  1. Titer questions: TDaP

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

    Probably because most place don't offere a tdap titer because they are expensive and its better just to get revaxed since you need to do it every 10 years anyway. Most titers out of pocket cost is...

  2. Failure of Anatomy I

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

    its really going to depend on your school. You need to find out their retake policy for replacing grades. Some schools allow up to 3 retakes to replace a failing grade. Some only take 1. The school...

  3. ***Background Check*** is an alien with asylum case pending allowed to study nursing?

    mrsboots87 replied to sunwave's topic in Immigration Advice

    Im pretty sure most, if not all, programs require students to be a legal citizen, or have a student visa or something to the like to apply. It wouldn't be the background check that you need to worry...

  4. I need help...

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

    If your dream is to be a nurse, maybe start your courses for your current path. While in school apply to a CC with either a waitlist or lottery selection. Maybe you can get in that way for an ADN....

  5. What has been your favorite prerequisite?

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

    I loved chem as well. It was interesting and had "rules". I love concepts that follow specific "rules". It just makes sense to me. The labs were fun as well. I also like both intro psych and...

  6. Pre-Student Pre-Chem?

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

    Honestly, the best thing to do is just wait. Your first chem class will be a basic chem that begins at the very essentials of chemistry and build from there. Same for your other classes. You will need...

  7. Deciding between minor or certificate! HELP!

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

    Are you going into a BSN or ADN program. If its an ADN, why don't you take some of the pre reqs for a BSN pathway program in case you go back for your BSN later. And if it is a BSN program you are in,...

  8. Immuization requirement before starting the program at uta

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

    Every program is different, so you would need to ask your advisor. THat being said, I would assume that as long as you have started the series and give them verification of you completing the series...

  9. Failed. :(

    mrsboots87 replied to sjg8412's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Since most programs require college level math as a pre req, I don't see what the harm in the TEAS and HESI are since the math in them is below college level. Nursing programs don't want to admit...

  10. Is it common to have to study for the HESI or repeat?

    mrsboots87 posted a topic in HESI Entrance, Exit Exam

    I am genuinely not trying to boast or put anyone down by that question. I was just lurking and see all these posts about not passing or retaking because of lows scores got me wondering. I took it one...

  11. CNO Non-practicing class issues!

    mrsboots87 replied to elleann11's topic in Retired Nurses

    That sucks! Its probable a ploy for more money. By requiring you to go into a non active status, you have to pay more to reinstate and they make more

  12. Grades and jobs

    mrsboots87 replied to dannygirl04's topic in General Students

    Look at it this way. You are working your tail off to barely pass. Think of the people not working as hard as you. They are probably failing or will drop. Just keep doing the best you can to pass and...

  13. Acne from being at the hospital???

    mrsboots87 replied to loveoutloud's topic in General Students

    Agreed with what others are saying. Its is likely not solely due to the hospital, but that may play a part. Hospital are filled with acne cause "air". Likely you are more stressed but don't realize...

  14. Grades and jobs

    mrsboots87 replied to dannygirl04's topic in General Students

    First of all, your clinical instructor sounds like a jerk and should maybe be reported for having unrealistic expectations. Especially if they havnt given you enough time in OB to really learn....

  15. Should I follow my heart?

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

    Honestly, only you can make this decision. There is a lot of hard work that goes into getting into a program, then the program itself is rigorous. But if it is truly something you want to do, then it...

  16. Student nurse overseas elective placement help!!

    mrsboots87 replied to peachesuk's topic in International Nursing

    You might be hard pressed to find a clinical site that will allow you at all. For US students to participate in any clinical environment, the school has to have a contract with the site and both...

  17. Nursing School Bag - Vera Bradley

    mrsboots87 replied to musaafirah's topic in General Students

    Wow, why are you so rude? Did you not get accepted to med school? Did a nurse slap you around? Are you even a nurse or student? Like I don't get why you felt the need to badger some nursing students...

  18. Fall 2013 maricopa mursim program accepted date stamps

    mrsboots87 replied to natalie88's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I know right! The cost is a LOTTT more than the regular route. On one of the posts on another thread on this site, someone posted that for the NAU CEP their first semester is almost $6000. Ouch! A 3...

  19. Looking for the right program for me

    mrsboots87 replied to layla26's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't know from personal experience, only what I've heard, but online nursing classes are not the way to go unless there is absolutely no other option for you. I start my program next semester, and...

  20. Getting into nursing school!

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

    Why would you waste money on a "back-up" degree? Very few schools give points for already having a degree, and honestly if you study and get good grades you should be able to get into nursing school....

  21. Fall 2013 maricopa mursim program accepted date stamps

    mrsboots87 replied to natalie88's topic in Arizona Nursing

    That's good to know. I war going to go to a CEP session in Nov but got placed for the SCC trad in spring/14. If CEP is not taking from the pool spots, then they have just coincidentally started...

  22. What's the best book bag for Nursing School?

    mrsboots87 replied to studentnurse92's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Before using any book rental sites for your nursing textbooks, keep in mind that many schools lecture from multiple book per semester and that many of those books are used for the entire 2 years....

  23. Got a first F! scared of applying

    mrsboots87 replied to youngz93's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    ^WSS. Why waste the time and money to take a class you don't need. It sucks your GPA was affected, but nursing programs only care that you passed required courses. THey will still look at your overall...

  24. How does transferring schools work with your GPA?

    mrsboots87 replied to msmith34's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Your prev grades will matter, especially if some of them are for pre reqs to the program. Most colleges want an overall GPA (all classes attempted at all colleges) as well as your pre req GPA, and...

  25. Fall 2013 maricopa mursim program accepted date stamps

    mrsboots87 replied to natalie88's topic in Arizona Nursing

    That's this semester though. In a semester that, say, only has 250 spots available, there will still be about the same CEP program capacity, so up to half the spots would be CEP. However, in the last...
