  1. Nursing students and immaturity

    mrsboots87 replied to Melanin's topic in General Students

    I have no idea why adults (male or otherwise) would think it ok to speak to you like this, or act this way in general. Ignoring them may work, but you are better off telling them that you dont...

  2. MCCD Spring 2014 - Orientation packets

    mrsboots87 replied to mrsboots87's topic in Arizona Nursing

    No worries, you didnt miss anything. The list above and the info about the uniform I compiled from various threads on this site. I got overexcited and was offered money for school stuff by family...

  3. Planned Parenthood Health Center Assistant...What Next?

    mrsboots87 replied to wanna_be's topic in General Students

    So I had to go look, looks like technically you dont have to be an RN, or at least at the UNI in my area. Just have to have 500 hours or more of direct patient care. I dont know if the care you will...

  4. Planned Parenthood Health Center Assistant...What Next?

    mrsboots87 replied to wanna_be's topic in General Students

    Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe you have to become an RN first before you can become an NP or PA. Most if not all schools will require you to have some experience as part of the...

  5. Unsupportive fiance...not sure what to do

    mrsboots87 replied to Ashley_Sam's topic in General Students

    Lay down the law. He doesnt control you and doesnt get to act that way and expect it to be OK. How long you have been together is irrelevant when it comes to him not wanting you to do this, or school...

  6. Should I go straight to graduate school or pay off my debts first?

    mrsboots87 replied to Kathy Kethdy's topic in General Students

    Without considering any experience you may need to even apply, look at the income difference when making your choice. What is the average base salary for an RN in your area? Then, what is the average...

  7. Should I be worried??

    mrsboots87 replied to kdixon123's topic in General Students

    I don't understand what exactly you are asking. If you are getting good grades in your classes then why would you be worried? Everybody learns different ways and some people pick up concepts easier...

  8. Thinking about cross training to nursing

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

    ALso a BSN will open up more doors for your. You can get into nursing management, imformatics, research, go for your MSN after to become an NP or other advanced practice

  9. Thinking about cross training to nursing

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

    If this is something you are truly interested in, it would probably be best to go straight for the BSN if you have the GPA from your prev degrees to be competitive. IF you have a higher than 3.5 GPA...

  10. Nursing staff & curriculum being reviewed.

    mrsboots87 replied to Raider 3/1's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    And as for the chapters, that honestly doesnt sound that outragious. I have heard that in my program (dont start until Jan 14), there are some week with only a couple chapters to review, and there are...

  11. Nursing staff & curriculum being reviewed.

    mrsboots87 replied to Raider 3/1's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I dont know what would happen in this case, but my advice to you would be to complete your pre reqs and apply somewhere else. WIth graduation rates that low, I would not want to "learn" there. The...

  12. MCCD Spring 2014 - Orientation packets

    mrsboots87 replied to mrsboots87's topic in Arizona Nursing

    You get them at apparel pro in tempe. Their website is apparelprousa.com. The pants range from $18-24 and have a couple different styles. The tops are like $18 I think. And the jacket (optional) is...

  13. Help! LVN bridge to RN? Or prereqs straight to RN program?

    mrsboots87 replied to sharonanderson24's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Makes sense. I wasnt trying to say you were wrong, though after rereading my post, I see it came off that way. My bad. I was trying to point out that its different everywhere since in my program,...

  14. GPA determination for nursing program

    mrsboots87 replied to RnStudent2021's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If your school requires a 3.0 for consideration, there is no point in you applying until you retake a couple classes. It is called a minimum requirement for a reason. If you school is competitive,...

  15. SAT OR Accuplacer

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

    The SAT is more of a high school graduate type test. I assume any adult could probably take it if they want to attend a college that requires the score. But, for just regular college entry, just take...

  16. Can an RN student work as an LPN?

    mrsboots87 replied to mbookach's topic in General Students

    Agreed that it depends on your state BON guidelines and your schools program. In AZ the MCCCD nursing programs offer the ability to take the NCLEX PN after your first year of nursing school. BUT, you...

  17. What to do? :(

    mrsboots87 replied to Toaster's topic in General Students

    First, you are an adult. THis is your life and not your parents. I know it is hard to feel like you will disappoint your parents, but at the end of the day, you have to do whats right for you. You can...

  18. What would you do?

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

    I personally would base it on your competition. If you know, or maybe ask on your state board, what the GPA/HESI scores are on average for the people who have been accepted, see where you stand in...

  19. Help! LVN bridge to RN? Or prereqs straight to RN program?

    mrsboots87 replied to sharonanderson24's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Its going to be different everywhere, but I can say that one thing that is the same across the board is prereqs. Whether you go LVP/LPN-RN, or straight to RN, you will have to complete the pre reqs....

  20. When exactly should I transfer from my community college to a 4 year nursing college?

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

    The core nursing program for the ADN is very similar to the BSN except the BSN has a few upper level courses and nursing management courses and such added in. If you plan to get your BSN anyway, you...

  21. Chemistry/Which kind?

    mrsboots87 replied to studentnursemon86's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Check the requirements for the BSN program you will apply to. Many will have a specific one they want you to take. Theres not usually a choice in which one and if there is, the program requirement...

  22. How do you decide on a speciality?

    mrsboots87 replied to gmarquardt's topic in General Students

    Was there a particular clinical area you liked more than the others? Maybe start there. Or see if you can find a job as a floater so you can see various aspects of nursing until you find your niche....

  23. Failure of Anatomy I

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

    That's a great point. I didn't even think of that even though I have done it. When I was fresh out of highschool 8 years ago, I wanted to be a physical therapist. I took A&P1 my first semester and...

  24. If anyone knows the answer to this, please let me know

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

    Someone may come and correct me if Im wrong, but I personally do not think there are any 12 month nursing courses. I believe to be accredited, the school has to have so much clinical time and...

  25. One C in science prerequisite

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

    Maybe go to your AN state forums and post asking what GPAs people were accepted into various programs with had. I would imagine with only 1 C tarnishing an otherwise perfect GPA, that you will likely...
