  2. Will I become a bad nurse? How should I change?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to blueus's topic in General Nursing

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to NooNieNursie's topic in General Nursing

    For clarity sake, an LPN has his or her OWN license to protect. S/he does NOT work "under" your license, as long as you delegated appropriately to what s/he is able to do under the scope allowed to...

  7. Unprofessional Statement in Policy Book

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to purplegal's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I have a hard time believing that a passage like that made it through legal. Surely several people signed off on the policies in your handbook, legal representation being one of

  8. Anxiety and feeling of dread

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to djh8kperez's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I think it's an absolute natural thought whenever starting something new! I do think though that if your anxiety is debilitating enough to require a resignation from your former position, maybe don't...

  9. Senior care

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

    Most people are able to handle this task themselves. I do see that he is 88, although that wouldn't be a barrier for many. You should know that this is a task that you can do as well, op creating an...

  10. Fox News says patients waiting to see a doctor will have to "settle for a nurse instead"

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to FrancineRNfrannie's topic in Activism, Healthcare

  11. What type of soap do you use?

  14. What to do

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Cmanursestudenta's topic in General Nursing

    Then you'd be a licensed medical assistant, not a certified medical assistant, no? What was your supervisors advice? As I reread your post, it really seems like it's a control issue for this

  16. Pocket Snacks for 12 Hour Shift?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to westieluv's topic in General Nursing

    According to her tag line, yes. And in multiple states apparently! I surmise this from her titles of LPN AND LVN as only two states in the nation have

  17. What to do

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Cmanursestudenta's topic in General Nursing

    Well, the good thing is that you don't have a license to protect, so no matter what happens your non-existent license can't be dinged!! Is it possible to let a nurse handle her med pass for a while...

  18. What to do

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Cmanursestudenta's topic in General Nursing

    Is this an ltc facility or an alf? Is she " cleared" to self-administer? At my casual position if a resident can show that they understand their medications and can safely take them unassisted, we...

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Kiki<3's topic in General Students

    No no no!! Stop saying and believing this!!! The CI's license is not "at risk" by the action of a student!! It's not like she's sharing her license with students during clinical studies. I really...

  20. Tips for really strict clinical instructor?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Kiki<3's topic in General Students

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to na-na's topic in General Students

    Saunders NCLEX book is for when you've finished school and are studying for that exam, not for WHILE you're in school. I'd use you text book and power point specific to the class you're taking. If...

  23. Worried That Doctor's Orders Will Hasten A Patient's Death

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to PrincessNur's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Exactly what I was thinking. There are some serious issues with what op is saying. I also think we're dealing with a possible cultural divide

  24. Worried That Doctor's Orders Will Hasten A Patient's Death
