  1. Milrinone drip how to declot noncontinuous ports

    mrsboots87 replied to Mmonroe1's topic in General Nursing

    Alteplase is given at 0.9mg/kg in stroke patients with a max amount given to 90mg. A 2 mg "dose" used to declot a line would only cause catastrophic bleeding to a very certain population of very sick...

  2. NIHSS

    mrsboots87 replied to Joce1's topic in General Nursing

    I work in a stroke certified hospital. We NIH once a shift to monitor patient progress, but this is not a certification requirement. I don't believe so anyway. It's just our policy. Q4 hour is a...

  3. Seasoned Nurses VS Newbie Nurses

    mrsboots87 replied to Alexx_xox's topic in General Nursing

    School teaches what it should be like in a perfect world. What you are meant to take from your education is how to be a safe beginner nurse. When you get to the real world, a lot of either shortcuts...

  4. I need help! w-4 for dummies with Per diem job

    mrsboots87 replied to sunshine539's topic in General Nursing

    This is where you need a tax professional. A second job very well can bump you to another tax bracket. It depends on how much you make at both jobs and the amount of hours you put in. Think of it...

  5. Heparin Drip decreased Calculation

    mrsboots87 replied to heavenleegh1's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Side note. This is an incredibly high dose for heparin. Make sure if you ever see this in real life, you question it. I'm sure these numbers are just made up for the sake of a math problem

  6. Charting questions

    mrsboots87 replied to fjluce's topic in General Nursing

    Side note, clock in view and such does not mean that the patient is looking at the clock. It merely means that the clock is in the line of sight of the patient and not behind their head. r lets...

  7. Banner Health New Grad '18

    mrsboots87 replied to AB92's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I just re read your comment and saw you stated you took the test the day after recieving your ATT. I originally misread and thought you said 1 day after graduating. Big difference and makes way more...

  8. Banner Health New Grad '18

    mrsboots87 replied to AB92's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I guess I am confused. Did you drive to another state to take the test for AZ? I ask because no matter what state you take the test in, if you designate AZ as your BON, you would still be constrained...

  9. Banner Health New Grad '18

    mrsboots87 replied to AB92's topic in Arizona Nursing

    How long did it take you to endorse it back to AZ? I've wondered this before since the BON wants to process everything but I have heard of so many new grads from other states that take their NCLEX...

  10. Banner Health New Grad '18

    mrsboots87 replied to AB92's topic in Arizona Nursing

    One thing to keep in mind when you get your ATT is that it's only guaranteed they can offer you a test date within 45 days. All of my classmates a few years ago were getting their dates very close to...

  11. HonorHealth Interview Process

    mrsboots87 replied to Nursekayaz's topic in Arizona Nursing

    When I was a new grad, it took at least a few days to maybe a week to hear back if I remember

  12. Banner Health New Grad '18

    mrsboots87 replied to AB92's topic in Arizona Nursing

    This must be new ish but good to know. It wasn't an option when I was waiting to test, but it's nice that it is

  13. Banner Health New Grad '18

    mrsboots87 replied to AB92's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Mayo is super competitive with 500+ new grads applying for 30ish positions each cycle. They pay decent. Banner requires you to have your license number to apply. You can apply for dignity positions...

  14. Asu rn-bsn enrollment

    mrsboots87 replied to itscarroll15's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Last I checked, only NAU offers an RN to BSN program start during block 3 if your have good enough grades and your nursing counselor signs off on it. I don't believe ASU does

  15. Should I accept a SNF position as a new grad even though this is not the field I want?

    mrsboots87 replied to FishBones's topic in Nursing Career

    I started in a LTC/SNF for my first 7 months (worked there as a CNA for 6 months before that). I was offered a job in acute care after that but stayed around PRN at the SNF for another 8 months...

  16. "untestable" on NIHSS

    mrsboots87 replied to kataraang's topic in General Nursing

    Also think about this, if you break your humerus, while painful, you should still be able to move your fingers. If you ask the stroke patient to lift their arm to test for drift and they cant even...

  17. Newgrad RN Positions

    mrsboots87 replied to rjbronder's topic in General Nursing

    Depending on your state, getting your NCLEX schedule could take a month or longer. Applying for jobs now, unless they are new grad residencies, may be useless. Many positions posted need to be filled...

  18. Schedule NCLEX before ATT?

    mrsboots87 replied to raspberry1's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Your ATT is approval to test. You can't schedule a date until approved to even take

  19. Dignity Health New Grad Hiring Process

    mrsboots87 posted a topic in Arizona Nursing

    Hey, I have an interview next week for a new grad position with Dignity Health Chandler-Regional. Even if I don't get the job I am excited to even get a chance to interview. Anyway, anyone here...

    mrsboots87 replied to Carebear77's topic in General Nursing

    Guess it's time for you to be sick tomorrow as

  21. When should a patient Narcotics be destroyed

    mrsboots87 replied to Akasha2#'s topic in General Nursing

    When I worked in a SNF, the ADON would sometimes dispose of narcs the same day. And sometimes take weeks. Each time those keys are passed, the oncoming nurse is responsible for all meds in that cart...

  22. Does a Pyxis have the capability to restrict Narcotics to a user?

    mrsboots87 replied to Jslimp22's topic in Nurses Recovery

    At my job, the user profile can be changed to restrict whatever meds they want. We've been having a problem with narcotic discrepancies lately. So whenever there is a discrepancy that is not reported,...

  23. how to sign your name as a nursing student

    mrsboots87 replied to Kaylapppp's topic in Arizona Nursing

    You sign as SN (student nurse) for clinical documentation and the like. For anything else, youbsign just your name because the designation of SN means nothing outside of the clinical

  24. Urgent: Need IV Certification for RN in Bay Area

    mrsboots87 replied to LizzerRN's topic in General Nursing

    It's because IV insertion is already within scope for an RN. In most states, if not all, LPN/LVN's require a separate certification to start and gang IV meds. It is not within their scope without the...

  25. This person outranks me?!

    mrsboots87 replied to Aunt Slappy's topic in General Nursing

    I had to ask a CNA yesterday where to put the lab label on a urine tube. It doesn't make me dumb for not knowing. Our lab is picky about where the label goes on certain tests my CNAs are so wonderful...
