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

    How do LVN's train to become Case Managers?

    Boog'sCRRN246 replied to nursekimmi's topic in Case Management

    LPN-RN Route, How many medications will you be studying?

    Boog'sCRRN246 replied to lina.561's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I'm not a LPN student at the moment, however I was one about 2 years ago. There wasn't a certain amount of medication that was covered. It was more about classes of medications, with each class having...

    MRSA, Is this true?

    Boog'sCRRN246 replied to cute2's topic in General Nursing

    I tend to agree with the statement, but these days you don't even need to be doing direct patient care to acquire MRSA. You can acquire MRSA at the gym or anywhere else in the community for that...

    is rape reportable?

    Boog'sCRRN246 replied to Holly.G's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah it definitely shouldn't be kept confidential. Each state has rape protocol that is to be followed by the ED and law enforcement. Photographs do require consent unless the victim is under age 18...

    Nurse Mates Sneakers?

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

    I recently bought the Bryar by NurseMates. It's not a sneaker, but it's very comfortable. My previous experience with NurseMates was awful - I don't have a wide foot, but for some reason NurseMates...

    Advice for my friend re: GPA

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

    Rules of the Dr.office

    Boog'sCRRN246 replied to prowlingMA's topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    "11. TURN OFF YOUR @#%$ CELL PHONE." My biggest pet peeve. You're on the phone in the waiting area, on the phone being walked back to a room, on the phone in the exam room...and then you want to give...

    Student applying to positions that state "experience preferred"

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

    It couldn't hurt to apply. I applied to a major teaching hospital in my area right out of CNA school and was hired as a PCT with no experience other than clinicals. To say I learned a lot is an...

    About Bedbaths and Stool

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

    I would use disposable wipes, even if I was in the middle of a bed bath. I'd just have them with me, in addition to washcloths. And I'd use more than two washcloths for a bed

    APA format

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

    I believe black and blue ink are acceptable. Then again, it depends on your instructor. I'd turn in a paper in blue ink and include a disclaimer that I'm a poor nursing student and can't afford a...

    Embarrassed for Having Good Grades?

    Boog'sCRRN246 replied to •M♥J•'s topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Maybe you could talk to him and tell him that you prefer your test be handed back in a more discreet manor. I haven't gotten a test back in a long time (grades are posted online), but I do remember...

    Embarrassed for Having Good Grades?

    Boog'sCRRN246 replied to •M♥J•'s topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Does your teacher announce who got A's or are these people seeing your grade on your test? When you get your test back, look at your grade then put your test face down on your desk. If anyone asks,...

    Nurses who can't spell

    Boog'sCRRN246 replied to alex08's topic in General Students

    I can't even remember the last time I read a complete sentence in the nurse's notes on a patient's chart. Everything is abbreviated, shorthand, symbols, or a combination thereof. As long the previous...

    Sooner Or Later

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

    I'm a LPN in the Transition program at PSC, so I didn't have to take Intro to Nursing, but I've heard from the paramedics that the 16 week class is horribly drawn out and boring. Take the 6 week class...

    Bizzare medical question

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

    That's probably the same health book that says swallowed gum stays in your GI tract for seven years. Maybe they were just trying to scare high school kids to keep them from having

    Our instructors demonstrate procedures once in class, then it's up to us whether we practice them with our guides or not. They are available to help though. Has anyone approached them about this? It's...
