  1. have my dreams of being a nurse been shot down?

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

    How does having a baby exclude you from financial aid? Having a baby makes you and indeoentant student and changes your expenses. This usually means easier to qualify for FA. As far as your GPA, look...

  2. Nursing student, I need help from RNs please :)

    mrsboots87 replied to Marisa1101's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    There isn't a way to verify that the person answering the questions is actually an RN. If it is due tomorrow than I'm assuming you have known aboyt this for a while, nothing can change that now...

    mrsboots87 replied to Carpediem1012's topic in General Students

  4. Vaping as opposed to cigarettes?

    mrsboots87 replied to Carpediem1012's topic in General Students

    My only question is what in the e-liquid is heating to become carcinogens? I ask because since there are MANY recipes with varying ingredients, it is possible that while some ejuice has these toxic...

  5. Vaping as opposed to cigarettes?

    mrsboots87 replied to Carpediem1012's topic in General Students

    There is not enough research available for me to make a solid conclusion, but from what I do know I would vote they are the lesser of two evils. I find some of the arguments abiut children drinking...

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

    I asumed that since we are on a nusring forum that peop, e wou, d have the resoect to portray themself as a good nurse (or future nurse). And creative writing with a less than agreeable , message is...

  7. "Dear Nurses: Please Forgive Me" : A Response

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

    Last response then im out. I understand creative writing and being ficticious and such, but if this was purely fictitious and not your personal opinion and internal response, then why defend the...

  8. "Dear Nurses: Please Forgive Me" : A Response

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

    If your intent was purely 'ficticious' you wouldn't have directly quoted them. You also state that this is the reply to the "worst nightmare" depiction, which given the context you provided, implies...

  9. "Dear Nurses: Please Forgive Me" : A Response

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

    I haven't read all the response yet but I can't believe you OP. You are certainly right that some peopke should not be in this profession and you are closer to that type of person than the OP of the...

  10. Peer-reviewed sources on kidneys main functions?

    mrsboots87 replied to Vak89's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I second the PP. How did you completeyour essay without reliable sources. Just because you are only required a couple direct quotes, doesn't mean your entire essay shouldn't be using the peer reviewed...

  11. Insulin

    mrsboots87 replied to purple12's topic in Diabetes, Endocrine Nursing

    The type of syringe will not change the amount of insulin per mL in the vial. No matter what, the concentration in a vial of untampered with U100 insulin will be 100 units per mL. A 40 unit syringe...

  12. Dansko's?

    mrsboots87 replied to gbennett's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    They should be a bit on the large size. When they fit too perfectly and you walk around, there is not enough room for yiu feet to move a little. I wear a 9.5 in US women's, but in danskos I bought a...

  13. Need advice for CHM 130!

    mrsboots87 replied to ishurtado's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I haven't taken CHM 130 at Rio (I tool it in person at CGCC), but I have taken other science course at RIO. In all science courses I have taken, the essays come straight from the lessons and homework....

  14. Controlling parents won't allow job interview

    mrsboots87 replied to guyman123's topic in Nursing Career

    She's an adult? There is no "parents won't let me" excuse. If she wants to leave "home" , then she needs to grow up and do so and stop letting her parents decide everything for her. Do her parents...

  15. New BSN grad fired after 5 weeks of orientation

    mrsboots87 replied to Kinar's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Background checks show employment history, but nit reasons for leaving. I've never looked if this is federal law or state soecific, but while working in 2 different states, employers are legally nit...

  16. Chandler Gilbert Community College Nursing Program

    mrsboots87 replied to doprider's topic in Arizona Nursing

    The CGCC program is relatively new compared to the other MCCD schools. I'm guessing they still have kinks to work out. I for one did not want to be part of their "learning curve". Your best bet is to...

  17. Harsh nurses

    mrsboots87 replied to binzy's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Have you tried reflecting on what YOU did wrong. Everday here students pist about how its anyone but their own fault for why they failed. I'm some legitimately had no fault and the instructor was just...

  18. Made a terrible mistake...

    mrsboots87 replied to chold635's topic in LPN to RN

    It would be a good idea to annonymously call the nursing advisor at the school to specify what they mean by suspension/probation. This usually does not include clinical punishments but rather...

  19. Is cheating a double standard?

    mrsboots87 replied to 28studentsfailed's topic in General Students

    I don't get what closure you are looking for. There are 2 things here. One is that you won a settlement. That should tell you right there that the school was in the wrong or they wouldn't have had to...

  20. Mom jailed for refusing to feed her infant proper formula

    mrsboots87 replied to RNIBCLC's topic in Ob/Gyn

    If she is a natural and holistic vegan, theni wonder why she wasn't breastfeeding. I know the choice to breastfeed or formula feed is each parents choice, butthis tyoe of person seems like they would...

  21. Annnnnd it happened anyways...

    mrsboots87 replied to MountainBikeChick's topic in General Students

    Be careful with your imduction plans. After 40 weeks is the only true "right time". This is for proper lung and brain development and the baby being truly ready to come out. Also, natural inductions...

  22. Maricopa Waiting List / Placement / Timestamps 2010+

    mrsboots87 replied to Maciso's topic in Arizona Nursing

    It actually is very normal to have this many placements. Placements will run until a week or 2 before the semester starts. Empty spots come up all the time. Either people defer or decline placement,...

  23. Intrusiveness and unwanted touching of pregnant bellies

    mrsboots87 replied to Irish_Mist's topic in Ob/Gyn

    It doesn't stop with pregnancy. I've had people lift the covrr of my corificeat to look at my kids. Ive had strangers touch my kids hands or face. Some people just don't grasp the rudeness of their...

  24. Pre nursing physical

    mrsboots87 replied to Kitkat1212's topic in General Students

    It should be just like a sports physical. If blood is drawn, the lab results are private info and cant be shared with your school anyway. Your school should outline what they need released from the...

  25. Looking for Respiratory NCLEX Q's

    mrsboots87 replied to bella14k's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Just because I'm the only one who spoke up, does not mean I was the only one thinking it. What I said was not rude. I'm sorry you feel that my not wanting to give away resources that I paid for to a...
