    Question about Injections and who can give them

    Boog'sCRRN246 replied to CareteamRN70's topic in General Nursing

    "If the LPN does not have pharmacology certification they would not be able to give injections." I am so confused by this. I am a LPN, took and passed pharm in my program, but in my state pharmacology...

    confused as hell

    Boog'sCRRN246 replied to prettyindecent's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    You weren't approved for FMLA because you've only been employed with your company for one month. In order to be eligible for that you have to have worked, I believe, 1250 hours with the company, or...

    I graduated June 2008. I am starting my transition program Friday, so I have worked as a LPN for a little more than a year. At my school, the timing was off so I couldn't go right back even if I...

    dosage calculation

    Boog'sCRRN246 replied to LatinaRN978's topic in General Students

    "2.2lbs/1 kg = x/160lbs so that I have 2.2lbs on top on the right hand side and 160lbs on the bottom of the left hand side so I can cross of the lbs. So this gives me 2.2 % 160= and not 160 % 2.2...

    Boog'sCRRN246 replied to medstudentcutter's topic in Florida Nursing

    :icon_roll Again I will say, you must have failed out of this program or you would not be launching this tirade against it. None of their methods are new. Nursing requirements are legendary amongst...

    LPN progam and taking pre reqs for RN program??

    Boog'sCRRN246 replied to butterfly78's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    My LPN program was at a completely different school than where I took my RN pre-reqs, so my grades at either school had no influence on each other. If your LPN/RN programs are at the same school, you...

    Boog'sCRRN246 replied to Blackcat99's topic in Correctional

    I have my work address listed on my license, but my renewal information comes to my house. I honestly don't remember how I did that. I think when I applied to take the NCLEX, I had to list my home...

    I'm sorry but you have portrayed yourself as rather heartless in your statements re: cleaning patients as being horrible and disgusting. I, as well as many others, went into nursing in order to help...

    Will Florida inmates come to my home?

    Boog'sCRRN246 replied to Blackcat99's topic in Correctional

    Have the address of your workplace listed on there instead. That would be your "practice location"

    Boog'sCRRN246 replied to IHeartPeds87's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah driving with a suspended license is a misdemeanor traffic offense, unless it's suspended due to DUI, then it's a criminal offense where you can be sentenced for up to 10 days in jail. I only know...

    Help low GPA

    Boog'sCRRN246 replied to bellagirl76's topic in Florida Nursing

    I too "majored in social life" when I started college, so I've been working my butt off to being up a crappy GPA. It's still under 3.0, but I got accepted on my first try. Granted I'm doing a...

    Are there really hospitals that pay your tution in exchange for working there?

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

    Every hospital in my county does this. They have a partnership with my school; each hospital selects a certain number of students and pays for their tuition and books. It can be done for as little as...

    I don't even deal directly with patients or their families but I've recently had a spouse of a patient threaten to come to my place of work and HUNT me down. Over a misplaced piece of paper that I...

    Get a new alarm clock! One that's super loud and rolls off the night table so you have to get up and chase it around in order to turn it off. Hard to go back to bed after

    Can any Patient Care Techs tell me how much your training cost?

    Boog'sCRRN246 replied to Miwila's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    I took a four week CNA course, paid $500, and my first job was in a hospital in a PCT position. Anything extra I needed to learn was taught to me on the job. Definitely no need to spend that kind of...

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

    I would think any healthcare-related job would count as experience. I did a CNA course in 4 weeks...if you have the time before starting nursing school, I would look into it. Actually, in Florida you...

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

    Every LPN I know, including myself, has a vocational certificate. I think a certificate is more the norm for LPNs in the workplace than an associate's degree. Do you have prior healthcare experience?...
