    Students from a patient's point of view. Sort of.

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

    "I feel like I'm not as open with the doctor as I should be" This statement says it all. If you are sacrificing full disclosure with your doctor due to the presence of a student, obviously it could...

    Just wanting to vent .....

    Boog'sCRRN246 replied to kbm318's topic in General Students

    It's a mystery to me to me to this day as to where she got those things. I tell that story quite a bit and usually no one believes me at first, but, really, you just can't make something like that

    Just wanting to vent .....

    Boog'sCRRN246 replied to kbm318's topic in General Students

    I hate to say this, but sometimes clinically weak students slip through the cracks. I remember being in lab one day close to the end of LPN school; we were practicing some skill and someone asked this...

    Are online degrees 'legit'? Such as RN-BSN online? Is BSN really necessary? CONFUSED.

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

    I think you'll find that many, many reputable 'brick and mortar' schools offer BSN programs with coursework that is completely online. Just research the colleges and universities in your state and...

    They're Their and There

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

    Reality Check for Nursing Hopefuls

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

    Critical Thinking!!!!!! Whatever!!

    Boog'sCRRN246 replied to clandestine-approach's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    So students shouldn't be required to use critical thinking skills during school because it could be "dangerous"? When exactly should one start using critical thinking skills if not during school?...

    Critical Care in Nursing School

    Boog'sCRRN246 replied to anon695's topic in General Students

    When you take the NCLEX, you'll be thankful that your program gave such hard exams. My program was the same way right from the beginning; super hard exams (i.e, compared to school exams, NCLEX was...

    I got this wrong- minimum interval between MMR1and MMR2

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