    Gave experimental UK drugs

    Boog'sCRRN246 replied to *Posh*'s topic in Patient Medications

    It seems like it's a little too easy to administer home meds where you work. At my facility, in order for us to give home meds, the physician has to write an order stating it's okay to continue...

    Accepted as an ALTERNATE!!! Should I be excited?

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

    I was selected as an alternate for my LPN-RN program. Before i got excited, the first thing I did was call and find out what number I was on the alternate list. Turns out I was #2, so within three...

    Rehab Nursing advice please...not a real nurse?

    Boog'sCRRN246 replied to leolomb's topic in Rehabilitation

    Sigh...I get so tired of hearing people's opinions on who is a REAL nurse and where REAL nurses work. If you're a RN (or LPN) and the word 'nurse' is part of your title, then doesn't that constitute...

    Refusing Patients' Requests: Can it be done?

    Boog'sCRRN246 replied to George4life's topic in General Nursing

    You can't ignore them, but you can make it clear to the patient that if they are perfectly capable of doing for themselves, that is what needs to be done. I work in Rehab and the majority of patients...

    Time Frame for Filing Incident Reports?

    Boog'sCRRN246 replied to 4Karrie2's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    This probably won't help you, but at my facility, incident reports have to be filed within 72 hours. I'm fairly certain incident reporting forms and time frames for submitting them vary by

    Digital/computerized charting...

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

    I'm not familiar with EPIC, but most of the other computerized charting systems I've used have had the usual boxes to check, but also included areas where free text could be entered if the nurse felt...

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

    I think DolceVita is referring to the students who take the time to type out entire case studies, along with the questions that need answers, and instead of showing any kind of thought process, just...

    $130 tote bag for class

    Boog'sCRRN246 replied to mom2a1c2's topic in Arizona Nursing

    It could be a tote bag filled with stuff to practice with in lab, like catheters, trach suction kits, sterile water,

    Take LPN board halfway through nursing school?

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

    It's up to your program director as to whether they'll sign off for you to take the PN boards. Your state BON may allow it, but ultimately, it's up to your program director since they are required to...

    IV Sites

    Boog'sCRRN246 replied to lindylou88's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I didn't know there was a formal list. We put them wherever we can find a decent vein. I guess you can add "hand r/l" to your list...in babies I've also seen IVs in the scalp and

    colace consistency?

    Boog'sCRRN246 replied to nursingstudent_2012's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Most of the colace I've given looks like this: http://www.drug3k.com/img2/colace_12089_4_(big)_.jpg Or it comes in liquid doses...but I've never thought it to be

    With-holding resuscitation on pt in the absense of a signed DNR order form? What?!

    Boog'sCRRN246 replied to Cat_RN's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I'm in Florida and the DNR forms we have in our charts aren't yellow; they're either a form that's filled out and signed by the MD or it's written on a T.O. sheet (after the order has been heard and...

    Why are most nurses hoarders?

    Boog'sCRRN246 replied to CapeCodMermaid's topic in LTC: Directors, Assistant

    LOL...even EMR has a 'print' capability. I worked at a outpatient clinic that utilized EMR, yet almost everything put into it had to have a copy printed off and kept in a file

    Policy on WOWs

    Boog'sCRRN246 replied to UnionRN2's topic in General Nursing

    We use WOWs for when giving meds, but ours also come in a handheld version for isolation rooms. We just stick the handheld in a bag and use a thermometer probe cover as a

    Why do some Medstudents love to belittle nurses?

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

    People can think and say whatever they want - it doesn't make their opinions the truth. If they were actual physicians running around treating nurses like crap and starting Facebook wars (which, at...

    Why do some Medstudents love to belittle nurses?

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

    You going to attempt to derail someone's academic career over some stupid comments posted on Facebook? You've already blocked them, why not just move on? You're going to encounter people like this for...

    All Nurses/Cna's in Ortho

    Boog'sCRRN246 replied to mejajo08's topic in General Nursing

    As a CNA on an ortho unit, you are going to be busting your *** for the majority of a 12 hour shift. Sorry to sound so crude lol...You'll have patients who are gung-ho to get back to a similar level...

    breast/thorax validation

    They haven't provided a demonstration for your class? I would think it would be kind of hard to validate on something that wasn't taught Do you have a nursing skills book? At the very least, that...

    CNAs doing things not under licensure?

    Boog'sCRRN246 replied to student29349's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Most CNAs won't blatantly disregard their scope of practice by d/c'ing IVs and Foleys. More than likely they've received extra training through the facility and are more than capable of performing...

    Boog'sCRRN246 replied to ~Mi Vida Loca~RN's topic in General Students

    If this many people are reading into and assuming things about a simple question, no wonder there's so many threads asking for advice about how to pass nursing school exams. Cardinal rule #1: "Don't...
