  1. wait times

    mrsboots87 replied to laurabakerfinally's topic in Arizona Nursing

    https://allnurses.com/arizona-nursing/maricopa-waiting-list-683094.html Start there. Its a thread that has been going for a few years, but people tend to go there to say when they got in and what...

  2. Surrendering an AK license or not?

    mrsboots87 replied to backtoCO's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    You should probably check that if by surrendering your license, if it can affect you obtaining a license in another state. I know each state board runs its own state and can have various policy...

  3. online programs

    mrsboots87 replied to irenelpncurrie's topic in LPN to RN

    I don't know about Florida but thought I could chime in to say to be prepared to have little, if any fully online options, available. Unlike the RN-BSN bridge, the LPN-RN bridge will still have...

  4. does this sound a little strange?

    mrsboots87 replied to blondie1887's topic in New York Nursing

    It is a little weird to just up an not want to interview over not being able to do it at the one time you are given. However, it brush off could have been due to them finding out you were in school....

  5. Commuting to Nursing School?

    mrsboots87 replied to ihurdle1920's topic in General Students

    Its not necessarily crazy to drive 2 hours each way, but I wouldn't recommend it unless it is your absolute only option. If this is an attempt to save money have you considered how much gas it will...

  6. Coworker is Innappropriate

    mrsboots87 replied to missnurse89's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    The point of trying to start a conversation with the other nurse is not because you are a moderator or management doesn't want to deal with it. And in life, whether at work or in off time, when...

  7. "Baby Led Weaning"??

    mrsboots87 replied to Spidey's mom's topic in Pediatric

    What's funny about your comment about the hourly toileting of the baby is that that too is a fad lol. Its called elimination communication and involves leaving infants in underwear and placing them on...

  8. Vaccinations/Titers Questions: HELP!

    mrsboots87 replied to mtgip12's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Also keep in mind that many adult only physicians don't keep stock of all the childhood vaccines because they have expirations and it is not as common for an adult to need them outside of the flu and...

  9. Vaccinations/Titers Questions: HELP!

    mrsboots87 replied to mtgip12's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Like the others have said, if you had the vaccines as a child then just get titers drawn to see if you actually need any boosters. I had all my childhood vaccines but my MMR came up equivocal for both...

  10. "Baby Led Weaning"??

    mrsboots87 replied to Spidey's mom's topic in Pediatric

    Your daughter in law is doing it wrong. I practiced baby led weaning and what you're describing is an incorrect version of what is supposed to be done. The point is not to start weaning at 6 mos old....

  11. Nursing School Makeup (clinicals)

    mrsboots87 replied to NurseYomi's topic in General Students

    It will depend on how strict your school is if you can wear eyeliner. My program states "light make-up only" and the instructors clarified that eyeliner is ok as long as it is not dramatic. Just a...

  13. What Watch to choose?

    mrsboots87 replied to Roxannee's topic in General Students

    Since you will be doing a good amount of "dirty" work, I would not suggest a fancy watch. I just bought a white nursemates from the scrub shop. My personal preference is a watch with a second hand....

  14. Nursing requirements

    mrsboots87 replied to LNOUVRESE's topic in General Students

    I know that for my school you would be dropped from the program. This is due to hospital vaccination policy ( read as hospital is covering there rear), so school has to require it. Hospital requires...

  15. SCC Fall 2014

    mrsboots87 replied to Gaabey's topic in Arizona Nursing

    No, I believe it is has a blue cover. The HESI NCLEX book should be good too though because the questions will be written very similar to the types you will see on the exit exam while also helping...

  16. Maricopa Waiting List / Placement / Timestamps 2010+

    mrsboots87 replied to Maciso's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Its not really done by groups. When you get your randomized timestamp for your group, it puts you at the end of the line in the order of your timestamp for your group. Then as people get placed, the...

  17. How can I finish RN program

    mrsboots87 replied to frankiesmith's topic in School, College Programs

    You are likely going to either need to repeato or see if your state allows for sitting for the NCLEX-PN. If you pass that exam, you can usually apply for advanced placement straight into block 3 of...

  18. SCC Fall 2014

    mrsboots87 replied to Gaabey's topic in Arizona Nursing

    There are HESI exit exams each block, but they aren't a requirement for passing the block. You still want to do well because the test counts toward your proctored points that you need to get 76% total...

  19. i need advice !!!!

    mrsboots87 replied to educated23's topic in School, College Programs

    I don't have answers to your questions, but they should be easy to find if you just look and make a phone call. Whether or not they are accredited and by what accrediting body can be found either on...

  20. Benefit of NCLEX in Arizona vs. Nevada

    mrsboots87 replied to PrayingToPass's topic in Nevada Nursing

    This post is all over the place, but the one thing I do understand you are asking is about if you get paid differently for having a license from a different state. I don't know where you heard that...

  21. redirecting to old threads

    mrsboots87 replied to OnlinePersona's topic in General Nursing

    I have noticed that an OP gets a better response to a repeat question when they start with " I know this has been discussed, but when I read XYZ, it didn't really answer my question....." or something...

  22. Failing Clinical Options

    mrsboots87 replied to skhy's topic in General Students

    And as for withdrawing completely, that would be a terrible idea. I imagine it is well past the withdrawal date so you would be taking a Y. A Y is dropped while failing and looks just as bad as...

  23. Failing Clinical Options

    mrsboots87 replied to skhy's topic in General Students

    Am I reading this right that you only get 4 total days of clinical over the span of 2 weeks? Is this an accredited program since I have yet to find a state BON that will accredit a school with 40 or...

  24. Nursing student aganist bullying

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

    I think people are way too quick to pull the bully card when things aren't all sunshine and butterflies or an instructor doesn't hand them a good grade on a platter. I'm not saying that that's what...

  25. Can a CNA get a job as an ER pct?

    mrsboots87 replied to CantDecideUsername's topic in Emergency

    Essentially, yes. A CNA can get a job as a PCT since their base function is very similar. As far as what you will be able to do will depend on the facility. Most of the time, the PCTs that can do...
