  1. Job interview that made you want to run?

    boushie87 replied to Glenna, LPN's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Sorry, should have specified that a nursing job is a nursing job. Yes, no two jobs are exact but I think you can get the point I was making. Many nurses are unable to find jobs. It's a bit silly to...

  2. Job interview that made you want to run?

    boushie87 replied to Glenna, LPN's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    A job is a job. Don't be too picky :) Doesn't seem like you got a great vibe but I can't really pick out why other than issues you have with the labels of "skilled nursing" and the black uniform...

  3. i cursed somebody at work, somebody overheard and filed a complaint. what can i do?

    boushie87 replied to willowRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Who would she even be apologizing to? She did not say it to anyone specifically. She said it after she hung up. This other employee must be a real piece of work.. Good for you for owning up to it...

  4. Dayshifters - do you take a breakfast break as soon as you get to work?

    boushie87 replied to Snugglibumkins's topic in General Nursing

    That seems very odd to me. That someone would come to work and immediately take a break. Shouldn't you be assessing your patients? What exactly are you taking a break from? I think I would rather have...

  5. what units of chemistry needed in nursing?

    boushie87 replied to poodloo28's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Not that I have seen so far though I am still in nursing school. I mean some concepts must reach over but in reality you are not a chemist or a lab tech as a nurse :) So knowing the basics is enough.....

  6. Asking a patient if they're mentally retarded?

    boushie87 replied to missjustice's topic in General Nursing

    Any intellectual disabilities? Any problems learning or did they think they learned slower or different from other people? Just have to phrase it in a way they may understand. You may need to speak to...

  7. The reverse end of "my preceptor hates me"

    boushie87 replied to NickiLaughs's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I am currently a student and if someone pulled a chair next to mine to work I think I'd have the decency to ask "oh were you sitting here? Do you want me to move?" or something like that. To be...

  8. General Question about Salmonella

    boushie87 replied to spacecitygroover's topic in General Nursing

    Also depends on the virulence of the bacteria. There are many strains of salmonella. Each piece of chicken may have different # of bacteria but after a certain amount they will have similar symptoms....

  9. Does this make me an "RN snob"?

    boushie87 replied to BuckyBadgerRN's topic in General Nursing

    The Dr. I work for (an oral surgeon) is also an MD. He is a DDS, MD. So it just depends on their education as if they are DDS, DMD. DDS, MD

  10. I got in to nursing school! Now overwhelmed with stress

    boushie87 replied to such_sweet_sorrow's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It's doable. I am in the exact same position. When I am in school (my 2nd degree.. and I went to grad school for a yr too) I work PT (like 15 or less hrs) and when I'm on break like the summer I work...

  11. Flu Vac, should it be mandatory

    boushie87 replied to hagler2011's topic in General Nursing

    Are you really a nurse that doesn't believe in vaccines? Why

  12. I have your meds, please take them:)

    boushie87 replied to makes needs known's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think this is a case where she forgot to do something. You go in the pt room to give pills. Unless she has some sort of memory loss or some issue going on, she purposefully left the pills with...

  13. Am I a victim of discrimination or being too sensitive?

    boushie87 replied to TheFloorisCold's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not sure if the label discrimination is correct but these people are certainly being rude and disrespectful. To blatently point you out and ask your ethnicity? Then talk about "those people"?...

  14. Who does Dental anesthesia?

    boushie87 replied to dopemup's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    In the office I work we charge $365.00 for IV sedation and $125.00 for

  15. Any nurses out there with siblings who are doctors?

    boushie87 replied to digitiminimi's topic in General Nursing

    I have a biotech degree and was going for my masters in genetic counseling when I decided to get my BSN.. that was the general reaction from my family and friends. It hurt a lot. But enjoying what I'm...

  16. Is this professional?

    boushie87 replied to Jenni811's topic in General Nursing

    I would think this was odd and unprofessional too. Same as if she wore a hat or any other object inside that is meant for outside wear at her job as a professional. Not sure why everyone has their...

  17. Excelsior A & P Exam

    boushie87 posted a topic in Online Distance Learning

    Hello, I will be taking my A & P excelsior exam tomorrow. I haven't been doing great on my practice exams (only a little more than 50%) so I am nervous I won't get the "C" I need. I know the...

  18. Dr Oz and Aspirin

    boushie87 replied to carolmaccas66's topic in General Nursing

    I'm in my first semester of nursing school and three different professors (NPs and PhDs) have instructed give aspirin. If the clot that causes an MI, stroke, etc if platelet rich (which it usually is...

  19. What size scrub pants do you wear and what size jeans?

    boushie87 replied to wishfulthinking21059's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I am a 14 and similar body type (and inches of hips :)) At school a medium was waaaay too small and the large fit well on my thighs but are way too big around my waist :/ So maybe a large? Depends how...

  20. offended co worker

    boushie87 replied to frost99's topic in General Nursing

    Is he in middle school? Because i'm pretty sure if he had an issue he should have addressed that when you immediately asked him what was wrong. He obviously way over reacted immediately ior you...

  21. A&P 2 online suggestions needed... Anyone take it w/Darton?

    boushie87 replied to j464335's topic in General Nursing

    If you can't find a specific class maybe you could test out with the excelsior exam? (If your program would accept that) I found out 2 months before I started that I needed to take A & P prior to...

  22. RN's, how much did you borrow for school?

    boushie87 replied to steveogurule's topic in General Nursing

    Well. I already had a bachelor's degree previously which sent me up to 40k in loans.. then I went to grad school for a year which doubled that. Now I'm going for a BSN for 2.5 yrs.. so I would suspect...

  23. Whats the best school for me for nursing?

    boushie87 replied to abbuie's topic in General Nursing

    Most programs require you have a certain average.. If you were close but didn't make it what factors would make it different this time around? Not being mean just realistic. Being married now makes...

  24. Failing Nursing School

    boushie87 replied to STRUGGLINGRN STUDENT's topic in General Students

    Is there anyway you can go to part time? It seems like squishing more info/classes into a smaller amount of time would not be helpful. I don't think going the online route would be any easier. I took...

  25. Excelsior Anatomy & Physiology in 6 weeks of review?

    boushie87 replied to engkijo's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I have a BS in Biotechnology and I went to grad school for a yr for Genetic Counseling so I have a lot of developmental/basic bio (and a lot of molecular bio and chemistry) background. However I have...
