  1. I got accepted but....

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

    This is why part of researching which RN/LPN schools to apply to, cost should be figured out. Cost is not a secret and an etra hurdle to jump over. If the cost will be too high, then don't apply to...

  2. ASU vs. GCU RN to BSN

    mrsboots87 replied to ro2878's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Have you considered NAU RN-BSN? Its about half the cost of ASU and the people I know who are in it say it isn't very difficult and is just a lot of paper

  3. Passing end of semester HESI

    mrsboots87 replied to Lana73's topic in HESI Entrance, Exit Exam

    HESI is a whole different monster. I do fantastic on my theory exams (my instructor writes questions for the actual NCLEX and her tests are very difficult), but I have yet to pass a HESI exit exam....

  4. student in need of help

    mrsboots87 replied to boobear0299's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I have to agree with those stating that your third choice was wrong. You have a pretty slim chance of proving that it was correct, especially because I doubt you will find a book reference saying that...

  5. Continue nursing school?

    mrsboots87 replied to nursewannabe71's topic in General Students

    So sorry you didn't pass. But, before you hop to another program look at what YOU did wrong. Not just the anxiety, but what could you have done better overall. Start with math remediation. You are...

  6. The most frustrating part of NS..

    mrsboots87 replied to Heaven-Leigh's topic in General Students

    I feel your pain. I was mere points away from an A last semester in fundamentals and I was SOOOOOO irritated about it. Don't get me wrong, I was super great full that I passed and felt like I learned...

  7. Hazing in school

    mrsboots87 replied to ksuheather's topic in General Students

    I would not consider this bullying either. (side note: that term is used way too much for anyone who doesnt like what someone said to them). It sounds like you had a rough day, but just because the...

  8. NPO after midnight

    mrsboots87 replied to withorwithoutyou's topic in Medical-Surgical

    NPO only means nothing orally. Since IV meds are not swallowed there is no reason not to give them if not contraindicated. This is the same as patients with NPO diet orders on TPN. They are getting...

  9. i failed my nclex rn for the 4th times..

    mrsboots87 replied to akora12345's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I am still a student, so I dont have actual test taking advice, but I can say one thing. It does appear you are trending in the right direction at least. Failing at 76 means you were no where near the...

  10. Maricopa Waiting List / Placement / Timestamps 2010+

    mrsboots87 replied to Maciso's topic in Arizona Nursing

    This is on the acceptance letter. There is a confirmation of intent letter. Instead of selecting to accept the placement, there is a check box to defer the placement. There is no guarantee that you...

  11. acid base imbalance fluid and lytes

    mrsboots87 replied to Nursekrn7's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    There are a few threads on F&E and acid/base balance in this forum that have some good explanations depending on what you need help with. But there's a lot of info to just be spit out. Maybe be...

  12. What kind of supplies will I need for nursing school?

    mrsboots87 posted a topic in General Students

    This will be laid out in your entrance packet or at orientation. Each program has different requirements. Some give you everything and you pay a lab fee for it. Some require you to purchase all your...

  13. Fingerprint Background Check

    mrsboots87 replied to SoCalNurse74's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    The fingerprint background check is FBI level. It will see EVERYTHING. If you have anything on your record, it wold be best to disclose on your application. Depending on the reason for the arrest and...

  14. Stethoscope for School

    mrsboots87 replied to 2bnursebeckky's topic in General Students

    I agree with getting a littman and get the most expensive one you can afford. I have the S.E.II and it works great for me. My friend has the cardiology III and there really is a difference in what you...

  15. Drunk and high students at clinical

    mrsboots87 replied to PerkyNurse55's topic in General Students

    Thats what I was offering as a misunderstanding. Maybe they were out until 5am but werent drinking until 5am. It would be incredibly hard for a bunch of drunk and high student nurses to get past an...

  16. sterile technique

    mrsboots87 replied to annanichole333's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Also, if you contaminate part of your sterile field drape, you can just fold it under and then the inch (or 2) from that new outer edge is the new contamination area and the rest of the sterile drape...

  17. sterile technique

    mrsboots87 replied to annanichole333's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I was taught nothing can touch only the outer inch of the field. If you were taught 2 inches then yes, anything that touches the outer 2 inches is considered contaminated and can't be used. If you are...

  18. defining words

    mrsboots87 replied to mizlaura's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    As for your original question about precautions/special concerns. This is asking what you would want to watch for with this med. Since you have looked up heparin I can assume you know it is an...

  19. Drunk and high students at clinical

    mrsboots87 replied to PerkyNurse55's topic in General Students

    I also have a very hard time believing this story as is. Drunks reek like alcohol. There is no masking it with perfume and lotion. It's just comes out their pores. They also have a sheen to them from...

  20. What kind of supplies will I need for nursing school?

    mrsboots87 replied to mrsboots87's topic in General Students

    I just reported to the admins to see if they can remove the post. I am a block 2 student (soon to be block 3 yay!) and do not need to know what supplies are necessary

  21. What kind of supplies will I need for nursing school?

    mrsboots87 replied to mrsboots87's topic in General Students

    I was not the OP if this. I have no idea why it says I am. That "original post" was my reply to the person who actually asked this. Very

  22. Breastfeeding and nursing school

    mrsboots87 replied to tsm007's topic in General Students

    I totally agree with a good double electric. Glad you have one. I really hope you have a supportive director at your school and at the facility your clinical is at. It's awesome that you are going to...

  23. I really need a better diet...

    mrsboots87 replied to Jen_Loves_Nursing's topic in General Students

    Do you snack while studying? Or maybe in class during lecture? I gained about 8-10 lbs in block 1 and found I would always have little snacks with me while studying or during lecture. Furthermore, I...

  24. Breastfeeding and nursing school

    mrsboots87 replied to tsm007's topic in General Students

    Because how dare we use our breasts for their intended purpose to feed our children!!!! The horror!!!!! lol And as an aside, so my point is not misinterpreted and a debate flair up. I don't care if...

  25. Professors fail everyone?

    mrsboots87 replied to PerkyNurse55's topic in General Students

    Again, why the hate? I am truly curious now. In my original response, I never insinuated any of what you called me out for. You chose to believe that yourself and the sarcastically attack my...
