    Good time to be finished with nursing school

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

    The way I see it, she can be 29 and just finishing nursing school...or she can be 29 and not be doing anything. I'd be much more upset about the 2nd option. I graduate next week and I'm 28. My motto...

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

    avoiding evil CIs = RN

    Boog'sCRRN246 replied to amianurseyet?'s topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Grades.. can cause more problems then you think

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

    You have got to be kidding...you want to apologize to what sounds like an incredibly immature group of people for your grades? Did I get that right? If they feel inadequate and want to complain to...

    Dear Precepting Student:

    Boog'sCRRN246 replied to Music in My Heart's topic in General Students

    Yes, I do think students should know how to start an IV out of nursing school. It's a skill that's taught in most, if not all, RN programs and some LPN programs also. Why wouldn't a student be allowed...

    What in the drug calculation is this???

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

    I'm not really sure what your question is - the problem asks for the maximum dose in a 24-hr period, which would be 397.75mg. If it asked for the maximum dose PER dose, then the answer would be...

    Nursing Diagnoses for Mucocele

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

    Yeah, the mucoceles I'm familiar with occur mainly in the mouth, so I was wondering why the patient needed a craniotomy, but now it makes sense,
