  1. is having a associates of applied science bad for nursing?

    mrsboots87 replied to eurybia's topic in General Students

    This is not as big a deal as you are making it out to be. You honestly don't actually need a degree to transfer to a uni. Just take the required pre Reqs and any co Reqs that your CC offers and then...

  2. Opinions!!

    mrsboots87 replied to 81shelbay's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Dont start with the introduction. Start in the body. The introduction is to give one an idea of what the essay will be about. So if you are stuck with the introduction, then start with writing a...

  3. Maricopa nursing program

    mrsboots87 replied to jlenocker5's topic in Arizona Nursing

    In my classes it is a prety good split of passes and fails. But again, it is only a small part of your grade. In block 1 at scc, the HESI is 30 of 600 points. And block 2 it is the same. Then for...

  4. Designated "muscle" on clinicals

    mrsboots87 replied to oklamedic2011's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Honetly, just tell them your feelings. Let them know you will help when you can, but not to be a first resort for everything because youa re feeling used. I am a student nurse and a CNA. When I have...

  5. Maricopa nursing program

    mrsboots87 replied to jlenocker5's topic in Arizona Nursing

    As for schedule it is different each semester. Block one is a 4 hour lecture and 7 hour lab, that is also mostly lecture. With tests and sim lab days sprinkled in. Also clincial once a week. Block two...

  6. Maricopa nursing program

    mrsboots87 replied to jlenocker5's topic in Arizona Nursing

    If you fail, it most certainly counts against you. It just isnt a requirement for matriculation to the next semester. But the points still count toward your proctored grade to pass the course. The...

  7. Acceptance, MCC Fall 2015 but would like CEP

    mrsboots87 replied to e_mac682's topic in Arizona Nursing

    So, i check the application status page periodically for friend who are interested in nursing to update on wait times. Anyway, I believe I recently saw a post that if you want to apply for CEP but...

  8. Disorganized clinical

    mrsboots87 replied to studentnursemon86's topic in General Students

    Sound slime your instructor may have been trying to save face in front if the staff RN for getting you guys to the floor late as if it was your fault. My instructors never wait for a late student. We...

  9. Maricopa nursing program

    mrsboots87 replied to jlenocker5's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I thought exam 4 was the easiest. There is a good amount of neuro on it. There will a couple nerve and brain anatomy questions on it. If you havent figured it out yet, --------------- takes a decent...

  10. Maricopa nursing program

    mrsboots87 replied to jlenocker5's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Commuting sucks. I'm block 3 at SCC and come from Maricopa. Not quite as far away as you are, but still a cruddy hour+ drive to get there in traffic. I have not heard anything about either school, but...

  11. Crazy clinicals instructor doesn't like us using the restroom?

    mrsboots87 replied to JESSICAAA159's topic in General Students

    Im just a CNA and work in a very busy LTC where Im running around all day with barely enough time to sit and chart. I still manage to squeeze in at least 2 bathroom breaks and a 30 minute lunch...

  12. Crutches and Clinicals

    mrsboots87 replied to RookieRoo's topic in General Students

    Im typing on my phone and don't proof read. I fail to see how rudely pointing out a spelling error in any way gets your point across or pertains to this conversation. But I guess if it makes you feel...

  13. Doing Clinicals

    mrsboots87 replied to eugenekim213's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    This will depend on your program, but it is highly unlikely you will get to pick a location. My program uses facilities that are next door and facilities that are 30+ miles away. It just depends on...

  14. Crutches and Clinicals

    mrsboots87 replied to RookieRoo's topic in General Students

    There is a very real possibility that you will not be aloud to attend clinical with crutches and/or the air cast. That totally sucks, but it is a liability for both the school and the hospital you are...

  15. Acceptance, MCC Fall 2015 but would like CEP

    mrsboots87 replied to e_mac682's topic in Arizona Nursing

    You will lose your ability to apply to the CEP programs if you accept your spot. If you defer, you would need to be ready to apply by Jun in order to get in for Spring. However, if you accept your...

  16. Not so sure about my first job offer

    mrsboots87 replied to Funsize RN's topic in General Nursing

    I would suggest declining. I am still a student nurse, but am also a CNA in a facility that uses registry agencies a lot. The nurses who come in have sometimes worked at my facility before. Sometimes...

  17. Confused and Need Honest Advice

    mrsboots87 replied to MeghanCheyenne's topic in General Students

    With no job, children, or regular outside distractions this seems feasible. You just have to stay focused and manage your time very well to ensure you get mostly, if not all, A's. Whether you can...

  18. Clinical lesson learned

    mrsboots87 replied to Cruz.Cookie's topic in General Students

    I am not personally offended. It just seems like one of the things you are most upset about is that others were given a second chance when you weren't. I just wanted to give a possible reason as to...

  19. Clinical lesson learned

    mrsboots87 replied to Cruz.Cookie's topic in General Students

    You are still pointing fingers and that probably makes this sting more. I can see that you have found your faults. But at the same time are still pointing fingers. The reason others have been given...

  20. Orthopedic nurse moving to AZ

    mrsboots87 replied to meeks123's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Out here most hospitals that I have seen have separate oncology floors because of certification requirements to admin chemo meds and such. You might get a cancer patient on the other floors if what...

  21. Telling the truth on a peer evaluation for a group project?

    mrsboots87 replied to JESSICAAA159's topic in General Students

    I would rate her poorly and then leave a small note as to why you rated her that way. You gave her a chance by talking to her multiple times and she still did not do her part. The instructor just...

  22. Unresponsive vs. unconscious

    mrsboots87 replied to catnessk's topic in General Students

    Also, DKA is only mildly similar to HHNC in that both patients will high blood glucose levels. But the patient will present to the hospital in markedly different conditions and will be treated a...

  23. Unresponsive vs. unconscious

    mrsboots87 replied to catnessk's topic in General Students

    This is again over thinking. Ensuring patent airway is going to be first for just about everything. However, the question does not mention respiratory distress. The answer you are questioning is about...

  24. Is it safe to visit family member with mrsa & staph infection at their home?

    mrsboots87 replied to JosieLesinski's topic in General Students

    This would be bordering on asking medical advice. As far as your two year old, we don't know his immunity so we cant really say if he would be prone to developing a MRSA infection. However, think...

  25. Maricopa Waiting List / Placement / Timestamps 2010+

    mrsboots87 replied to Maciso's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I know it is for sure at SCC. They sent the current nursing students and students that have attended pre reqs there an email stating that many applicants would get in next semester at their school and...
