  1. Fired within 90 days... advice?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to blue_belle9's topic in Nursing Career

    Lol!! YOU be the one to suggest that bon's keep track of of every nurses employment situations and see how far you get!

  2. Fired within 90 days... advice?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to blue_belle9's topic in Nursing Career

    You're kidding, right? The BON is not keeping track of every RN's employment history! Unless the OP was fired for something that resulted in disciplinary action that the BON was/is involved in, WHY...

  3. Fired within 90 days... advice?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to blue_belle9's topic in Nursing Career

    I think that the firing agency telling you to "leave this job off of an application" is code for "we won't/can't be giving you a positive recommendation". I'd follow their advice for a while and if...

  4. do you wear those clogs?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to EDnursetobe's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I JUST got a pair of Alegria's and so far I love them. I've done crocs, Skecher Mary Janes, several pair of Cherokee Rockers, and a pair of NurseMate clogs and have to say they've all been pretty...

  5. Another rant regarding MA's and Nurses

  6. "You're a NURSE??"

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Joyfull77's topic in General Nursing

    Yup, these are all over FB with different careers as topics. All very applicable for the career they are talking

  7. CPR

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to ionesand's topic in General Nursing

    I agree, sorry---it does vary by state! I was speaking of my own requirements, again,

  8. CPR

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to ionesand's topic in General Nursing

    Well, current CPR is a requirement of your LICENSURE, so in effect, your license has "lapsed" when your CPR did. MA's don't have a license, so they're not in violation of any rules that govern this....

  9. Developmental Psychology

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to ttownstudent's topic in General Nursing

    Dev Psych made me learn stages of development according to Freud, the x vs. x stages of development per Erickson, etc which I needed to know for tests and NCLEX, which of course had to be passed in...

  10. Sticky fingers-stealing other people's food/office supplies

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Black Jade's topic in General Nursing

    Wouldn't it be battery if they GAVE the tainted treats to someone? The "victims" are thieves, helping themselves to something that is clearly not

  11. should nurse managers wear scrubs?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to rebeccalee83's topic in General Nursing

    Homework?

  12. If I Said on Here What I Wanted to Say.

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to DixieRedHead's topic in General Nursing

    IMO, sometimes a little "tough love" is exactly what people need to hear. Sugar-coating and poo-pooing may make someone's feelings feel better, but doesn't address the issue. Again, IMO only

  13. Sticky fingers-stealing other people's food/office supplies

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Black Jade's topic in General Nursing

    A video camera would only be a violation of privacy if the employees have a right to EXPECT privacy ie: bathrooms or staff locker rooms. Public areas such as a breakroom can certainly be equipped...

  14. FIRED!!! What to do now?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to safiri's topic in General Nursing

    Nope,

  15. FIRED!!! What to do now?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to safiri's topic in General Nursing

    HA HA!! If it's state, it's union! Not in my state!! Our Gov. has vowed to bust unions, and he effectively has. Please do not think you are safe b/c you are "union" =( Other states are...

  16. small dilemma

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to BABYJADE06's topic in General Nursing

    Congrats on the job AND the pregnancy!!! If they've already offered you the position, I can't imagine they'd recind the offer b/c of a pregnancy---lots of legal issues there!! As far as patient...

  17. Scrubs and Beyond

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Sensibility's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I'm sorry you've had such trouble =( I have ordered a LOT of things from Scrub and Beyond (I order for my entire office) and have to say we've never had a bit of trouble with returns. The policy...

  18. Just arrested..

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

    I thought the category (STS) is "licensure with a criminal history", not just about recovery..... Am I mistaken =(

  19. Will a past DUI affect taking the NCLEX/Getting hired?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to NURSING STUDENT 12's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    ITA, believe me. Public transportation/cabs are not a reality here,

  20. Has anyone tired these scrubs?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Watermelonfan's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Not at all familiar with them, but they seem awfully pricey!! $50 for a scrub top?! I'm too cheap to spend that kind of money,

  21. Will a past DUI affect taking the NCLEX/Getting hired?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to NURSING STUDENT 12's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    I think it really varies WIDELY by state. I had a classmate with 4, yes FOUR DUI convictions and she sat for the NCLEX (LPN) and got a license and a job right

  22. Any online RN nursing schools

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

    Completely online? What about skills and

  23. Any online RN nursing schools

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

    A lot of ADN programs offer many THEORY courses online, but of course lab time and clinicals cannot be done online. IMHO, it's impossible to complete an entire RN degree online. I did quite a chunk...

  24. Hiring without a License?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to msAnneRN11's topic in General Nursing

    Speak with them and be totally honest. Schedule your re-test and study, study, study!! In my state they can hire you as a GN, but once you take the NCLEX, you either are an RN (pass!) or no longer a...

  25. Seriously? What are they telling you in school?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Simply Complicated's topic in General Nursing

    They do the vaccinations on my kids in the clinic we go to, so you bet they "give
