  1. I'm a newbie and all of a sudden State's coming in

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

    You are over reacting. When state comes in, they are checking out the FACILITY, not testing the aides. Your name does not go into a report to the facility unless they see you using a hoyer by yourself...

  2. What can I work as before I get my RN license?

    mrsboots87 replied to maidinh405's topic in General Nursing

    When ICUs ask for experience it doesn't mean any old medical field experience. It means actual licensed RN experience. There are some facilities with ICU new grad positions but they are few and highly...

  3. LVN on probation needing malpractice insurance.

    mrsboots87 replied to kgutierrez1183's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    I believe there was a post recently about someone in a similar situation. They had a suspended or probationary LPN license (I forget which) from a different state then the one they challenged NCLEX...

  4. LVN on probation needing malpractice insurance.

    mrsboots87 replied to kgutierrez1183's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    As pointed out before, you may not even be allowed RN licensure until,at minimum, after your probation is up. And even then, you may have restrictions placed for some amount of time based what the...

  5. "You won't be IV certified..."

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

    From what I understand, there are courses specifically for training LPNs to be IV certified. You take and pass the course and become certified. There are probably programs that offer IV certification...

  6. Domestic violence expunged. Possible to be a LPN?

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

    Nobody here can answer if you can get licensed. Even someone with a similar situation. The only way to get an answer is to contact your state BON. Even with expungement, you still have to disclose th...

  7. Funding Prerequisites

    mrsboots87 replied to emh0918's topic in General Students

    Federal financial aid doesn't generally allow for grants for a degree lower then you already earned. So you would be able to work toward an ADN or BSN in grants. You can usually still qualify for...

  8. PTSD and nursing school

    mrsboots87 replied to Valcorie34's topic in General Students

    Find out how many peds/ob hours your program has. Some have more than others. Some just have the board require minimum because it's a specialty not heavily tested in for NCLEX. MY program has 3 OB...

  9. Dps blue card

    mrsboots87 replied to Nurse361978's topic in Arizona Nursing

    What is a blue card? I'm from AZ and have not heard of that. Do you mean the white fingerprint clearance card or is this something

  10. Failed NCLEX, should I become a CNA?

    mrsboots87 replied to stephjane's topic in General Nursing

    Also consider that the facilities you apply at may not want to hire a graduate nurse as a CNA. They will put in the money and effort to hire and orient you as a CNA, just for you to turn around and...

  11. Pregnant in nursing school

    mrsboots87 replied to bridgegeisler's topic in General Students

    Defer your placement. Hands down. You will probably get a commentor or two who have done this successfully, but they are the exception and not the rule. Once you are in class a few weeks you can no...

  12. Will I be able to take boards after a deferred class c misdemeanor?

    mrsboots87 replied to Sammi627's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    I have a minor in consumption of alcohol from 2 months before my 21st birthday. It has done nothing to me so far. I am one semester away from my ADN and so far so good. There will be a question about...

  13. CNA Exam

    mrsboots87 replied to nguy1893's topic in General Students

    If you forgot to wear gloves or wash your hands, even if it isnt bolded as critical, missing them is an automatic fail. If not, sometimes there are substeps. It wouldnt count as an actual step per se....

  14. Importance of non-science classes?(pre-nursing)

    mrsboots87 replied to laundrypodkebab's topic in General Students

    I think it would be weird if they thought anything of it. A) Being Chinese in America doesn't automatically mean you speak another language fluently, and B) it would be rude for an interviewer to...

  15. Choose NAU for CEP or wait 9 months to go to ASU?

    mrsboots87 replied to aheadofthegame's topic in Arizona Nursing

    As far as getting a job after graduation, in AZ both school names are looked at pretty much the same. ASU is nationally known and NAU is not, but again, that doesnt really matter as far as AZ job...

  16. How do you get over feeling like you'll pass out

    mrsboots87 replied to RNtobe17's topic in General Nursing

    Not everybody has this issue, but it definitely doesn't mean that you would be a bad nurse. From what i hear, you get used to it as you are exposed. Like drinking beer, it can be an acquired taste....

  17. DNR and Assisted Living Facilities

    mrsboots87 replied to mdiada's topic in General Nursing

    Someone correct me if I am wrong, but I believe you are actually correct in this instance and your boss needs some re education. DNR is not for people choking on food or drink. It is for people...

  18. Can a Muslim wear a headscarf and long dress while working as a nurse?

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

    Where I work, there is a CNA who wears head scarf that also covers her neck, a long sleeve shirt under her scrub top, and a skirt. Not a scrub skirt, usually a matching material to her head scarf that...

  19. Should I tell the truth about graduating to get a job?

    mrsboots87 replied to NurseBaby88's topic in General Students

    I definitely vote for telling the truth. If you don't tell the truth when starting the job, they may overlook you when applying for the new grad program. Being honest gives them time to prepare. Let...

  20. Just a typical day

    mrsboots87 replied to MustangSally005's topic in General Students

    I LOVE Greys but had to stop watching it in the middle of last season. At least until I graduate. I find myself constantly yelling at the screen for the terrible medical world inaccuracies lol. This...

  21. I'm a nursing student and have Guillain-Barré Syndrome

    mrsboots87 replied to Becky96's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    When I was in post partum after my second daughter was born, my nurse wore a mas and just said " Hi, I'm so and so and will be your nurse for the night. Pardon my mask but I can't get a flu shot so I...

  22. New Grad/New Nurse/Feel Stuck- Need Advice

    mrsboots87 replied to nursebabyxoxo's topic in General Nursing

    I agree that you do not need to stay to please a manager unless they paid your tuition under contract. The other girl left for a reason. You can too. Don't stay somewhere you hate because it could...

  23. Holy cow! My book total is how much?!

    mrsboots87 replied to MeiDei's topic in General Students

    I agree with the first response in seeing which books people actually used. My school required I think 10 -12 books. I dont know the exact number because I bought them all but have only used like 4 of...

  24. Cd missing in saunders book edition 5

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

    The 6th edition is already out so I would think Saunders just doesn't sell the 5e cd by itself anymore. But the 6e does not use a CD, just gives and access cod to Saunders qbank. I believe you can...

  25. TEAS test sold out no open again?!

    mrsboots87 replied to JustineC's topic in General Students

    I guess I'm not understanding why it being reopened is so bad. Some people probably rescheduled for whatever reason or they opened another testing site or something. Do you not have the money now to...
