  1. Do you think I could get kicked out?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to w.ross1990's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    That was another question I had---just where WAS some kind of instructor for these students? (I use plural b/c OP says another student "turned her in") When I was in school ANYTHING you did in a...

  2. becoming a baby friendly hospital

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to kms6417's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Ditch the formula bags and any giveaways sponsered BY formula companies! Educate, educate, educate. Unfortunately the vast majority of health care providers think formula is a safe/comparable...

  3. 5-6 years since passing program, now N-CLEX bound

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to t00ncess's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    School was 5 years ago and you never sat for the NCLEX? I'd be finding a review class! I've never taken one, but I'm sure someone here can give some recommendations.

  4. Do you think I could get kicked out?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to w.ross1990's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    Well, it definately sounds like poor design! My concern would also be that your lack of judgement jepordizes the relationship between hospital and school. My school "got kicked out" of a SNF for 3...

  5. Do you think I could get kicked out?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to w.ross1990's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    Um, so leave him home instead of in the

  6. I love my days off

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to beast master RN's topic in General Nursing

    You said it!!! I got to pick my nights to work: M, T, Th. 7am on Friday my weekend begins! Of course it begins with a nap,

  7. "Sir or Ma'am" when addressing physicians?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to nurs4kids's topic in General Nursing

    I'd say it depends on what the physician thinks as well. If I were an MD and someone called me Ma'am, I'd stop them short and ask them not to do that again,

  8. CA LVN's with felony convictions?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to lvndmaking's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    Ummm, that varies by state. In my state, convicted felons are NEVER allowed to vote, no matter where they are getting their mail. They are never allowed to register a gun again

  9. How do nurses practice giving shots?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to sakiohma's topic in General Students

    We used "lifelike" "arms" in the skills lab. For liability purposes we weren't allowed to jab each other for IM's in school. Out in clinicals though, if it was a low census on the floor, we'd grab...

  10. when did you have your OR clinicals?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to jusstme's topic in General Students

    Ours was very similar. In all of our hospital rotations we'd be divided up: one would go to OB, one to ER, a couple to surgery, etc. We never had an entire "unit" on peds, or a semester in psych,...

  11. Should I stay or should I go?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Heart for Nursing's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    In my mind you've been handed a gift on a silver platter. Clearly, the manager is confident in your ability to make the switch from CNA to RN, you must be impressing her!! Are they willing to hire...

  12. Pearson view trick doesnt work

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

    It took a while to get posted to my state's site

  13. Nurses working overtime

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Brian's topic in Nursing Humor

    Do the research! It's becoming more and more rare for hospitals to hire LPN's. None the hospitals around here hire new LPN's, if a current leaves for whatever reason, they're replaced with an

  14. Oh dear . .Audited for proof of CEUs and don't have

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Norma_Saline's topic in General Nursing

    Glad you got good news from the BON =) Now go earn those hours,

  15. Oh dear . .Audited for proof of CEUs and don't have

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Norma_Saline's topic in General Nursing

    OP can correct me, but I think it's come out that she had between X date and Y date to get her 30 hours in for the renewal period and only completed maybe 8 of those hours and has NEVER done the...

  16. The latest nursing scrubs...

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Joe V's topic in Nursing Humor

    I do solid pants with a print top---simple and "classic". No cartoon characters for me, but I can totally see that for peds!! I HATE head to toe white, not at all practical IMO and it was what was...

  17. Oh dear . .Audited for proof of CEUs and don't have

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Norma_Saline's topic in General Nursing

    Since the OP asked that we not smack her around for what is clearly her fault, I'll just smile broadly and click like. It only allows one

  18. HIPAA violation or just a bad decision?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to concerned2012's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    Not to completely derail the initial question at hand, but PLEASE tell me that this nurse that attempted to defraud the government got her fanny handed to

  19. HIPAA violation or just a bad decision?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to concerned2012's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    in my mind, if she sent the text with "delete right away" attached to it, she knew damn well that what she was doing had some illegal/unethical tones to it. i personally find it disgusting that any...

  20. Starting to become hopeless with this resume, please help?

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

    Maybe my way of thinking is incorrect, but my age does NOT appear on my resume. It didn't when I was "younger" and won't now that I'm "older". I also do not put my HS info on a resume, it was a long...

  21. Oh dear . .Audited for proof of CEUs and don't have

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Norma_Saline's topic in General Nursing

    I've never been audited, but wouldn't it be fraud to say you completed a required class when in fact you hadn't? I know that there are lots of free online CEU's availalbe, I'd say start searching...

  22. My first RN paycheck hits my account today!!

    BuckyBadgerRN posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    And I have to say, I'm a little bit excited =) I graduated in May, 2011, passed my NCLEX in July and just started my first RN position 2 weeks ago. I'm working through an agency doing home health....

  23. As a new grad, should I take this job? Not much time!

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

    My first job out of nursing school is/was home health through an agency. I'm becoming peds vent certified. My friend who told me about this position LOVES doing HH vent patients, and what she said...

  24. Sad state of affairs!

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to beeker's topic in General Nursing

    Hold that thought Esme!!! My husband is a police officer. We live in Wisconsin. It is not a rosy picture

  25. Sad state of affairs!

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to beeker's topic in General Nursing

    Very disheartening =( Yet everyone thinks we're all rolling in the
