  1. Clinicals

    mrsboots87 replied to Nurse2b.lexii.p91's topic in General Students

    While it isn't very common, when t happens it is not usually the choice of the school. The clinical placements are decided by what the hospitals have available. If that availability changes, then your...

  2. Correct terminology?

    mrsboots87 replied to Ellie.D's topic in General Students

    In second semester of nursing school, I said "bun" near a nephrologist. If looks could kill... the he importance of proper pronunciation depends on the audience. Technically it is B-U-N. But it's not...

  3. Policy on No Reliever.

    mrsboots87 replied to Adele_Michal7's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I know in AZ we can be mandated for up to a 16 hour total shift. I work 12s and if my relief calls out, the latest they have me stay is an additional 4 and then someone takes over. But they usually...

  4. Need INTERVIEWEES for paper on nursing specialties! NICU, Flight nurse, L&D, Travel nurse.

    mrsboots87 replied to Bones874's topic in General Students

    OP, you are completely missing the point and being over dramatic. The nurses and students contribute to help each other daily on this site. No one said that everyone here is not a nurse. What is being...

  5. Med error documentation

    mrsboots87 replied to Ruger2014's topic in General Nursing

    I've never even heard of notating a med error in the nurses note. Where I've worked and had clinical, there just a medication event form that is filled out and filed with whoever is in charge of them....

  6. Please help-Scottsdale Community College

    mrsboots87 replied to karenwlee's topic in Arizona Nursing

    The partnership program is not something different. Ask your HR if they still do it. Basically HonorHealth gives money to SCC to let their employees go to the front of the line and not wait in the CC...

  7. Please help me, which community college accept the most students..

    mrsboots87 replied to alliesweetie14's topic in Arizona Nursing

    SCC is the largest with a class capacity of 90. I believe Mesa is second due to it having morning and evening. If you are applying to CEP then this info doesn't really matter for you. Once you are...

  8. Nursing School on 2nd year probation?

    mrsboots87 replied to Oceanblu's topic in General Students

    rhisnis not exactly true. If a straight A student goes to a school that fails to prepare them for NCLEX, they will have a higher chance of failing the first time. This would reflect on the school and...

  9. Sending res to hospital- did I make the right call?

    mrsboots87 replied to suzw's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I feel you. My unit manager is also cracking down on return to acute trips and wants to do everything possible to prevent sending a resident out. In many cases this is ok and can be safely handled in...

  10. professional integrity in nursing

    mrsboots87 replied to nanyy's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    My thoughts exactly. OP, this ain't Google. You can't just spit out a topic and hope the nurses and students will just spit out resources and other "help". You have to do the work yourself and then...

  11. Nursing School on 2nd year probation?

    mrsboots87 replied to Oceanblu's topic in General Students

    I very seriously doubt that a school with an NCLEX pass rate of 75% and lower then that in years prior would EVER make it to a top 10 list of programs in the nations by a reputable source. That would...

  12. 94 or higher is an A?

    mrsboots87 replied to Oceanblu's topic in General Students

    Why would the lower the passing standard to get a higher pass rate? It is the programs job to weed out students who won't have the minimum competency to practice safely as a new grad nurse. The...

  13. Clinical Dress Code

    mrsboots87 replied to ashleyg037's topic in Arizona Nursing

    They will explain this when you start. But basically you haven't earned the lax dress code yet. You are a student and not an RN yet, so you still have to make it through a program and prove yourself....

  14. Who's at fault here?

    mrsboots87 replied to PerkyNurse55's topic in General Students

    Agreed with numbers not Meaning everything. Thankfully my school did not use the HESI as a requirement for matriculation. I failed it 3 out of 4 times (we took it once every semester). The fourth time...

  15. Dignity Health New Grad Hiring Process

    mrsboots87 replied to mrsboots87's topic in Arizona Nursing

  16. 3 Big Issues?

    mrsboots87 replied to MattRN95's topic in General Nursing

    Homework?

  17. When are you officially a nursing student?

    mrsboots87 replied to Zyprexa_Ho's topic in General Students

    You are not a student nurse (SN signed after your name) until your first day of class. When you call yourself a nursing student (as in taking classes for a nursing degree) is up to

  18. OPINIONS PLEASE!!!

    mrsboots87 replied to nurselifex0's topic in General Nursing

    This is really common. I actually just had this happen but it has really good potential to have worked out anyway. I was called in for an interview. Towards the end of the interview the manager told...

  19. Which has priority? Chronic pain or constipation?

    mrsboots87 replied to akruc353's topic in General Students

    Pain. You need to stay on top of their pain as it can cause a physiological response that extends healing time for whatever they are there for. Constipation can be treated alongside pain treatment...

  20. Maricope CEP requisites. When should I take them?

    mrsboots87 replied to MQ Edna's topic in General Students

    You are either confused or are mixing up the programs. To be part of the CEP program you get accepted into it BEFORE starting the nursing program. If you are already accepted into the nursing program,...

  22. Mayo Clinic New Grad July 2016

    mrsboots87 replied to DalRN's topic in General Nursing

    They get over 500 applications each cycle and usually interview something like 75 ish applicant fro roughly 30 positions. But I'm sure that's a little different each time. But it if it makes you feel...

  23. Mayo Clinic New Grad July 2016

    mrsboots87 replied to DalRN's topic in General Nursing

    My friend interviewed last week and was told it would be about 3 weeks. Expect offers to be made about a 1.5-2 months before the program starts. That's about their norm. So since it starts mid July,...

  24. Authorization to test

    mrsboots87 replied to Shagce1's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    OP, you mention one reason for getting it for if you don't pass NCLEX. Keep in mind that if you don't pass NCLEX while using a temporary license, the temporary license will be revoked. It is literally...

  25. PN licensing exam

    mrsboots87 replied to 2bnurseynurse8's topic in General Students

    I would be surprised to find any state that will allow this, but of course I don't know every states guidelines. What I do know is that each stats has clinical hour and theory completion requirements....
