  1. book recommendation? medical diagnoses into nursing diagnoses

    mrsboots87 replied to memory's_blackhole's topic in General Students

    Also, if you understand the pathophysiology of the disease as well as the treatment to the disease, then you shouldnt need a book to give you diagnoses because you will be able to make them yourself....

  2. book recommendation? medical diagnoses into nursing diagnoses

    mrsboots87 replied to memory's_blackhole's topic in General Students

    There is a reason a book like that is hard to find. There probably are some but it would be counterproductive for a SN to use one. Nursing diagnoses are not based on the medical diagnoses. If they...

  3. Wearing sterile sleeves or a sterile gown for foley insertion?

    mrsboots87 replied to Axmann, RN, BSN, NREMT-B's topic in General Students

    I feel sterile gowning would be overboard. Surgeons uses sterile gowns, double glove, and a sterile room because they will be cutting your protective skin layers to expose your inner body and giving...

  4. Repeating 3rd..not because I failed...is depressing

    mrsboots87 replied to lu2013's topic in General Students

    Also, my school has a repeat policy a little different. If you fail or need to defer a block, you have 2 semesters to re enter or you have to reapply and restart the whole course from block one. Be...

  5. Repeating 3rd..not because I failed...is depressing

    mrsboots87 replied to lu2013's topic in General Students

    I find this comment relating apples to oranges. Nurses coming from over seas have the knowledge. they have completed their program of study in their home country and many have been practicing in those...

  6. Will I struggle in nursing school if I never like math?

    mrsboots87 replied to Sunbeam819's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Liking math does not matter. The only thing that matters is if you are able to do the med math. Seeing as a miscalculation can kill your patient. You will likely be doing a decent amount of math each...

  7. wearing a mask during flu season

    mrsboots87 replied to rpattee's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I have never wanted the flu vax because I don't feel there is a high enough risk involved with me contracting the flu, and it only protects against a few of the projected strains of the season....

  8. Period Problems

    mrsboots87 replied to aroyce1993's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Please don't take this the wrong way, but this is not the place to ask this question. Per TOS, no one here can give you medical advice. And since you cannot verify the legitimacy of what anyones...

  9. need help

    mrsboots87 replied to Jaimi1's topic in General Students

    your best bet is to talk to your DON of your program as each school will be different. The policies for your program are created to first follow your state BON regulations and requirements, and then...

  10. dosage questions

    mrsboots87 replied to hdrnbettyboop's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    In most cases 1g is not 1 mL. But in any case, that is beside the point since it will not really help in these problems. . Op, I assume you have learned dimensional analysis in solving med math...

  11. Palpations, physical exams on genitals?

    mrsboots87 replied to lissart's topic in General Students

    I think most programs have the sim labs where the manequins are built to simulate real life situations. They have complete anatomy from head to toe so students can practice as if its a real patient,...

  12. Palpations, physical exams on genitals?

    mrsboots87 replied to lissart's topic in General Students

    Gizmo as your avatar is just the icing on the cake for this comment.

  13. I got your policy right here...

    mrsboots87 replied to KarmenB's topic in General Students

    With your second explanation, I agree with the other poster. Even though you withdrew from one class and actually didnt pass the second, in both cases you retook both classes. Withdrawal and fail...

  14. Wrist tattoo; bad idea?

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

    I would advise against it. There are some facilities that are more lenient, and will either allow small visible tattoos or the use of bandages to cover them. But some facilities are super strict and...

  15. I got your policy right here...

    mrsboots87 replied to KarmenB's topic in General Students

    I'm not 100% sure what exactly you are trying to explain, and it sounds like its because it was not explained well to you. Do you mean that your clinical hours will be over the limit, or your total...

  16. Recent Misdemeanor Charges

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

    It would be good to contact your nursing director immediately. Only they would be able to tell you if this will show up on future background checks as a negative. You don't want to waste your time and...

  17. Does volunteering help with job prospects after grad?

    mrsboots87 replied to Murse Wannabe's topic in Nursing Career

    In my area, volunteer work does not really boost the resume any, if at all. What volunteer work does do is show the prospective employer you have interest in their facility and allows you to network...

  18. To buy or to rent? Drug Calculation textbook

    mrsboots87 replied to ravenpuff's topic in General Students

    You should contact your professor for your current block. In my program, there is homework assigned out of the med math book every semester. And what you learn is built on each semester. starting with...

  19. What would you say about these type of grades?

    mrsboots87 replied to Yardena7's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Its not just the Cs to look at. Its also the lack of A grades in those pre req courses. B grades are good, but only in combination with mostly A grades. For nursing school application anyway. Not...

  20. Nurse jobs that allow modifications?

    mrsboots87 replied to hayleyyelyah's topic in General Students

    I have some tattoos. Rather large ones actually. The kind you can see from very far away. They are beautiful. They each have meaning to me. That being said. I got one before knowing I wanted to be a...

  21. How hard is the BLS class (CPR) ?

    mrsboots87 replied to YourLocalAsian's topic in General Students

    I found it pretty simple. I also took HCP BLS through a private "school" listed on the AHA website. The instructors want you to pass and will do what they can to get you there. In my class of 12...

  22. Thwarted by Viète! or How I Learned To Stop Worrying and Accept I Suck At Algebra

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

    Also, what classes would you be taking alongside your algebra class? If the other classes you take count toward application GPA, then do as well as you can, but don't let your other classes suffer. If...

  23. Thwarted by Viète! or How I Learned To Stop Worrying and Accept I Suck At Algebra

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

    Also consider if you wish to further your education. A lot of your pre req classes won't affect your application. BUT, if you wish to move on with nursing education later, your TOTAL GPA will matter....

  24. How is nursing competitive exactly?

    mrsboots87 replied to Autumn.Olive's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Competitive is referring to getting accepted and getting jobs. As in, GPA, essays, volunteer work if required, and all that. Students want the highest scores to have a competitive chance at entry....

  25. ASU Pre-requisite Issues!

    mrsboots87 replied to jnichox2's topic in Arizona Nursing

    If the classes are listed as pre reqs, they have to be completed before entering the program. You can take them online through Rio Solado College out here. THey will offer all of those course and they...
