  1. Falsify credentials

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to cptkathy's topic in General Nursing

    In my state, if you don't have a valid CPR card, you don't have a valid nursing license. No exceptions. So yes, here, you'd not be allowed to work with an expired card b/c in essence, you wouldn't...

  2. Recording Lectures

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Fearless_leader's topic in General Students

    California, Conn., Florida, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, Montana, Nevada, New Hampshire, Pennslyvania and Washington require permisson of ALL parties involved in the conversation before...

  3. Recording Lectures

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Fearless_leader's topic in General Students

    Not sure why a professor would object to a student recording the lecture. Depending on your state and the laws within it, you, by law, may be able to record, as long as one party is aware that...

  4. Where do you all get textbooks from

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to maj0079's topic in General Students

    I had a friend who was a year ahead of me and I bought any book she was willing to part with---which was almost all of them! I did buy current drug books though. Even if a professor went to a newer...

  5. Don't you just hate it when a patient yells at you?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Brian's topic in Nursing Humor

    There's a certain delightful client where I work that will curse at staff if things don't go his way, ie: light on to turn up his TV. Staff will show him which button on the remote performs that...

  6. Is this type of schedule common?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to bella201's topic in General Nursing

    Yep, I always kid that on my weekend (3 12's in a row), they're darn lucky I remember to put pants on before I

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Vtachy1's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Do you have a POA or next of kin with you EVERY time you step outside of your

  9. If a person codes at Walmart..

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Vtachy1's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    No tattoos in some states for children. Even with parental

  10. If a person codes at Walmart..

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Vtachy1's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    And how is a well-meaning by-stander, volunteer EMT or career firefighter supposed to know that your wishes are to be left alone upon collapse in a public place? You expect them to search your person...

  11. If a person codes at Walmart..

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Vtachy1's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Isn't that the whole purpose of wearing an identifying bracelet? Who carries around paperwork saying, "if I drop, let me lie

  12. Respiratory Therapists Inserting PICC Lines

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Asystole RN's topic in Infusion, Intravenous

    Except when I did get to speak to one of the two RN's who do place PICC's at the local hospital, she made it very clear that she sets her own schedule as far as placing PICC's. And her partner likes...

  13. What is your grading scale?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to smoup's topic in General Students

    I don't recall the exact breakdown of what was considered an A, B, etc---I do know that rounding up didn't happen. If you earned a 79.9, you GOT a 79.9 and 80% was what was considered

  14. Conflict with a coworker

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to phlebo2rn's topic in General Students

    How many times should she "try to talk to the girl"? It's pretty clear (to me at least) that defenses are up and asking her again to explain why her name was being used in conversation understandable...

  15. Respiratory Therapists Inserting PICC Lines

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Asystole RN's topic in Infusion, Intravenous

    I'm in a fairly small city, approx 12,000. At my LTC/Rehab facility, I had a dementia LOL pull out her PICC line at 2am mid-week. Called the local hospital about having it replaced, "the nurses who...

  16. Awesome new development at our corrections facility

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Two Sheds's topic in Correctional

    "jerking off", "junk", "thing". Laughing about the injuries sustained after being introduced to the business end of a K-9 unit? The level of professionalism in this thread is

  17. Ad on Craiglist for ghostwriter for nursing student

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to tsm007's topic in General Students

    You won't be writing APA papers at the level required of a BSN education. There will be writing involved in your ADN program, but not to the degree that the ad-writer feels s/he will be doing....

  18. Ad on Craiglist for ghostwriter for nursing student

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to tsm007's topic in General Students

    Um, isn't what the ad-writer is going for? Someone to step in and help them with their work---in the form of DOING the work for

  19. Is this a legal part of the job?

    BuckyBadgerRN posted a topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Alright, I am not sure if this is in the right area, I'm really not sure where I should have started this thread. Admins, please feel free to move it wherever you feel it belongs! So, Winter is here,...

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

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to hopefulRN23's topic in General Students

    Better to hear the truth than to have someone blowing smoke into orifices and REALLY misleading

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

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to hopefulRN23's topic in General Students

    What do you mean "can they do this"? If a student didn't get the required 80%, then YES the school can fail them! I'm not sure how 79.5% is passing because that's not 80% either. I'm sorry that...

  22. Is this a legal part of the job?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to BuckyBadgerRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Ah, I wish it were. It's my weekend to work and they are predicting 2-4 inches here. I'll let you know what

  23. Is this a legal part of the job?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to BuckyBadgerRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    An excellent thought, but my boss is LONG gone by the time my shift starts and management is certainly not rolling in at 6am when I'm finished

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to BuckyBadgerRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Ohh, excellent

  25. Is this a legal part of the job?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to BuckyBadgerRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Talked with the RN who went out to shovel. She did indeed do it. Apparently CNA's are expected to do it (still not right, IMO) and rather than listen to them complain about it, she just went out and...
