  1. Grand Canyon University

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

    Double check that pre req requirement. I could be wrong, but just because you don't need the additional 6 pre Reqs does not mean you won't have to complete those classes to get your degree. In order...

  2. How can I explain Pathophysiology?

    mrsboots87 replied to thor824's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Now that I read the rest of the responses I see why my thought process is different on what a patho can be written on. For our careplans we have to have a primary patho that has to be either a disease...

  3. How can I explain Pathophysiology?

    mrsboots87 replied to thor824's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    GrnTea, I stand corrected. But my question about using a chronic wound as the primary patho for a careplan, isn't a wound caused by either surgery or trauma, or pressure and such, and the a chronic...

  4. What states allow you to challenge the NCLEX-PN?

    mrsboots87 replied to ErikaMarie's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Or maybe, since they take advanced placement students into block 3 who are LPNs, see if you can apply for advanced placement based on you already passing the first and second

  5. What states allow you to challenge the NCLEX-PN?

    mrsboots87 replied to ErikaMarie's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    AZ you have to have completed theory and clinical in geri, med/surg, OB, Peds, and psych in order to sit for LPN. My program as OB/Peds in third semester and psych in fourth with critical care so we...

  6. How can I explain Pathophysiology?

    mrsboots87 replied to thor824's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Don't focus on the wound dehiscence as your patho. Focus on the surgery and focus on wound dehiscence as a complication. Or write your patho on the patients primary disease process and you can include...

  7. Fundamentals completed =)

    mrsboots87 replied to emergenceRN17's topic in General Students

    I couldn't agree more. KNOW YOUR A&P. You need a solid A&P foundation to do well in med surg. You will be thrown a bunch of disease processes with nursing care each week that all revolve...

  8. psychology?

    mrsboots87 replied to mae0218's topic in General Students

    Psych was the first pre req I took. It was taken about 4 years before I started. I aced the class but in the 4 years I remembered very little of it when I started my program. So believe me when I say...

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

    mrsboots87 replied to mrsboots87's topic in General Students

    Around $11000-12000. Unless there is a tuition increase in there before I finish. But not too terrible. ASU would be just under $25000 and GCU just under

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

    mrsboots87 replied to mrsboots87's topic in General Students

    It's NAU. You just have to have at least a 3.0 in all the pre reqs for the RN-BSN program (same as for the CEP) and be passing your nursing core to maintain above a 3.0 cumulative GPA. My campus has a...

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

    mrsboots87 replied to mrsboots87's topic in General Students

    It will be online. The university offers online RN-BSN courses while in the second year of an ADN program. There are just 3 out of the 10 required classes that requires an RN license, but I should be...

  12. Inquiring Minds

    mrsboots87 replied to Glycerine82's topic in General Students

    As a current nursing student, I couldn't agree more with what the previous posters said. The program requires an entirely different way of thinking than your traditional classes. If you learned your...

  13. Meds?!!

    mrsboots87 replied to x0xerika's topic in General Students

    If you absolutely cannot just enjoy your last but of freedom and MUST study, try to at least get an outline from your instructors on what meds will be emphasized during your first course. If you're...

  14. Just took my final

    mrsboots87 replied to studentnursemon86's topic in General Students

    I do the same thing after every final. On my last final I only needed 58/120 to pass with a C and 90/120 to pass with a B. Even with a high margin for passing, I still freaked out the whole time until...

  15. Being a Nervous Newbie

    mrsboots87 replied to happyinmyheart's topic in General Students

    I have to agree that it doesn't have much to do with being naturally very smart. What I meant by naturally good at the program was intended to mean students who just "get" NCLEX style testing. I am...

  16. When looking at colleges (financial aid)

    mrsboots87 replied to losthorizon43's topic in General Students

    While the instructor didn't have to be so rude, it is still the students responsibility to research the out of pocket cost and how they would pay. It is not the instructors responsibility to allow...

  17. I failed my CNA twice

    mrsboots87 replied to RescueNinja123's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Keep in mind that the RN observer is human too. It is possible that their number was slightly off, then your number was slightly off and that difference is what failed you. Also, if they marked you as...

  18. Hiya No prereq. school in Ga

    mrsboots87 replied to Jessica S-V's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Keep in mind that even if you get into a no pre req LPN school, this will not preclude you from completing pre reqs for RN school. You cannot to an LPN-RN program without first taking the pre reqs for...

  19. Books

    mrsboots87 replied to LNOUVRESE's topic in General Students

    Get the Davis Med-Surg success book. It is FANTASTIC and has great rationales for both wrong and right answers. It will really help with application and critical thinking. And its only like $30 on...

  20. Being a Nervous Newbie

    mrsboots87 replied to happyinmyheart's topic in General Students

    Honestly, you will either make it or you wont. I know that isnt very helpful, but I have found that there are those who are just naturally good at this program, those who have to try super hard and...

  21. Block 1 SCC Finals

    mrsboots87 replied to Kssable's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I just saw this, but you should be able to PM me. You just have to have more than 15 posts I believe. Since you have already taken the final at this point, I am sure you figured it out, but yes the...

  22. Pathophysiology Online with GCC or Rio - Was it worth it?

    mrsboots87 replied to Starreacher26's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I took patho online through Rio- 8 week version. Pros- very easy A due to no proctored exams and the instructor states all tests are open book as long as completed within the timeframe. Not as many...

  23. SCC Block 2? and advice for block 1 students

    mrsboots87 replied to Kssable's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Well, funny you should ask. I just took (and passed, woo hoo) my block 2 final today. But I saw the block 1 students as I was leaving, so I know you guys took yours today too. Anyway, block 2 is like...

  24. Health Insurance

    mrsboots87 replied to studentnursemon86's topic in General Students

    Maybe cost is based on state as well as income because we have decent insurance through the marketplace in AZ. My husband owns his own business and I don't work. He doesn't have employees so he...

  25. UTI vs Cystitis

    mrsboots87 replied to crey29's topic in General Students

    Also noting the age of the thread but just thought it would be good to correct the comment stating cystitis is in the bladder, pylo in the ureters, and glomerulo in the kidneys. Pylonephritis is...
