  9. Registered Nurse Registry?

    mrsboots87 replied to Wake88's topic in General Nursing

    First off, it is not your job to creep on other nurses because they seem shady at work. If they do something reportable or you have suspicion of something that can cause harm, you report it to your...

    mrsboots87 replied to DACMEDINA's topic in General Nursing

    Reread my answers. Does it really look like I answered OP?

  12. The Line b/t Respecting Wishes of Victim, Privacy, & Reporting

    mrsboots87 replied to SunnyPupRN's topic in General Nursing

    As for how to keep your child's trust. Be honest. Trust starts with honesty. You lose her trust if you report and blindside her with it. You gain trust by letting her know your intent and being open...

  13. The Line b/t Respecting Wishes of Victim, Privacy, & Reporting

    mrsboots87 replied to SunnyPupRN's topic in General Nursing

    I get you being upset that the other child emotionally hurt your child. But it is quite unfair to "not give a damn" about the other child. That other child is underage. She is very likely being...

  14. Colorblind Nurse

    mrsboots87 replied to Sagegrr's topic in General Nursing

    I can see where color blindness could be a disadvantage in that some medication vials (like insulin and heparin) color the kids and boxes differently to help with differentiating between the dosages....

  15. Nurse stealing narcs advice

    mrsboots87 replied to Nursenicole1's topic in General Nursing

    I also give the most PRNs on my unit and I sometimes worry I will become the focus of a complaint. The good thing is we have cameras in the halls at my facility and I sign everything out as I should...

  16. Nurse stealing narcs advice

    mrsboots87 replied to Nursenicole1's topic in General Nursing

    In my facility, narcs are blocked out from being able to be signed out until exactly 2,4,8 hrs after the last dose was signed out. Whatever the order is for. Doesn't mean nurses don't give it a little...

  17. Nursing student asks nurses the question..

    mrsboots87 replied to 2bNurseDR.T's topic in General Nursing

    So, think about this. You listen to a geriatric woman's heart. It sounds atrocious. Sometimes there is an S4. Sometimes a skipped beat or two. The HR is abnormally low. The systolic is high but the...

  18. Want to move from intermediate care to MICU

    mrsboots87 replied to Kharma711's topic in MICU, SICU

    The problem is that there usually isn't a way around the UD finding out. Many UDs of other units are going to ask about your performance and all that from your current UD. So they hold more power than...

  19. Is an accelerated BSN worth $87K?

    mrsboots87 replied to KJet5's topic in General Students

    Also, if they do not, you only have to be a resident for 6 mos to get in state tuition cost. I also relocated from California, albeit for a different reason. When I applied for the MCCCD schools, the...

  20. Is an accelerated BSN worth $87K?

    mrsboots87 replied to KJet5's topic in General Students

    I took all but one of my sciences online. Due to work and family, brick and mortar schooling was not the most feasible for all the pre reqs. I basically just made it work through nursing school...

  21. Lapsed license - advice?

    mrsboots87 replied to Jeanne Ramick's topic in General Nursing

    AZ makes it kind of easy. Every nurse renews in April of their renewal year (every 4 years). So if all else fails and you don't remember what your renewal year is, just check before April of each year...

  22. Is this discrimination?

    mrsboots87 replied to WheresMyPen's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Just a side note, while this is true in many facilities, it is usually not so in 5 star facilities or the like. I work in an upscale facility where even though many of the residents have Medicare (if...

  23. Is this discrimination?

    mrsboots87 replied to WheresMyPen's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    This is something that needs to be handled. I work in LTC also and see stupid stuff like this from time to time. I look younger than my age as well even though I'm late twenties. And when an...

  24. Is an accelerated BSN worth $87K?

    mrsboots87 replied to KJet5's topic in General Students

    Your comment about posters being upset with you probably stems from my post, and others similar. I feel no way towards you, good or bad. I merely think the even considering this idea is stupid. Does...

  25. RN started affair with pt...led to divorce

    mrsboots87 replied to Whispjes55's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    This is tough and I can see why you take pause in deciding what to do. On one hand, we have a moral and ethical duty to keep professional boundaries with all our patients because they are in a...
