    Why do people rent text books?

    Boog'sCRRN246 replied to Saysfaa's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I've never rented a book, but my thoughts...Renting can be cheaper (renting doesn't always cost just as much as a used book), used books aren't always available, it's not always possible to re-sell a...

    Of these Los Angeles schools, which one is least "ghetto"

    Boog'sCRRN246 replied to okiedokie123's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't think properly or "correctly" defining the word 'ghetto' is as important as having respect for where the word came from, why it was used, and the circumstances surrounding its origins. Using...

    I didn't know I was pregnant?

    Boog'sCRRN246 replied to cali_rusk's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Abnormal periods are what most of the women on this show have in common. I'll be honest, I've never been pregnant, but I've had friends who say movements made by the baby feel a lot like gas and...

    CONFUSED...I thought 1 yr into a 2yr RN program, you can b LPN???

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

    Your state may allow it, but it's up to your program director as to whether or not he/she will sign off on you taking the exam. My school used to allow this, but they found those that passed the exam...

    Help I get one answer and they give me another

    Boog'sCRRN246 replied to rjsloan29's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I got the same answers you did. For the first problem, you know you wouldn't give an IM injection of 10mL. I would clarify these problems with your

    Nursing Grad Questions

    Boog'sCRRN246 replied to R2K2NE1's topic in General Nursing

    With blood transfusion reactions, you stop the transfusion, remove the blood tubing, and start a NS infusion with new tubing. If you flush the blood tubing, you're just giving the patient even more of...

    Erwin is making me crazy.

    Boog'sCRRN246 replied to ag1986's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    That's not specific to your program. I went through the LPN program at Traviss in Lakeland almost 3 years ago and we were treated the same way at almost every facility we went to for clinicals. A...

    CMA posing as nurse...?

    Boog'sCRRN246 replied to WannaBeNrse's topic in General Nursing

    Just wanted to say this whole post made me LOL Also, why in the world would nurses feel threatened by MAs/CMAs/RMAs when a nurse has infinitely larger career opportunities in

    Allegria shoes?

    Boog'sCRRN246 replied to turnforthenurse's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I have a pair of Alegria's and they don't compare to my Danskos. I've decided they look goofy and I trip even more than when i wear the Danskos

    Any CNA's who got hired in a hospital with no experience?

    Boog'sCRRN246 replied to teysmith's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I'm not a CNA anymore, but my first CNA job was at a large teaching hospital. I was actually hired as a PCT and trained on the job to draw blood and do EKGs. CNAs are hired many, many places. Off the...

    ADN right before entering nursing school?

    Boog'sCRRN246 replied to yourdailyesther's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I'm curious what you mean when you refer to taking TWO exams. To be a RN, you only have to pass the NCLEX once, be it after graduating from an ADN or a BSN program. If you do a RN-BSN bridge, you've...

    Infant Circumcision in Nursing school

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

    It was optional in my program. If we were in the nursery that day and one happened to be going on, we were invited to observe, but it wasn't

    Night/Hospital gowns with side slits ???

    Boog'sCRRN246 replied to Trekfan's topic in General Nursing

    I read about this line of patient apparel in a magazine a few years ago. I have no idea if they will have what you are looking for, but it's worth a peek.

    Is it frowned upon???

    Boog'sCRRN246 replied to lpn-ny's topic in General Nursing

    Where did you read that in the OP? I didn't read anywhere in the post where it said she wanted to fill in only at the facility she's already employed with. She stated she wanted to sign up with a...

    Smokers in Nursing School--How Are You Treated?

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

    I guess count yourself as lucky that you're even allowed to smoke during clinical time, in your clinical uniform. In my program, it was against school policy to smoke during clinical time (meal break...

    Boog'sCRRN246 replied to BPayne16's topic in General Nursing

    A "great nurse" is capable of keeping her anger in check. If this person already has anger issues, and they are not even exposed to some of the crap that comes with a nursing career, it doesn't really...

    Wash scrubs with regular laundry?

    Boog'sCRRN246 replied to jdsp87's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    If my scrubs are white, they go in with the whites. If my scrubs are colored, they go in with the colors. I don't separate because my utility bill is high enough already. I feel like my regular...

    Any orthopedic techs out there?

    Boog'sCRRN246 replied to aphorist's topic in Nursing Career

    I found more ortho techs working in physician's offices than in the hospital setting. When I worked Ortho in the hospital setting, nurses set up traction for patient's with fractures awaiting surgery....

    Amount of debt upon graduation?

    Boog'sCRRN246 replied to citylights89's topic in General Students

    Why do you assume just because someone finished school without debt that their college career was funded by parents? Some people save money and some people work their way through

    what experience is needed for a LPN?

    Boog'sCRRN246 replied to msJoJo's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    No. Working as a CNA and working as a LPN are two different things. The only caveat to that would be if you remain employed by the same facility. They may or may not count time spent working as a CNA...
