  1. Mayo New Grad RN Residency program (Feb/2016)

    mrsboots87 replied to mrsboots87's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I'm not sure. im just like you in totally loving the idea of starting at Mayo, but with how competitive it is to even get an interview, let alone a job, I am also staying realistic about my

  2. 1test determines it all/so unfair!

    mrsboots87 replied to futurepsychrn's topic in General Students

    Look into drugs that affect beta cells. There are certain ones that can exasperate asthma, particularly cardiac drugs. If I give you the answer, then it won't be learned, but that should send you in...

  3. 1test determines it all/so unfair!

    mrsboots87 replied to futurepsychrn's topic in General Students

    Agreed with the above poster. Obviously enough people pass this exam for the program to have decided it was a method for matriculation. You don't have to memorize each and every drug, and if you are...

  4. Why Is It So Hard to get a CNA job?? HELP!

    mrsboots87 replied to 2bNurseGirly93's topic in General Students

    It can definitely be hard to obtain that first CNA job in many areas. I applied for 2.5 months to hospitals and nice long term care facilities. No luck. I gave in and applied at the not so good long...

  5. Infection Control

    mrsboots87 replied to stephanie283's topic in General Students

    I would never room an AIDS patient privately purely because of the AIDS. If they were in the end stages and severely immunicompromised then sure. And that would be in order to protect the AIDS...

  6. First clinical competency was a disaster

    mrsboots87 replied to iwearadrstethoscope's topic in General Students

    Through 4 semesters I have seen nursing students cry after check off, cry after exams, cry after hard clinicals, and cry during all 3. I myself have cried twice. Once in front of an instructor and...

  7. Maricopa Spring 2016 Block 1 students

    mrsboots87 replied to Mrs.Bookworm's topic in Arizona Nursing

    For CEP people, of course stay on it because you need the placement in order to do your background check. However, keep in mind that your actual place in the program you were selected for has already...

  8. payscale

    mrsboots87 replied to iamdarome's topic in Arizona Nursing

    You seem to mention pay and the "big bucks" frequently in your posting here. Wanting to earn a good wage is not wrong and a perfectly good reason to go into nursing, I just really hope you want this...

  9. Is it just me?

    mrsboots87 replied to 1_fit_male_nurse2b's topic in Arizona Nursing

    You will not be tested on basic anatomy and physiology. Since they are pre reqs it is expected that you already have at least a basic understanding. But, the instructors usually have a short blip on...

  10. Was my Professor wrong...

    mrsboots87 replied to loving2024's topic in General Students

    Spironolactone is not a major sodium waster. It does waste some sodium, but it effects the renal tubules much closer to the end of the line where most of the sodium going through has already been...

  11. Criminal background and Nursing

    mrsboots87 replied to Medicine11's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    It is not true that you need to have a perfectly clean background to get licensed. Some offenses won't affect licensure, especially if they're old. The problem here is that the offense is alcohol...

  12. Online exams

    mrsboots87 replied to direw0lf's topic in General Students

    I would ask the instructor what the intent is. If open book and using friends from class as a resource is on, then there's no problem. But if it's meant to be taken alone, then yes it would be...

  13. IV Drip Rate Help

    mrsboots87 replied to tiffanyleto's topic in General Students

    Current is 250mL/500mg, 5mcg/kg/min, 242lb If you need to double the drip rate by increasing both the volume and amount of drug in the bag (that just seems ridiculous, but I guess its just for...

  14. IV Drip Rate Help

    mrsboots87 replied to tiffanyleto's topic in General Students

    Seems like you must be really overthinking this or this questions just makes no sense. If you just want to double the drip rate for volume, then double the volume. If you want to double the drip rate...

  15. First nursing school A!!!!

    mrsboots87 posted a topic in General Students

    Hey everyone. We just had our third exam of final semester and I got my first real nursing school A on an exam!!!1 I have gotten 90s before on tests multiple times, but this was the first time I made...

  16. Denied Acceptance Charity SON

    mrsboots87 replied to Naturally_lynn40's topic in General Students

    I get the frustration with not being accepted, however it doesnt mean that somebody is wrong. All it means is that although your meet the qualifications, there are others that are more qualified based...

  17. Maricopa Waiting List / Placement / Timestamps 2010+

    mrsboots87 replied to Maciso's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Every school will send out an orientation packet. Some do it as each applicant accepts placement. Some wait until a few placement runs have processed and do a mass mailing. But you will get the info...

  18. Items for practicing injecions

    mrsboots87 replied to Leonardsmom,LPN's topic in General Students

    Haha. I used it on a teddy pair with a straw for a genital area. But the school gave those supplies to the students so they could use them in lab or at home. It was more to get the motions down and...

  19. Items for practicing injecions

    mrsboots87 replied to Leonardsmom,LPN's topic in General Students

    Def no people with your practice stuff. One reason being liability and not having an instructor present, but also because the practice stuff may or may not actually be sterile. Since a it's made for...

  20. Items for practicing injecions

    mrsboots87 replied to Leonardsmom,LPN's topic in General Students

    My program gave us a lab kit that included needles, fake meds, and a foley kit that was meant for practicing at home. It was actually encouraged. And for practicing at school or in lab, we had to...

  21. Spring 2016 Accepted

    mrsboots87 replied to 1_fit_male_nurse2b's topic in Arizona Nursing

    You will get a mailed copy as well. They email for quick response but also mail for those who may have an issue and don't get the acceptance

  22. Xmas list ideas, accepted at SCC for Spring 2016

    mrsboots87 replied to amwrootbeer's topic in Arizona Nursing

    At SCC you will get a lot of practice in BP through lab time, so if you had to make a list by priority, that should be in the end of it. But a good stethoscope would be a good idea. Especially if it's...

  23. NG tube feeding

    mrsboots87 replied to brenns14's topic in General Students

    Great point! Whether the end of the tube is in the right place or not, there should still be bowel sounds, even if just the hunger gargles. I guess I was trying to get the OP out of thinking all about...

  24. And here comes the nightly spam

    mrsboots87 replied to TheGooch's topic in General Nursing

    Has anyone figured out the reason? Like why is someone or a group of people trying to overload this site with weird garbage posts? There are not weird links. Usually just what looks like an...

  25. Log Narcotic Before/After

    mrsboots87 replied to ArceusAlpha's topic in General Students

    BScN. Are you Canadian? This might be where some of the miscommunication between you and Heather is coming from. I know Canada has 4 year Bacc programs that have clinical throughout the whole 4 years....
