  1. What is your overall points for nursing school?

    mrsboots87 replied to brookedavis20's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Each college has their own point system so unless someone from the same college comes across this thread, we cant really say. I can say, that looking at your scores, they seem competitive. So people...

    My state has Rio Salado CC. Its a completely online school and the English courses are either 8 weeks or 14 weeks long. More info here Rio Salado College | Rio Salado College Im not sure what out of...

    Oh, and twash10, what is in the lab kit we have to buy? Many people mention that we have to buy it, but not whats in

  4. MCCD Spring 2014 - Orientation packets

    mrsboots87 replied to mrsboots87's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Do you know if the various programs have different ways of running things a bit? SCC had a registration meeting a week ago where they gave us the rest of the info we needed for what has to be done and...

  5. Labs with Human Cadavers

    mrsboots87 replied to emde's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Human cadavers are not cheap to get, and are generally reserved for advanced medical courses (doctors and such). Even if there was an A&P with cadavers lab available, it is unlikely you would be...

  6. A little help here

    mrsboots87 replied to Jewelmomof4's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It would depend on the program. Some will offer evening and weekend and some will offer days. If your program offers days then there is no way around it. Nursing programs will expect you to rearrange...

  7. BP cuff not required?!

    mrsboots87 replied to erint91DC's topic in General Students

    As another possibility, maybe your school provides on in a lab kit. My school has a lab kit that is provided at orientation that has all the supplies we will need to practice in lab, BP cuff, gloves,...

  8. Gateway CC RN Program 2014

    mrsboots87 replied to dreams2banurse's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I'm starting at SCC in Jan, but I have heard that GWCC is one of the better of the MCCDNP programs. I believe it is pretty high on the list for top nursing schools in the state. I dont now specifics...

  9. Do my last semester of pre-reqs matter since I'll get a decision after the fact?

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

    I would still try to get Bs or higher no matter if they count or not. Reason being is if you get denied at all the programs you applied to, then you will have to reapply and they will definitely...

  10. Anyone have experience with Certified Background?

    mrsboots87 replied to Caitlin23's topic in General Students

    I have used them twice for a background check. Both times took about 4 business days. I have info from out of state and that is what took the extra day. They found all my in state info in 3 days. So...

  11. Do I have a chance with my GPA?

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

    If you are trying to get into an ABSN program, then probably not, unless the school you apply to isnt very competitive. But, if you are "starting fresh" and just try to go the traditional route, you...

  12. Amazing Sim Lab

    mrsboots87 replied to Esme12's topic in General Students

    My campus just remodeled the entire health services building. It already had a few sims, but they recently added 3 of the new ones (a laboring/birthing patient that delivers a baby and 2 other...

  13. A&P Instructor Accused Me of Plagiarism

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

    If I am understanding you correctly, you are saying sho copied her answer and should have been batter at cheating. I dont think you read her post or any subsequent comments because the whole point is...

  14. Tucson Nursing Schools-HELP!/Experience with PMI?

    mrsboots87 replied to kla1983's topic in Arizona Nursing

    There are no waitlists that im aware of. Just competitive entry. But you would take roughly 2 years of pre reqs, then apply, and it would be based on that GPA. Then its 2 years of nursing school. Or...

  15. HESI 1000 max points graded against 1125?

    mrsboots87 replied to wildfirez's topic in General Students

    Ya thats BS. out of 1000, 850 would be 85%, but roughly 76% out of 1125. Thats stupid and there has to be somewhere to complain. They cant just automatically deduct 125 points before even taking an...

  16. A&P Instructor Accused Me of Plagiarism

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

    I didnt even think of that, but its good to know. My school uses a system for submitting assignments thats reformats all work entered to be the same font and such. No matter the font used in whatever...

  17. A&P Instructor Accused Me of Plagiarism

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

    if you used a plagiarism program that showed 0% plagiarism, you have a really good leg to stand on with fighting this. Maybe other students wrote very similar answers (which would make sense), so he...

  18. Tucson Nursing Schools-HELP!/Experience with PMI?

    mrsboots87 replied to kla1983's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I have no experience with PMI, only what ive heard, and I live in Phoenix area, so I dont know the schools near you, but thought I could give some of my opinion/advice. For PMI, I have heard mixed...

  19. A&P Instructor Accused Me of Plagiarism

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

    Many instructors of online classes use a program other than google to research for plagiarism. If it came up as plagiarized it could be from a wide assortment of sources. You need to have him send you...

  20. A&P II before A&P I ?

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

    Just want to add that at my school API is a pre req to AP II. But at my school from forever ago, it didn't matter. I guess it depends on how the school has the material taught. In my current school,...

  21. Which community college in AZ should I look at?

    mrsboots87 replied to correctionnurse1's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Im an in betweener student. I start the nursing program in Jan 2014. So not quite prenursing anymore, and not quite nursing student yet. So if your looking to work during the program, is it daytime or...

  22. HESI 1000 max points graded against 1125?

    mrsboots87 replied to wildfirez's topic in General Students

    You should probably ask them for the actual reason. It is unfair grading practice to make it impossible to achieve higher than an 88% on a test. Maybe they give extra points for certain answers. Maybe...

  23. Which community college in AZ should I look at?

    mrsboots87 replied to correctionnurse1's topic in Arizona Nursing

    There is no school that specifically will allow for 36 hours of work. How much you can work will depend on how you learn and how you do in nursing school. Some colleges have daytime classes, some have...

  24. which road to take ( kind of long)

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

    It sounds like you need to research your education path a bit better because you are misinformed (or at least it seems that way from the info you have provided in your OP). I can help a bit since I am...

  25. nursing instructor advice

    mrsboots87 replied to sarasmith805's topic in General Students

    There are so many possible reasons for why your instructor is acting this way, so it would be best to just make an appt to sit down and talk with her. She could be having a rough time outside of work...
