  1. Risk for falls related to...

    mrsboots87 replied to kcolli45's topic in General Students

    This would have been wrong on a school careplan because it is a "risk", there will be no AEB, only r/t. OP, if there are multiple reasons for the fall risk, then put the most vital ones down. When...

  2. road block and then another road block

    mrsboots87 replied to mbtsab's topic in General Students

    If youve reached the 150% cut off, that means you have taken 50% amount of units over what is required for an associated. Basically, an associates is roughly 60 units for most and you have taken 90...

  3. Nursing School No Longer Going by Their Own Policies

    mrsboots87 replied to dholly2015's topic in General Students

    I happen to have done well in my program and followed all policies, passed all checks off and math quizzes on the first attempt, and was not given any special treatment. Yet, I am still in the "mind...

  4. How do you make money not working duruing school?

    mrsboots87 replied to sandiegotrish's topic in General Students

    The majority of nursing students work. Many even full time. Most people font have "mom and dad or a rich spouse." I worked part time, helped raise two young kids, and went to school full time. There...

  5. Need help

    mrsboots87 replied to Rosa0421's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I would be extremely concerned with a professor that says trendlenburg is an appropriate position for a PNA patient. I can o my hope that you misread the question or misread the answer

  6. Pearson Vue Trick Feb 2016

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

    Every state is different in how it reports results. Im in AZ and as long as their isnt a hold placed on your results for some reason, they post to the AZBN license verification the next morning. Some...

  7. The Person Vue Trick "2016"

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

    Seeing as you did not wait the 24 hours before trying, both results are a crap shoot. The NCLEX is scored twice. Once at the facility, and then again within 24 hours. If you do it before the 24 hours...

  8. Patient Complained About Me

    mrsboots87 replied to almost_nurse's topic in General Students

    As a CNA, I yelled at a patient once. I'm pretty easy going and it really takes a lot to get under my skin. My managers and coworkers have always known that about me. I am nice and peachy to even the...

  9. Nursing School No Longer Going by Their Own Policies

    mrsboots87 replied to dholly2015's topic in General Students

    While I agree to some extent that these policies should be followed, I think you are looking way to deep into the grades and lives of other students, when you should be focusing on yourself. Yes...

  10. Did I fail the NCLEX?

    mrsboots87 replied to Chinurse15's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    This is not true at all. SATA are not considered easier or harder then any of the other question types. They simply are questions. It's the content of the question that matters and what cognitive...

  11. Should I "waste" my time getting an ADN?

    mrsboots87 replied to misskayy's topic in General Students

    It is not a waste of time to get a BSN unless there are literally NO jobs for ADN nurses, which I would find hard to believe. In BSN preferred areas ADN's can still get jobs, just maybe not the most...

  12. Dignity Health New Grad Hiring Process

    mrsboots87 replied to mrsboots87's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Even though you didn't accept the dignity spot, that's great you got something else! I passed NCLEX and my license posted a few days ago! Now just on the job

  13. 15 Days to Nclex, been studying for months

    mrsboots87 replied to Chrissygraduatenurse's topic in General Students

    Honestly, if youve been studying that long, then you shouldnt need to cover anymore content. Actual NCLEX questions are weird in that they do require you to know content, but the answers may not be...

  14. What is passing for your nursing program?

    mrsboots87 replied to WanderingWilder's topic in General Students

    Its incredibly common for nursing programs to have a higher passing standard then other program. So yes, a C still equals a degree. The C is just at a higher percentage then it was before. Calling it...

  15. Help! NCLEX question!

    mrsboots87 replied to MJ0HNS0N's topic in General Students

    You should be able to call pearson vue and request to change which state board of nursing to have your results sent to. You can take the NCLEX in any state and have the results forwarded to any state....

  16. Clinical instructor keeps handing out clinical warnings?

    mrsboots87 replied to lilfayfay's topic in General Students

    When I would have an instructor watching me do something, heck or even the nurse if I was doing something with them and not my instructor, I would always review the procedure with them before going...

  17. Pediatric Capability to Consent

    mrsboots87 replied to mdistefs's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    What have you found on this subject so far? Have you used your library research sources? Or maybe there are sections in your books that address

  18. Stumped on a question pls help!

    mrsboots87 replied to natmanzo's topic in General Students

    One thing may help you in the future is not to focus on the vital sign you are assessing and getting that vital sign. You need to ask yourself "why am I doing this?" We don't assess the pulse just to...

  19. LPN-RN unaccredited

    mrsboots87 replied to gcrowe's topic in General Students

    I would advise against attending a non accredited school. Most, if not all, reputable and accredited schools will require you had attended an accredited nursing school in order to apply for your...

  20. Waiting on an Authorization to test

    mrsboots87 replied to Chrissygraduatenurse's topic in General Students

    If your BON acknowledged the school paperwork on Dec 18th, then that does seems bit long. Did you apply before graduation or after? Like is your name in the verification system for your state as...

  21. Waiting on an Authorization to test

    mrsboots87 replied to Chrissygraduatenurse's topic in General Students

    Timeframe is of course state specific. I am in a compact state. The guidelines are generally similar between them, but the BON may vary in time frame between them. But keep in mind when I say 10...

  22. MCCCD Nursing - Campus Choices

    mrsboots87 replied to KittenEars's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I'm not too sure. When I entered block 2, we had lost half the class from block 1. About half of the class was replaced with people repeating block 2. I don't think every cohort loses so many people,...

  23. Waiting on an Authorization to test

    mrsboots87 replied to Chrissygraduatenurse's topic in General Students

    3 weeks isn't that long for a lot of states. Your school has something like 10 business days to send your transcript and course completions info. Then the BON has an additional 10 days from...

  24. MCCCD Nursing - Campus Choices

    mrsboots87 replied to KittenEars's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I went to SCC and LOVED the program. I have heard good things about both Mesa and Phoenix as well. SCC is consistently over 95% NCLEX pass rate but I feel they are a little more difficult to graduate...

  25. Dignity Health New Grad Hiring Process

    mrsboots87 replied to mrsboots87's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Hey. I just got a call from the new grad program manager. I did not get hired. It's ok though. I don't even have a license yet. After I test next week and get my license I'll start applying again. I...
