  1. Handwashing for drug administration & NVA

    mrsboots87 replied to cazrella's topic in General Students

    Also, for testing in school, you will be wearing gloves during an assessment. And you can keep those gloves on the whole time, unless your touch yourself or something dirty. At which point, you just...

  2. Handwashing for drug administration & NVA

    mrsboots87 replied to cazrella's topic in General Students

    You do not need to wash your hands nearly that much. Wash when entering the room. Check arm band. Put on gloves. Do any required assessments with gloves on. Remove gloves. Use pen to not on chart or...

  3. Student Loan Advice

    mrsboots87 replied to pinky77's topic in General Students

    It is very easy to qualify for federal student loans, and it would be silly to just not apply because you think you make too much money. My husband makes pretty good money and we still qualify for...

  4. School issue

    mrsboots87 replied to meagannicole224's topic in General Students

    The director is right in that she cannot discuss the other student's problem with you. There could be various reasons why the other student was awarded a point instead of just throwing out a question...

  5. LPN or RN. Which program is more difficult?

    mrsboots87 replied to ashmckay's topic in General Students

    RTs definitely do a lot more than nurses do when it comes to vent settings and trach care. RNs can do what RTs do with proper training, but RTs entire program is based on how to manage ventilation,...

  6. LPN or RN. Which program is more difficult?

    mrsboots87 replied to ashmckay's topic in General Students

    Now IV cert will definitely be helpful, both for gaining employment and knowledge in general. All of the LPNs I work with at my LTC are IV certified and its good because they dont need to call an RN...

  7. Grand Canyon university help!!

    mrsboots87 replied to lopezvivi's topic in General Students

    I do not go to GCU, but did look into it while waiting for community college acceptance. The price tag may seem a but high, but have you accounted for GPA scholarships they offer? The amount goes up...

  8. LPN or RN. Which program is more difficult?

    mrsboots87 replied to ashmckay's topic in General Students

    OP, both programs will likely be equally difficult, unless one of the schools is cruddy. LPN school is essentially the first year of RN school, with a little extra. Then the bridge program, covers the...

  9. LPN or RN. Which program is more difficult?

    mrsboots87 replied to ashmckay's topic in General Students

    Getting a med tech certification would be redundant and likely not help your friend at all. A med tech just has to show proper knowledge of a safe med pass and knowledge of some pharm. An LPN already...

  10. First Semester Flunkie!

    mrsboots87 replied to QLittlestar's topic in General Students

    See if your school has an appeals process for re entry. You will find it pretty difficult to find another program willing to give you a chance with a nursing school failure on your academic record....

  11. BSN Schools Without Transfer Prerequisites?

    mrsboots87 replied to nursing5275's topic in General Students

    You are making this harder than you need to. The reason you are being told you can't transfer into the nursing programs youve contacted without the pre reqs completed is because at most reputable...

  12. Asking professors for references

    mrsboots87 replied to RookieRoo's topic in General Students

    I still have until December to graduate from my ASN program, but I used my professors for my BSN application a couple months ago. When asking, they let me know they would also be willing to give me...

  13. PRN with set schedule fired for excessive abscenses need advice

    mrsboots87 replied to fortyyogamer's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    What you are referring to only applies for accepting a shift. Once the schedule is made, and you are on it, it is presumed you have accepted that shift. Then you are accountable for all attendance...

  14. CNA requirement after 1st quarter completion?

    mrsboots87 replied to katidid114's topic in General Students

    Oh, and side note. It would bode well for you to not turn your nose up at CNAs. I am about to be a fourth semester student nurse and will be graduating in December this year. Many of the CNAs on this...

  15. CNA requirement after 1st quarter completion?

    mrsboots87 replied to katidid114's topic in General Students

    So, after all the comments basically agreeing wiht RedKriptonite, and saying you should have and still should get your CNA, you choose to only come back and keep personally attacking that user. Its a...

  16. Failing Nursing School Over One Class?!!

    mrsboots87 replied to Britgirl1's topic in General Students

    It seems like you are not getting the point. The instructor had no choice but to mark you as fsiled because you missed 2 clinicals. How do you know you would have failed? You don't. You are just...

  17. Advice on creepy doctors?

    mrsboots87 replied to carterr's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Maybe a fake blood smear in the nether regions as you bend over in front of him again. lol But for reals, thats sexual harassment. No ifs ands or buts. Plain and simple he has taken this too far....

  18. Nursing school bloopers

    mrsboots87 replied to RookieRoo's topic in General Students

    So apparently I forgot my brain today in clinical. I was doing my assessment on my patient. There were some abnormals, did my teaching about IS since she had crackles, explained why she couldnt have...

  19. Nursing school bloopers

    mrsboots87 replied to RookieRoo's topic in General Students

    Med/surg two clinical. We get slightly more acute patients then we did last semester. I was on a neuro tele floor with a tp who was incontinent. They don't use briefs on this unit. Just double chucks...

  20. failed nursing school again

    mrsboots87 replied to snowybee's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    If you only wanted people to tell you to keep going, then why did you ask for advice? Its a hard pill to swallow, but this may not be for you. Or at least right now. Failing twice doesnt mean you...

  21. will you go to the same hospital for all clinicals?

    mrsboots87 replied to B773ER's topic in General Students

    Are you picking your clinical location? Thats a rare find. Most programs just pick for you. Or maybe give a few options for students to bid on, but they usually change each semester due to...

  22. Uniform

    mrsboots87 replied to Laki's topic in General Students

    I dont know where to get scrub skirts, but I would imagine that scrub stores either sell them or can order them. But, i work with a lady CNA who wears skirts to work. It has never seemed to be a...

  23. Maricopa cc cep or rn to bsn?!

    mrsboots87 replied to ceci_bee's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Either way, you will need BIO 205. It doesnt have to be completed before applying at MCC, but I would suggest having it completed before starting the program because the program will be intense. I...

  24. Maricopa Waiting List / Placement / Timestamps 2010+

    mrsboots87 replied to Maciso's topic in Arizona Nursing

    You can call the placement center, but even if they tell you, it doesnt mean much. Its not like a single line of people waiting to get in. the wait depends on your choices and the choices of the...

  25. Help me!

    mrsboots87 replied to manda90's topic in General Students

    I have a 5 and 3 year old. Started my program when they were a year younger. It is doable but you will definitely have to sacrifice some family time. How much depends on how will you learn the...
