    Vent!! Why do families think nurses know all about insurance coverage?

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

    That is so very irritating when patients assume you have every insurance company and their individual benefits memorized. I work with insurance companies daily and I still have to consult a reference...

    Boog'sCRRN246 replied to showbizrn's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    "My tuition is paying for Professor/Instructor-led lectures NOT Student presentations!" We did several student presentations in school and everytime I heard this same statement. Who did it come from?...

    Anyone here after struggling with an RN program?

    Boog'sCRRN246 replied to Laura77598's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    If anything, a PN program will have a faster pace than a RN program. Most are 4-5 days a week and the amount of material covered is

    I need help making a job decision....I'm a nursing student

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

    Would you be able to handle a two-hour commute in addition to your school responsibilities? You never know, if you take the position at the closer hospital, nurses will find out you are a nursing...

    Looking for IV Certification and phlebotomy course in Tampa Bay

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

    Try the area hospitals also. And if you don't absolutely have to be certified in order to get the job, wait until after and see if your employer will reimburse you. At my clinic, you can be hired for...

    ICU Interviews do's and oh no she did not's!!

    Boog'sCRRN246 replied to lpn2crna1day's topic in CCU, Coronary, Cardiac

    Training, orienting, and employing someone costs a lot of money and when a potential employee says in an interview that their goal is to be a CRNA, well, i think its safe for them to assume that you...

    dress to an interview?

    Boog'sCRRN246 replied to Acosmo27's topic in Nursing Career

    Also, I wouldn't have a problem wearing black. You can add color with your accessories so it won't look so funerial. Banana Republic has really nice work appropriate stuff too. I was just looking...

    Boog'sCRRN246 replied to Acosmo27's topic in Nursing Career

    Well that is really cute! It's borderline...I'm sure that model is 6'2 and that is why it looks shorter, but I would go with something more knee length, maybe slighty below the

    $100,000 in student loan debt?

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

    You can experience dorm life and frat parties without saddling yourself with years worth of debt though. I can't imagine being 40, still paying off my education...but, hey, you got to go to some frat...

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

    "However, choosing to further your education even if going in debt to do it offers a financial benefit." Just a question...how is being in a debt ever a financial benefit? Sure, getting that degree...

    $100,000 in student loan debt?

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

    I'm only 26, but my mother told me of a time when things were bought AND paid for at the same time. Everything wasn't financed like it is right now. People used to do crazy things, like actually save...

    math keeping students from graduating

    Boog'sCRRN246 replied to leader357's topic in LPN to RN

    What kind of math are they teaching that you think you will "never use"? All the math I learned in my Pharmacology course is used almost on a daily

    Boog'sCRRN246 replied to RedSox33RN's topic in Emergency

    I don't understand how parents can put the responsibilty of teaching such sensitive subject matter on someone other than themselves. In the area where I live, it seems to me like children are having...

    LPN Gets No Respect

    Boog'sCRRN246 replied to Angela.RN2B's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Ugh, how demeaning. Personally, I have never been around people who view LPNs in that way. I do know that the attitude exists, it has just never been aimed at me, a LPN. First of all, no one "sticks"...

    I've worked Ortho and Neuro...they were housed on different units though. I have to agree that the combination of the two on one unit will be a huge challenge. The neuro unit I worked on had patients...

    Question on GPA

    Boog'sCRRN246 replied to mommync3's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    To me, it's just odd that they are even using your high school GPA at all. The programs I am familiar with base their decision on GPA in college pre-req classes, usually about 8-10 classes in all....
