  1. Nursing School Study tips & habits

    mrsboots87 replied to jbward's topic in General Students

    TIME MANAGEMENT! This is key. Make sure you plan in review and homework time for every day. But also make sure to make some time for you. Its hard to stay focused if you don't have some you time for...

  2. The TEAS Test, why does it make or break?

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

    Since you are not a nursing student yet, you cant understand why this test is important for entrance. I don't feel it should be the ONLY entrance requirement, since passing or failing isnt the only...

  3. Looking for Respiratory NCLEX Q's

    mrsboots87 replied to bella14k's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    If you have books, then these types of questions will be in them. Answering more questions wont help. Understanding the rationale behind a moderate amount will. Any NCLEX review book will have...

  4. Passed by 1 question!

    mrsboots87 replied to ExpBrittany's topic in General Students

    Do you have any NCLEX practice books, or NCLEX test strategy books? I was fortunate in that apparently the way NCLEX questions work is how my brain thinks anyway, so I don't have any trouble...

  5. Advice..should I stilll take my final?

    mrsboots87 replied to kringkring5144's topic in General Students

    Definitely take the finals. One thing you are not taking into consideration is what an "incomplete" turns into. If you take the "I" grade, initially your GPA remains the same. But there is a certain...

  6. SN as a PCT in the ER

    mrsboots87 replied to IThinkICan100's topic in General Students

    That's not exactly true about CNAs being under the health department. Or at least in AZ its not. In our state, you get your CNA certificate from the BON after passing the exam. And your scope of...

  7. Fall 2014 Scottsdale Community College

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

    Also, you will be getting a welcome packet soon with info about the health requirements and such. The schedule may be included but it wasn't when I got mine last fall. I didn't get my class schedule...

  8. Fall 2014 Scottsdale Community College

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

    You will get more responses in the Arizona forum, but I can answer from my experience. I am just finishing block one. I hope your employer is flexible because you will have a base schedule, but there...

  9. Are study groups necessary to help me succeed in nursing program?

    mrsboots87 replied to mharzi's topic in General Students

    It all depends on how you learn best. I don't participate in study groups and my grade is just under an A. But the first semester content isn't terribly difficult. Whats hard is learning how to take...

  10. SCC Fall 2014

    mrsboots87 replied to Gaabey's topic in Arizona Nursing

    THIS!!!

  11. Hey guys I'm a new first year student!!!!!

    mrsboots87 replied to Ebbs's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    One thing your will learn as you progress (hopefully sooner rather than later) is that if you have a question, review your notes first. If the answer is not there, then do a little research in your...

  12. Transferring between a nursing program

    mrsboots87 replied to YourLocalAsian's topic in General Students

    Really any time should be fine. They accepted you based on grades. They may want to see how you did in block 1 at college B to make sure you didn't fail out, but other than that I cant think of a...

  13. Transferring between a nursing program

    mrsboots87 replied to YourLocalAsian's topic in General Students

    Most likely, you wont be able to transfer your core nursing courses. It is very rare for two separate nursing programs to accept core classes from another program. So if you accept the spot at your...

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

    mrsboots87 replied to NicolleM's topic in General Students

    This is just terrible. On one hand, I feel you should be given another chance based on making a mistake and not knowing it was the instructor version. But I also can see how the school might think...

  15. Failed reentry exam & feeling HORRIBLE!

    mrsboots87 replied to minlou's topic in General Students

    The NCLEX is a basic measure of competency in safe nursing and tests your ability to critically think. Schools teach to the NCLEX because the BON determined that it was the way to measure if a nurse...

  16. Funding nursing school?

    mrsboots87 replied to missminac's topic in General Students

    And to take it further. If it takes you 5 years to get an AA, as long as you haven't gone over the credit hour limit, you can get aid the whole

  17. Funding nursing school?

    mrsboots87 replied to missminac's topic in General Students

    What do you mean by over a year? Financial aid is based on credit hours towards a degree. You can take up to 150% of your degrees credit hours. For example, for an AA that takes 60 credits (not sure...

  18. Watch what you post on Facebook

    mrsboots87 replied to classicdame's topic in General Students

    I don't understand how students could e so careless. Our instructor made sure to mention that "what happens in clinical stays in clinical" and to post nothing identifiable on social media as it can e...

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

    mrsboots87 replied to NicolleM's topic in General Students

    You can even leave an anonymous letter under your lead instructors door after hours so they know but don't know you used the questions too if you're

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

    mrsboots87 replied to NicolleM's topic in General Students

    It depends on what you mean by test bank. Was it a student NCLEX study package, or was it the instructor edition. If it was the student set, the you are fine and the instructors should know better...

  21. SCC Nursing Program

    mrsboots87 replied to Gaabey's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Also keep in mind, when schools have a high failure rate, or low NCLEX pass rate, the state BON gets involved. Seeing as we are not being investigated by the BON the program is

  22. SCC Nursing Program

    mrsboots87 replied to Gaabey's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I currently go to SCC an can tell you that you have been lied to. I'm guessing whoever told you this is sullen and mad for something that is nt the school fault. SCC has a decent passing rate in...

  23. Care Plan for 1st clinical in LTC

    mrsboots87 replied to boo439981's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Esme and GrnTea's advice ( They have posted similar/the same on other similar threads) has helped me tremendously. Look at your patient as a whole. Her medical diagnosis matter, but you are treating...

  24. gloves?

    mrsboots87 replied to geerd's topic in General Nursing

    I am just a student, so disregard if you want. My instructors has advised the same as GrnTea and Jory. Unless you have another patients bodily fluids in your pockets (ew for not changing scrubs) or...

  25. Would this actually be a quicker route to getting my RN??

    mrsboots87 replied to KLN72's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Why not mix 1 and 2. Work through your pre reqs for multiple BSN programs. Apply to all of them. If you do not get accepted then apply as a science major (you don't need as AA to get into university....
