    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Chapo84's topic in Home Health

  4. Fired for expressing concerns about patient safety and care!

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to hkrntobe's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Chapo84's topic in Home Health

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to hkrntobe's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Soliloquy's topic in Pediatric

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to roreyn02's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

  18. Have you ever witnessed this situation?

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

    I'd like to think he's not targeting you because you're uninsured and using the free clinic for your healthcare needs. Surely there's a director somewhere that you can address your concerns to, I'd...

  21. Can LPN lose a license by not practicing for a year?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Braemer24's topic in Canada

  23. I need to vent

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to ZeroNightskye's topic in General Students

    What business is it of the instructor's if your book is new or not? If she wants to buy it, tell her to go for it. I totally understand her "demanding" that you use the same edition as the rest of...
