  1. Worries with family member's care

    mrsboots87 replied to petali's topic in General Nursing

    Most of what you are asking is in the realm of medical advice. However, to touch on the "pressure relieving matrss" there are actually some bed types that do not require much patient repositioning. A...

  2. Job offer then ghosted

    mrsboots87 replied to Newgrad&8678's topic in General Nursing

    I think you are taking this way too hard and getting upset too easily. From what I read, you were verbally offered a job. Then a week and a half later you passed NCLEX and called back. No answer, so...

  3. Rationale behind exam test question?

    mrsboots87 replied to Tdc8250's topic in General Students

    As a nurse myself, I also got distracted. Haha. But I still wouldn't have picked that

  4. Rationale behind exam test question?

    mrsboots87 replied to Tdc8250's topic in General Students

    Think about where your pulse would be checked before you make that your answer. You will not likely have any palpable pulse points at the distal end of that cast as it will cover the radial pulse and...

  5. Concerned future nurse w/ MIP

    mrsboots87 replied to tess2737's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    I have an MIP of alcohol from when I was 20. Was licensed at 27 with no issue. I am in AZ. THE AZBN did not ask if I had a misdemeanor. Only for felonies and certain undesignated offenses. I called to...

  6. Patient complaint-freaking out!

    mrsboots87 replied to CrazierThanYou's topic in General Nursing

    Is it possible it's an abuse allegation? That is the only valid reason I can think of for suspending you during the investigation. Generally, any abuse allegation requires up to a 3 day suspension...

  7. Maricopa Application Status

    mrsboots87 replied to LivinOnIce's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Up until about a year to year and a half ago, there was an application status login. It had time stamps and college choices listed in for you to select. It also had messages from the placement team...

  8. 2-Step Test

    mrsboots87 replied to NarrowBoat's topic in Arizona Nursing

    You can also go to your local health department building. It's incredibly cheap. For some it's

  9. New grad as a unit manager

    mrsboots87 replied to aspiringrn1987's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I'm guessing you have heard some naysayers and are either looking for a pat on the back, or some sort of validation that you know more than you do. You probably are a very capable unit manager if you...

  10. How do LVN'S function in Labor and Delivery. What is their scope of practice in California

    mrsboots87 replied to coexsist2's topic in General Nursing

    L&D had a lot of initial assessment, IVP meds, and often requires skills out of scope for an LVN. I can't say for sure, but I am pretty positive that finding an LVN in L&D is like finding...

  11. Dignity Health New Grad Hiring Process

    mrsboots87 replied to mrsboots87's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Dignity both has a new grad residency program as well as hires new grads into regular positions. The positions allowing for new grads will state experience preferred the ines that don't take new...

  12. ICU Question about central line infection control

    mrsboots87 replied to Benj2610's topic in Critical Care

    Also, FYI, IJ's are central lines. There a multitude of CVC's including IJ, SC, TACC lines, ports, HD caths, trialysis caths, swans, all kinds. You can just call them central lines or

  13. ICU Question about central line infection control

    mrsboots87 replied to Benj2610's topic in Critical Care

    Why would you think an IJ or SC would need to be pulled before moving to the floor from the ICU? All nurses use central lines. Not just ICU nurses. I work on a tele unit and one of the surgeons puts...

  14. Stna 2 day clinicals

    mrsboots87 replied to Barbieanna's topic in General Nursing

    I'm am doubting the quality of education you received in your program. Basic contact precautions should be taught in your program. Also, you have likely come in contact with MRSA while at the grocery...

  15. I can't get "poop" taste out of my mouth?

    mrsboots87 replied to Philly85's topic in General Nursing

    You sound like you are new that this and blowing something that was no big deal into something huge. This taste is very likely in your head. If what you were tasting was actually poop, you would...

  16. responsabiities of registered nurse in relation to code of ethics?

    mrsboots87 replied to soufie1no's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    This seems like homework. What are your thoughts? You will get guidance based on what research you've done already to answer this yourself. Once we know what you have, we can help

  17. IM injection gone subcutaneous?

    mrsboots87 replied to Psychrn6685's topic in Patient Medications

    I'm more wondering who taught you to use a 2 inch needle in a 200lb person. 200lb isn't all that large unless the patient was like 5 feet tall. But with the risk associated with hitting a nerve branch...

  18. SSC Concurrent

    mrsboots87 replied to Cassandra86's topic in School, College Programs

    Those letters will mean nothing to anyone outside of your area who knows which schools those are. Your best bet is to post this either in the student forum or in the forum for your

  19. Arizona New Grad Positions 2017

    mrsboots87 replied to BrittanyAlyson13's topic in General Nursing

    Just about every hospital in AZ hires new grads. You just have to actually search the job site for new grad

  20. fired! how to approach interview

    mrsboots87 replied to mauvered's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    A skin assessment is done while completing the head to toe. Did you not do that either? In most patients, this take less than 10 minutes and should be the first thing you do in a shift so you have a...

  21. Tired of job hunting & getting no where!!!!!

    mrsboots87 replied to RN-Que's topic in General Nursing

    Like others have said, LPN experience is almost never counted. And if it is, it's not given very much weight in wage. Your wage will more than likely be based on new grad pay scale for each facility....

  22. Staffing agencies

    mrsboots87 replied to lbenbenek's topic in General Nursing

    What you did was essentially give a 1 week notice to an employer. That's just plain unprofessional. While I get that a full time offer of permanent employment is what you were after all along, it...

  23. New Grad Salary 2017, Arizona

    mrsboots87 replied to johndough's topic in First Year After Licensure

    2-3 months experience is almost nothing. It's barely getting your feet wet and fresh out of orientation. You also don't say if it was Hospital,LTC, what experience. I am barely a year into nursing so...

  24. How quickly did AZBN post your license after NCLEX?

    mrsboots87 replied to kadeedid's topic in Arizona Nursing

    16 hours. It's usually the next morning unless you test on a weekend, there is a hold on your results, or they are unusually busy. Half my class got results the next day with a license posting or the...

  25. Forced to resign after 7 weeks

    mrsboots87 replied to porkdumpling's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I have about a year experience and still ask questions. But only after doing some research myself when I can't find the answer or if it's an emergency and I think I need a quick answer. I have found...
