  1. Help! Bought an online test bank not sure what to do!

    mrsboots87 replied to NicolleM's topic in General Students

    The problem is only partly the actual test bank. The reason for denying the appeal is de to waiting 3 days to speak up. This makes it loom bad for the students. Had the students spoken up the day,...

  2. Did anybody buy a nursing mannikin to practice skills at home?

    mrsboots87 replied to strawberryluv's topic in General Students

    Keep in mind, the nursing school mannequins are VERY expensive. Honestly, you should be fine. Most skills can be practiced on large teddy bears (just to get the motions down) so when you get to skils...

  3. Being a male increase your chances

    mrsboots87 replied to koran120's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Males are not a minority so affirmative action does not apply. Affirmative action applies to US minorities and last I checked, a member does not qualify. I'm sure there are a select few schools that...

  4. What do nurses think about doulas?

    mrsboots87 replied to emde's topic in General Students

    In general, doulas are used for women seeking a natural unmediated birth, so of course they are going to push for no interventions. If a mother planning a hospital birth hires a doula, or a mother who...

  5. approved nursing diploma

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

    There are no fully online nursing programs. There are some that will offer the theory classes online, but you would still need to attend in person skills lab and clinical. Also, there are very few...

  6. Should Nurses help Doctors in Physician assisted suicide (euthanasia)

    mrsboots87 replied to Caleb12's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Nurses don't keep people alive at all costs unless the patient wishes everything under the son to be done. Nurses treat the person holistically. Part of this is to have the patient on board with a...

  7. Severe TBI + Care Plan

    mrsboots87 replied to Nrsroseintraining's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    That's rough that they want a careplan without your assessment date first. That sounds ridiculous because you need your assessment data to plan care. Its kind of the whole point lol. That sucks. Do...

  8. New students need help

    mrsboots87 replied to dexpaj's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    There will be nutritional and lifestyle contributors to this disease. You med/surg or other required school texts will have info about this condition. It is a common one that you will see in first...

  9. Student loans for daycare expenses..

    mrsboots87 replied to HippyDippyLPN's topic in General Students

    Wow, so the grammar and spelling in that post was horrendous. My bad

  10. Student loans for daycare expenses..

    mrsboots87 replied to HippyDippyLPN's topic in General Students

    Is youre tuition very expensive for it to take up all of the loan amount you are being given? If not, it may just be that your school only applies enough grant and loan money for tuition and school...

  11. What's in Your Backpack?

    mrsboots87 replied to LaceElaine's topic in General Students

    I started out very over packed, and about 3/4 through the semester I finally found what worked best for me. I like to print the lecture powerpoints and then take notes all over them so I had a binder...

  12. Prednisone

    mrsboots87 replied to OwlieO.O's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    That's good to know Esme, and GrnTea. I learn IVs and get more pharm next semester. I would of course research any drugs I give before giving them, but it will be good to keep this in mind about IV...

  13. I don't think I want to be a nurse anymore

    mrsboots87 replied to Poly123's topic in General Students

    Nursing is not for everyone, so there is no shame in quitting if it is not for you. Your family does not have to live the rest of their life with your decision. They will not have to go to work...

  14. Do you think this schedule/routine will work?

    mrsboots87 replied to MedicalPartisan's topic in General Students

    No one knows how much you will need to study but you. And you wont know that until you start and the Mac truck that is nursing school runs you over. I can however say that this little bit of study...

  15. Nursing Students with Kids

    mrsboots87 replied to Mccamach's topic in General Students

    Congrats on your acceptance! I have a 4 and 1 year olds. It's hectic but definitely doable. It helps that I don't work. I just put one day aside every week (usually Sunday) that I dedicated to family....

  16. Help! Bought an online test bank not sure what to do!

    mrsboots87 replied to NicolleM's topic in General Students

    As a side note, I know you are upset about fairness and all, but why try so hard to get others remove from the program. I know it sucks, but as others said, maybe they came forward the day of the test...

  17. Accelerated Program after failing out of nursing program?

    mrsboots87 replied to kringkring5144's topic in General Students

    The answers to your questions will be school specific, but in general if you have failed a nursing program before, many schools will not admit you without a very good reason why you failed and a plan...

  18. if you were a manager....?

    mrsboots87 replied to wedwed11's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Thanks. I will take this to heart in my future

  19. I would like to interview a nurse for my college class please.

    mrsboots87 replied to Dwaibelm's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I think you are missing the point. How do you plan to verify that the person who answers the questions is a nurse. I (as a nursing student) could answer all those and claim to be an LPN/RN and you...

  20. Looking for Help to Become a Nurse

    mrsboots87 replied to JasonPB22's topic in General Students

    Not to be rude, but the majority of nursing students (and hopefuls) have a need for money. Do what most of us do, apply for financial

  21. What is the problem with nursing school?

    mrsboots87 replied to joe007's topic in General Students

    I don't know what school you went to, but mine does much more than a superficial overview of disease processes. We are taught and tested on how disease affects the body at the cellular level then move...

  22. Horrible Clinical Instructor!! WHAT SHOULD I DO?

    mrsboots87 replied to yywsu2014's topic in General Students

    "Horrible Clinical Instructor!! WHAT SHOULD I DO?" Grow a thicker skin. Seriously. And I am not trying to be rude. I mean this in all seriousness. From what you are describing, this does not make for...

  23. Prednisone

    mrsboots87 replied to OwlieO.O's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I'm not sure how you would expect to "quickly push" a PO med so therefore genital itching/burning from an IV push would not be possible. The IV form of this med is methylprednisolone and I believe...

  24. help with care plan vented/trached 8 month old baby

    mrsboots87 replied to taf92's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Also, don't just focus on the assessments around his trach and g tube. What is his functional status ( I know this sounds silly because he is 8 mos old)? What about skin integrity? Does he have edema?...

  25. How do I figure out my overall score?

    mrsboots87 replied to Reese2012's topic in General Students

    Since the math has already been laid out for you, my question is why are you giving yourself a 50% for the homework? This is very low, even for underestimating. Do you feel you did poorly on the...
