  1. NG tube feeding

    mrsboots87 replied to brenns14's topic in General Students

    Your thinking isn't completely wrong. You just didn't quite consider everything. My quick rationale for why I would choose to stop the feed is because placement of the tube is not the priority at this...

  2. Scottsdale community college CEP

    mrsboots87 replied to lopezvivi's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I LOVE this program. All but like 2 of the instructors are fantastic and really want you to succeed. Like 2 of them are just terrible instructors. They are nice but just aren't the best at teaching....

  3. should I stay or should I go?

    mrsboots87 replied to Nurseynurse369's topic in General Nursing

    Thats $400 a pay period pre tax. That is a lot to give up in exchange for the comfort of your current job. I guess the important things to know before switching would be what the work environment will...

  4. Scottsdale community college CEP

    mrsboots87 replied to lopezvivi's topic in Arizona Nursing

    The times listed for classes in my first comment are pretty much spot on. It will change each semester. The days may change if there is some need for a schedule change, but the times are pretty always...

  5. Anxious to find spring 2016 placement

    mrsboots87 replied to jer11ren's topic in Arizona Nursing

    And I hope that I am wrong and this year is different. This wait is

  6. Maricopa Waiting List / Placement / Timestamps 2010+

    mrsboots87 replied to Maciso's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I left this in the other thread but in case people are checking here. I can almost guarantee that the placement run is not currently going and will not update at midnight. The cycles are in Tuesday's...

  7. Anxious to find spring 2016 placement

    mrsboots87 replied to jer11ren's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Offline doesn't mean they are doing placement. Just that they are updating. Placements are on Tuesday's and run at about 10am. They announce on the home page what date the placement will be. Since the...

  8. In my first semester and want another baby

    mrsboots87 replied to TiffanyMcNurse2b's topic in General Students

    Have you considered clinical? Would you be cleared in time to participate. I will sound like a broken record, as I have given the same advice multiple times. This is a terrible idea. Baby fever will...

  9. At wit's end

    mrsboots87 replied to Insearchof's topic in General Students

    You don't want to hear it and that's fine. You may "know" what you did, but you are not actually acknowledging the issue. Hence why I do assume you had other problems as well. Sometimes looking in...

  10. First week of exams

    mrsboots87 replied to natmanzo's topic in General Students

    They do not owe you any hints at what will be required of the essay. If they told you, the everyone would study that part really well. They want to know that you study everything. It is likely the...

  11. False Abuse

    mrsboots87 replied to am1313's topic in General Nursing

    Were you sent home until the investigation is complete? I know this is a law in AZ, but thought it was federal level that when a healthcare worker is accused of abuse or neglect of a resident, they...

  12. Oxygen Therapy and Breathlessness

    mrsboots87 replied to Ana Sofia's topic in General Students

    Breathlessness is not the technical name for what you are describing. Or at least not in the way I understand. But I do understand what you are trying to ask. You will get better response if you try...

  13. Help!! Grad Requirements

    mrsboots87 replied to Waffles2015's topic in General Students

    That's sucky that you got bad info. Sounds like you did what you needed to and still have trouble. Make sure when you go to the counselor you have the math classes available at other online schools...

  14. At wit's end

    mrsboots87 replied to Insearchof's topic in General Students

    Your original story implies you didn't identify your patient once. Then another post states it was twice. Now your last port states it was 3 separate occasions. You are unsafe and I would have...

  15. Having trouble interpreting this ECG

    mrsboots87 replied to JuliusSeizure's topic in Study Tips for Students's Share Tips

    I was talking about RVR. I know what a-fib is and what the strip will look like. But I am not familiar with a-fib with RVR. I'm thinking it means rapid ventricular response since I have heard of it...

  16. Having trouble interpreting this ECG

    mrsboots87 replied to JuliusSeizure's topic in Study Tips for Students's Share Tips

    Also remember that SVT will always be a HR over 150 and usually higher than that. This rate seems to be somewhere between 140-150. Hard to get very accurate since its irregular. But another poster...

  17. Help!! Grad Requirements

    mrsboots87 replied to Waffles2015's topic in General Students

    Did you not see an advisor about your academic plan before now? Or did you not check that all courses were complete before you got this far? I do not intend to be rude by asking. I just don't...

  18. Maricopa RN Time Stamps for 8/6/15

    mrsboots87 replied to NursingAZ's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Pretty good. Block 4 is about 5X more intense than any of the other blocks. I'm taking my classes in 8 weeks so I could take one at a time. Im in the middle of the first one and its not too bad. There...

  19. Nursing student deferred adjudication felony

    mrsboots87 replied to Bebe4's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    Felony injury implies that your grandfather was injured in this dispute. Just a loud argument would usually result in a domestic disturbance type of charge. I cannot say what your BON will decide as...

  20. Blood Pressure and Heart rate

    mrsboots87 replied to Courtneyevans23's topic in General Students

    What semester are you in? This is taught pretty early in my program, but maybe it is different for yours. You medical surgical book will have this answer for. Go to the cardiac section and it will be...

  21. What does your school have you wear to the Pinning Ceremony?

    mrsboots87 replied to KathyVandy's topic in General Students

    I am in AZ, but my school requires we wear whites to pinning. Another school in the same community college district required solid navy scrubs. I like the solid navy better because many hospitals in...

  22. Help please

    mrsboots87 replied to ENKirsty's topic in General Students

    It seems pretty straight forward to me. It is asking what some cultural consideration could be for an indigenous patient. As in an original native of your country. If you are in the US then it would...

  23. I just failed my first nursing exam

    mrsboots87 replied to Student2017555's topic in General Students

    Studying for a test begins on the first lecture for that test. Don't save your studying for just eh couple weeks before a test. Unless you have a test every week or two of course. As soon as you have...

  24. I'm bored

    mrsboots87 replied to direw0lf's topic in General Students

    I know it may seem boring, but this is vital stuff. It is the basics. They can't just dive into the "harder" material and skills right off the bat. Not everyone has healthcare experience, and many...

  25. Anxious to find spring 2016 placement

    mrsboots87 replied to jer11ren's topic in Arizona Nursing

    The will send an email two to three weeks before the selection process starts. This is to remind students to reaffirm that they still wish to attends and put their choices in. Some options are only...
