  1. So I have a few questions about my GPA.

    mrsboots87 replied to Rocktheman's topic in General Students

    Ha. I totally realized that when I posted and then forgot to edit. I feel like one of the jerks who calls all nurses "she" when there are quite a few males as well. Oops.

  2. Hear that eerie taunt? "Trick or Treat, smell my feet, give me something good to eat."

    mrsboots87 replied to Brian's topic in General Students

    I just give in and eat the candy

  3. Judge issues order enforcing nurse quarantine in Maine

    mrsboots87 replied to musingmom's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Side note, I don't necessarily agree with the media shenanigans the nurse is pulling about the whole thing, but at the same time if I was in her shoes I don't know how I would

  4. Judge issues order enforcing nurse quarantine in Maine

    mrsboots87 replied to musingmom's topic in Disaster Preparation

    That's just terrible. There was a recent call for more volunteers to help get ahead of the outbreak in Africa. This just makes it much harder. Less people will want to spend their minimal vacation or...

  5. Fluid and electrolytes

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

    Oh and also try to focus on what each lyte does in the body, and it should make understanding side effects

  6. Fluid and electrolytes

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

    It's best to know what is affected MOST by the lytes. They all pretty much affect the whole body but apply the finding clinically. Sodium will usually have neuro effects. If you have a very confused...

  7. student shortcuts

    mrsboots87 replied to Fruit Sucker's topic in General Students

    I also just leave clothes in baskets. We have a lot of sandwiches for dinner. I just order the school lunch for my eldest every day to not deal with lunch time. I record lecture and listen to it while...

  8. Difficult instructor (venting...sorry)

    mrsboots87 replied to nursingchick1's topic in General Students

    I honestly dont think you have a leg to stand on with a complaint and may actually paint a red target on your back in doing so. Our clinical days are set up before the semester starts and the...

  9. Support Kaci Hickox

    mrsboots87 replied to nurse2033's topic in Disaster Preparation

    If they are going to start quarantining every health professional who returns from Africa, they professionals may start taking alternate routes to get home that don't come from Africa and then lie...

  10. stinky patient pet peeve

    mrsboots87 replied to Fruit Sucker's topic in General Students

    We are also given specific assignments for the day. But we are also expected to help around the u it in general with the "CNA work." I highly doubt then the instructor gives the daily assignments that...

  11. Can someone check my math?

    mrsboots87 replied to tsm007's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Round doesnt always mean to the whole minute. It just means to use the rounding rules you are given by your instructor. In my program we are simply told to round all answers. For this question we...

  12. LSBN Clinical Approval

    mrsboots87 replied to tonjibaby04's topic in General Students

    This is an international site. This question would be better suited in the state forum that you are in, or the international forum. Then people from your area can better answer you. LSBN doesnt mean...

  13. Concerned about our curriculum

    mrsboots87 replied to cantwaittograduate1's topic in General Students

    I have notices you are very brash. If that is just your personality to say whatever comes to mind and give "the hard truth" then so be it. But in the last couple posts Ive seen you reply to, you have...

  14. Knitting during class: ok or not?

    mrsboots87 replied to BusyBee91's topic in General Students

    Again, as I have stated before, the need for movement does not signify that someone is not ready for college. It is simply what they need to do to actually focus. People need to mind their own...

  15. First semester schedule

    mrsboots87 replied to Pistachio830's topic in General Students

    You are exactly right that all schools will be very different in their scheduling. Honestly, all our schedules wont really ehlp you except to let you know that your job will ned to be flixible with...

  16. Follow Your Gut Being Productive and Choosing to Withdraw

    mrsboots87 replied to NeoNatMom's topic in General Students

    I honestly tell every student here who ask about studying ahead not to. And I stand by that. Even knowing that there will be immense amounts of reading once you start. Better advice, other then...

  17. Changed how they test.

    mrsboots87 replied to alysonp's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I have heard rumor that NCLEX either does now, or will be, asking alternate form questions outside of SATA. It is actually quite easy to do so. There can be drop down lists with multiple words to...

  18. Just curious

    mrsboots87 replied to Julesmama28's topic in General Students

    I'm not sure how many clinical hours hours out program has, but I know it's more than the required minimum. And we do get a senior preceptorship of 180 hours I believe. Our choice for preceptorship is...

  19. So I have a few questions about my GPA.

    mrsboots87 replied to Rocktheman's topic in General Students

    Wow ow this was very rude and highly uncalled for. A 4.0 does not give a mother the right to belittle and demean their child. It is counterproductive and just all around wrong for a mother to do. So...

  20. Tips for Identifying Cardiac Diseases/Disorders

    mrsboots87 replied to Unequaledbeauty_30's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    If you're asking how to distinguish for test questions, you won't be given vague cardiac issues unless the point of the question is to just know it's a cardiac issue. You might get SATA for s/s of...

  21. Tips for Identifying Cardiac Diseases/Disorders

    mrsboots87 replied to Unequaledbeauty_30's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Well you would never need to do that. Your job will not be to distinguish between two cardiac diseases. That is the physicians job. Your job is to recognize signs and symptoms of cardiac disorders...

  22. Knitting during class: ok or not?

    mrsboots87 replied to BusyBee91's topic in General Students

    I think people are failing to realize that some one who had hyperactive tendencies (bouncing feet, rocking in chair, doodling, and so on) CAN'T focus at all without movement. So even though they may...

  23. Ob/gyn vs peds

    mrsboots87 replied to msrxchef's topic in General Students

    Are you sure they aren't offering the class all together or maybe just not offering clinical in both? I'm pretty sure all BON have a peds and OB requirement and would go as far as to say they likely...

  24. So this was an interesting topic today

    mrsboots87 replied to MizMaverick's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Forgot to add: Also, even if the student nurse did do the neuro checks and all finding were normal. If this is not charted on, then it would appear as if NO neuro checks were done. My instructor...

  25. So this was an interesting topic today

    mrsboots87 replied to MizMaverick's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    If I am understanding correctly, then yes, that would reflect back on the nurse. While a student, we fall under the UAP category since we are unlicensed. Not exactly, but as for delegation purposes,...
