  1. MCCCD Nursing - Campus Choices

    mrsboots87 replied to KittenEars's topic in Arizona Nursing

    This was about 5 years ago, so I don't even know lol. I can say that I haven't actually heard anything good about that program, but that I didn't really look much into it because I never intended to...

  2. CNA Job - Is It Really That Hard To Get a Job?

    mrsboots87 replied to iam_kathryne's topic in General Students

    Also consider that your resume and/or cover letter could be lacking and it's not piquing recruiters interest. Try tweaking it if you think that migh be the reason. If not, then just be persistent with...

  3. BRN transcript question

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

    On your application there would have been a spot for you to list past names you've used for education for this exactl reason. If you gave your maiden name, then you should be ok. Also, my transcript...

  4. Nclex in 6 years

    mrsboots87 replied to Denise32388's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Also consider that having not taken NCLEX in 6 years means you are pretty far out from your program. Even if you can take it, you will be less desirable to employers because they would like someone...

  5. Dispelling NCLEX myths

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

    While this would make sense in regular testing, it does not for adaptive testing. The computer reevaluates your ability after each question and looks at your ability over the last 60 questions. So,...

  6. Dispelling NCLEX myths

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

    The question will tell you if you need to write the unit of measure or not and to what decimal place to

  7. Dispelling NCLEX myths

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

    Just as some anecdotal evidence against SATA being the hardest and meaning you are doing very well. I passed the NCLEX in 75 Qs. I had only like 10 SATA. I didn't count, but there definitely werent...

  8. How to deal with ****** hospital staff

    mrsboots87 replied to R.tchadensis's topic in General Students

    You either misread her intentions or she truly was trying to act superior for whatever reason. I have seen this happen though. I worked in LTC as a CNA before graduating and taking an RN position in...

  9. MCCCD Nursing - Campus Choices

    mrsboots87 replied to KittenEars's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but for those choosing CGCC based on location please keep in mind that the nursing classes are mostly, if not all, held at the satellite campus off Power and the 202....

  10. Dispelling NCLEX myths

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

    The belief about SATA being hardest is a complete myth. It is literally dispelled in this article. SATA are neither harder nor easier then any other kind of questions. They are merely a different...

  11. Is a New Grad qualified for Pool/Float/ or Per Diem?

    mrsboots87 replied to Shanty3710's topic in Arizona Nursing

    HonorHealth actually just posted a new grad float pool position. But it is not PRN. Just to update. I do partially agree with an above poster that float pool is not for everyone. PRN is fine as long...

  12. Should I work as a CNA or wait until I graduate in a few months?

    mrsboots87 replied to Tedstar's topic in General Students

    It is highly unlikely that anyone will hire you with only 3 months to graduation. Especially in the ED with no experience. Even if you have experience, you still likely wouldn't get hired. This is...

  13. Is a New Grad qualified for Pool/Float/ or Per Diem?

    mrsboots87 replied to Shanty3710's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I am orienting right now as a new grad and will be PRN Float once done. However, I worked there as a CNA before becoming an RN. My friend may be getting a PRN job at a different facility and only has...

  14. Dosage answer on nclex 0.1 or .1?

    mrsboots87 replied to cptforge.gil's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I do this too. Dont sctually speak in the test room. If you are going to mouth out a rationale do it silently or a super low whisper as not to be heard. If you are going to map out anatomy for a...

  15. Bedpan Changing Question

    mrsboots87 replied to rnk1712's topic in General Students

    Guess you can't line your bed pan now. Bummer.

  16. Running out of time VS. the 265th question?

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

    And I guess to add to my last response, the ROOT rule means that the test looks at your last 60 scores, not last 60 questions. Your score is adjusted after every question you answer so it looks at...

  17. Running out of time VS. the 265th question?

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

    Are you sure that "final ability"= last question. I was under the impression that final ability was referring to your ability to stay above passing standard in your final 60 questions. I am truly...

  18. Running out of time VS. the 265th question?

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

    You are pretty far off on how this works OP. All of your answers are in the NCSBN FAQs section. Basically, the 60 questions is based on the fact that that is the minimum required questions needed to...

  19. How far would you drive?

    mrsboots87 replied to alliesweetie14's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I used to live in Maricopa and drove to SCC. I had Scottsdale Shea for clinical. It took me over an hour every day. After I moved during third block, I still had to go to Mayo as my furthest clinical...

  20. Bedpan Changing Question

    mrsboots87 replied to rnk1712's topic in General Students

    What makes this rule even more stupid is that wipes are a billable item. Or at least they are where I work. Some hospitals may not bill for them, but that's their choice. Obviously we don't want to be...

  21. Bedpan Changing Question

    mrsboots87 replied to rnk1712's topic in General Students

    Haha When I was a CNA, another aide showed me this after I complained about a peanut butter poop being stuck in the pan and having to use my gloved hand (double of course) to literally pick the poop...

  22. Question about Medication

    mrsboots87 replied to FromtheGroundUp's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    You are over thinking this. Your patient is in Lasix. That is one reason to possibly supplement with potassium. They may be on other medications that affect potassium or have a condition that effects...

  23. Nursing where you were a CNA

    mrsboots87 replied to Kip812's topic in General Students

    So far there haven't been any major issues for me. I am a new grad nurse at the same facility and same unit I was a CNA on. I get congrats from my coworkers, CNAs and nurses alike. The only issues...

  24. Risk for falls related to...

    mrsboots87 replied to kcolli45's topic in General Students

    I have seen "AEB" on "risk for" diagnoses before too. Just not in school. Typical difference between school and real life nursing as usual.

  25. Bedpan Changing Question

    mrsboots87 replied to rnk1712's topic in General Students

    Don't bring the bedpan out of the room. That is more unsanitary then using the patient sink. Just dump the contents of the bedpan into the toilet. Then use the sink to rinse the pan while dumping the...
