  1. Job advice- Patient transporter

    mrsboots87 replied to LJR89's topic in General Students

    I say go for it. It is silly to not try a job purely out of fear of making a bad impression on the facility. Transport job actually arent all that hard. They are not easy, but more of a heavy lifting...

  4. Any Good Online LVN programs?

    mrsboots87 replied to Cmmc911's topic in General Students

    You will not find a completely online LVN school. Maybe a hybrid, but not sure. You will have in classroom lab at least once a week and then in person clinical shifts. Online would only be cutting out...

  6. Help Me Please!

    mrsboots87 replied to J3w3lz88's topic in General Students

    I do just want to clarify from my post that I do read. Just not the multiple chapters per lecture assigned. A lot of it s redundant. Assigned reading will come from multiple books and review the same...

    mrsboots87 replied to Nurse2B_88's topic in School, College Programs

    Whats different about your situation is that you arent just a transfer student. You are dismissed from a program for 2 clinical failures. The only good side is that you were doing well in theory. You...

  10. Practice NCLEX question

    mrsboots87 replied to guest769224's topic in General Students

    LOL. That does leave a good mental image. I have a 2 year old who does angrily wield crayons and such. Oh boy would a hammer look hilarious. And this is what I hate about these types of questions. I...

  11. Help Me Please!

    mrsboots87 replied to J3w3lz88's topic in General Students

    Youre probably not that type of learner. Some people read books and learn all about a subject. Some people, myself included, can read no more than a page or two before becoming unfocused. If you have...

  12. Practice NCLEX question

    mrsboots87 replied to guest769224's topic in General Students

    I know its a toy hammer. I am not assuming whether you have kids or not, but have you ever been hit with those toy hammers? They hurt, and an angry 2 year old could full force swing that hammer down...

  15. Much needed Advice please

    mrsboots87 replied to ace003's topic in General Students

    I personally would have looked closely at either the swollen leg or the breast tenderness. Cervical cancer metastasizes to the breast often. Breast tenderness would be a sign to look deeper. for...

  16. Does Ineffective Tissue Perfusion r/t decreased hemoglobin sound right??

    mrsboots87 replied to jeddyl's topic in General Students

    I wasn't aware that decreased Hgb was a cause of ineffective tissue perfusion. Did you get that out of your NANDA book? For real nursing dx, the r/t (caused by) will come straight from the book...

  17. Practice NCLEX question

    mrsboots87 replied to guest769224's topic in General Students

    Im going to go with A. A is age appropriate for a 2 year old and will redirect their focus. Most two year olds like to build things. And if thrown out of frustration they are small and light so they...

    mrsboots87 replied to Valcorie34's topic in General Students

    For every other rotation we get 6-10 shifts in that area. But due to so many programs in my metro area, it is hard to get enough clinical slots for the Peds and OB rotations. So they combined into a...

  19. Should I apply?

    mrsboots87 replied to Brookerogers's topic in General Students

    When they say preferred, it really means they will hire people who have that preferred qualification over anyone else. Also, have you met any of those requirements? What it is saying is that you have...

  20. Nurse Extern

    mrsboots87 replied to LNOUVRESE's topic in General Students

    I'm pretty sure you are confused as to what a nurse extern is. In some facilities, you follow a nurse and it is similar to a preceptorship. But due to having to pay an RN for you to work with, those...

    mrsboots87 replied to nodaknursey701's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I wrote my first response terribly ha. My bad. I didn't mean included in the LPN program, but that the school itself may offer the certification course. But looks like others have already clarified...

    mrsboots87 replied to Lalalove1's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Lol. If you get fired for something as trivial as getting urine on this floor, it's not a place you should be working anyway. As long as the tip of the tube wasnt rolling around in infectious...

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

    Did you ever call the BON for results? Did you ever pay to $150 for the application? No one here can answer if you passed or failed. Even if it took someone here 5 months to get their results, it...

    mrsboots87 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    Don't worry. I've never met anyone who likes vomit so we're all in the same boat. Some people just tolerate better then others. Vomit also make me feel gaggy. Like saliva increase and everything. Same...
