  1. Maricopa Waiting List / Placement / Timestamps 2010+

    mrsboots87 replied to Maciso's topic in Arizona Nursing

    SCC block 1 for the last two cohorts had had a Tuesday theory lecture from 8-12:30 then lab is from 8-2:45 on either Thursday or Friday (depending on what your clinical day is) and clinical day and...

  2. Sticky situation .. What would you do?

    mrsboots87 replied to __patiently_waiting's topic in General Students

    So if im understanding you correctly, you think it is ok for someone to state an offensive comment and anyone who takes offense to said comment is childish and needs to grow up? interesting. I wasnt...

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

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

    Ha. Sorry, I do a lot of my commenting from my phone and dont always check what gets changed or what I just flat out misspell in my haste. Terrible, I know and the grammar nazis probably hate me lol....

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

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

    Also, in your defense against people saying you shouldnt push procedures on students. I think that is terrible. Then students will never learn if all nurses didnt offer anything. What my instructor...

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

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

    We are not aloud to touch or do anything involving a CVC line of any kind. We cannot spike a medicated bag of fluid (this will be aloud next semester), we cannot IV push medication (again, this will...

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

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

    If your going to "bring a new angle" please at least do so constructively. I dont see anywhere where the OP implied that she needs to feel dominant over males, or that anyone was treated for what sex...

  7. Pre-nursing student - what should my major be?

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

    Check the pre reqs rewuired for your desired programs, then find a major that also requires those classes. I would imagine that biology would likely be good a the PP stated. But I have to ask. Why...

  8. WTCC - Scheduling Clinicals

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

    Probably not. Each clinical course needs to be taken concurrently with the theory that goes with it. Most programs are set up as block 1: fundamentals with LTC clinical; block 2: med/surg 1 with...

  9. Tramadol Prescription & Nursing School Entrance Drug Testing

    mrsboots87 replied to ADNcandidate's topic in General Students

    That makes more sense. At that point it would kind of be on the employee for not responding in time to the

  10. Sticky situation .. What would you do?

    mrsboots87 replied to __patiently_waiting's topic in General Students

    Wowza. Well that's a whole different story then. You should definitely get your points back if it is two separate classes with multiple students being affected. Sounds like a faulty machine and the...

  11. Sticky situation .. What would you do?

    mrsboots87 replied to __patiently_waiting's topic in General Students

    You are acting high and mighty and it is pretty ridiculous that you don't understand why your remark was offensive. You basically stated that only incredibly smart people can handle online school and...

  12. Sticky situation .. What would you do?

    mrsboots87 replied to __patiently_waiting's topic in General Students

    Wow, that's pretty rude to insinuate that people who don't like online programs are less intelligent and need to be cradled. The want to have in class instruction vs online reading assignments and...

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

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

    Your second paragraph pretty much explains why I have done things I wasn't sure I was supposed to do but just went for it. We get told we can do all skills we have done in prev semesters. I performed...

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

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

    My med/surg clinicals are at a teaching hospital. The nurses there are required to take a student if the charge nurse gives them one. Im not sure how it works at regular hospitals. I think the nurses...

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

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

    I would like to clarify from my earlier post, I have never done anything that was in a "no no" list. For example, we are to NEVER do anything involving a CVC as a student, so I wouldnt go near one if...

  16. Maricopa Waiting List / Placement / Timestamps 2010+

    mrsboots87 replied to Maciso's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Just remembered the name of the program. Its "first things first" if you google it, it will bring up there main site explaining the program. Its one program that awards each daycare so many spaces. My...

  17. SCC Fall 2014

    mrsboots87 replied to Gaabey's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Not quite. Its one day of lecture, one day of lab, and one day of

  18. Sticky situation .. What would you do?

    mrsboots87 replied to __patiently_waiting's topic in General Students

    No good nursing programs are completely online. I wouldn't want to take such a hard program online even if their were more options for online

  19. Sticky situation .. What would you do?

    mrsboots87 replied to __patiently_waiting's topic in General Students

    Just to play devils advocate here...... If you were the only person who had a scantron issue then I can see where the instructor is coming from. The directions on scantrons always clearly say to make...

  20. Tramadol Prescription & Nursing School Entrance Drug Testing

    mrsboots87 replied to ADNcandidate's topic in General Students

    Are you sure that's even legal. From what I know, medications someone takes are covered under HIPAA. The lab should not be disclosing drugs that come up positive unless the employee does not have a...

  21. Tramadol Prescription & Nursing School Entrance Drug Testing

    mrsboots87 replied to ADNcandidate's topic in General Students

    Exactly what others have said. You do not need to contact your school and ask. All you do is bring your prescription bottles with you the drug testing site. On the form you sign giving consent for...

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

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

    I love nurses like you OP. I have yet to get paired with a "mean" nurse yet like people around here complain about, but my most recent nurse was by far the best. She offered to let me do pretty much...

  23. pre-program physical documentation

    mrsboots87 replied to aeris99's topic in General Students

    There should be a 1-2 page document you can use. Ask you instructor. The only thing the school wants to know is if your are physically capable of attending clinical. For my school, I had to have a...

  24. Be Prepared

    mrsboots87 replied to parkforester's topic in General Students

    I think it varies by program and if you are in an ADN vs. BSN program due to the difference in the amount of classes each semester. But the OP is pretty much spot on on being prepared and studying...

  25. Shoe Recommendations

    mrsboots87 replied to JackNikon's topic in General Students

    I'm just a student, but I use Danskos for clinical and love them. My feet still hurt a bit after 12 hours (s to be expected) but my knees and lower back feel great. I tried both crocs and running...
