  2. Is this a legal part of the job?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to BuckyBadgerRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

  3. Is this a legal part of the job?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to BuckyBadgerRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I'd like to think so, but the CNA's said the nurse who worked on Saturday went out twice and pushed snow around. I haven't texted her yet to get the scoop, but I can completely believe it they way...

  4. Is this a legal part of the job?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to BuckyBadgerRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    There's no contract, per se. I KNOW no one mentioned snow removal prior to the exact moment it was brought up to me last night. Again, not by management! Believe me, I would have

  6. Quit nursing school after two months...

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to keeyumbow66's topic in Nursing Career

  7. Quit nursing school after two months...

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to keeyumbow66's topic in Nursing Career

    Do some research on over-saturation of hygienists too---two schools around here closed their doors b/c they were churning out graduates who can't find

  8. Quit nursing school after two months...

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to keeyumbow66's topic in Nursing Career

    Whoa!!! I've never heard of doing NG tubes on fellow students--never!! I think you made the right decision to get out and it has little to do with not feeling passionate about

  9. Unrealistic nursing students

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to dnsonthego's topic in General Nursing

    I probably would have tried to do what their school didn't: paint a true picture of the big bad world of nursing. I agree whole-heartedly, schools are woefully inadequately preparing students for...

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to MileyFans's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

  11. Can an RN administer general anesthesia?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Tinkk's topic in General Nursing

  12. Can an RN administer general anesthesia?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Tinkk's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, we always told patients NPO b/4 IV sedation, ALWAYS. Did the intubate you the way GA patients usually are? Doubtful since they needed that oral space to do the extractions

  13. Can an RN administer general anesthesia?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Tinkk's topic in General Nursing

    For the record, most likely you weren't given general anesthesia for wisdom teeth extractions, especially if it was done in the surgeon's office. IV sedation is the norm for this instance. I worked...

  15. Nursing Shortage

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to zack1110's topic in General Nursing

    Nope, sorry. It's hard to engage in a lively, intellectual discussion with a professional peer who doesn't grasp basic grammatical concepts. Since verbal debate is impossible in such a forum, the...

  16. Nursing Shortage

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to zack1110's topic in General Nursing

    Zack, what is the purpose of the frequent use of your "quotes". Please, man, brush up on some basic writing

  17. Nursing Shortage

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to zack1110's topic in General Nursing

    Why is RN written as "RN" when referring to ADN

  18. Female cathing

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to sistrmoon's topic in General Nursing

    I will readily admit that I don't think I do female cathing well. Luckily, one of my reliefs is very good at them and enjoys doing them, and I gladly take her IV starts and lab draws

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to CNA2day's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    OP, can you explain why you are so adament about not using two people when utilizing a hoyer lift. It's a safety factor plain and simple, for you and your client! If it is your facility policy, it...

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to heartsgal's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    They already told you that you sounded "desperate" and now you want to send them a letter saying they NEED you? I'd stop and let that digest for a bit before hitting send on an

    Washington state has it's own NCLEX exam? I never knew

  23. Cops and Nurses

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to GundeRN's topic in General Nursing

    My husband and brother are both law enforcement officers. No way would they forgo a speeding ticket just because you're a nurse. And as we "hang" with a lot of other LEO's, I can tell you that this...
