    Boog'sCRRN246 replied to josebeltran88's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    "The last two days. I fed the patients and waited in the car for lunch to start, and feed them again. We weren't allowed to do anything else." What was everyone else doing while you were in your car??...

    Love Class...Hate Clinicals! Help!

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

    Eventually you'll get to do more in clinicals. Everyone starts with the basics before being able to move on. But just b/c you've moved on to more advanced skills, doesn't mean the basics are below...

    How many hours do you work?

    Boog'sCRRN246 replied to jensmomrn11's topic in LPN to RN

    I work 30hrs/week in addition to 20hrs/week of class, clinical, and lab time. The way I see it, in nursing school you can either adjust your schedule accordingly or your grades can take the

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

    Peytonsmom, That's the same hideous uniform I had to wear for LPN clinicals! With horrid tapered pants. And add some maroon trim.

    What color are your school uniforms?

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

    Hospitals cracking down on who can enter

    Boog'sCRRN246 replied to kbm318's topic in General Nursing

    medication administration checks

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

    You definitely check the MD's order first. Then you check the MAR against the order to make sure it's been transcribed correctly. Then after you've gone to the med room, and you're pulling meds, you...

    Colleges spitting out new nurse without any training?

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

    I know when I went through LPN school, clinicals were a joke. The nurses on the units we went to really were not very receptive to us. It was a good day if we got to pass some PO meds. Other than...

    Text Messaging During Lecture

    Boog'sCRRN246 replied to SRK77's topic in General Students

    I don't have a problem with people texting during class; if I notice them, it's my problem for letting my eyes wander from the task at hand. I do get annoyed at work when I am doing a work-up on a...

    Is this normal for an ASN program??

    Boog'sCRRN246 replied to itsnever2L8's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Sounds about right. I've seen courses that are anywhere from 6-12 credits per class. Your clinicals should be counted as credit hours

    1st clinical day!

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

    For me, I took Pharm in LPN school. It was two parts. Obviously, I had to take Pharm again for the LPN-RN transition b/c LPN pharm doesn't teach IV pushes and that sort of thing (I'm in Florida). At...

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

    Are you taking Pharm with your program or did you take it prior to starting your program? I think the reason most programs wait until later semesters to have students passing meds is so the students...
