    did your job give you a holiday gift??

    Boog'sCRRN246 replied to ohmeowzer RN's topic in General Nursing

    We got a catered holiday luncheon, $15 Publix gift card, and I, personally, got a $25 holiday bonus in my last check. If I worked directly for a physician, the bonus amount would be up to him/her; the...

    nasal then oral suctioning

    Boog'sCRRN246 replied to chele44's topic in General Nursing

    I was taught nasopharyngeal suctioning as a sterile procedure (don't ask, my school is very anal about things). Also taught to suction nasally first, then orally...and if you're cleaning the suction...

    My Crazy Study Habit

    Boog'sCRRN246 replied to rosedale4u's topic in General Nursing

    I'm the same way. When I study, I have to be doing something else also. I do the laundry, clean, look at Facebook, etc. It's actually pretty effective for me. I've always done this and somehow it...

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

    I'm in Florida also. There is a girl in my Transition program who started in the generic RN program, got all the way to the end, and failed. Our school (and state) allowed her to sit for the NCLEX-PN...

    RN Student Challenge LPN Boards

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

    It all depends on your school. Some allow students to apply for and take the NCLEX-PN, others don't. They are the ones who provide the BON in your state with verification that you have completed the...

    Moral of the Story

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

    I did the same thing in Pharm. It was a 10-point assignment that was approx. 1% of my final grade. I ended up with a 91.5...half a point away from an A (my school doesn't round). Lesson learned! I...

    Sick Of Co-workers Calling In ALL the Time

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

    "Most people can't afford to just not come to work. I really doubt that your co-workers are calling in just to take advantage of you." My current job gives employees the option of either not being...

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

    So my first semester in college, fresh out of high school, I did horribly, horribly bad. GPA was so bad, I got kicked out of school, no academic warning or anything. I had the option of starting at...

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

    The transition program I am in accepts RTs, rad techs, and CVT's, in addition to the usual LPNs and paramedics. We have a few of each, but the majority of the class is either a LPN or

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

    Classes passed with C's at my school can't be repeated. Grade forgiveness only applies for D's and F's. I think you should really look into a LPN program. Definitely look for a technical/vocational...

    Ahhh I just took mine yesterday. We had 17 skills (of which 3 would be chosen at random) that we had to know and be prepared to perform in front of an instructor. I felt so confident going in. I did...

    ER nurses! Do you have this policy in your hospital?

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

    Why haven't you made up the clinicals prior to this? I'm pretty sure each state has mandatory clinical hours that have to be completed in order to graduate, no matter what the student's grades may be....

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

    I'm not sure how it is at your school, but at my school, the pre-reqs for nursing and RT are the same, with the exception of pharmacology. Do you have the pre-reqs for RT finished already? If so, and...

    Boog'sCRRN246 replied to mscgirl09's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think fairness has anything to do with it. She doesn't have to stop working if she doesn't want to. Being a lawyer, he's should appreciate all the time and effort she put forth to get where...
