  1. I need a better iPhone drug app

    mrsboots87 replied to Lemon Bars's topic in General Students

    I use micromedex. It's $3 for the regular drug guide and another $3 for the IV drug compatibility app. My work has micromedex, but my PRN job does not and it has been fantastic and easy to use. Plus...

  2. Banner New Grad Experience

    mrsboots87 replied to bex3's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Keep in mind that while it is true that Banner hires many new grads, not all will get a job because they interviewed. For every one new grad position open there are multiple applications put in. They...

  3. Challenging the board for Lvn

    mrsboots87 replied to Unkown17's topic in General Nursing

    That would be a no. To qualify to take NCLEX, you must have COMPLETED a nursing program (RN/LVN). This is verified by the school sending your completions records to the board. If you failed Peds, you...

  4. Can you do a NP program 1 class at a time with minimal stress?

    mrsboots87 replied to femaleRN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I have not personally heard of this anywhere. Much like nursing school, NP school is structured in that theory moves with clinical. So you have a class or two week (many online so you don't actually...

  5. Night shift alterative hours poll

    mrsboots87 replied to Wolf at the Door's topic in General Nursing

    As a mother, your options do not suit me in the slightest. So no, all mothers and fathers will not agree. No, your suggestions do not suit the day shift better and still benefit them. I have worked...

  6. Typical cellular data use in NS

    mrsboots87 replied to Beldar_the_Cenobite's topic in General Students

    You are very out of touch. There is a safety reason for a two nurse check of blood products and it is definitely not redundant. But I guess you just don't know what you don't know. No facility is...

  7. Banner New Grad Experience

    mrsboots87 replied to bex3's topic in Arizona Nursing

    You will go in 2-3 times before your first day. One time for your HR pre boarding. This is where you turn in any paperwork they request and get your orientation info. And then you will go in for occ...

  8. What is the rationale for Flagyl in addition to other antibiotics

    mrsboots87 replied to sim1234's topic in General Nursing

    Think hospital acquired pneumonia and c. Diff when you wonder about certain antibiotics being prescribed frequently. Those two illness are commonly the

  9. Rejected from dream job

    mrsboots87 replied to yoganurse22's topic in General Nursing

    Well you've apparently been burned. But what you say is not all true all the time. There is a major Hospital in my state that is a dream job for many nurses. For their rounds of hiring, there is a...

  10. Enterally-administered TPN?

    mrsboots87 replied to talaxandra's topic in General Nursing

    Probably the most expensive bag of "tube feed" that nurse will ever hang.

  11. Chandler-Gilbert On Probation

    mrsboots87 replied to Lavender111's topic in Arizona Nursing

    This does not surprise me at all. That college has the worst reputation of the entire MCCD. I hope this is a wake up call and that they can turn it around. But I personally would not attend a school...

  12. how long to get ATT

    mrsboots87 replied to eli45's topic in Arizona Nursing

    There is a flow sheet on the AZBN website. If your are applying to a different state, then that obviously won't apply to you. For AZ, you can send your application in about a month before you...

  13. Banner New Grad Experience

    mrsboots87 replied to bex3's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I work with a few new grads. The way they explained it to me is: you are hired through Banner staffing services. Which means you can technically be floated to different floors in a way. You get...

  15. Syringe driver terror

    mrsboots87 replied to milly's topic in General Nursing

    Also, do you know how painful dying can be? And how much anxiety it can induce in the patient? Isn't it more caring to help ease those symptoms of dying so the patient can pass in

  16. Syringe driver terror

    mrsboots87 replied to milly's topic in General Nursing

    I don't understand what is so terrible. You're not murdering someone. You're keeping them as comfortable as you can during the time it takes them to inevitably die

  17. Nurse-to-patient ratio in AZ???

    mrsboots87 replied to Queen2u's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Each hospital will have its own policies, but they still answer to state surveyors. We don't have ratio laws, but ratios fall under the general requirement of safe staffing. If patients start...

  18. Banner New Grad Program

    mrsboots87 replied to sunnyshells's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Majority of hired applicants through banner get an offer for employment the same day as their interview. Is this what you mean by "hired in the spot." While it is ok to be disappointed that you didn't...

  19. Does the BON investigate every complaint?

    mrsboots87 replied to blondenurse12's topic in General Nursing

    Sounds like it's time to contact the police if they are doing this. It will help with leaving a paper trail in case they ever do attempt to come after you for

    mrsboots87 posted a topic in Arizona Nursing

    Hey Peeps, Just seeing who else applied to the Mayo Nurse Residency program for the Feb/2016 start. I don't graduate until December this year and don't have a super competitive GPA anymore due to...

  23. Phoenix New Grad Positions 2016

    mrsboots87 replied to Kk23's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I already replied to your other post, but you're having just received your license is a major factor in why you haven't been called. I believe dignity and Mayo are the only hospital systems that you...

  24. New Grad! HELP!

    mrsboots87 replied to bex3's topic in Arizona Nursing

    If you're not getting call backs, it's time to look at your resume and cover letter. Some systems use bots to filter out applicants before even getting to a recruiter. If there aren't enough key...

  25. Charge Nurse dividing Assignments

    mrsboots87 replied to aloha16's topic in General Nursing

    It's not about the contact precautions. It's about the patient acuity. If you are following proper precautions for each pathogen, then your risk of sharing these issues between patients is minimal....
