  1. Advice on getting into NYU nursing

    mrsboots87 replied to v_n_s's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    New York is known for having pretty competitive entry programs. That GPA is pretty low and does not bode well for even having a chance at entry. Not saying absolutely not getting in. Just not very...

  2. Nursing school after bone marrow transplant

    mrsboots87 replied to Ashtinp's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    Just because you don't like my reply does not mean it was tactless. I could have been a whole lot less tactful in my reply but instead went for respectful. But if tactless is how YOU read it, then I...

  3. You know those colorful cartoony pictures??

    mrsboots87 replied to nyc_nurse2b's topic in General Students

    They are Picmonics and there is a book, or books, of them. But that link with the majority of them is pretty neat. The book just groups them into subsections to make the ones you want easier to

  4. Low GPA and NP school

    mrsboots87 replied to jarae's topic in General Students

    Also, for the GPA, think about this. The reason you take all those pre req classes is to get into nursing school. But nursing school classes arent a degree by themself. The pre req classes, plus the...

  5. Low GPA and NP school

    mrsboots87 replied to jarae's topic in General Students

    Of course they will. Many nursing school core classes don't take up 60 credit hours. An ASN will be about 35 ish credit hours. Then the pre reqs and humanities make up the remaining credit hours. Then...

  6. Nursing School Supplies

    mrsboots87 replied to TexRN's topic in General Students

    Tajing notes and studying for nursing classes doesnt take any special supplies. Just whatever you usually use. I am starting block 4 in August and have only needed the basic pens and highlighters for...

  7. TEAS test sold out no open again?!

    mrsboots87 replied to JustineC's topic in General Students

    I don't understand the end of your post. The 7/25 date is available again to pay for or the CC is available? Or are none available? Please clear up what exactly you are upset about and you may get a...

  8. lives in Dallas,depends on bus equals I'll never be a lvn :( what can I do?

    mrsboots87 replied to hopeless87's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    So you completely missed my point and then rambled on about things that have nothing to do with this conversation. Nursing is school is hard. Nursing is harder. Nurses now a days have so much more...

  9. Hoarseness vs hypocalcemia? Which will kill you first?

    mrsboots87 replied to LM NY's topic in General Students

    Also keep in mind that NCLEX world is perfect world. The questions will give you everything you need to know to answer. If you have to add to the answer to make it right then it is probably wrong. My...

  10. Maricopa Wait List Question

    mrsboots87 replied to booblu's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Lol. That's nice. Well now it's just extra explained.

  11. Nursing school after bone marrow transplant

    mrsboots87 replied to Ashtinp's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    Also, there is no waiver available that allows anyone to not complete the health requirements. This isn't even about your bone marrow transplant. People with autoimmune diseases that take medications...

  12. Nursing school after bone marrow transplant

    mrsboots87 replied to Ashtinp's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    Getting paid disability doesn't mean you automatically qualify for ADA benefits. And it doesn't mean a hospital has to ignore their health requirements to let you be there. ADA is used for people with...

  13. Nursing school after bone marrow transplant

    mrsboots87 replied to Ashtinp's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    You are only 23. I get you being impatient, but you need to be thinking of your health. You say you have children. Think of them. If you contract something nasty from clinicals and become debilitated...

  14. Maricopa Wait List Question

    mrsboots87 replied to booblu's topic in Arizona Nursing

    What I was trying to explain is actually different then what you see on the placements page. For example, SCC takes 90 students in block 1. The placement page currently shows 56 openings, with 45 for...

  15. Does it matter whether I have an AA or AS degree?

    mrsboots87 replied to Aquafina1's topic in General Students

    Also be carefully. The track you are in is likely an arts or sciences transfer track. While it is correct that you can transfer to a university with either degree, those degree tracks alone do not...

  16. Does it matter whether I have an AA or AS degree?

    mrsboots87 replied to Aquafina1's topic in General Students

    Whether you get an AA or AS degree doesnt matter. All that matters is that your pre reqs are complete. I would imagine and AS would be the better route as it will reuire more sciences and less...

  17. Lost CNA Hospital job

    mrsboots87 replied to altolover's topic in General Students

    And for the record, your side of the story likely didn't matter. There is nothing you can really say to explain why a patient thought you were incompetent and rude. I know some patients are just mean...

  18. Lost CNA Hospital job

    mrsboots87 replied to altolover's topic in General Students

    This is not meant to hurt your feelings, but you need to be real. I know you are upset about being fired. That totally sucks and is a downer no matter the reason. But even without the patient...

  19. Maricopa Wait List Question

    mrsboots87 replied to booblu's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Actually, the spaces for CEP students are already deducted from the numbers shown on the placement page. SCC can take 90 total students per cohort. But on the placement page, it will only show roughly...

  20. Should I work as CNA while studying for NCLEX

    mrsboots87 replied to ptrevino's topic in General Students

    Once an employer sees you have graduated a nursing program, they will likely trash your resume. They don't want to get you hired on and train you for you to only be there as a CNA for a few months....

  21. Hoarseness vs hypocalcemia? Which will kill you first?

    mrsboots87 replied to LM NY's topic in General Students

    Hoorificeness kills no one. Hoorificeness is merely a s/s of something else. That something else can be something as insignificant as a sore throat from a cold to the throat closing up from all kinds...

  22. clinicals

    mrsboots87 replied to futurepsychrn's topic in General Students

    I think the biggest thing you are missing is this is considered class time. Yes, the school is responsible for you during class time. I do understand the frustration of being required to stay and...

  23. cna certification

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

    Pretty much every state requires that you have taken and passed a CNA course to sit for the exam. Many, but not all, offer CNA education waivers if you have completed the first semester of a nursing...

  24. lives in Dallas,depends on bus equals I'll never be a lvn :( what can I do?

    mrsboots87 replied to hopeless87's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Honestly, I don't think you truly have the heart for it yet. I don't mean this to offend, but are you seriously upset by an entrance exam requiring A&P? Take an A&P class at a community...

  25. Should I retake my B courses?

    mrsboots87 replied to WEEWOOWW's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It depends on the school yhe school your desire nursing program will be at. Some will accept retakes, some only accept retakes if failed grades, and some don't accept retakes at
