  1. nursing admission troubles (low overall GPA, high prereq GPA)

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

    I live in AZ. One option is to apply to the MCCCD ADN program. It is a wait list program that only requires passing the English and math portions of the HESI with an 85% and completing the pre Reqs...

  2. To be a CNA or not to be a CNA (in nursing school)

    mrsboots87 replied to graceful151's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    If say to keep the job, or at least PRN as you suggest. You may not want to work in this area when you graduate, but what if something happens between now and when you graduate? Life happens and plan...

  3. N95 Mask

    mrsboots87 replied to mj62308's topic in General Students

    I agree with just asking your instructor to fit test you again. Be honest and let her know that you were congested and your senses were off because of it and now you are not sure if you were fit...

  4. What to Review Before LPN ??

    mrsboots87 replied to Britgirl1's topic in General Students

    Honestly, what you're already reviewing is great. Unless there is another area of A&P you struggle in. For me, I struggled with cardiac, neuro, and immune. Of course 3 of the biggies lol. But a...

  5. Nursing School Note Taking Advice

    mrsboots87 replied to jfantacone09's topic in General Students

    I agree with Esme on just buying the book. It can be used in addition to your notes for both prepping for exams in school, and then also for reviewing before your NCLEX. If not the Saunders, then...

  6. Questions about quick results

    mrsboots87 replied to elcid123's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I could be wrong, but the quick results is your actual result, not a tentative one. Since the test is computerized, it knows if you passed or failed the moment you finish. Hence why the test shuts...

  7. Job prospect for males

    mrsboots87 replied to kabooski's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Again, you are applying gender to your woes. So there are 100 student in your class. 2 of 18 have gotten a job. That means that 10 out of 88 females have gotten a job. Simple math shows that roughly...

  8. Senate bill changes FT status for healthcare purposes to 40 hours a week leaving us out

    mrsboots87 replied to MsConstrued's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Will this be based on scheduled hours or actual hours worked. I know most 36 hour weeks actually end up being over 40. If it's based on scheduled hours that's just not fair to health care...

  9. GCC Weekend Day and MCC Late Start Info.

    mrsboots87 replied to jbarboza22's topic in Arizona Nursing

    The schedules get posted all the time. You can find them in the wait list thread as well as a few others that have all been posted within the last 6 months. Just use the search

  10. Maricopa Waiting List / Placement / Timestamps 2010+

    mrsboots87 replied to Maciso's topic in Arizona Nursing

    The quoted cost online is the total cost from start to finish. Not the cost to start the program. Books: $500-$1100 depending on if you buy new or used and at the bookstore online. Health...

  11. Quick results after testing on a Saturday

    mrsboots87 replied to christina731's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Business hours is not literal. It does not mean wait a full 48 working hours based on how many hours the office is open. 48 hours = 2 days which would be 2 business days. It most likely will not be...

  12. Chest tubes

    mrsboots87 replied to Iliauna's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    The collection chamber is kind of like a vacuum chamber. There is negative pressure in the collection chamber du to the suction from the wall. So when air comes into the collection chamber from the...

  13. Interview & pregnant?

    mrsboots87 replied to KJoRN81's topic in Nursing Career

    Even though it is technically illegal to discriminate based on pregnancy, we all know it happens all the time. I would suggest hiding the bump, as you mentioned, for now until you are through the...

  14. Yay!! On to block 3 for me!!!

    mrsboots87 posted a topic in General Students

    I know the board is littered with "I passed/failed" threads right now but I just wanted to celebrate too. Passed med/surg 1 with a B and start block 3 with OB/Peds and med/surg 2 in 5 weeks. I'm so...

  15. Maricopa Waiting List / Placement / Timestamps 2010+

    mrsboots87 replied to Maciso's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I laughed at the book advance when I was about to start. I luckily got a heads up from prev students about the cost just to start with supplies, uniforms, books etc, so I saved money from my prev...

  16. Bio 202 at Rio

    mrsboots87 replied to Maycation's topic in Arizona Nursing

    BIO 202 at RIO is pretty intensive. The course is almost completely online, but you have 2 proctored exams. There will be 2 essay every week or two, plus quizes (which are open book and not timed),...

  17. Yay!! On to block 3 for me!!!

    mrsboots87 replied to mrsboots87's topic in General Students

    Med/surg 2 is half of block 3. Then critical care and psych is block

  18. Venting and Sub-par Programs

    mrsboots87 replied to MedicalPartisan's topic in General Students

    And I do realize this could be state specific and maybe yours allows for peds/OB to completely sim lab without actual clinical. If so then you are fine. But in my state, we are required to have a...

  19. Venting and Sub-par Programs

    mrsboots87 replied to MedicalPartisan's topic in General Students

    If investigated by the board, it will come out that there were no actual clinical hours. They would have to have a contract with a facility and an agreement for the students to be at the site. If...

  20. Question regarding disclosure of health information

    mrsboots87 replied to Student199's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Only if the family is the medical POA or if the patient has previously stated that it is ok to share their health information. If the patient is incapacitated or too confused to give consent, then it...

  21. Job prospect for males

    mrsboots87 replied to kabooski's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Your issue has nothing to do with your gender. There are plenty of male CNAs and not all female student nurses are CNAs. There could be many factors playing against you. Even though a nurse intern or...

  22. Difference between Hypokalemia and Hyponatremia

    mrsboots87 replied to rbscc's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Why dont you just use both sources? No one said you have to study from just one source. And the previous poster was trying to tell you to look in a nursing text book. But no matter the source you use,...

  23. Venting and Sub-par Programs

    mrsboots87 replied to MedicalPartisan's topic in General Students

    ALso make sure you can even take the NCLEX without clinical experience in maternal health. Most, if not all, states will have a minimum clinical hour requirement for each field required. And only some...

  24. How would you break these up?

    mrsboots87 replied to kolabee's topic in General Students

    I agree with taking chem, algebra, and stats together. Chem has good base content for A/P and micro. In my program, chem was required as a pre req to micro and A/P for that reason. And anatomy is good...

  25. Maricopa Waiting List / Placement / Timestamps 2010+

    mrsboots87 replied to Maciso's topic in Arizona Nursing

    And I already got my book advance for the semester a couple days ago. Which option did you select for recieving it? MCCCD recently switched to discovers money network card from the old city bank card....
