  1. mandatory reporting

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to farmgirlie9's topic in General Nursing

    You can make an anonymous report. As long as a report isn't made KNOWING that it is false, I can't imagine that anyone would take legal action against a

  3. gifts

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to LouisVRN's topic in General Nursing

    I always took a basket of goodies to L&D after I delivered my babies: muffins, bagels, fruit, etc. They always got excited to see them, so hopefully it wasn't a violation of any

  4. New Nurse Issues the CNAs

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to NYLiz's topic in General Nursing

    I never said that YOU would harm or insult your patients/clients/residents. I think you let your "Italian blood" get racing and don't process fully things that are being suggested to you. You asked...

  9. New Nurse Issues the CNAs

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to NYLiz's topic in General Nursing

    Well, of course we are only hearing your side of the situation at hand, chances are that your CNA's would have some comments about the way you manage them as well. For instance: checking up on them....

  10. Trying to find a job in a doctor's office.

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to kimogieo's topic in Nursing Career

    Well, clearly, from the way the staff was "really busy" you now know that there are stresses in EVERY aspect of nursing, and I'd hate to think that you're wanting a clinic postion because it's "not...

  11. Is this truly the reality of nursing?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Reneeann25's topic in General Nursing

    IMO? You're in an awful place!! Management needs to take a serious look at the workload they've placed on the

  12. COPD patient wanting to leave to smoke

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to chris10lsuRN's topic in General Nursing

    By your theory, that "chinking cash register in Pharma" has already been covered by the patient in the "extortionate taxes" they are forced to pay when they buy their smokes. What about the...

  13. COPD patient wanting to leave to smoke

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to chris10lsuRN's topic in General Nursing

    At every facility I did clinicals in, smokers were automatically Rx'd nicotine patches. If they refused them and wanted to go outside to smoke, they were considered AMA and in order to come back...

  15. What kind of Stethoscope do you have?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to nycNurse2b's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I have 3 Littman's and my favorite is the Master Cardiology. Pricey, yes, but I can hear wonderfully with it. It's a bit heavy, but I've gotten used to it. I got it engraved with my name and don't...

  16. What does he do?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to us2uk4u's topic in General Nursing

    How in the world would a State know which nurses work at which facilities in order to give them a heads up that a license of one of their staff members has expired? IMO, it's TOTALLY up to each...

  17. Brushing my teeth at work giving me mouth sores

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Jamthenurse's topic in General Nursing

    Canker sores are not caused by a virus or bacteria, so the sink is not "giving" you the sores. Or are you getting cold sores? You mention both, but they are VERY different. You also can't...

  18. rubber fingers?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to onthejourney's topic in General Nursing

    Ah, finger cots!! Haven't seen one in quite a few years. Which makes me wonder just when your inventory checklist was

  19. studying for IBCLC exam

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to anurseatlast's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I've got nothing to give in the way of study advice, just wanted to say GL to you. The IBCLC's that helped my son and I were INVALUABLE and I know that it takes a lot to become one. It irks me when...

  20. Just took random drug test

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to learninglessons12's topic in Nurses Recovery

    See, the thing about internet boards is that you are NOT able to interpret the "tone" of somebody's written word. Therefore, it is up to me to tell you that you are off the mark (wildly) when you say...

  21. Maternity teaching project (3rd year nursing student)

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to macylynn's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Your assignment sounds a lot like our Grand Rounds portion! A lot of us did quizzes at the end (we presented to our clinical groups as though they were our target audience) It was all about educate,...

  22. Mandated Flu vaccine?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to mol42's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I always love those who say they got the vax and then ended up sick as a dog: N/V/D, "the whole flu thing". Trying to explain to them that they were vax'd against RESPIRATORY influenza and not the...

  23. Mandated Flu vaccine?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to mol42's topic in Disaster Preparation

    It's very possible you were down with a flu that wasn't part of the vaccine. Each year "they" decide which strains will be most prevelant/harmful and develop a vaccine to cover those strains. If...
