  1. New CNA transfer?

    mrsboots87 replied to rachaelbeth17's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Once you have your certificate you should just be able to apply for a "license" by endorsement through the Texas BON or health department. Whoever oversees the CNAs for that

  2. How to know the amount of time is in a strip?

    mrsboots87 replied to ChooSoul's topic in General Students

    This will be in your books. I haven't gotten to EKG reading yet, but I have seen it explained I. The cardiac section of my Med/Surg book. As for fetal monitoring. We just went over this in class and...

  3. CNA at 17 & RN at 19

    mrsboots87 replied to destiny moseley's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I forgot all about that. Good point. Does make 19 seem like a much more reasonable age assuming acceptance into a program right out the gate. So I retract my age of 21-22 seeming more likely since 19...

  4. Hesi petition

    mrsboots87 replied to kfbris56's topic in General Students

    I just wanted to say that I love your profile pick or avatar or whatever its

  5. can i drop bsn school and get aas for now

    mrsboots87 replied to iluvpink29's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    In short. No, you cannot trade your current 2 years at the University for an ASN to sit for NCLEX and start practicing as an RN. This is because you have not completed the nursing core classes. You...

  6. Brookline Phoenix

    mrsboots87 replied to bla80's topic in Arizona Nursing

    If youve done your research and this is the school for you, then thats great. While waiting for more current responses, you can search for brookline college AZ on this site, and it should bring up...

  7. CNA at 17 & RN at 19

    mrsboots87 replied to destiny moseley's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Also make sure the credits are transferable. They may incorporate the sciences into the core class and such and then you would not have a completed science course. If you go to on to continue your...

  8. CNA at 17 & RN at 19

    mrsboots87 replied to destiny moseley's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Have you already completed your PreReqs. A two year program does not usually equal a 2 year degree. There are almost always about 2 years worth of pre requisite courses to even be considered for an RN...

  9. Hesi petition

    mrsboots87 replied to kfbris56's topic in General Students

    I havent personally researched this, but one of my instructors from block 1 said that scoring over 850 on the HESI has a direct correlation with passing the NCLEX on the first try. However, not...

  10. How many chapters?!?!

    mrsboots87 replied to Ancher's topic in General Students

    Dont actually read it all. There are very few nursing students who actually read every assigned chapter. I read maybe 1/5th of the required reading each semester. My instructors lecture well and give...

  11. Brookline Phoenix

    mrsboots87 replied to bla80's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I know you say you are ok on cost, but have you checked the NCLEX pass rates, grad rates, and accreditation. I have not, so i'm not implying if they are a good or bad school, just before you spend...

  12. Maricopa Waiting List / Placement / Timestamps 2010+

    mrsboots87 replied to Maciso's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Hmm. I stand corrected. I guess each of the programs has its own testing

  13. compensation in asthma

    mrsboots87 replied to canadianjess's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I can tell you that my Medical-Surgical text by Lewis, et al, has the patho of asthma and why the body reacts the way it does. Maybe use your nursing school text books. Then if you don't find what you...

  14. Maricopa Waiting List / Placement / Timestamps 2010+

    mrsboots87 replied to Maciso's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Are you at GWCC? Im at SCC and we use HESI, not ATI and there is not a separate fee for it. I want to say that GWCC is the only school in the program that uses ATI instead, but I could be wrong on...

  15. Hesi petition

    mrsboots87 replied to kfbris56's topic in General Students

    I find this petition ridiculous. The school will not take seriously the signatures of random internet strangers who do not attend their program. You could better spend your time trying to leave...

  16. Hesi exit test. How to pass it?

    mrsboots87 replied to Dayli2988's topic in HESI Entrance, Exit Exam

    When you figure that out, can you share it with me. lol. I do fantastic on NCLEX style practice tests and NCLEX style school exams. But for whatever reason, when it comes to HESI I bomb it. For stupid...

  17. Math Help Please.

    mrsboots87 replied to Sarahjohnson39's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    My program required college level math at a minimum. No matter what level math you got to in Highschool. College math had basic stats/probability, algebra, a little geometry and something else. They...

  18. ALERT: Nonsterile IV saline sent to facilities

    mrsboots87 replied to nurseprnRN's topic in General Nursing

    Just looked at the second link and, to me, these are obvious practice solutions. But after reading the comments I have learned that not all schools use practi solutions. So now I understand how this...

  19. ALERT: Nonsterile IV saline sent to facilities

    mrsboots87 replied to nurseprnRN's topic in General Nursing

    Dudette10. I did see the picture and the first thing that stood out to me was the "practi" next to expiration date. All of my schools practice supplies say practi on them and we have been told that no...

  20. Nurse Aides?

    mrsboots87 replied to x0xerika's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Many states allow you to challenge the CNA exam after the first semester of nursing school. That's what I did, and I just got my first CNA job (yay!). To find out if your state allows this, just go to...

  21. Best Scrubs...

    mrsboots87 replied to Itoon's topic in General Students

    I also have a wonderwink set that is a longer length then some others, so if they get those in then def try them. And another lady in the store with me the other day had larger breasts but a small...

  22. Best Scrubs...

    mrsboots87 replied to Itoon's topic in General Students

    Some brands come in petite, regular, and long lengths. Sounds like you need the "long" of a smaller size. If stores dont carry them, they usually at least special order the long length ones. I have a...

  23. If this was your patient what would you do?

    mrsboots87 replied to azalight90's topic in General Students

    Also with that high BP, after assessing, the orders should be checked to see if there are any PRN orders for antihypertensive meds to use in situations like this one. And did anyone check for edema?...

  24. If this was your patient what would you do?

    mrsboots87 replied to azalight90's topic in General Students

    I also find it hard to believe that UK nurses dont use stethoscopes. How do you listen to lungs and bowel sounds? Theres a lot to be learned from lung and bowel sounds. How do you assess the thrush...

  25. ALERT: Nonsterile IV saline sent to facilities

    mrsboots87 replied to nurseprnRN's topic in General Nursing

    So if I am reading this correctly, the bags that were sent to the facility were marked all over with words and phrases to identify the product as a practice solution. Multiple health professionals...
