  1. Professors fail everyone?

    mrsboots87 replied to PerkyNurse55's topic in General Students

    Seriously what is your deal. What I mean by attacking me is that you sarcastically tor apart my first response. You are now calling me a liar which is a) unfounded as I am not a liar nor am I lying,...

  2. Breastfeeding and nursing school

    mrsboots87 replied to tsm007's topic in General Students

    Just a word of caution. (I will preface that I am a breastfeeding advocate who supports all breastfeeding mothers when and wherever they need to feed or pump.) Be prepared for some push back on this....

  3. Professors fail everyone?

    mrsboots87 replied to PerkyNurse55's topic in General Students

    I fail to see what your point in attacking me is. Like what did you get out of it? Were you bullied by someone and are taking it out on me? For your information, I am not a "rhode scholar" who aces...

  4. Professors fail everyone?

    mrsboots87 replied to PerkyNurse55's topic in General Students

    Trust me jetro, nobody is bitter you got extra points. And also know that it is not something to be proud of. Sure you passed because an instructor took pity on you but that was a disservice to you as...

  5. how to change my major to nursing CSUSB

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

    In many schools, your major can't be "nursing" until your are accepted into a nursing program. And honestly, your major plays no role in acceptance so I don't see why it is so important to you to...

  6. Orientation Question

    mrsboots87 replied to JACSN's topic in General Students

    It's just orientation. Some may say to go business casual, but it is not an interview for a job. If they wanted you dressed business casual, your entrance packet or letter would have said so. Just go...

  7. What would you do?

    mrsboots87 replied to ames86's topic in Nursing Career

    I think this depends on where you want to end up in the long run. If SNF or LTC are not your end goals then get out now while you still can. I have heard that after spending too much time in LTC you...

  8. Classes in high school plus GPA and SAT Q's to prepare to be a nursing student?

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

    I could be wrong on this, so disregard if someone says I am. But, I don't believe your high school grades count toward your college GPA. Passing the class will work to waive the need to take basic...

  9. Associate in General Studies towards BSN?

    mrsboots87 replied to e_mac682's topic in Arizona Nursing

    The only thing that matters for AZ nursing programs is that you have completed the ore Reqs for whatever program you apply for. Of course there is competition, but whether you were originally going...

  10. Any way to go from lpn to bsn in less than 2 years? I live in California

    mrsboots87 replied to celtickimba's topic in General Students

    Must be different in every state. Where I'm from, LPN to RN (whether BSN or ADN) takes one year for nursing core as long as all ore Reqs are done for the ADN or BSN program being applied for. Most...

  11. Any way to go from lpn to bsn in less than 2 years? I live in California

    mrsboots87 replied to celtickimba's topic in General Students

    An LPN to RN program should only be 1 year. Have you not done the pre reqs and thats why its 2

  12. Textbook prices?

    mrsboots87 replied to virgo7598's topic in General Students

    Side note: $360 for all your school books.... WOWZA was your program nice to you lol. The package at my school was double the amount of books and was roughly $960. And that didnt include 3 books they...

  13. Professors fail everyone?

    mrsboots87 replied to PerkyNurse55's topic in General Students

    Honestly, don't count on having an exception be made. I have yet to hear of an instructor that will pass an otherwise failed student purely off dedication to succeed. If that were the case, then...

  14. Post semester blues

    mrsboots87 replied to BertG77's topic in General Students

    Don't feel bad. Like a the previous poster stated, there really isn't a whole actually learned in first block that can really be applied. It may seem like a lot because it's all new and they throw a...

  15. Urged to withdraw.....

    mrsboots87 replied to happyhealer's topic in General Students

    Maybe withdrawing and taking some you time is needed before trying to readmit or apply elsewhere. We are all stressed. The reason you are not getting super supportive responses as to your reasons for...

  16. Reapply to BSN program? Or take the ADN seat?

    mrsboots87 replied to KathyVandy's topic in General Students

    It definitely sounds like your guidance counselor gave you incorrect info. Think about it this way. When you get a BS after an AS, all of the classes for your AS count towards your BS. A BS takes...

  17. Job outlook for postpartum nurses

    mrsboots87 replied to Queen2u's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Oh, and also, the HRs for the hospitals are usually pretty transparent about pay, so if you call and ask, they can give you an estimate. Of course it may change when you get hired and they see your...

  18. Job outlook for postpartum nurses

    mrsboots87 replied to Queen2u's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I dont have any exact numbers for you, but can say that a new grad will usually make between 26-33 in whatever area of nursing they get hired into (usually around 28-30 but there are a few places that...

  19. IV starts in nursing schools

    mrsboots87 replied to DaynaPierceMorgan's topic in General Nursing

    I a block 2 student and we had IV lecture and skills lab the second day of block 2. Then we practiced in class for two more lab days. And then had a heavily weighted (grade wise) check off following...

  20. IV catheter changes..

    mrsboots87 replied to RNnewbie2014's topic in General Nursing

    I am just a student and our instructors have drilled into our heads that PIV catheter HAVE to be changed q94hr unless they are a hard stick or have an unusable arm or things like that. But I recently...

  21. number of doses/24 hours? help!

    mrsboots87 replied to sassyann85's topic in Patient Medications

    I am just a student, but what we are taught is that "per day" is midnight to midnight, and "per 24 hrs" is 24 hours from whatever time it currently

  22. Homeless working the system, multiple admissions

    mrsboots87 replied to adnrnstudent's topic in Psychiatric

    I think its not our place to judge. This is pretty similar to drug seekers constantly going to ER. Or people without insurance using the ER for pregnancy tests and other basic ailments. And what I...

  23. nclex practice question help

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

    I dont recall the exact pahtophys behind why you do this for type 1 but I have a general idea. I know it has something to do with the stress response during exercise. Since the DM I patient makes no...

  24. please i need a project topic and materials

    mrsboots87 replied to EDIDIONG's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Thats the entire point of research assignments. Asking a question you dont know the answer to and then, you know, researching that topic. That was a pretty straight forward topic. If you are looking...

  25. Which Nursing Program to choose for Fall 2015?

    mrsboots87 replied to arianne08's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Also, schedule varies by school and by semester. So unless you get an evening/weekend option, the schedule will change every semester
