    BuckyBadgerRN replied to IdianaCNA1993's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Well, I did get through it all----I'll be honest, it was incredibly hard to read, LOL!!! That said, it doesn't sound like you'll miss this facility at all, so perhaps its a blessing in disguise!...

  2. Medication Mistake

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to buttercup_rn's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Well, first of all, I AM an RN. I've never changed my screen name. So shoot me. Secondly---she asked if any of us had made an error like that. My respone, "um no". And it's a valid question---how...

  8. CA nurse that made 260K which prison did she work at.

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to jgg765's topic in Correctional

    We have a "supermax" prison near where I live. In my state, retirement for state employees is based on your 3 highest years of salary. There was a guard who worked there and 3 years b/4 he retired,...

  9. Errors that you caught...

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to sabrina_RPN's topic in Patient Medications

    As a student, one day when I got to clinical, our instructor gave out our patient assignments and told me my patient was on a heparin drip, here's the facility policy, review it and go check your pt....

  12. Did I help or hurt him???? :(

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Misslady113's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Everyone's first thought is to not move a victim in case you cause more damage, but ABC's have to come first, if he couldn't breathe, the extent of his injuries wouldn't have meant a

  13. Paramedics rank higher than LPNs?

  14. Nursing Home LPNs

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to downsouthlaff's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Who do you think is doing assessments? Or wound care? Or managing the client receiving IV fluids? I hope when you finish nursing school in 15 months you will have lost that huge chip off of your...

  15. Paramedics rank higher than LPNs?

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

    First of all, ANYTHING with "vs" in it invites drawing battle lines. What professional does this? Also, why are you comparing EMT-P's to ADN's? A nurse is a nurse, regardless of the degree earned,...

  16. Medication Mistake

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to buttercup_rn's topic in First Year After Licensure

  17. Be Careful Where You Post Your Personal Information

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to sebig001's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Everyone I know and everyone THEY know has gotten one of these spam emails SOMEWHERE along the line. What hard lesson did you learn? Unless you actually FELL for her story and disclosed your banking...

  18. Forced to stay and work under mandatory evacuation?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to squatmunkie_RN's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I'm not attorney, but IMO, coming to work, accepting your assignment of patients but leaving if the weather turns ugly means that you did indeed "sign up" to take care of them. Your "every man for...

  19. Forced to stay and work under mandatory evacuation?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to squatmunkie_RN's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    OK, I may have a weird mind: I found it interesting that one of the biggest issues you have with this possible scenario, as evidenced by your use of the CAPS lock key, is that you'd have to share...

  20. Cheating in Pre-Reqs

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

    Ai yi yi. I gave up trying to read this. I feel like the text speak police: PLEASE, use full words and no text speak as spelled out by the

    BUY NURSING SHOES!!! Not any ol' white tennis shoes. Every part of your body with thank you. I've have them all: SAS, NurseMates, Cherokee Rockers, Alegria, Skechers, Dansko's, Crocs, etc. LOVED...

  23. Feeling insulted but not inferior

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to pedspnp's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I can see his point: YOU diagnosed yourself and wanted him to basically "treat" you without ever having examined you. What if you were in serious trouble and he had sent you to Urgent Care when you...

  24. Advice needed about clinical instructor

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to RNbethy's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    My apologies, I am one who made a comment about practicing under the umbrella of an instructors license. This is what is drilled into us as nursing students--that if WE mess up, it comes back on the...

  25. Advice needed about clinical instructor

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to RNbethy's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    But I don't think the teacher is judging me based on a fair assessment of my capabilities.... I pulled that from your first post. Sorry, from what you said I did read that you felt she was judging...
