    Can you unscramble...

    Boog'sCRRN246 replied to Spikey74's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Well, yeah, the answer is 1ml because that's what the question is asking for. If you wrote '75mcg', that would be wrong b/c the question asks 'how many mL's would you

    Can you unscramble...

    Boog'sCRRN246 replied to Spikey74's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    0.2tsp/X mL = 1tsp/5 mL............X = 1mL There's no mention of mg in the problem. If you give 0.2tsp, the dose you're giving is

    What do you do in a newborn nursery?

    Boog'sCRRN246 replied to mell260's topic in General Students

    We did immunizations, feedings, heel sticks, LOTS of diaper changing, baths, assessments, assisting with circumcisions...I also had moments of feeling insane b/c when the nursery was full and every...

    NCLEX comparable to what you studied?

    Boog'sCRRN246 replied to beachgirl2011's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I used a Kaplan review book. I found the questions on NCLEX to be easier. I didn't have any calculations, SATA, or hot spot questions. I passed with 75 questions, guess I got lucky

    I need help with this question!

    Boog'sCRRN246 replied to mrspalmeretti's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I was taught in both my LPN and RN programs that if a patient has radiation implants, long-handled forceps and a lead-lined container should always be in the room in the event the radioactive implant...

    do your teachers make u sign in for class?

    Boog'sCRRN246 replied to Pneumothorax's topic in General Students

    We didn't have to sign out though, that is kinda weird

    Boog'sCRRN246 replied to Pneumothorax's topic in General Students

    We had to sign in at the start of class, after returning from our first break, and after returning from lunch. It was policy that if a student missed so many hours of class time that they could...

    Is this correct?

    Boog'sCRRN246 replied to helppassnclex's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Dopamine is usually dosed as "mcg/kg/min"... So if dopamine is ordered 10mcg/kg/min and you want to find the mL/hr flow rate with what's available (Dopamine 300mg/350mL): 140lbs/2.2 = 64kg So the...

    pt with lupus on AZT

    Boog'sCRRN246 replied to ACNP 2B S1S2RRR's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    The only off-label use of zidovudine I could find was for treatment of T-cell lymphoma or leukemia and thrombocytopenia in HIV patients. Can't say it was the most reputable source, but that's what I...

    Scope of practice-LPN

    Boog'sCRRN246 replied to RadBSN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Honestly...I'm not sure. In my NCLEX experience, it was pretty cut and dry, that if any kind of assessment was involved, it was not to be delegated and there was another, better, answer choice....

    Scope of practice-LPN

    Boog'sCRRN246 replied to RadBSN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Those are the things that you can't delegate to a LPN. LPN's generally cannot evaluate, do initial assessment, or teaching. Those three main items are what I saw on the NCLEX for delegation questions....

    My testing anxiety!!

    Boog'sCRRN246 replied to myviefolle07's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    OP, please don't take offense to this, but...you seriously need to relax! If you postpone the exam until you feel completely ready you'll never, ever take it. Not to mention all the information you'll...

    normally, the question would specify 'what is the total amount administered in a 24-hour period?' or something of that nature if you were to include the frequency in your calculation. this question...

    Boog'sCRRN246 replied to Sugar-Phosphate's topic in General Nursing

    I use Bed Head products. I never use gel or mousse because they end up feeling gross on my scalp. I usually use just a small amount of smoothing cream and a tiny drop of shine

    What kind of hair do you have? Is it curly, straight, wavy...? What products do you use? I have slightly wavy hair, but I flat iron it smooth and, generally, it stays that way for a whole shift. Takes...

    Boog'sCRRN246 replied to AddisonLawrence03's topic in General Students

    Well, I'm assuming the question is asking how many capsules you'd give if the order is Librium 10mg PO q6h and you have Librium 5mg capsules on hand. So my final answer would be that you'd give two...

    Final semester, good grades, but I feel like I need remediation.

    Boog'sCRRN246 replied to simply_viki's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I think what would be worse is if you graduated feeling like you know everything. What you described is not uncommon at all. That's why decent employers (those that will hire a new grad these days...

    Which study method is the best?!

    Boog'sCRRN246 replied to kcolly's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    60-78% on the practice tests is actually very good. I believe getting 60-65% means you're in line with what is considered passing for NCLEX. I've been studying a Kaplan book that has small review...

    Hooters as Job History...Could this hurt my chances of getting a job?

    If you leave it off your resume, not only are you giving in to the ignorant people, you're also omitting what sounds like a significant part of your work
