    LPN's WHO'S GOING FOR RN????

    Boog'sCRRN246 replied to Ericad85's topic in LPN to RN

    I'm a LPN currently in my first semester of a one year RN transition program. I'm not finding it to be too difficult at this point, but we are just expounding on material we've already been taught in...

    HTN on Patient Records

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

    Well, BP meds can cause hypotension. Usually they're held before it gets to that point. Like if the nurse feels the patient's pressure is getting too low, she can hold the med to prevent the pressure...

    Impaired gas exchange?

    Impaired gas exchange?

    Boog'sCRRN246 replied to newby09's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I'm just saying that the way I was taught, abnormal ABGs are necessary in order to use Impaired Gas Exchange as a nursing diagnosis. Drawing blood gases is the only way I know of to objectively show...

    Impaired gas exchange?

    Boog'sCRRN246 replied to newby09's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Hmmm...Well, if she suggested it then use it...but there's no objective data to support impaired gas exchange if ABGs weren't

    Impaired gas exchange?

    Boog'sCRRN246 replied to newby09's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Impaired Gas Exchange really should only be used if the patient has had ABGs drawn. Activity Intolerance would be a feasible nursing diagnosis since you said she became SOB with conversation,...

    Help on STD Question

    Boog'sCRRN246 replied to guest337992's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    D doesn't say that STDs are always transmitted via open sores, it says they can be transmitted that way, which is true. If I had to pick, I'd go with D. C doesn't appeal to me b/c it makes it seem...

    100k in debt after school!?

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

    This isn't very constructive but...I'd rather be on a 5 year waiting list than graduate with $100k in debt hanging over my head. And I don't know how likely it is that you will be making $70k/year as...

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

    My very first job as a CNA was at a teaching hospital in Tampa. They trained me in phlebotomy. EKGs weren't done by the CNAs, but by people who did nothing but EKGs all day long. The next hospital I...

    what can I expect on an Ortho/Neuro Floor?

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

    This is going to be a heavy floor as a CNA. I've worked both, as seperate units, can't imagine what it's like with both on one. In my experience, ortho was a little better b/c the patients weren't...
