    Help with a Case Study Question

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

    I'm going to go out on a limb here and say it's not DKA or diabetes-related. Diarrhea, bone/joint pain, and paresthesia aren't common manifestations of DKA. Paresthesia can occur with...

    Does your school allow you to keep your tests?

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

    "Why should Nursing classes be any different than any other subject." Nursing classes are different b/c there is an urgency and desperation to get through for some people. The same urgency and...

    Does your school allow you to keep your tests?

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

    We don't get to keep our tests...we don't even have test reviews. We can schedule an appt to go over our test if we didn't do well, but even then we don't get to touch the test. The instructor gives...

    I'm pretty sure she did not do the TB test right

    Boog'sCRRN246 replied to happy2learn's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    "What if there is no mark tomorrow when I get it read?" It's really a good thing if there's no mark when you get it read. Whenever I have mine read, it's like nothing was ever

    Uncooperative Patients

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

    Sometimes you just have to work on your patient's schedule and not yours. Who would you get in trouble with? They may not feel up to bathing and ambulating right at that moment, but sometimes if you...

    BSM (not BSN) and RN Degree v.s. CNM

    Boog'sCRRN246 replied to AshleyAnn123's topic in General Nursing

    I don't believe I've ever heard of a BSM or ASM, at least not to function in the same capacity as the midwives I'm used to. All the programs I've researched, such as ECU, UF, Columbia, Frontier, etc.,...

    Does anyone work full time AND go to NS?

    Boog'sCRRN246 replied to powerbeth22's topic in General Students

    I'm close to full-time. I work around 35 hours a week these days and my schedule is also flexible (it was less, but things have picked up). School consumes about 20 hours per week after class,...

    "I'm living a sheltered life in Home Health-- please don't tell me nurses wear cleavage showing scrub tops and supertight white scrub pants with a thong showing?!?!" Oh yes...yes they do.

    Hitting the wall.

    Boog'sCRRN246 replied to dudette10's topic in General Students

    I know where you're coming from! I hit my Wall a few weeks ago. I'm a LPN in an accelerated transition program (meaning we've done peds, OB, and psych, each covered in four weeks with 3 weeks of...

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

    Waaaay off topic, but beauty is far from universal, hence the phrase "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder". What's attractive to me, may not be attractive to

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

    I don't know that they are trying to get rid of you. I remember my very first job after finishing CNA school. It was at a major teaching hospital on nights on a 47-bed Neuro stepdown unit and I had NO...

    charting resting with eyes closed vs "asleep"

    Boog'sCRRN246 replied to smartnurse1982's topic in General Nursing

    I also learned to chart "resting with eyes closed" as you can't be entirely sure that the patient is actually asleep, but I don't know that I would call it unprofessional if a nurse charted "patient...

    All classroom, no lab???

    Boog'sCRRN246 replied to dee78's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    My LPN program was 5 days a week. Two days were theory, three days were clinicals. In my experience, there simply wasn't enough time on theory days for us to go into the lab. Don't get me wrong, we...

    calculation question

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

    I think you're trying to make it harder than it really is. It's just dimensional analysis from what I can see... 100units/250cc = 10units/X cc X=25cc or 25cc/hr for your flow rate...every 25cc of...

    Dry, Cracked Hands

    Boog'sCRRN246 replied to jackieh1791's topic in General Nursing

    I use hand cream from L'Occitane. It's 20% shea butter, so it's very very rich, and you only have to use a small amount. A little on the expensive side (about $27 for a 150mL tube), but one of those...

    I want my money for my book!

    Next time he "reminds" you to keep your book, say "Why? Do you want to buy it when I'm done?" LOL problem

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

    If you're school provided a list of requirements before classes start, begin working on those. Like immunizations, medical records, physicals, CPR class...it takes time to gather all of that and you...

    Between a Rock and a Hard Place!

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

    I know in my area, I've very rarely seen a position listed specifically as "new grad", so new grads typically just apply for RN or LPN positions. That's what I did when I was applying before finishing...

    Best scrubs for pear shaped women?

    Boog'sCRRN246 replied to tigerlily345's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I just started wearing Body by Cherokee scrubs. The pants are more straight leg than flare (I think flare leg looks funny on pear shaped bodies), and they have elastic back with a drawstring in the...

    Mental Health Clinical/Class

    Reading about the conditions pales in comparison to actually seeing them manifested in patients. I just finished my Mental Health rotation. We heard many persecutory delusions (mainly revolving around...
