  1. Wrong Pt charting

    mrsboots87 replied to kristimarieSC's topic in General Students

    Did you choose this topic or were you assigned? I can't imagine there being much research in this as the solution is to read the name on the top of the screen to make sure you're in the right

  2. Metabolic Acidosis...

    mrsboots87 replied to LoveER01's topic in General Students

    Blood glucose of 420. My first thought is not to give the patient a med that is essentially a laxative that binds to potassium. A 5.2 is considered WNL in many facilities and even if not, it is not...

  3. CNA quit with no notice because of health reasons.

    mrsboots87 replied to Sagegrr's topic in Nursing Career

    I quit without notice from a job before. I was a department manager for a home improvement store. I was 5 mos pregnant and still getting very sick everyday. Dizzy, almost fainted twice, couldn't eat...

  4. inconsistent policies

    mrsboots87 replied to 2bRN2016's topic in School, College Programs

    This is ridiculous. You failed. That sucks and I get feeling upset about it. But, you still failed. The school can make changes whenever they want as long as it is presented to the students before the...

  5. Failed NCLEX-RN few times Applying for LPN examination

    mrsboots87 replied to jcpam97's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    The NCLEX PN exam will not in any way be easier then the RN version and is not a backup for those who cant pass the RN version. If you are not passing RN, then chances are that you will not pass PN...

  6. DVT and leg elevation

    mrsboots87 replied to medicalmeg's topic in General Nursing

    I know I am late to return to this, but thank you Muno. I will have to read into this more. My instructors are usually pretty up to date, but they have missed things in the

  7. Prerequisites courses for nursing program

    mrsboots87 replied to sfw57's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Another question, if you cannot afford to live, how do you expect to pay for your MSN program? Those programs are very tough and take a lot of time so you would not be able to work full time most...

  8. PCA pump math question HELP

    mrsboots87 replied to NursingGirlRN2b's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Put what you've done here so people can see where you went wrong and correct from there. Start with what's easy first: the 12 hour basal amount. Deduct that from the 25 ml. Then, find the demand...

  9. Clinicals - What Not to Do?

    mrsboots87 replied to meganec17's topic in General Students

    The simplest advice is to not act entitled and be as helpful as you can. Dont avoid the "dirty work". If asked to clean a soiled patient or give a bed bath or what not, go do it with a smile on your...

  10. Will leaving my stethoscope in a hot car cause irreversible damage?

    mrsboots87 replied to NotAllThoseWhoWander's topic in General Students

    It *could* damage the tubing, but one occurrence would likely not cause a major issue. Just think, these things get shipped in large, not air conditioned, trucks. They can withstand some bit of heat....

  11. Supervisior causing problems, what should I do?

    mrsboots87 replied to sunshiny1's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Another thought occurred to me. What is the care level of your desired hall? Are there less total cares then other halls? less deanding residents? Basically, is this an easier assignment then some of...

  12. Supervisior causing problems, what should I do?

    mrsboots87 replied to sunshiny1's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I would like to clarify that I in no way was patronizing you. I flat out said I think you are acting unrealistically entitled and should get over yourself. I'm sorry that you only like one wing, but...

  13. Supervisior causing problems, what should I do?

    mrsboots87 replied to sunshiny1's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I truly don't understand where your self entitled attitude comes from. Boo hoo. you arent besties with the residents on other halls. Have you ever thought that they are moving you around so that you...

  14. Urgent! IV drip rate?

    mrsboots87 replied to ArceusAlpha's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Your ratio is 50mEq/100 mL and you need to infuse 10mEq/h, microdrip is 60gtt/mL. You can use dimensional analysis or an equation with that infro. Try to set up the equation with that info and if you...

  15. Maricopa RN Time Stamps for 8/6/15

    mrsboots87 replied to NursingAZ's topic in Arizona Nursing

    It depends on ig you have all the regular classes done or not. I have an AGEC degree and all the additional pre reqs and co reqs for the RN-BSN done due to being on the wait lit for 2.5 years. So I...

  16. Am I reading this schedule right?

    mrsboots87 replied to AZBlueBell's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Do t go by that to a T. If your lab day is 8-5 Friday's, then has a random Thursday class or Monday class, then the schedule will list all 3 days. Also, your class may be split based on size and there...

  17. Maricopa RN Time Stamps for 8/6/15

    mrsboots87 replied to NursingAZ's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I am currently starting NAU in block 4. I didn't know about it in time to apply to start in Block 3. Not competitive at all since its all online classes. Just meet the minimum requirements and get 2...

  18. Need help with a question!

    mrsboots87 replied to ilovern2b's topic in General Students

    Have you looked in your drug guide? These are all fluid types. This should indicate to you that one of those fluids is not compatible with diazepam drips. Rather simple. In general, the seasoned...

  19. DVT and leg elevation

    mrsboots87 replied to medicalmeg's topic in General Nursing

    The way I reason it out is this. You want to have better venous return so that the the area below the clot doesnt swell too much. Venous return from the affected limb is limited because one of the...

  20. Paying for Nursing School

    mrsboots87 replied to tellio015's topic in General Students

    My question is why would you apply to a school you can't afford? Apply to other more affordable schools. You can go back to a community college for a fraction of the cost and probably make enough...

  21. Nursing Instructors Would Rather see You Fail than Succeed

    mrsboots87 replied to pat8585's topic in General Students

    Giving ONE example from ONE instructor does not show that almost all instructors want to see students fail. That means you have had a bad experience with a SINGLE instructor and have given us half of...

  22. NCLEX for the 3rd time--FAILED

    mrsboots87 replied to Jeny16's topic in General Students

    If you failed all 3 times at 75 questions, it means you were nowhere near the passing level and taking the full amount wouldn't get you there so the test shuts off. This would mean that whatever you...

  23. Difference between Fundamentals in Nursing and Med-Surg in Nursing school?

    mrsboots87 replied to cosmicnurse's topic in General Students

    Fundamentals is just that. The basics. You learn assessment, basic wound care, PO and injectable med, basic care of patients, etc. you learn normal funding, abnormal findings, lab values and maybe...

  24. Maricopa RN Time Stamps for 8/6/15

    mrsboots87 replied to NursingAZ's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Those spots do essentially get wasted because it would be difficult to find a student who already had all the health requirements complete within the required time frame and get background check...

  25. My first day in nursing classes

    mrsboots87 replied to direw0lf's topic in General Students

    My first day back was today too! We jumped right in. We had about an hour of syllabus and class structure review followed by a quiz. And yes it was a real quiz. That's new. They aren't messing around...
