  1. Maricopa Waiting List / Placement / Timestamps 2010+

    mrsboots87 replied to Maciso's topic in Arizona Nursing

    If you buy at the bookstore, it will be about $1000 give or take a few bucks. If you order online using a combination of amazon, chegg, and textboks.com, then its much cheaper. I got all the books...

  2. RT to RN online programs? which is the best

    mrsboots87 replied to chriswv33's topic in General Nursing

    I would not go by what the person you spoke to tried to sell. Go by state BON requirements. Each state has it's own regulations on required clinical and class time as well as what competences have to...

  3. Methadone babies

    mrsboots87 replied to gyp253's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Chare and others. Just wanted to note I am a student about to start my peds/OB semester and didn't realize I had ventures out of the student forum on this topic. I sometimes read the "latest" stuff...

  4. Clinicals and stethoscope?

    mrsboots87 replied to GodIs082010's topic in General Students

    I have the S.E. II. I paid about $75 with engraving of my name. It has worked out great for me. There are a couple people in my class who have the cardiology III and even though the sounds are a...

  5. Pearson Vue Trick 2015 Latest

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

    I was not being negative in any way. I actually congratulated you on passing. You must have read my comment in a negative way, which is on you and not me. I have heard of people who did the "trick"...

  6. Maricopa Waiting List / Placement / Timestamps 2010+

    mrsboots87 replied to Maciso's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I waited 2.5 years to start. I was recently sent an email that based on current applicant pool choices, SCC wait is 1-2 semesters. Dont know how the other schools are, but I have heard the wait time...

  7. Haematuria post female catheterisation

    mrsboots87 replied to Blueberries's topic in General Nursing

    I would think that if your catheterization procedure caused her hematuria that the blood would have presented either immediately or very shortly after. Since it was a whole day, it seems likely that...

  8. Pearson Vue Trick 2015 Latest

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

    You should tell that to the people who got the good pop up (with the new updates) who still failed. Or the ones who's cards got charged for them to later find out they passed but could not get a...

  9. Transfering schools

    mrsboots87 replied to Mygenericusername's topic in General Students

    You're lucky to even find a program even willing to give you credit for your nursing 1 core classes. As far as how hard, that's a matter of perspective. I don't exactly understand what you're asking...

  10. Run-in with a doctor

    mrsboots87 replied to Nurse_Gaby's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I am just a student, but when having my two children in the hospital, the nurse measurements were always off from the doctor. The way they explained to me was that L&D nurses do this all day...

  11. Will this look bad?

    mrsboots87 replied to AnnieOaklyRN's topic in Critical Care

    I think in most cases it would be fine. Hospitals know you may have more than one interest or are trying to cast a wide

  12. Methadone babies

    mrsboots87 replied to gyp253's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Maybe she is breastfeeding even though she probably shouldn't

  13. Chamberlain vs. GateWay Community College...Decisions!

    mrsboots87 replied to taylor92's topic in General Students

    To add to RedKriptonite, my med/surg 1 clinicals were at Scottsdale healthcare- Shea campus, and I met quite a few ADN nurses within their first year of nursing. One told me they like BSNs but look at...

  14. What kind of watch?

    mrsboots87 replied to PoodleLover86's topic in General Students

    One thing people have not mentioned yet, you also have to consider the "dirty" work you will do as a nurse and if you really want to ruin a nice watch while cleaning up poop or vomit. I have a nurse...

  15. U.S. History ll Clep test

    mrsboots87 replied to molly2015's topic in General Students

    Now that's an

  16. Chamberlain vs. GateWay Community College...Decisions!

    mrsboots87 replied to taylor92's topic in General Students

    No. Outside of CEP, ASU and GCU only offer the RN-BSN after getting your RN license. NAU is the only one, that I'm aware of anyway, that will allow a traditional ADN student to start the bridge...

  17. Grand Canyon University

    mrsboots87 replied to Bunnybop's topic in School, College Programs

    Sweet! Sounds like your good to go then. That's nice to not have to take a whole other year (less if you ham pack semesters) just to get in. Good

  18. How can I explain Pathophysiology?

    mrsboots87 replied to thor824's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    No, def not. We have to write our pathos and integrated patho from medical diagnoses or procedures, but I base my nursing diagnoses off my assessment taking labs and medical diagnoses into account...

  19. Just graduated but I am sad

    mrsboots87 replied to Ozzy84's topic in General Students

    No reason to be upset. You passed. Some classmates didn't pass, and maybe there was some intentional harshness from the instructor as retaliation for reporting her, but that's life. It's not always...

  20. U.S. History ll Clep test

    mrsboots87 replied to molly2015's topic in General Students

    Ohhhh. I misunderstood. I hadn't heard of a CLEP until this forum. From my understanding it is taking an exam that shows knowledge proficiency in a course in order to not have to take that

  21. Chamberlain vs. GateWay Community College...Decisions!

    mrsboots87 replied to taylor92's topic in General Students

    Oh, and like another said, hospitals all hire "RNs" because RN is a license not a degree. What you were trying to say was the difference between an ADN and a BSN trained RN. RN= Registered Nurse....

  22. Chamberlain vs. GateWay Community College...Decisions!

    mrsboots87 replied to taylor92's topic in General Students

    I would say to go to GWCC. Chamberlain has a pretty good rep in AZ and s properly accredited. But it is terribly expensive. Much more than you would expect to make in a year. Also, many hospitals do...

  23. Maricopa Waiting List / Placement / Timestamps 2010+

    mrsboots87 replied to Maciso's topic in Arizona Nursing

    You will get a supply list in your orientation packet or at your orientation meeting. But basically, you will need: -Stethoscope -All white or all black closed toe and closed heel shoes (except they...

  24. How can I explain Pathophysiology?

    mrsboots87 replied to thor824's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Sorry. Our class just calls them pathos. It's the part of our careplan where we pick the primary disease process/illness or injury/surgery driving the nursing care for the patient and we write a...

  25. U.S. History ll Clep test

    mrsboots87 replied to molly2015's topic in General Students

    As weird as this is, there is a state university here that requires two years of foreign language and a history class as a pre req to their nursing program. It's the only one I know of in our entire...
