  1. Pima Community College Nursing Wait List

    mrsboots87 replied to klauren24's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I believe Pima community college is in Tuscon, so it is very likely that the Maricopa CCs are too far of a

  2. Any ways to prove you're neg for TB?

    mrsboots87 replied to cococh15's topic in General Students

    I've never heard of injecting a PPD too deep and getting a false positive because of it. I've actually been taught in school that when the test is done incorrectly, that we just redo it in a week no...

  3. Care plans...?!

    mrsboots87 replied to Ashmb_09's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    If you don't have a nursing diagnoses book yet, then you should get one. And if you do have one but it doesn't have outcomes and interventions, then get a different one that does. Legitimate...

  4. I think I might have blown a vein?

    mrsboots87 replied to KG MSN RN CCRN CEN's topic in General Students

    LOL. Ok. I never could get a volunteer for a secret IV practice session, but some of my classmates were able to. Still jealous. Even if it wasn't exactly what the school does.

  5. Adrenergic VS Cholinergic

    mrsboots87 replied to NUNS2016's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Also, for a drug example. When you use a beta 2 blocker to reduce BP. Lowering BP is a cholinergic effect. HOWEVER, a beta 2 antagonist is not stimulating any cholinergic receptors. It is merely...

  6. Adrenergic VS Cholinergic

    mrsboots87 replied to NUNS2016's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    And alpha 2 mostly decreases GI motility. Its effect on BP is not really noteable. Or at least for as much as I have learned. But alpha 2 is also like the black sheep of the SNS in that its effects...

  7. Adrenergic VS Cholinergic

    mrsboots87 replied to NUNS2016's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    It can be very confusing at first, and I still have a little trouble with it. But some of the things to simplify for you. Sympathetic nervous system HAS adrenergic receptors. Parasympathetic HAS...

  8. I think I might have blown a vein?

    mrsboots87 replied to KG MSN RN CCRN CEN's topic in General Students

    Since everyone has already given you encouragement, I am going a different direction. You get to practice on each other? We don't. Just mannequins and our first real stick will be on a live patient (I...

  9. Best strategy for getting a job-opinions!

    mrsboots87 replied to FutureRN101's topic in Arizona Nursing

    CNAs having a guaranteed job is not always the case. They have their foot in the door and have a higher chance of getting an interview for an RN position but it wont be any available and it wont be...

  10. Scared to start nursing school

    mrsboots87 replied to dannygurl84's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Definitely take all the horror stories here with a grain of salt. First, I learned in retail management for years, that to every complaint, there are easily at least 10 who would compliment the same...

  11. Grades in Nursing School

    mrsboots87 replied to MariahO's topic in General Students

    I third the needing a good NCLEX book and a good test taking stategies book. I also like the Davis success series because they give rationales AND test taking tips on each question. I happen to be...

  12. Feeling discouraged

    mrsboots87 replied to WannabeNurse(:'s topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    A&P is all about rote memorization. You do need to have an understanding for when you get to your core nursing classes, but you don't need to know systems inside and out. I am terrible with...

  13. Fiscally responsible care?

    mrsboots87 replied to dannygirl04's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I definitely like infection control mentioned in the previous comment. CAUTI, hospital aquired pneumonia, and falls in the hospital are things that are NOT covered by Medicaid and I'm sure insurance...

  14. Some of Us Are Trying to Help You...

    mrsboots87 replied to Music in My Heart's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I'm wondering if a nursing student peed in someone's Cheerios lately because jeez do they not want to educate their future

  15. 2 x 6 hour or 1 x 12 hour clinical shifts

    mrsboots87 replied to BeachsideRN's topic in General Students

    We did 8 hour shift in block one, and now in block two we do 12s. I like the 12s better from a learning and homework standpoint. First, we have to do care plans that start at 12 pages and end up about...

  16. Why does USA allow 2 year degree for RN's

    mrsboots87 replied to PinayUSA's topic in International Nursing

    Also consider that a two year degree is not actually only two years of education, so to say that and ADN nurse is not well educated is actually insulting. I can only assume you are not from the US and...

  17. Private Pinning Ceremony

    mrsboots87 replied to littleamyd's topic in General Students

    That would be my phone thinking it funny to make me look like an idiot in combination with my laziness to proofread lol. Its supposed to say "completion of a

  18. Private Pinning Ceremony

    mrsboots87 replied to littleamyd's topic in General Students

    I don't want to flame the poster who said a it's pointless because I can understand why they would see it the way they do and it's their right to feel that way. However it is a but harsh to call it...

  19. Nurses Who Don't Want to be Nurses

    mrsboots87 replied to mindofmidwifery's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I don't really care why someone chooses nursing. I don't think it's really anyone's bussiness why someone wants to become a nurse. Except if it's for malicious reasons. But someone having a "calling"...

  20. Mocked by teacher in post conference.

    mrsboots87 replied to dmena14's topic in General Students

    What is up with the terrible culture at some of these schools? On this post, quite a few have jumped on the "nursing school is full of bullies and mean instructors who eat their young" train. I have...

  21. Sticky situation .. What would you do?

    mrsboots87 replied to __patiently_waiting's topic in General Students

  22. Sticky situation .. What would you do?

    mrsboots87 replied to __patiently_waiting's topic in General Students

    Touché. In real life I usually do just that. I either speak my mind and leave it be, or just walk away completely. I guess online it is just easier to keep at it without realizing the horse has been...

  23. Sticky situation .. What would you do?

    mrsboots87 replied to __patiently_waiting's topic in General Students

    I guess I should rephrase, since looking back now that comment does appear to assume online nursing school are all terrible no matter what. What was meant by that comment is that due to the content...

  24. Some of Us Are Trying to Help You...

    mrsboots87 replied to Music in My Heart's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Maybe be where you work you are not required to teach students and have the option to not care if they learn. If that how you're facility is set up then that's fine. But not all facilities are like...

  25. Maricopa Waiting List / Placement / Timestamps 2010+

    mrsboots87 replied to Maciso's topic in Arizona Nursing

    That's just how many public spots they have available. There are likely quite. Few more students in that cohort. The CEP and students admitted early through affiliation with a hospital, are not...
