  1. Do I need to report a juvenile offense to take the Alabama boards?

    mrsboots87 replied to khorsley3815's topic in General Students

    ALWAYS be honest with the BON. But the only people who can tell you if you have to disclose a sealed juvenile record is your state BON. You can call anonymously to ask if you want. But the application...

  2. Gateway Block III Summer Class

    mrsboots87 replied to likwit's topic in General Students

    Is the gateway that is part of the MCCCD schools? If so, it is near impossible to know when clinical will be until she is assigned a group, which can be as late as the first week of class. Clinical...

  3. Pre-Nursing student STRESSING PLEASE HELP

    mrsboots87 replied to Prettybirdy's topic in General Students

    Many schools have a cap on how many times you can take a class to replace the failed grade. I have yet to find one that is more than 3 but maybe. Basically, that f will likely stay on your transcript...

  4. Being a mom?

    mrsboots87 replied to Canadianmummy's topic in General Students

    I have a 2 year old and a 5 year old and will graduate in about 8 mos so I can see both ends of the ages during school. My two year old will likely remember very little if any of the time I had to...

  5. HELP! Rapidly Progressing MS

    mrsboots87 replied to KCW98's topic in Neuro Intensive Care, ICU

    Per TOS, no medical advice can be given here and these questions should be directed to your cousin's medical team. I am very sorry about what is happening to your family member and hope they can...

  6. PPD Test Help

    mrsboots87 replied to surviveEMS's topic in General Students

    Same spot, or different spot doesnt matter and will not affect your PPD results. The spacing required between the injections is long enough that there will not be residual from the last injection that...

  7. Was not accepted 4 times, now what???

    mrsboots87 replied to RachelCofer's topic in General Students

    Being rejected 4 times doesnt mean you should just give up necessarily. You need to know why you were rejected and try to change that. If it is for incomplete pre/co reqs that you are losing points on...

  8. Maricopa Waiting List / Placement / Timestamps 2010+

    mrsboots87 replied to Maciso's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Im not sure if that school may be different, but at SCC you still have lab even after clinical starts because you are continually learning new skills and have checkoffs throughout the semester. Also,...

  9. HIPAA Question, Please Help

    mrsboots87 replied to valliloves's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    You can always tell a patient their own information (vitals and the like I mean). If they ask if their vitals are good or bad, I just tell them I report to the nurse and they will check in if...

  10. How to not Fail/Get kicked out/Get bullied?

    mrsboots87 replied to happyinmyheart's topic in General Students

    Best thing I can advise is to ignore the negative threads you see here and don't read too much into those types of posts. Are there bullies in nursing school? Sure, but the vast majority of programs...

  11. What happens if you resign while suspended?

    mrsboots87 replied to Capp's topic in General Nursing

    It may be different by state, but I'm pretty sure it is federal law that mandates what can and cant be disclosed to prospective employers. My mom works in HR in the state I grew up in and when I asked...

  12. Medication question

    mrsboots87 replied to Peaceem's topic in Patient Medications

    Then quite simply, your instructor was wrong. Either that or there was a misread of the dilution requirement of the med by either you or your instructor. Either way, if you pleaded your case and...

  13. Duke Nursing, how do I pay for it !!!

    mrsboots87 replied to cje1015's topic in General Nursing

    My thoughts exactly. Way to go (to that poster) who basically disrespected the majority of US nurses. I am sure that Duke and Hopkins and similar prestigious schools have fantastic educators and great...

  14. What happens if you resign while suspended?

    mrsboots87 replied to Capp's topic in General Nursing

    Also keep in mind that it is illegal for a previous employer to say you were fired or give any reason for why you no longer work there. They can only give your dates of employment and your position to...

  15. Medication question

    mrsboots87 replied to Peaceem's topic in Patient Medications

    And I did the work for you because it was so simple. In most cases, when you have a math problem, people here will require you show your work first. You learn nothing if the work and answer are just...

  16. Medication question

    mrsboots87 replied to Peaceem's topic in Patient Medications

    This is simple math. Set up the problem and let us know what you got. You would need a large syringe to fit all the diluent in with the med. But if you look at it, you should be able to do this in...

  17. Maricopa Waiting List / Placement / Timestamps 2010+

    mrsboots87 replied to Maciso's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I should also note that it shouldn't be this bad for too much longer. The baby boomers will eventually have to retire, and there will need to be nurses to take their place. I just hope medical...

  18. Maricopa Waiting List / Placement / Timestamps 2010+

    mrsboots87 replied to Maciso's topic in Arizona Nursing

    The nursing shortage isnt really real. Technically there are not enough nurses for the population treated, however with hospital cutbacks and overworking the nurses that do have jobs, it makes for...

  19. Might get kicked out today!

    mrsboots87 replied to RNDREAMER4's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    DO you mean you were carrying IV saline bags with you, or just flushes? Seeing as LVNs cant start Ivs or IV push without certification and only in some states, holding either flushes or fluid bags...

  20. pregnant nursing student

    mrsboots87 replied to LNOUVRESE's topic in General Students

    I say that for now to keep the job and continue in school. Each pregnancy and each person is different. You may do well, have no complications, delivery and bounce right back in a couple weeks. But...

  21. DUI in CA. Should I look into other states?

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

    Honestly, CA is not the only state that you will have trouble getting a license in. The DUI is very fresh, and any state background check is going to see it. It doesnt automatically decline you, but...

  22. Nurses with Juvenile Felonies?

    mrsboots87 replied to Dlove81314's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    This could definitely affect your ability to become an RN. It would be a good idea to email or call the CA BON and ask some questions, and/or contact a lawyer wth knowledge of the BON and ask for...

  23. Fired for following orders

    mrsboots87 replied to shmedium's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    Agreed that while it is the nurses job to responsibly delegate, it is also your job to understand your scope of practice. Blaming the nurse for delegating the task does not relieve you of being...

  24. Carrington, Everest, and Brookline

    mrsboots87 replied to surgical1's topic in General Students

    It would help if you listed your location. Those private schools are in many

  25. Maricopa Waiting List / Placement / Timestamps 2010+

    mrsboots87 replied to Maciso's topic in Arizona Nursing

    There are still people who applied when the wait was longer. But there are less of them now. Also, if waiting for only specific programs, the wait can be extended. If you fill all 5 choices and are...
