    Taking NCLEX without studying-Wanting honest opinions

    Boog'sCRRN246 replied to mommy.19's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    The NCLEX-PN is totally do-able without studying, especially if you are in a BSN program. If you have a solid knowledge of lab values and a somewhat decent grasp of pharmacology, you will

    How to Avoid certain teachers?

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

    Exactly! It doesn't seem to be a very efficient way to teach a subject. Maybe you will end up having the same teacher for both. Good

    How to Avoid certain teachers?

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

    At my school, the person who taught lecture also taught lab. I think it's kind of weird to have two seperate teachers, but that's just

    I know the transition program at PCC is one day a week for class and one day a week for clinicals. Class time is either 8-4 or 1-7. There is also mandatory lab time (2 hours minimum per week)....

    Frustrated and considering a career change

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

    It doesn't bother me when nurses complain about hours/work environment/etc....when they've actually WORKED more than a few weeks in the position. Everything is rocky starting out as a new nurse, and...

    Frustrated and considering a career change

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

    "It is nurses like you that just reiterate my disdain for the profession." How can you have disdain for the profession after not even being employed in it consistently for the last year? This is not...

    Is this Normal? Need some perspective!

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

    I did med passes in clinicals with my instructor or the nurse right next to me. If I was to do them on my own during clinicals...I would've gotten written up at the very

    Is this Normal? Need some perspective!

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

    I'm going to assume since you have to repeat a med-surg course that you have not actually graduated from PN school. So you are working in LTC, functioning as a nurse, without a license to practice?...

    FAINTING...what made you drop?

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

    The C-section observation got me too. Maybe it's just because I have one, but the sight of the uterus, pink and glistening, made me woozy. The MD was tugging on it and shifting it around...a sudden...

    Chest piece- single or double sided?

    Boog'sCRRN246 replied to Scooter5's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I have both of those stethescopes. I used the Classic II SE in clinicals and I never rotated the bell. I found I could hear everything well enough w/o rotating it. Now I just use my Master Classic II,...

    question for those of you who take melatonin

    Boog'sCRRN246 replied to Charlotte205's topic in General Nursing

    I used to take melatonin. Since natural melatonin production is affected by light, it would be best if the room you sleep in has heavy window coverings. I used to take mine while I was getting ready...

    What do you wash your scrubs with?

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

    I use Dreft and color-safe bleach alternative. I only use hot water on my all-white scrubs b/c hot water just destroys the fabric of my colored scrubs after a

    What is the difference between Medical Assistant and CNA?

    Boog'sCRRN246 replied to girl8582's topic in General Nursing

    If you're going to continue on to LPN or RN, it's extremely helpful to become a CNA first. Also, many nursing schools are now requiring that you become a CNA before you are even able to apply to their...

    importance of interview in getting new grad RN job??

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

    Isn't the point of an interview to decide who gets the job? If they weren't important, there wouldn't be interviews. I'm not the greatest at selling myself during an interview. I do ask a lot of...

    Question about LPN license in Delaware

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

    It depends on your school. Some schools will let you sit for the NCLEX-PN after a certain amount of time and others won't. The school has to submit paperwork to your state BON certifying that you have...

    Medical Assistant soon to be LPN

    Boog'sCRRN246 replied to meandrog02's topic in General Nursing

    MAs will never replace LPNs. They are hired more often in medical offices where LPNs and MAs perform very similar tasks because (and don't attack me for this) they are more cost effective than actual...

    Work Injury

    Boog'sCRRN246 replied to 2BSure's topic in General Nursing

    If you need any more medical care in regards to this particular injury, there is definitely a point in reporting it. Your employer will be responsible for covering the cost rather than you paying out...
