  1. Which Nursing Program to choose for Fall 2015?

    mrsboots87 replied to arianne08's topic in Arizona Nursing

    All of this can be found on each of the school websites if you do just a little research. I know as far as the CCs go, its roughly $7000 from start to finish (after pre reqs), plus whatever the...

  2. Need help with Hesi

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

    This is entirely what nursing school is about. Learning interventions and best actions. Hesi uses NCLEX style questioning and if that style of question came as a shock to you then your program is...

  3. workinh overnights and school on the weekends

    mrsboots87 replied to JMosby4's topic in General Students

    If you mean to say that you will have to work 11pm-7am as well as then go to school from 8:30am-5pm every other weekend then that would be a big fat NO. By the time you get home and shower and go to...

  4. Complete RN Program from Scratch

    mrsboots87 replied to msdee's topic in General Students

    We have a hybrid program at a CC in Arizona. Theory is mostly online with proctored exams in class, then lab and clinical are done in class and at medical facilities. The previous posters hit it spot...

  5. Rio Salado HCR 240 Pathophysiology

    mrsboots87 replied to Maycation's topic in Arizona Nursing

    For HCR 240 everything is online. Even the final and midterm. Or at least it was when I took it a couple years

  6. Block 1 SCC Finals

    mrsboots87 replied to Kssable's topic in Arizona Nursing

    The final practicum is nerve wracking to say the least. BUT once you finish you will realize it wasnt that terrible. Or at least I felt that way. It is EXACTLY like the CLA days in the sim lab. You...

  7. First few weeks of clinicals!

    mrsboots87 replied to trancefamily's topic in General Students

    I'm sorry, that sucks. Unless it is a teaching hospital for all medical professionals and not just doctors, then the nurses arent technically required to teach you anything, which sucks. We have...

  8. Peak and Trough Levels

    mrsboots87 replied to ChooSoul's topic in General Students

    When you look in your drug book, there will be a peak time listed for each drug. That is the timeframe in which you want to draw the lab for peak. So if the drug book says that a drug takes effect in...

  9. Peak and Trough Levels

    mrsboots87 replied to ChooSoul's topic in General Students

    Another way to think of it like this. You would draw a peak level lab when the drug should peak in the patient's system. This amount of time will vary depending on the drug. Could be 30 minutes, could...

  10. Central lines and air embolism ?

    mrsboots87 replied to Cook23's topic in General Students

    I was not implying (and Im sure no one else here was either), that minute amounts of air would cause an air embolism. The point was to tell them that instead of worrying if the patient would be harmed...

  11. Changing IV tubing with half full bag?

    mrsboots87 replied to erint91DC's topic in General Students

    I would vote for just wasting and starting over. IV infections are no joke and at two days, if the tubing is truly contaminated from too long of use, so is the fluid bag that's hanging. So continuing...

  12. clinical instructor problem or is it me?

    mrsboots87 replied to studentnurse162484's topic in General Students

    Also, for the uncapped syringe. You put the syringe on the table. What about any germs on that table? The outer edge is now contaminated. Even if you plan to hold the syringe in your hand until you...

  13. clinical instructor problem or is it me?

    mrsboots87 replied to studentnurse162484's topic in General Students

    Technically, this is entire situation is your fault and your responsibility. WHen you are an RN you will get pushy coworkers and patients, and you need to be able to keep your head on straight and...

  14. Identify a patient care situation in which you describe how nursing care or approaches to

    mrsboots87 replied to summer15's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    As stated on this forum multiple times, no one here will do your homework for you. You need to show what you have done and why you are stuck, then people will chime in to help you

  15. Nursing Student Exams...help!

    mrsboots87 replied to chillischick's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Do you have NCLEX prep material, like an NCLEX practice quation book, or a test success book? These will help tremendously in learning HOW to take an NCLEX style test and help with understanding...

  16. Clinical Client with Abdominal Wall abscess had infected mesh and hernia repair

    mrsboots87 replied to Jholt's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    How will these surgeries affect his mobility? How will the hospitalization and surgery affect his labs. What other conditions does the patient have. Dont focus just on the primary reason for being in...

  17. Central lines and air embolism ?

    mrsboots87 replied to Cook23's topic in General Students

    As the PP said, have you contacted anyone to check on this patient? When you realized the error, that would be the first thing done for the patient's safety. As a side note, this right here is exactly...

  18. Bed bath

    mrsboots87 replied to ASAMOAH ASMAH's topic in General Students

    Are you a nursing student because this will be covered in the first week or two of class. A bed bath is a bed bath. There really arent types. You either bathe the full body, or you bathe only part of...

  19. Nursing salary not that useful to pay back loans?!

    mrsboots87 replied to Summers3's topic in General Students

    Whoever told you that doesnt know what they are talking about. The general rule of thumb is to not take out more in loans than you can reasonably make in one year. I am in a community college program....

  20. Block II Math

    mrsboots87 replied to AZ_Nihtwriter's topic in Arizona Nursing

    No, it was fill in the blank and required all work to be shown. But they were all very basic problems. Like: The doctor ordered 5000 units of heparin. On hand there is 20000 units per 5 mL. How many...

  21. General Arts and Science program at Sheridan College

    mrsboots87 replied to samtenzin's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    I'm not sure how it works in Canada but in the states you can't just go right into a registered nursing program. You have to take the ore requisite courses which I'm assuming is what the pre health...

  22. unstable blood glucose Dx

    mrsboots87 replied to wade32206's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I dont believe there is anything related specifically to unstable blood glucose, but maybe if I'm wrong someone else will chime in. But if you think about it, unstable blood glucose is caused by...

  23. care plan

    mrsboots87 replied to Daninjones's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    A 'risk for' diagnoses is almost never a priority. I actually cant think of any priority risk for diagnoses but I'm sure their are some because Im only a block 2 student. Priority will almost always...

  24. How Do I Apologize to Professor?

    mrsboots87 replied to Valr's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    The problem is that the OP has not shown that she has learned from her/his ways. They state that this will be their third time being late with a " i know no excuses, but I live far" which is an...

  25. case study/Nursing diagnosis need 6

    mrsboots87 replied to logcrew7's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I dont understand what you are asking. Do you need 6 nursing diagnose? Because nobody here will just give them to you and do your homework. What have you done so far and what kind of diagnoses do you...
