    Got an offer at a rehab, is this typical salary? What did you accept?

    Boog'sCRRN246 replied to MsNewbee's topic in Rehabilitation

    Exit Interview. Honest or not?

    Boog'sCRRN246 replied to sungrl01's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Is this particular charge nurse the reason you are leaving or is it something else? If she is the reason, mention it objectively, but don't go into the realm of snark and

    Getting a job with a juvie record

    Boog'sCRRN246 replied to kimmiocean12's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    Florida background checks generally look for felony charges involving drugs and/or assault/battery. Those are the big ones that will keep you from getting a

    Resident falls everyday

    Boog'sCRRN246 replied to angelsite2850's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Is he cognitively intact? I ask because maybe he could have home health nursing/therapy visits set up and a PT could teach him HOW to fall (I know that sounds absurd, but it's a thing, I promise), so...

    Boog'sCRRN246 replied to Sully64's topic in General Nursing

    Where I work, we get an annual cost of living adjustment, in addition to an annual merit increase that is based on a yearly evaluation done by the employee's supervisor. The merit increase can be...

    CNA to patient ratio

    Boog'sCRRN246 replied to ashleed's topic in Rehabilitation

    That sounds about right for my rehab unit, when CNAs are actually provided on night shift. The rest of the hospital is a different story and tends to be staffed better, as far as CNA to patient ratio....

    Is a Rehab Nurse similar to an Occupational Therapist?

    Boog'sCRRN246 replied to shinybluedolphinn's topic in Rehabilitation

    How do you figure being an OT is a "physically easy job"? Sure, there are patients who are less impaired than others, but you'll still encounter patients who require total assist for bathing,...

    Do I aspirate too violently?

    Boog'sCRRN246 replied to lorelei13's topic in General Nursing

    Think about this from the patient's perspective - you're giving them an IM injection, which is uncomfortable all by itself, but then you're digging around for an additional 15-30 seconds because, for...

    stages of grief

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

    I'd say the patient has accepted his impeding death. If he was pushing away his meal and saying things like "doesn't matter if i eat or not, i'm going to die anyway," i might think he was in the...

    Holy ***, is this really what people are worrying about before taking NCLEX now? It used to be about what material would be on the exam and what you needed to brush up on before taking the exam. Now,...

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

    Jury Duty

    Boog'sCRRN246 replied to lpn954's topic in General Nursing

    Ugh, jury duty. "Financial hardship" isn't an option on the jury summons in my county. If it was, nobody would ever show up when summoned. Last time I was called, my group was dismissed at 10am, but...

    Being Treated Poorly by an RN

    Boog'sCRRN246 replied to msnikki05's topic in General Students

    First thing, I didn't read in any previous post where anyone told you to do something whether it's your job or not, just because a nurse told you to do it. Second thing, the RN wasn't asking you to...
