  1. Can a teacher do this?

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

    You are still stuck on the fact that "she didn't direct you in what you needed to review". People have told you over and over in this thread that YOU need to be responsible for knowing it all, your...

  2. I flunked out of clinical today..

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Student2001's topic in General Students

    Someone will come along with the links to show that students are NOT working under the license of their CI, COMMON misconception shoved down the throat of terrified nursing

  3. Can a teacher do this?

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

    What is it you feel we are

  4. Can a teacher do this?

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

    Make a note from here on forward: REVIEW IT ALL!!! Why in the world would an instructor have to tell you exactly WHAT she plans to use on the exam? REVIEW IT

  5. Can a teacher do this?

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

    Sounds like you WERE tested on the material covered, right? Just in more detail than you were prepared for? I don't think the teacher is/was out of

  6. Will I get in trouble ? ? ?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Congababe13's topic in General Students

    Why would the school have to "make it clear" what their policies are. She says she KNEW that cell phones were NOT allowed at clinicals yet "everyone does it". That doesn't make it right. I'm...

  7. Will I get in trouble ? ? ?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Congababe13's topic in General Students

    Oh dear----I misread your first update!!! I am very sorry and wish you well in the appeals

  8. Will I get in trouble ? ? ?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Congababe13's topic in General Students

    LOL, you probably shouldn't correct her though!! I'm very glad that they are giving you another chance. Keep in mind that they have drafted their policies for a reason--ie: keep the cellphones OUT...

  9. Will I get in trouble ? ? ?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Congababe13's topic in General Students

    Right off the bat if it's typed "HIPPA" instead of "HIPAA", I am already questioning the validity of the official point they are about to make on the

  10. Is it legal for a 2nd semester student nurse to do home elder care work?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to faetus's topic in General Students

    I know it would be, but depending on the depth of the friendship, agency fees could be a small price to pay, KWIM?

  11. Is it legal for a 2nd semester student nurse to do home elder care work?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to faetus's topic in General Students

    CNA's don't have licenses, so I don't believe that would be an issue at all. It sounds more to me like he wants a PCA for his father? Why doesn't he use an agency for that? It can turn out very...

  12. What is the one thing that turns your stomach?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to FDW630's topic in General Students

    Eye injuries.

  13. Advice for a new nursing student?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to lunardreams's topic in General Students

    Yeah, based on the threads I've read just this afternoon, leave your cell phone in your

  14. water pitcher mix ups in the hospital, how to avoid?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Tholi's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Hire people who can read the names, match the corresponding labeled tops and bottoms, and dispense them properly. It's a matter of laziness on the part of staff,

  15. Will I get in trouble ? ? ?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Congababe13's topic in General Students

    Why in the WORLD are students taking cell phones into clinical settings?! This was immediate dismissal at my school, and when I hear stories like this, I'm inclined to agree!! If they DO kick you...

  16. I flunked out of clinical today..

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Student2001's topic in General Students

    I'm so sorry that this happened so close to the end =( In my program, that would have been a critical violation (forgetting a watch, not the "falsifying"), 3 of those and you'd be dismissed. FWIW,...

  17. FIRED FOR NO REASON

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Travelnurse44's topic in Nursing Career

    Sorry, the text speak and grammar was so sad in the OP's post that I'm having a hard time processing it all. Multiple firings? Never your fault? Seriously I think any HR interviewing you would...

  18. Read this email my NM sent to all the nurses.

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to GummibearsRN's topic in General Nursing

    It sounds like the type of email no manager should HAVE to send. I agree, if staff is acting like this (shopping online, yapping loudly at the nurses station, gossip), the CN should be yanking their...

  19. Best/Worst Online Schools? Opinions PLEASE!!

    BuckyBadgerRN posted a topic in Online Distance Learning

    So I'm starting to seriously consider moving my ADN degree to a BSN. Online is the best option for me and my oh my, the choices seem limitless! I have a couple of friends doing Phoenix, but I've...

  20. is 25-30 too late to want to pursue a nursing degree?

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

    Ha ha. I was 39 when I went back to nursing school. I was not the oldest in my program

  21. White uniform

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to ArieElizabeth's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Flesh toned, even a shade darker works well. Just don't wear a pair that say "Hottie" across the back. Yep, had a classmate show up that way one

  22. Discrimination & Whistle blowing - Would you hire this nurse again?

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

    A $40,000 payout for never having worked a day in the facility? Yep, that's leave a bad taste in a potential HR managers

  23. Discrimination & Whistle blowing - Would you hire this nurse again?

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

    Oh my. Good luck with those assumptions should you ever get hired in a hospital again.

  24. Letting off Steam, hope my extinguisher is ready

    BuckyBadgerRN posted a topic in General Nursing

    OK, this is just my personal rant for the day (maybe week, we'll see) and even though I am probably going to come across as looking petty/catty, I'm going to let it fly anyway. Even if noone is...

  25. Letting off Steam, hope my extinguisher is ready

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to BuckyBadgerRN's topic in General Nursing

    As its been pointed out, hospital sponsership is largely a thing of the past, so calling facilities and complaining (your words) to them would be mostly pointless. And I do make it a point to tell...
