  1. Denial Back Into program

    mrsboots87 replied to natkoz82's topic in General Students

    Did you focus your appeal on your ADD, or what happened to cause you to fail? While ADD can interfere with study and focus, it is seen as a crutch when an appeal is based on it. Also, unless you had...

  2. Haying a hard time

    mrsboots87 replied to LNOUVRESE's topic in General Students

  3. Haying a hard time

    mrsboots87 replied to LNOUVRESE's topic in General Students

    I am not familiar with the study site you are using. Is it using NCLEX style questions? If so, keep in mind that those types of questions are intended to make you critically think. You may think that...

  4. Placement hours- what is better?

    mrsboots87 replied to May110's topic in General Students

    You will have a better earning opportunity with the longer shift. Sure, you will be more tired at the end of the day, but it will be just one shift instead of 2. If you think about it, you have to do...

  5. Is my pt in heart failure??

    mrsboots87 replied to aimes.k559's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    That's nuts that they don't want you to use the nursing diagnoses book. Especially in your first clinical rotation. And many of the diagnoses are not even "complicated". "Impaired physical mobility"...

  6. GCU Pre-req policy

    mrsboots87 replied to Maycation's topic in Arizona Nursing

    No experience with GCU, but what other colleges usually do is base if the classes are acceptable by how comparable they are to the required pre reqs. Also, many will allow classes in the same subject...

  7. Taking isoniazid while in nursing school.

    mrsboots87 replied to studentnursemon86's topic in General Students

    Oh, I'm not saying you should or could do anything about it now, just mentioning the likely reason why nothing was done about it

  8. Is my pt in heart failure??

    mrsboots87 replied to aimes.k559's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Also what did you do to intervene for his hip pain? Did you show him ROM exercises he could perform in his wheelchair? Or maybe provide a pressure reducing device for him to sit on? Or advise him to...

  9. Is my pt in heart failure??

    mrsboots87 replied to aimes.k559's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    You are close but not quite there. Your 3 Dx will not be one sentence. They will be 3 separate ones. Also, hip pain is subjective and is not a nursing diagnoses, it is what should be placed in the AEB...

  10. Transferring from Nursing Schools

    mrsboots87 replied to Dezi919's topic in General Students

    I second what the PP said. It is very unlikely that you ill just be able to transfer over your first year of nursing school and start in second year at the new college. Pre reqs are most likely...

  11. Taking isoniazid while in nursing school.

    mrsboots87 replied to studentnursemon86's topic in General Students

    It sounds like your employer was trying to get out of paying for your INH treatment since this happened while you were at work. Without the proper testing soon after the work exposure there is no...

  12. Is my pt in heart failure??

    mrsboots87 replied to aimes.k559's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Think symptoms, not disease process. Yes, the disease process of your patient is important, but your job is to treat symptoms and plan ahead. Do you have a nursing diagnoses book, like the NANDA...

  13. Advanced Placement LPN to RN Maricopa Community Colleges

    mrsboots87 replied to mom-of-3's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Good to know! I thought the bridging LPNs couldn't take the accelerated version. That's cool. But one other thing I forgot to mention OP is that the spots for the Spring block 3 would be filled...

  14. Vaccines

    mrsboots87 replied to michelle99's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Like others have said, you should check what the health requirements for your school are. Most will take your vaccine record from childhood or positive titers. A few require records and titers. I can...

  15. Please Need HELP Just started new job & found out < $1.50 hour

    mrsboots87 replied to Allybear41's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I'm not sure there's anything you can do. You are not supposed to know the wages of your coworkers for this exact reason. You and the floor workers have different jobs and a different amount of...

  16. School loans and books

    mrsboots87 replied to aspiringrn1987's topic in General Students

    That's crazy. I know the bookstores don't make much money, but geez. Students struggle as it is to then get a price jump for no good reason. Glad the school was on it and made them refund whoever was...

  17. Advanced Placement LPN to RN Maricopa Community Colleges

    mrsboots87 replied to mom-of-3's topic in Arizona Nursing

    From what I understand you can only bridge LPN-RN in a traditional manner. Meaning, you would have to take block 3 in spring (if accepted) and block 4 next fall. I could be wrong but I'm pretty sure...

  18. School loans and books

    mrsboots87 replied to aspiringrn1987's topic in General Students

    I forgot to suggest also, have you checked to see if your school FA office offers book advances, or even a bookstore "account". My school used to give a $600 bookstore credit. You didn't actually get...

  19. School loans and books

    mrsboots87 replied to aspiringrn1987's topic in General Students

    Even though you were told not to buy the books yet, why were you not saving money for when you could purchase them? As frustrating as this you, either way you would need that money to buy the books,...

  20. NAU/GWCC CEP

    mrsboots87 replied to azgal81's topic in Arizona Nursing

    And, I would assume that since you hold two degrees that you are likely over 5 years out from high school graduation. I had to take both intro BIO and intro Chem because I was told that my high school...

  21. NAU/GWCC CEP

    mrsboots87 replied to azgal81's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I don't remember being asked for my high school transcript. I am currently a nursing student going into block 2 and have never even submitted a request for a transcript from my high school. I believe...

  22. NAU/GWCC CEP

    mrsboots87 replied to azgal81's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Like another poster said, the HESI is time consuming, but its not too bad. The math is basic college level math. Mostly algebra with a little stats and basic geometry and such. If you are decent in...

  23. Failed 1 class should I go back?

    mrsboots87 replied to nurselambda's topic in General Students

    Whether your should go back or not is not something anyone here can answer for you. When you work as an NP, you will work with a broad range of people and not all of them will like you. You will...

  24. Nursing Programs in Phoenix

    mrsboots87 replied to traceygriffin2's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Since you mention Gateway, I will assume you are West or even North Phoenix. I can say you will not find a cheap no waitlist ADN program in that area. You options for that area are either the MCCCD...

  25. NAU/GWCC CEP

    mrsboots87 replied to azgal81's topic in Arizona Nursing

    You should apply for the MCCCD regular admittance ASAP (read as should have already done that). Basically as a backup plan, and because you need to be admitted to the waitlist before you can go to an...
