  1. Almost Done?? Who else?

    mrsboots87 replied to mrsboots87's topic in General Students

    Fantastic!!! Go us!! And thanks to the others and congrats on being near the end of your semesters, even if they aren't your last. It seemed like the end would never come throughout the whole program,...

  2. Appeal Failed Class?

    mrsboots87 replied to a.bowes1's topic in General Students

    Did the other students mention what they did wrong when it happened? Did you? In my program, if you make an error by breaking sterility, you are not failed on the check off if you mention that you...

  3. Maricopa Spring 2016 Block 1 students

    mrsboots87 replied to Mrs.Bookworm's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I am block 4 at SCC currently. From what I have been told, block one and two will no longer have a final practicum as part of the grade. Also, mental health is getting moved to block 2 with med/surg...

  4. LPN Jobs?????

    mrsboots87 replied to cami9273's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I am also in the MCCCD program at SCC. To sit for NCLEX-PN, you first have to take a transition course after you complete block 2. Its like a month or two long I think and covers OB and Mental health....

  5. Can you help me understand the rationale for choosing this IV solution?

    mrsboots87 replied to fatrabbit's topic in General Students

    You're starting to get there and stuff will make more sense when you move into block two and dig deeper into disease processes. The D5NS is due to being NPO. The glucose is only minimally high but...

  6. Question about 12 hr shifts that are overnight

    mrsboots87 replied to Ggraf's topic in General Students

    I believe that for the most part, regular clinicals are day time shifts. I'm sure there are some exceptions, but the school should be pretty open about clinical shift times. Where that could change...

  7. Nursing student: Job offer starting same day as required NCLEX review

    mrsboots87 replied to nurmac's topic in General Students

    So so you have switched from plain old rude to passive aggressive. Childishness is unbecoming. As as far as answering your questions, unless someone is on the specific hiring or recruitment team for...

  8. Nursing student: Job offer starting same day as required NCLEX review

    mrsboots87 replied to nurmac's topic in General Students

    No no need to be incredibly rude. But your reaction to my post is your problem and not mine. You are asking us to tell you what you want to hear and getting upset that we can't. I have not contradicts...

  9. Nursing student: Job offer starting same day as required NCLEX review

    mrsboots87 replied to nurmac's topic in General Students

    Also consider, if this facility hire graduate nurses, then they likely have a new grad program for licensed RNs as well. If not, many other facilities to. This isn't the only job out

  10. Nursing student: Job offer starting same day as required NCLEX review

    mrsboots87 replied to nurmac's topic in General Students

    We all understand what you want. The problem is, none of us can truly advise what can be done. Only your school can. You don't take that review course, then you don't sit for NCLEX and don't become an...

  11. Finished peer 5yrs ago. Now under suspicion but innocent

    mrsboots87 replied to mirasmommy's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I am not a litigious person, but this sounds like it could get messy for whoever reported you and for possibly your employer for not even investigating the claim. Basically someone reported you for...

  12. day shift on med/surg or nights in ICU, which would be better?

    mrsboots87 replied to michigan94's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    This is your 5th or 6th post in the last few days about the exact same thing. People have answered your previous posts. I do not intend to be rude with this at all, but if you didn't get the answer...

  13. LPN Jobs?????

    mrsboots87 replied to cami9273's topic in Arizona Nursing

    It's super rare to find an LPN job for a hospital. As a new grad LPN they will be pretty much non existent. If you get your LPN, then you will likes work in LTC home care, or maybe corrections. What...

  14. Major discrimination

    mrsboots87 replied to bethymaester's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    What a misogynistic jerk. Oh you poor lowly mother. What ever will you do without your husband there to support you while you work? I sure wonder how all these single for mothers out there provide for...

  15. Mayo New Grad RN Residency program (Feb/2016)

    mrsboots87 replied to mrsboots87's topic in Arizona Nursing

    So I got the "thanks but no thanks" email a day or two ago. No luck this time around. Good luck to the remaining applicants and Kendall with her interview this

  16. CNA: From Classroom to Clinical

    mrsboots87 replied to miss.cimone's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    That's still a lot. The skilled should have at least 2 for the 50. 4 is more reasonable, but I have seen crappy places with 1 aid for like 25-30 residents. The residents get crap care because the CNA...

  17. CNA: From Classroom to Clinical

    mrsboots87 replied to miss.cimone's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Mindingmidwifery is spot on, what kind of jacked up facility only has 2 CNAs to 100 residents. Even in states that don't have ratio limits that is just completely unsafe and it would literally be...

  18. nclex question insulin isophane

    mrsboots87 replied to warbau's topic in General Students

    That is pretty long for an NCLEX question. Anyway, what do you think a type 1 diabetic's BS would be after skipping lunch and then working out? this is a very simple knowledge

  19. Can they do this?

    mrsboots87 replied to jkadel's topic in General Students

    Unfortunately, there is likely nothing you can do. The school has every right to dismiss you. Especially since you showed poor judgement and were not exactly honest about knowing you had failed and...

  20. CNA After Block 1?

    mrsboots87 replied to rachaelofcourse's topic in Arizona Nursing

    For clinical, yes block one is pretty much CNA stuff. But in the class you do learn MUCH more then basic CNA education. It's not necessarily difficult, but is a new way of thinking and a lot of info...

  21. Maricopa Spring 2016 Block 1 students

    mrsboots87 replied to Mrs.Bookworm's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Advisors can't add nursing classes for students. They can only sign the add form that allows you to enter the class. If the class just has regular open enrollment, then they just monitor the enrollees...

  22. CNA After Block 1?

    mrsboots87 replied to rachaelofcourse's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Yes, you can sit for the CNA exam after block 1 of the nursing programs. You have the adviser sign a form from the BON website. Once they approve it, you can schedule to take the manual and skills...

  23. Mayo New Grad RN Residency program (Feb/2016)

    mrsboots87 replied to mrsboots87's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Twice a year. There is a Feb start and a June start I

  24. Mayo New Grad RN Residency program (Feb/2016)

    mrsboots87 replied to mrsboots87's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I applied to both because it couldn't hurt. I only have 108 hours of critical care experience through school though, so my chances of getting that spot is even worse then med/surg. But again, why not,...

  25. Has anyone used AMTI for CNA/PCT classes?

    mrsboots87 replied to KittenEars's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I didn't take my CNA course there, but I took my cert test there and the facility looked pretty nice for training. Some of the people who tested with me went there and liked
