  1. Jobs in Tucson/Phoenix area for new grad

    mrsboots87 replied to garcherry725's topic in Arizona Nursing

  2. AZ/NM Indian Reservation nursing

    mrsboots87 replied to 445liz's topic in Travel

    In Arizona a lot of the reservations are just outside the main cities. I believe only native can live on reservation land, but you shouldn't be more than 45 min drive from the hospital to a main city....

  3. Reccomendations for post immunizations??

    mrsboots87 replied to studentnurse9806's topic in Pediatric

    I am just a nursing student, so I could be wrong. But from research Ive done because of having two young children, I would not openly advise of tylenol after every vax. It should only be used if the...

  4. Background check & nursing- Help!! PLEASE?

    mrsboots87 replied to jerry.hockman's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

  5. lpn to RN online, whats the material format like? looking up questions all day?

    mrsboots87 replied to northmississippi's topic in LPN to RN

    How do you get an LPN to RN without clinicals? Or does this online program provide clinical rotations and just the lecture portion is online. Every state BON has regulations on how many clinical hours...

  6. Failed nursing school twice!! I need advice. HELP!

    mrsboots87 replied to earl33's topic in General Students

    Being able to sit for the PN all depends on your state regulations and what your RN program offers. In my state for the CC I am going to, after the first year, a student can take a 3 credit bridge to...

  7. Advanced Placement Wait Times MCCD

    mrsboots87 replied to 2ndCareer_Nurse2B's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Its hard to give a definitive answer because wait times depend on a few factors. One is if you are completing LPN school at Gateway, I believe they hold a certain number of spots just for LPNs...

  8. Can't get federal aid, best private loans?

    mrsboots87 replied to Wrestler133's topic in General Students

    I was under the mpression that you cannot get anymore grants once you have earned a BS, but can still get loans as long as your entire balance doesn't exceed $57,000 between the first and second...

  9. Nursing student theft

    mrsboots87 replied to beeker's topic in General Nursing

    If they already have a case against her, its up to you. In either case, they need to return your scope and possibly even reimburse you if your purchased another one. Since they admitted they had it...

  10. Where do you all get textbooks from

    mrsboots87 replied to maj0079's topic in General Students

    I buy off amazon.com and chegg.com if amazon is out. The to have very similar pricing, but chegg charges shipping where amazon usually doesn't. My fundamentals book was over $100 at the bookstore. $80...

  11. Silly questions I should probably know the answer to

    mrsboots87 replied to miss.ariel's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Most CC offer online versions of their most popular classes, and generally the nursing pre reqs are popular. You just need to speak with a nursing program advisor at your desired schools, and then...

  12. Are textbooks this expensive????

    mrsboots87 replied to 2015's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    That's pretty good. My schools lists all the required books for all 4 semesters at once. I buy them all now, even though some wont get used until next semester or further. The total cost at the...

  13. My school is saying I owe 1750!

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

    In short, yes. They can do this. If you owe a balance, then they can block your enrollment in any classes, can not allow you to apply for programs, and can hold your degree from you. I am not trying...

  14. Jobs in Tucson/Phoenix area for new grad

    mrsboots87 replied to garcherry725's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Oh and we are saturated in Phoenix. There are 8 or more CC with ADN programs, I believe 3 UNIs with BSN programs, and quite a few private schools. All of which churn out hundreds of new grads each...

  15. Jobs in Tucson/Phoenix area for new grad

    mrsboots87 replied to garcherry725's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Most of the hospitals i Phoenix are aiming for magnet status. To get an ADN hospital job is VERY hard out here and generally you have to know someone at the facilities to even get an interview. Unless...

  16. Defer enrollment

    mrsboots87 replied to 16mm's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I guess that makes sense. I was just

  17. How far in advance do i need to apply for a summer job?

    mrsboots87 replied to cate3624's topic in General Students

    Some hospitals have student nurse positions. They will usually run the application and interview process a couple months before the semester ends. Then the students start orientation the week after...

  18. Post your Fall 2013 grades!

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

    My school is does not +/- grade. Just flat ABCD. I go to a CC. Some of the UNIs around here grade with +/-. Anyway this semester was my last 2 classes for BSN. I am accepted to an ADN, and finished...

  19. Placed at MCC for Spring 2014

    mrsboots87 replied to harley0527's topic in Arizona Nursing

    In the timestamp thread she said she was 8:01:15. I would say keep an eye on your phone. Even if you are a full minute behind her, they will call people until someone picks up. It can be quite a few...

  20. How far in advance do i need to apply for a summer job?

    mrsboots87 replied to cate3624's topic in General Students

    Another thought is to look into volunteering while in school. Its usually just one shift of 4 hours or less a week. Then when summer jobs post, you already have your foot in the door and a better...

  21. Is this too much money to pay for pre-reqs?

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

    The cost is pretty decent. It seems a little high for a CC, but not too bad. Much less then a UNI would cost. The best way to answer if the cost is worth it is to just look at the pre req and co req...

  22. Student Loan help!!!

    mrsboots87 replied to misssarab.5's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    This is something I wish was more commonly explained to pre nursing students. Im sure some school mention up front costs in pre nursing orientation, or during the application process, but I mostly see...

  23. Defer enrollment

    mrsboots87 replied to 16mm's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It's up to the specific school so you would have to call a nursing advisor and ask. My questions is why are you going to apply if you want to defer anyway? Why not just apply for the following...

  24. Should I reapply to nursing school?

    mrsboots87 replied to na-na's topic in General Students

    If you can delay until May then do so. You have raised your GPA and have volunteer work to add. These factors will give you a bit of a boost. Then if you get alternate status again or just declined,...

  25. AA instead of AS

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

    I'm not sure I completely understand what you are asking, but I see part of it is concern over if you should drop your classes because they don't pertain to a nursing degree. For that I would say yes....
