  1. Nursing school textbooks

    mrsboots87 replied to natmanzo's topic in General Students

    I shopped between Amazon, textbooks.com, and chegg. I purchased what ever was cheapest between the 3 and saved like $400 between all my book and I bought all new. If I had bought used (which I should...

  2. Scottsdale community college CEP

    mrsboots87 replied to lopezvivi's topic in Arizona Nursing

    The schedule does change every semester, but as far as I'm aware each block keeps its schedule each semester. Block 1: - Class Tuesday 8-2:30 - Lab either Thursday or Friday depending on your...

  3. What separates sucessful nursing students from the rest

    mrsboots87 replied to Valcorie34's topic in General Students

    There isnt really any advice that will work for everyone. People kind of have to figure themselves out in nursing school. I am luck and just have a natural nack for learning the material. There are...

  4. MCC-GCU MSN Program

    mrsboots87 replied to NursingAZ's topic in Arizona Nursing

    This will not help you get a floor nurse position and can, in some cases, actually hinder your getting a job. Direct entry MSN programs still leave you as an entry level nurse. So you will not be...

  5. Nclex is my worst nightmare

    mrsboots87 replied to Realkingston13's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Ebonyprincess, are you referring to me as the reprimanding CNA. Because it is pretty ignorant to assume I don't know the struggle. I am a final semester nursing student who will be taking NCLEX-RN in...

  6. Seeing the Light

    mrsboots87 replied to NurseGirl525's topic in General Students

    You can do this!!!! Just keep the end goal in sight. After last semester I was so ready for summer break. It was a tough semester; had some sick kids twice (one hospitalized for a short time), had...

  7. RN to BSN Recommendations?

    mrsboots87 replied to Vdaniels15's topic in Arizona Nursing

    NAU is the only AZ university (that I'm aware of) that allows dual enrollment in the RN-BSN program starting in block 3. The rest wont admit until you have passed NCLEX. The classes you need to take...

  8. Access and HIPPA

    mrsboots87 replied to friggasdistaff's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    Just make sure you request her to not be part of your care. There may be a way to block her access to your chart by callng the facility ahead of time, but as long as she is not part of your care it...

  9. What will happen if you miss a college class?

    mrsboots87 replied to KAThftf's topic in General Nursing

    I vote you put your adult pants on today and tell your mother you are rescheduling your doctors appointment so you can attend class. Unless you are a high school student who is dually enrolled in...

  10. How do you do well in nursing school and keep your spouse happy?

    mrsboots87 replied to Godizmydad21's topic in General Students

    This. Especially #5. We pre cook meals. Or I leave detailed instructions for hubby to cook easy meals. Its cute that he tries lol. We get healthcare appts done before the semester and pray for no...

  11. Why are the floor nurses so unwilling to teach?

    mrsboots87 replied to 2bnursebeckky's topic in General Students

    I have a story that completely supports what the seasoned nurses are saying. I am about to go into my final semester of nursing school. When I was in second semester on my first med/surg rotation this...

  12. Nclex is my worst nightmare

    mrsboots87 replied to Realkingston13's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Why in the world should NCLEX be made easier?!? Its hard for a reason. Not everyone should be a nurse, and if someone cant critically think through a question, then they likely will have trouble in...

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

    mrsboots87 replied to NursingAZ's topic in Arizona Nursing

    They wont give exact timestamps because those don't matter so much due to how they place. But, they may be able to tell you what the latest month that was recently placed was and if there are still a...

  14. Please, someone give me some clarity..The BSN route is looking a lot more fulfilling

    mrsboots87 replied to Beautiful_Soul's topic in General Students

    You have stated multiple times that you could just be getting your BSN. So then why don't you? It sounds like you already made up your mind but are looking for validation. You don't need it. If you...

  15. Pregnancy and nursing

    mrsboots87 replied to SayRPN's topic in General Students

    What is not being mentioned here is clinical. When will you start that? In order to attend clinical you will have to obtain clearance from your OB. Most credible doctors will not clear you for...

  16. Unsolved drug diversion- entering nursing classes

    mrsboots87 replied to mdpl's topic in General Students

    Oh, if it was the officer, then it was probably just a scare tactic. You post is a bit hard to understand, but why were the cops even called. At my facility, there have been 2 nurses accused of...

  17. Unsolved drug diversion- entering nursing classes

    mrsboots87 replied to mdpl's topic in General Students

    You currently don't have drug related charges so your loans are fine. If you did, you have a lawyer (hopefully) and be fighting a criminal charge in court. I would be more worried if this was reported...

  18. Maricopa Waiting List / Placement / Timestamps 2010+

    mrsboots87 replied to Maciso's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I can vouge for SCC being a fantastic program. If you put in the effort, the instructors really want to see you exceed. I havent seen any bullying or anything like that toward specific students. I...

  19. RN-BSN Help

    mrsboots87 replied to HeyHeyHeyAZ's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I ultimately chose NAU due to it being the least expensive quality University in Phoenix Metro. However, I did research ASU, UofA, GCU, and NAU before choosing. ASU and UofA are the most expensive....

  20. Maricopa Spring 2016 Block 1 students

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

    NursingAZ, you will get an email telling you to reaffirm your status and then to select your top 5 about a month before placement starts for th following semester. You have to reaffirm every semester...

  21. What happens when you fill out an incident report?

    mrsboots87 replied to Bellaxx392's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    You will likely not lose your job unless you have had other incidents in the past or have upset the wrong person in your facility. Write up? Maybe. Some in service? Probably. When I assist a resident...

  22. New way of feeding residents in long term care nursing homes

    mrsboots87 replied to busyrn92's topic in General Nursing

    We have a similar set up at my LTC, except dietary does a lot more then just stand there and scoop food. It's their job. We have two aids work the floor for the residents who eat in their room and to...

  23. Practice NCLEX question

    mrsboots87 replied to guest769224's topic in General Students

    As an aside, its questions like this that I wish had an "all of the above" answer because lets be real, whatever you give that two year old will only keep him busy for like 10-15 minutes tops (if...

  24. Practice NCLEX question

    mrsboots87 replied to guest769224's topic in General Students

  25. Sophomore Nursing Student - Delayed Graduation

    mrsboots87 replied to linjm109's topic in General Students

    I love the previous posters comment. Use this time to really learn and understand the content of the course you just failed. These courses arent just fillers for your nursing degree. They are...
