  1. Funniest or worst PDN notes.

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to KATRN78's topic in Private Duty

    Hmm, not sure I like that at all. I change my client diaper. Don't think its billable, but if I don't write it, I didn't do it and any review of notes would make is seem like she was in the same...

  2. Funniest or worst PDN notes.

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to KATRN78's topic in Private Duty

    I'll write notes like "transferred to crib, X content, playing with 'Betsy'" which is an interactive stuffed toy she has. Betsy seems to make it into everyone's notes,

  3. Virginia RN jobs

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to LoriRNCM's topic in Virginia Nursing

    Thanks!! I always wondered about that little "finger" of land

  4. Pearson says... Pearson vue trick not accurate

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

    You shelled out $200 to take a test that you didn't study at all for? Just to see what it was like to take it? Sorry, but did you ever think that maybe God expects you to take a little responsibility...

  5. Virginia RN jobs

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to LoriRNCM's topic in Virginia Nursing

    Mom to 4, can you specify what is considered the Eastern

  6. Nursing School Bag - Vera Bradley

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to musaafirah's topic in General Students

    Those are cute as can be, but I would seriously wonder if they can stand up the demands you're going to be placing on them---nursing books are freaking heavy!!! Use your GC to buy a nice wallet or...

  7. Help!! I'm shut out of the NCLEX exam!

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to NurseCookie2013's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Oh no!!!! I'd have dissolved into a puddle of tears, straight up! Was she cut then or did they give her a break since they professor made the

  8. Pearson says... Pearson vue trick not accurate

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

    Sorry, but if you're foolish enough to send off another $200 to register for an exam you think you failed based on an unofficial "trick", then you deserve to lose that

  9. Pearson says... Pearson vue trick not accurate

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

    LOL, that doesn't mean PEARSON gave it that name. It's a CYA type of situation. As soon as they tell you that the "trick" works and then you run to a public message board and proclaim that you heard...

  10. School books/supplies are too expensive!

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Brian's topic in General Students

    I was able to buy many of my books from a friend who graduated a year ahead of me. she was happy to unload them and make a few bucks and I was thrilled with the savings! I spent $160 and got almost...

  11. Older workers that are new grad nurses, please explain.

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

    Your second example doesn't offer ANY sort of proof that this older new nurse is expecting something over a younger nurse based on her life experiences. Sorry, but you're really starting to come...

  12. Older workers that are new grad nurses, please explain.

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

    Hmmmm, I'm missing these "entitlement posts" that are being started by older new grads----could you link a couple? The only post I remember reading in recent weeks was started by a new young grad...

  13. What do you take to clinicals?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to i♥words's topic in General Students

    They make (or if you're handy and can sew your own) adorable stethoscope covers. Solves the problem of the tubing touching the natural oils on your skin AND helps your nice Littman from sprouting...

  14. Why are there no nursing jobs available for new grads? What is going on??

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to vab229's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Seriously?! This is your solution? Lay off someone who most certainly NEEDS their nursing job (or else they'd probably not be working it) so that jobs are available for totally inexperienced nurses...

  15. "Wait for the nurse"

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

    Maybe it's a regional thing, every clinic I've had to contact professionally communicates with this

  16. What do you take to clinicals?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to i♥words's topic in General Students

    Hmmm, it's going to sound snarky, but those meal trays must really pile up by the time of discharge!!! Really? Once something is set down it can't be removed? And, its

  17. What do you take to clinicals?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to i♥words's topic in General Students

    I'm curious to know what they expect you to do with the hemostats.....surely clamping off a bleeding artery is not something that you plan on needing to do (although Heaven help that artery if anyone...

  18. What if you're still unsure what kind of nurse you want to be?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Certifiable's topic in General Students

    What you WANT to do in nursing and what you will FIND in nursing may be two very different things. Keep that in mind with the lack of nursing jobs available to nurses, much less new

  19. Did you pass first try?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Momofboysx3's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    The NCLEX is a NATIONAL exam---it is the same whether you take in in Arizona, Maine or

  20. Random drug tests in nursing school?!

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Yolopilas's topic in General Students

    I'm guessing part of his problem was that the vicodin was not prescribed to

  21. Random drug tests in nursing school?!

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Yolopilas's topic in General Students

    We never had drug screening of any type while I was in school---scheduled OR random. Had we though, I can think of a couple of classmates who should have been

  22. Sleeping Nurse = No Agency?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to HisTreasure's topic in Private Duty

    It's hard to stay awake working a night shift when its just you and a sleeping client, I'll be the first to say it. I tend to drink a lot of water---nothing like frequent bathroom trips to keep you...

  23. Help!! I'm shut out of the NCLEX exam!

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to NurseCookie2013's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Yeah, I'm not sure why the advice to "lawyer up" is being given. If this is school policy, it's policy. A "strongly worded letter" will mean nothing. Why have rules and regulations in place for...

  24. Calculator at work?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to 1Luv_xo's topic in General Nursing

    How nice that they think they are God's gift to nursing, but I want to be the safe nurse who double check anything I'm unsure

  25. My daughter graduated BSN May 10th still hasn't received her ATT. Has anyone
