  1. Please explain a copd patient's oxygen saturation!

    mrsboots87 replied to alpha22's topic in General Students

    I am curious to see your source for that info about COPD being false it is almost what is taught in school currently. In COPD patients their body compensates for the higher than normal CO2 and lower...

  2. Fall 2016 - Scottsdale Community College

    mrsboots87 replied to ashleyg037's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Those two things do not in any way quicken your list through the school. The wait list is exactly the same for everyone no matter what your background is. If you use the partnership program through...

  3. Pneumonia. CAP and VAP simultaneously?

    mrsboots87 replied to LunaTuna's topic in General Students

    Sure, theoretically they probably could. But when the patient is already diagnosed with pneumonia, I don't see why the hospital would test specifically for what types of organisms outside of the...

  4. Are hair accessories unprofessional?

    mrsboots87 replied to silhouettedreams's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I work with a 58 year old nurse who wears a moderate sized bright flower clip in her hair every day to work. No one here cares because it makes her feel good and it's pretty. I think as long as things...

  5. NAU RN-BSN Bridge

    mrsboots87 replied to ashleyg037's topic in Arizona Nursing

    This is incorrect. The RN-BSN program at NAU is only 30 core credits unless there are classes you haven't completed. The per credit cost is correct but they cap cost at 7 credits. So after you pay for...

  6. BON shows failed on Florida website

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

    Why would you question your BON posted results? I get being upset about failing and wanting to have hope. But once it's posted in the BON website, all hope is lost. The license issuing body for a...

  7. Placement 2016

    mrsboots87 replied to iamdarome's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Don't out any stock into what you hear from the schools directly. Only listen to what the placement center tells you. We get a lot of block 1 students and my facility all the time. Recently a clinical...

  8. Please help-Scottsdale Community College

    mrsboots87 replied to karenwlee's topic in Arizona Nursing

    She is not talking about a clinical partnership. I have heard that they either do not offer it anymore, or won't be pretty soon. Since the wait list time reduced, they no longer need to pay for their...

  9. Weird/ Dumb Nursing School Rules

    mrsboots87 replied to Randy RN ASN's topic in General Students

    I won't lie, I do kind of wish there was a general panty rule in the work place lol. I have seen a few nurses with light colored scrubs and patterned panties showing through. It like when someone has...

  10. Weird/ Dumb Nursing School Rules

    mrsboots87 replied to Randy RN ASN's topic in General Students

    Oops. I stand corrected. I think because so many posters delved into what is appropriate dress for or not, i forgot about the facial hair comment in the OP. I am neither here nor there with an opinion...

  11. Just found out I was accepted - Xanax usage

    mrsboots87 replied to charleyq's topic in General Students

    Try not to stress about it. On the H&P you do for the prescreen, the school does not need to know about your Xanax use, just the provider doing the screen. You do not give up your HIPAA rights...

  12. Help with wordings?

    mrsboots87 replied to blueLearning's topic in General Students

    What she probably means is that for complains of you can use c/o, dont say "pinkish", use pink, red, purple, or if its pinkish red then use pink/red. Use PERRLA for pupil reaction. No signs of redness...

  13. I didn't get into Nursing School!! Help!!

    mrsboots87 replied to Jordan1927's topic in General Students

    As you will notice in my original comment, I did state that there are some terrible for profit schools and that all are too expensive for the income that will be made post graduation. But you are...

  14. how long does ATT takes

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

    Be patient. I'm in AZ. I sent in my app a month before graduation (we have preceptorship and know if we will graduate or not at that time). I didn't get my ATT until almost a month after graduation...

  15. Weird/ Dumb Nursing School Rules

    mrsboots87 replied to Randy RN ASN's topic in General Students

    Just wait a it until you start working as a nurse. Wearing "pajamas" to work is fantastic. They are comfy for all the bending an squating. Stretchy for sitting. Easy to wash and care for because they...

  16. Weird/ Dumb Nursing School Rules

    mrsboots87 replied to Randy RN ASN's topic in General Students

    I I think what's being missed here, and not just by who I quoted" is that no one here is talking about being aloud to attend clinical looking frumpy. LECTURE is being discussed. I went to lecture in...

  17. I didn't get into Nursing School!! Help!!

    mrsboots87 replied to Jordan1927's topic in General Students

    Come to AZ. Quite contradictory to what many people have said, there actually are options for nursing school outside of competitive entry. There are of course private schools just about everywhere...

  18. Manual Blood Pressure Reading

    mrsboots87 replied to nursechilespice's topic in General Students

    Aside from accuracy, a main reason for a two step or any variation thereof is actually for patient comfort. Getting your our arm squeezed very tight hurts. For some people who have a lower BP, why...

  19. Loan Max Amount

    mrsboots87 replied to carlra's topic in General Students

    It took me 6 years to get my ADN ( I was part time for pre reqs and took all the BSN pre reqs as well before hand). I still am not close to the loan limit. And this is with me using grants and loans...

  20. Is working as a CNA necessary?

    mrsboots87 replied to BSN_to_ICU's topic in General Students

    This will be dependent on how saturated the area you plan to work in is. All of my classmates who were CNAs had jobs lined up before graduation and were working as an RN within weeks of passing NCLEX,...

  21. Weird/ Dumb Nursing School Rules

    mrsboots87 replied to Randy RN ASN's topic in General Students

    I don't get what the huff and puff at OP is for. I would find the rule to not wear flip flops and shorts to class dumb too. Trading other comments and finding it is in an LDS community makes it...

  22. Loan Max Amount

    mrsboots87 replied to carlra's topic in General Students

    The he problem is OP is not a graduate student. OP only has an AA but has taken an over abundance of credits. OP will not be a graduate student until they hold a Bachelors degree. I don't know if they...

  23. Want to work in hospital to continue education but have a bachelor in something else

    mrsboots87 replied to Up&Away's topic in General Students

    This is us only half correct. Just because something is the way it is where you live does not mean you are correct opinion. OP was pretty clear on what they were looking for but mixed up the correct...

  24. Nurse residency programs--be aware!!

    mrsboots87 replied to LexiRN6's topic in General Students

    Either each state or each hospital system must be different. This is absolutely terrible. People don't go to school for 3-5+ years just to get less than CNA pay for a not guaranteed job. Im in AZ and...

  25. Did I hit the sciatic nerve?

    mrsboots87 replied to Femine91's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I I learned the same thing in my RN program. We were actually "jokingly" told that the only reason to use the dorsal gluteal area is in a double amputee with no ventrogluteal area to stick
