    Math Help Please.

    Boog'sCRRN246 replied to Sarahjohnson39's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    This is off-topic, but I would really like to know what school/state/country allows a student to not take ANY math class beyond ninth grade and beyond geometry. And also what nursing program requires...

    Dying of starvation

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

    Sounds like aspiration is definitely the problem. Her risk of aspirating is just too high to even attempt sips of water. Even aspiration of water can cause much bigger problems if the mouth isn't...

    Are there 10 hr shifts in Nursing??

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

    My unit (inpatient rehab) used to have 10-hour shifts, but when the hours didn't mesh well with floating (rehab nurses getting off at 1700 when the next nurse didn't come in until 1900), they were...

    Washing Scrubs NUNS KS

    Boog'sCRRN246 replied to Mishrenee77's topic in General Nursing

    "The bugs are getting worse and worse so no one can be to careful." The bugs are getting seemingly worse and worse because people are completely overzealous when it comes to disinfection. A little...

    Soma or Enclosure Beds... Cruel or not?

    Boog'sCRRN246 replied to Paws2people's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    The recall you read about was specifically for the Vail Products company. Other companies manufacture similar beds, such as Posey and Soma. Posey's beds have an extremely thin mattress that I assume...

    Marijuana and nursing

    Boog'sCRRN246 replied to swimmer333's topic in General Nursing

    Unless I missed a huge breaking news story, marijuana has not been legalized (for medical use or otherwise) in Florida, so I'm not sure why you are even questioning this. I mean, you can do what you...

    Everything is our responsibility. Rant.

    Boog'sCRRN246 replied to dudette10's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Half the time, the patient isn't even in our facility! They're at another hospital in a different city

    I just don't understand

    Boog'sCRRN246 replied to Jinx322's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Good lord, you've only been licensed for eight days! Give it some time before you start freaking out. Don't limit yourself to only applying at hospitals. I know hospitals are a new grad's holy grail,...

    Boog'sCRRN246 replied to Charlie92's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    If you applied online and had to create an account with a log-in and password, you can usually check the status of your application. It should tell you if it's still being considered and, if not, it...

    Difficult diabetic resident

    Boog'sCRRN246 replied to Chabu213's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Excuse my bluntness, but I'm a Rehab nurse and am all about promoting independence :) You said this is an assisted living facility, which means the residents are able to live somewhat independently....

    No lunch for lunch break?

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

    Take management and front office staff out of the equation. When they take their lunch break and where they go or don't go to get lunch is irrelevant to your position. I'm really surprised everyone...

    Alternatives for students that fail out of traditional nursing schools

    Boog'sCRRN246 replied to sampson44's topic in General Students

    If a student fails at a traditional nursing school (and when you say 'fail', I'm assuming you mean 'did not pass', 'got a F', etc), they actually aren't eligible to enroll at a school like Excelsior,...

    Last name on ID badge?

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

    A menial task (job, chore, etc.) is anything that takes very little training, skill, or talent. No one was being judged or thought of as 'less human'. Fast food jobs and entry-level retail positions...

    Last name on ID badge?

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

    My hospital just merged with a larger health system in the area and we're not even allowed to have our credentials on our badges anymore, let alone last names. The only way a visitor can tell I am a...

    Do you have a nursing specialty you know you want to pursue?

    CRRN is a Certified Rehabilitation RN. Pretty sure the poster meant CCRN, as CRRN won't help much with becoming a

    Fired for med error

    Boog'sCRRN246 replied to KJAKE's topic in Patient Medications

    I think it all depends on the culture of any future places of employment. Where I work, med errors are always, always, always seen as opportunities for education and do not result in punitive actions....

    New to Rehab Nursing

    Boog'sCRRN246 replied to RNikkiF's topic in Rehabilitation

    Please don't expect inpatient rehab to be a floor with a SLOWER pace. You will not be bored and you will not lose your skills. Inpatient rehab is inpatient for a reason - ideally, the patients are...

    Quitting my job

    Boog'sCRRN246 replied to studentnurse9806's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I was on the float team at a clinic as a new grad. It was a huge clinic and very overwhelming at first. What helped was a binder that the clinic issued each float nurse. It was divided by specialty...

    Physical Rehab for new grad

    Boog'sCRRN246 replied to mwc1230's topic in Rehabilitation

    What kind of experience are you worried about not getting per se? The acuity for inpatient rehab patients is going up, which means our patients are coming to us sicker and sicker. Granted we don't...

    How do you do double check insulin in an isolation room and scanning?

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

    At my facility, each insulin vial has its own little booklet of bar code stickers that corresponds with the bar code on the vial. We draw up, verify dose, and co-sign in the med room, then place the...
