  1. Loans for Daycare

    mrsboots87 replied to mag2124141's topic in General Students

    I agree with checking for state or privately funded options. I'm in AZ and there is a program (first something or other) that is separate from DES supported child care. It is like a scholarship for...

  2. Missed clinical! :(

    mrsboots87 replied to tbear1206's topic in General Students

    Windsurfer, if you are referring to my comment, then it wasn't interpreted correctly. First off, I have never been late not missed a clinical. What I meant by thankful they are more lenient is in...

  3. When giving up is not a option

    mrsboots87 replied to hopefaithlove32's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    Your best bet is to contact the BON directly. You may be able to get I to a program no problem. But what matters is if you can get licensed with the BON. You can call or email and they can advise....

  4. Criminal background checks

    mrsboots87 replied to tjones85's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    These are very recent issues, which does not look good. You may have no issue getting into a school, the problem lays in getting licensed by your BON. Your best bet is to contact the BON for your...

  5. Does it look bad to write a longer essay than what they asked?

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

    In my experience, keep it within the limit. That limit is because they don't want overly wordy, long winded essays. They want to see that you can follow directions and can condense your writing to...

  6. Missed clinical! :(

    mrsboots87 replied to tbear1206's topic in General Students

    We don't get dismissed for missed clinical unless it is repetitive because our school is able to obtain more then the BON required minimum hours. But it will get a clinical write up the first time....

  7. Missed clinical! :(

    mrsboots87 replied to tbear1206's topic in General Students

    Just want to mention that auto fail got the best of me. I was trying to say that most schools DONT have make up clinical. You miss it and that's just too

  8. Maricopa Waiting List / Placement / Timestamps 2010+

    mrsboots87 replied to Maciso's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Just read your article and see where your misinterpretation happened. What you read about applying early is for "non federal" aid. Read that as not pell grants. Non federal aid means scholarships. You...

  9. Maricopa Waiting List / Placement / Timestamps 2010+

    mrsboots87 replied to Maciso's topic in Arizona Nursing

    If you want to apply and have more work then that's up to you. But when you apply has no bearing on how much aid you get. It's not first come first served because your application is not completely...

  10. Phlebotomy/tourniquet help

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

    This the easiest part if the whole process. It sounds like nerves are getting the best of you. Remember, the point of a tourniquet is to cut off or severely reduce blood flow temporarily so the veins...

  11. Maricopa Waiting List / Placement / Timestamps 2010+

    mrsboots87 replied to Maciso's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Also, finalization of grant amounts is not complete until after the filing deadline for each semester. If there were to be a higher number of applicants then there is full aid for, then everybody's...

  12. Maricopa Waiting List / Placement / Timestamps 2010+

    mrsboots87 replied to Maciso's topic in Arizona Nursing

    That's not how it works at all. I'm sure there is a cap somewhere, but the schools haven't reached it in the 5 years I have been in school. I apply usually in June of each year and have never had a...

  13. New Grad Moving to Phx.. L&D job?

    mrsboots87 replied to MLvb52789's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Market out here isn't the best. With a BSN and L&D capstone, you will at least have an edge on your application, but finding a hospital job, let alone in L&D is very competitive. GL and...

  14. Advice for Nursing schools please!

    mrsboots87 replied to Apple8's topic in General Students

    Correct me if wrong. You don't like this school because even after lecture and personal study time, you think it's the lack of "experienced" tutors that is causing you to fail? I hate to break it to...

  15. Nursing Interview questions (class project)

    mrsboots87 replied to loyap's topic in General Students

    This is not the point of this assignment. You will not find it easy to get free answers to your homework as it is seen as the equivalent as having the nurses who come here do your homework. GrnTea and...

  16. UWG CNA certification requirement

    mrsboots87 replied to Arsilver13's topic in General Students

    And that time frame doesn't account for if you fail the first try and have to retake either the manual or skills exam or both. It happens more often then you would think. You only have 3.5 months to...

  17. UWG CNA certification requirement

    mrsboots87 replied to Arsilver13's topic in General Students

    I would def say not to wait. Finishing the CNA program does not make you a CNA. You would still have to take the certification exam and apply for certification. This process can take weeks to months....

  18. Isotonic, Hypotonic and Hypertonic IV solutions

    mrsboots87 replied to jneeley's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Are you talking about 1/4 NS or 1/4 of a bag of NS? 0.9% saline is just NS. If it is not 0.9% then it is not NS. It would be 1/4 NS or 0.5 NS. I have not heard of a solution called 1/4 0.9% NS. Only...

  19. Missed clinical! :(

    mrsboots87 replied to tbear1206's topic in General Students

    Just want to note that many programs do have the ability to allow make up clinical. OP, just do your best not to let it happen again. It was an accident and not the no for you. As for the facility....

  20. Dreams/nightmares about nursing school?

    mrsboots87 posted a topic in General Students

    Is it just me or do other students have bad dreams about school? I have had dreams about waking up to find my scrub bottoms shredded and my backup was dirty and I was late to clinical because I had to...

  21. Feeling Frustrated

    mrsboots87 replied to cnatoBe's topic in General Nursing

    Hospitals are incredibly hard to get into without experience. I suggest you work your way up. Start at an LTC or similar. Get a year or two under your belt and then apply to hospitals. Your job...

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

    mrsboots87 replied to ChooSoul's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Drop factor of 15 = 15gtt/min. She did give the

  23. Maricopa Waiting List / Placement / Timestamps 2010+

    mrsboots87 replied to Maciso's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Dont select all those schools on your fafsa. It just creates more work for everybody. FAFSA will send your application to each school you select and then that will have them run your app and work out...

  24. NO License # only name appears as RN

    mrsboots87 replied to work77's topic in General Nursing

    On my state, your name gets listed as either CNA, RN, or LPN when trying to verify. Then when you click on the title, it will either say "not issued" or have a license/cert number. This is because...

  25. Starting first CNA Home health care job

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

    Run for the hills. It seems as if you didn't even get a background check. They didn't care if you had experience. They likely need a Lott of workers because they don't have many. Rd flags all over the...
