  1. conscious pt terminal wean

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to taylynnfree's topic in MICU, SICU

    I REALLY doubt that the nurse was excited about the patient dying. REALLY doubt

  2. a very good book indeed

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Twoyearnurse's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Wow, your sister is some kind of

  3. Private duty lpn, rn supervisor??

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Frenchie10's topic in Private Duty

    Right, hence the need for each LPN to list an RN supervisor on their paperwork to be a provider for Medicaid. But there is not an RN in the home supervising their every

  4. Is your central supply room locked on the 11-7 shift?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Blackcat99's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    That's sad that the trust level is so low, even lower that nurses ARE perhaps stealing with necessitated the need for taking away the key. My facility has implemented these little "mini meetings" for...

  5. Private duty lpn, rn supervisor??

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Frenchie10's topic in Private Duty

    With an AGENCY, yes. But when the case is only covered by Medicaid, things are very

  6. Private duty lpn, rn supervisor??

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Frenchie10's topic in Private Duty

    Yes, a case could have all LPN's on it. The way the wording is when you're a provider for Badgercare is very vague. All LPN's have to have that RN supervisor, but the RN can be ANYONE with RN after...

  7. are private school more lenient on their admission requirements?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to mee9mee9's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    As far

  8. People who think CNA is easy!

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to jaylynn06's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I'm an RN in Rehab---I tell ANYONE/EVERYONE that the CNA's are the hardest working people in the building. And I mean it. Nursing can be just as "disgusting", because we can and do do the same...

  9. Private duty lpn, rn supervisor??

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Frenchie10's topic in Private Duty

    And no, the RN is not physically supervising the LPN as s/he performs her work as a PDN, it's just a requirement that the LPN have an RN supervisor listed for their

  10. Private duty lpn, rn supervisor??

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Frenchie10's topic in Private Duty

    It's that way in my state as well, BUT, all LPN's who are doing PDN and billing the State for services provided, MUST have an RN supervisor. Ideally its someone who also works the same case that they...

  11. Give regular insulin 30 units every am?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Blackcat99's topic in Diabetes, Endocrine Nursing

    Is it Lantus or Levemir that is long lasting, or something that is considered rapid or intermediate acting? We have no parameters for holding---if the sugar is low and we can't raise it, a call to...

  12. 4th try passed NCLEX RN..Great christmas gift

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to icandothis09's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    The NCLEX is a NATIONAL exam---each state does not have its own test. I think the question posed was if you're taking the PN or RN

  13. My patient had HIV and the flu but wore mask incorrectly

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to ssoxford's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    A definite reason why these things are fit-tested. Somebody at your facility has failed you by making them available to staff without ensuring that they can be used correctly. Find out who it

  14. What do you think of these Alegria brand shoes?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Cieritaqt's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I have a pair of Alegria--clog style though. I LOVE them, but at my current job we're supposed to have closed backs or at least a strap on our shoes. I'm hanging onto my alegrias for future jobs...

  15. First public drunk charge, May graduation

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to missy423's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    In my state its not even that (for the first one anyway!) It's a forfieture---only state in the nation where your first DUI is not a

  16. My patient had HIV and the flu but wore mask incorrectly

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to ssoxford's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    An n95 mask (if I'm not mistaken), requires each wearer to be fit-tested. Your facility should not be tossing a mask or directing you to a pile of them and saying "wear

  17. Licensed Practical / Vocational Nurses (LPNs / LVNs)

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to TheCommuter's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I'm in WI as well. My facility will allow LPN's to draw blood IF they are certified to do so, but no LPN is allowed to touch an IV in any way, shape or form. They don't start, flush, hang, or DC any...

  18. Failed first semester by very small amount...

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to hopefulRN23's topic in General Students

    Hmmmm, humility is going to serve you well once you do finish nursing school. Nursing is a constantly changing field--yes even from one scholastic year to the next. It would behoove you to take some...

  19. GVN License Number

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Manofstone's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Authorization To Test. You'll get that number once the school verifies that you have indeed completed all requirements of their program and are eligible to sit for the NCLEX. No test date can be set...

  20. friend in trouble... looking for your thoughts

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to catebsn25's topic in Nurses Recovery

    No advice, but wishing your friend the best. Spread the word to all you know--smoking pot is NEVER a good idea when you hold a nursing

  21. Recording Lectures

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Fearless_leader's topic in General Students

    Some of my professors were starting to offer podcasts of their lectures when I was in school. I never listened to them
