    Scrubs for us big-chested gals?!

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

    Try looking for a top that has an empire waist (seaming right under the bust). It emphasizes the smallest part of your waist, but doesn't have tons of extra material to billow out. Tops that tie in...

    What to put on resume for newbies?

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

    Do you have any experience in customer service/retail-type positions? If so, I would include those on my resume, as the healthcare field is becoming heavily reliant on customer

    Throw it on the floor?!

    Boog'sCRRN246 replied to justme01's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    When I was a CNA/PCT, each garbage can had a roll at the bottom...like underneath the bag that was being used. So when the garbage was changed, poof, there was a roll of garbage bags waiting. And if...

    LPN-yes or no?

    Boog'sCRRN246 replied to Alindsay2's topic in Florida Nursing

    In the Tampa area, it's becoming less common for LPNs to work in hospitals. They most commonly work in LTC, outpatient clinics, home health, etc. You may work 12 hour shifts as a LPN, but it's more...

    Nursing School Competition

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

    It's a long weird story. In short, a woman in my class got access to an old test bank. A test bank that wasn't still being used by my instructors, but a test bank, nonetheless. She was sharing this...

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

    "the first girl didn't want to tell anyone else" I'd be really wary of where she got her information from then. If it's innocent, and just things that she made note of along the way in class, fine....

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

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

    Test Question

    Boog'sCRRN246 replied to tiffanyleigh0212's topic in General Students

    Was that the entire question? If so, it's a really crappy one. It doesn't include the patient's height, age, or gender. I mean, generally, an adult with a BMI of 17 is considered underweight, but if...

    nursing student discouraged

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

    I'm also a LPN approaching my last term of RN school. I've found that with clinicals, if you tell the nurse you are with what you are able to do, and what is expected of you by your instructor, they...

    When is it OK to delegate to a CNA?

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

    You can delegate to CNAs what is in their scope of practice and job description (which, obviously, assisting with ADLs is going to be in both). So, you should become familiar with CNA scopes of...
