  1. Driving an hour to school there and back

    mrsboots87 replied to SarahStoddard14's topic in General Students

    I am semi rural, and will have to drive 45 mins each way for my RN program. There are some closer, but with bad reputations. Id say if you end goal is to be an RN, drive the hour. Its only 2 years,...

  2. I need help.. I feel like I'm never going to get into a nursing school!

    mrsboots87 replied to mmcdon32's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Here in AZ, you would get accepted with a 3.51 and a 94 teas, and they accept out of state residents. Not saying you have to come to AZ, but look around. Not all school only take in state residents....

  3. Received my 3rd rejection today.

    mrsboots87 replied to iono101's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Im so sorry about your trouble. Its understandable to feel sad on a first time rejection, let alone a third. Have you looked into what you colleges retake policy is. Maybe retake a pre req or 2 and...

  4. Former foster kids who are becoming nurses...

    mrsboots87 replied to Fawnz's topic in United Kingdom

    I cannot understand your exact situation, but keep in mind that even though your friends with parents may not understand living on your own and not having parents or family to rely, many other people...

  5. CHM130 Online at Phoenix College

    mrsboots87 replied to jen91's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I would honestly take chem in a class if you can instead of online. I have taken sciences both in class and online, and while most would be ok in the online version, chem seems like it would be easier...

  6. FINGER PRINTING

    mrsboots87 replied to lisa1965's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    This info can be found on the website used to download the fingerprint app (I forgot where since its been 3 years since I got my fingerprint card). Also, as far as getting a license and job, I want to...

  7. What should I have engraved on my stethoscope?

    mrsboots87 replied to blindcheeseit3's topic in General Students

    I put my first and middle initial, and full last name. I also put stars in front and behind my name. Like lorirn2b, i figured its mine so why not. I also agree not to put RN at the end. you are not...

  8. CNA job interview at hospital, one problem though

    mrsboots87 replied to MikeDee1234's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If the job descriptions states it requires 1st semester clinical experience, and the recruiter wants to interview on your experience it will be a waste of both of your time to even do the interview....

  9. Need some advice please!!!

    mrsboots87 replied to mm09026's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    ^WSS. Withdraw. If you will retake it anyway, the W will get replaced with the new grade when you retake

  10. In a bit of a pickle.... needing some advice

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

    For financial aid, you would still qualify for loans, but not grants for a second BA. ANd the government loans have a cap of 57,000. Dont know how close you are to hitting that limit, but once you...

  11. HELP! Nursing student who can't pass classes and is on the verge of dropping out!

    mrsboots87 replied to knraymo's topic in General Students

    I mean no offense by this, but why are they even letting you continue the program after failing 4 core classes. Most schools have a 1-2 time fail and repeat policy. It is absurd that they will keep...

  12. Failed in the BSN program last semester.Any schools accept me?me?

    mrsboots87 replied to bna04's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    So then you were doing well. That's good. I don't have an answer for if schools will accept you while wating to reapply at your current school, but have you tried to appeal for a repeat of just the...

  13. BSN Question?

    mrsboots87 replied to Jose27's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Your post is a bit confusing, so I will answer what I think you are asking. A BSN program is four years, ADN in 2 BUT, both degrees only have 2 years of nursing courses. The first years are just...

  14. Just failed Nursing 307 Fundamentals Clinical, need guidance

    mrsboots87 replied to ThePhilster's topic in General Students

    It sounds like a break will be good for you. Since I wasn't there when you were with the psych service, I cant really say if it had to do with that. It is not always easy see what outsiders see when...

  15. Dilemma: miss class before exam due to illness?

    mrsboots87 replied to SopranoKris's topic in General Students

    l would still go to class unless I was running a fever. I would, however, do all I could to prevent spread. Not share anything with classmates (pencils and such), would probably wear a mask, sit in...

  16. In a bit of a pickle.... needing some advice

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

    One thing to consider is how obtaining a BA will effect financial aid. Im assuming that you use grants and loans because you said you have to work and don't have a lot of money, if I misread then my...

  17. Failed in the BSN program last semester.Any schools accept me?me?

    mrsboots87 replied to bna04's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The schools in my area will allow one fail and repeat. If you fail even one class in a semester, you repeat the entire semester, but only if you appeal your drop for failing and the nursing department...

  18. Adult Nursing Students: How do you pay your bills while in school?

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

    I dont work. My husband does, and I use student loan and grants each semester to tide us over if we are tight one month or something comes up. We have 2 kids, 2 cars, and all the normal rent and...

  19. Unique situation as an upcoming grad.

    mrsboots87 replied to lexicon28's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Honestly, youre an adult. This decision is up to you and not your parents. If you want to stay then stay, if you want to move back then move back, your parents opinion is

  20. 8 week classes

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

    Agreed with feeling rushed and like I didn't retain much in the one 8 week science I took. I took pathophysiology 8 week online and I feel like I really didn't learn much. I passed with an A, but we...

  21. Jobs that will pay for schooling

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

    I forgot to also add that there is a scholarship program but I forgot the name of it. They pay for your school and give you a monthly stipend for gas and such and you sign an agreement that you will...

  22. Jobs that will pay for schooling

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

    I honestly do not mean to be snarky in saying this, but good luck finding an employer that is willing to pay for your schooling before even being hired with them and not knowing anything about you...

  23. For you Mesa Community College spring 2014 students.. facebook group..

    mrsboots87 replied to kmk84's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I am SCC so it may be different for mesa, but in my cohort all the CEP and regular students have lecture together, then the CEP students have an extra class with lecture on a different day by...

  24. Nursing school orientation

    mrsboots87 replied to PurpleLover's topic in General Students

    For the 2 step you get the first injection and have the result read in between 48-72 hours later. The second injection needs to be done between 1-3 weeks from the first and read between 48-72 hours...

  25. 8 week classes

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

    Just don't take more than 2 8 week classes together unless you don't work and don't have kids. It is doable with work and kids, but VERY hard. 8 weeks courses teach the same material as the 16 week as...
