  2. Duke Nursing, how do I pay for it !!!

    mrsboots87 replied to cje1015's topic in General Nursing

    I would wait until you see what aid package you get since that will differ for each student. But why did you apply for a school you already know you can't afford? I'm not trying to be rude, just...

  3. The Reasoning Behind Nursing Schools' Grading Scales

    mrsboots87 replied to WookieeRN's topic in General Students

    Failing in our school is anything below 76 and proctored points are tallied first, then homework/project points added after to make the final grade. I never really looked into why the grading scale is...

  4. Student Loans... HELP!!

    mrsboots87 replied to TriecyJay's topic in General Students

    Have you shopped around for more affordable schools? If you have gone through your pell grants an federal loans, and still have unreasonable payments, they it sounds like your tuition is too high. You...

  5. Gel Nails

    mrsboots87 replied to er.mere's topic in General Nursing

    My nursing instructor explained that when gel polish gets old, it can start to lift. Then germs can flourish under when the gel is lifting, because gel usually wont chip. Nails polish usually just...

  6. nursing school dismissal and nclex

    mrsboots87 replied to cindy_rn456's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    First off, what other nursing students did or didnt do doesnt affect you and isnt a basis to justify your cheating. The BON doesnt care about the people who weren't caught and you should focus on...

  7. Licensing in compact states

    mrsboots87 replied to CaraDanielle's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    This is pretty normal. Each state BON has its own regulations on licensing. The compact states all have similar/same requirements, hence why your home state license can be used in any of them. I live...

  8. Living on your own as a RN?

    mrsboots87 replied to vintage's topic in General Students

    Oh, to be young and excited yet unknowledgeable about moving out for the first time! Just teasing. Short answer, YES. There is no reason why an RN couldnt live on their own. Unless you have insane...

  9. Mean Nursing Instructor

    mrsboots87 replied to beckvolvo's topic in General Students

    I have heard (but never actually looked because it is not clinical dress policy for my school) that it is either and OSHA suggestion or rule or some other governing body suggestion. I dont know, but...

  10. first semester foundations!!

    mrsboots87 replied to j812's topic in General Students

    There is not always a cut and dry answer for what you should do in a situation because one changed detail about the patient or the conditions will change the answer. You need to study the disease...

  11. PICU Interview - Need help!

    mrsboots87 replied to Muffinmarf's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I do t have advice for you since I'm a still a student. However, if you plan to post more, or even if not, it would be a good idea to change your SN to a more anonymous name instead of your own name...

  12. Nurses req. to be CNA's before becoming a Nurse?

    mrsboots87 replied to Phoenix16, RN's topic in General Nursing

    I beg to differ. Being a CNA will not get you hands on nursing experience, but it will expose you to the nursing environment and get you used to working with patients. Also, you will see nurses and...

  13. Serious problem. I need help!

    mrsboots87 replied to Soiledbrains's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    It doesnt surprise me that who you are supposed to report these things to was not part of your training. But it was supposed to be. As for the nurse who is diverting, you report directly to the BON if...

  14. Fingerprinting for nclex

    mrsboots87 replied to Cez527's topic in Nurse Registration

    This is something you need to ask the Texas BON. You can email or call and they should answer

  15. Do Nursing Students Have a Life?

    mrsboots87 replied to BellaInScrubs's topic in General Students

    Nope. We wither up and die after succumbing to the dreading nursing program!! All kidding aside, whether you are able to enjoy things outside of school or not will depend on you. I, personally, just...

  16. Failed nursing class need help

    mrsboots87 replied to mecha-sorah's topic in General Students

    This will likely have little, if any, affect. Only some new grad programs want your GPA. If your school replaces the failed grade with the new grade, then the facilities who ask for GPA would never...

  17. Nutrition in Growth & Development - Sample Menu with 3 Meals and Calories

    mrsboots87 replied to captivatingcurls's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Just a side bar. Infants are not "supposed to try" foods at 6 months. They can, but there is not anything the 6 month old requires that breast milk or formula cant provide for at least the first year...

  18. I Need Help/Advice Please

    mrsboots87 replied to valliloves's topic in General Students

    I say work on pre reqs for the ADN program. Apply to both the ADN and LVN programs at the same time. Increase the odds of acceptance and all. Apply at more than one school as well. While you are...

  19. No Reports CNA 2 Cnas?

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

    The answer to your question will depend on the type of facility. If this is a long term care, then no report is normal. There is a pretty set routine in the day and after you get to know the...

  20. Conflict of Interest

    mrsboots87 replied to jj1975's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I find the upset about this very silly and think you are overreacting. Facilities don't just make positions for LPNs/RNs because one of their current employees becomes licensed. You have to wait until...

  21. How to calculate for "how much remains after X-Hours?"

    mrsboots87 replied to ChooSoul's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Ey yi yi. I just came back to this and saw my error. So as not to look like an idiot, I just want to note I totally meant that drop factor of 15 means 15gtt/mL not min.

  22. Loans for Daycare

    mrsboots87 replied to mag2124141's topic in General Students

    I'm in AZ. It's qualityfirstaz.com. The program is available through various daycare centers but each center has a limit to the amount of people who can use it at a time. The site has a link for...

  23. IV Certification online course in CA

    mrsboots87 replied to Nurse Chef's topic in General Students

    I think you misunderstood the first reply. Either that or I don't understand what you mean by doing the hands on at school. If your program requires you to be IV certified, it is probably because they...

  24. How to determine what IV to give and how does it work in your body?

    mrsboots87 replied to Vani1925's topic in General Students

    Go to khan academy. There is a great explanation with visuals there. As for why cells can possibly swell with hypotonic is actually simple if you think about why you would give that fluid. If too much...

  25. Newborn Assessment Help

    mrsboots87 replied to C.kim11's topic in General Students

    Our instructor gave us a guide for the head to toe. What will be expected will depend on your instructor but usually vitals and a head to toe are a place to start. As for what to do if the baby cries....
