    30+ page care plans

    Boog'sCRRN246 posted a topic in General Students

    Just curious... I've read several threads where students mention having to write 30 page (or more!) care plans for every clinical. I've gone through LPN school and I'm eight weeks away from finishing...

    30+ page care plans

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

    The thing is, an actual "care plan", by definition, is a nursing diagnosis based on assessment, nursing interventions for the diagnosis, goals & expected patient outcomes, and actual patient...

    30+ page care plans

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

    Thank you. My longest was two pages. The "care plans" I'm reading about sound more like the project I'm working on right now in order to graduate. It's a case study - includes five med analyses, five...

    Does anyone else's program do this? (Grades)

    Boog'sCRRN246 replied to CaptScrubs13's topic in General Students

    Our grades are posted within two hours of everyone finishing the exam. I will say though, that if certain questions are considered "high miss" questions, the instructors will go back over those...

    What is YOUR opinion on nursing school exams?

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

    The problem with the bolded statement is that no matter how many times an instructor may cover a particular topic, someone (or several someones) is always going to say "You didn't cover that...That's...

    30+ page care plans

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

    "Finally, we have to list our nursing diagnosis with rationales, interventions, goals, and evaluation." The way I was taught, the above is all a care plan really is. That's why I was so curious as to...

    Clinical instructors that aren't fond of one another?

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

    This happened to my class also! We were taught at least 5 different ways to access a port...but when it came time to be tested on it, we had to do it a certain way, although none of us were sure...

    Working "below your license"

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

    I'm a LPN and I wanted to try to get a tech job too, since most hospitals around me won't hire LPNs, but one of the requirements for tech positions in my area is that you cannot hold an active state...

    PCA and Nurse Aide, what's the difference

    Boog'sCRRN246 replied to ConstantLearner2010's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Here's my take: I've been employed in both capacities. I took a four week CNA course (no phlebotomy or EKG training) and after passing my state certification test, got a job as a PCT at a major...

    How not to get ****** at clinical?

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

    I don't know if it is possible to not get ****** off in a situation like that! Even if the bloody hemovac was not in the garbage, I'd have a problem with being made to dig through trash. Was there...

    I'm in Florida and I know of at least 4 people who took the NCLEX here within the last month or so and the PVT worked for them,

    30+ page care plans

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

    Ok that makes sense. We have to include med analysis papers also, but they are counted separately from the actual care plan. In the care plan itself, we just have to mention the drug as a...

    "Oh, you're a guy? I can't hire you"

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

    Being an at-will employment state doesn't trump federal law. Employers can terminate for anything or nothing at all...with the exception of unlawful discrimination (i.e, sex, gender, etc.). "Example:...

    "Oh, you're a guy? I can't hire you"

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

    I'm sorry, how is it not discrimination? The OP was blatantly told that he couldn't be hired because he was male. There's a federal law against that... "Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 is a...

    How do you email a thank you letter?

    Boog'sCRRN246 replied to chiuli's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Can you call and ask for the e-mail address? Do you happen to have the woman's business card? Sometimes e-mail addresses are printed on there. There's one more thing you could do...and bear with me,...

    Can you do nursing school with severe fatigue and without a car?

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

    I'm pretty sure my previous response stated that an ADN program, at the very least, should be doable for you, in terms of clinicals. And, yes, people carpool if needed. I think others responded the...

    Silly question. Urine output per hour?

    Boog'sCRRN246 replied to anonymous1919's topic in General Students

    We were told in the beginning of our nursing program that 30mL/hr was the cut off for adequate, but that's in an otherwise healthy person. If you really want to make sure the kidneys are perfused...

    Can you do nursing school with severe fatigue and without a car?

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

    I'm in an ADN program and our clinicals are ONE day per week with lecture two days per week. An ADN program may be a doable option for you b/c once you graduate with an ADN, anything beyond that can...

    OHS meaning?

    S/P actually stands for "status post"...so the patient is status post OHS. Not sure what OHS is though. What unit was the patient

    Infection control question fundamentals

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

    Per the question, an enteric micro-organism still needs to be ruled out, so you can't say for certain that one does not exist. Plus, it's pretty uncomfortable for both parties to have to share a room...
