  1. Wrong injection!

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to lotus_flower's topic in Patient Medications

    Are you a nurse? Regardless, you should know "what the difference" is between the two medications that you administer!! That you don't and then post here about it is a little

  2. New Grad & Bullying

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to NICURN87's topic in General Nursing

    Your lack of paragraphs made for extremely difficult reading!! i will say that your fmla is probably not common knowledge and your coworkers are not at all happy about your multiple call outs....

  3. Shut off 102+ questions and I know I got last question right!

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

    I'm sorry the results weren't what you'd hoped for. But can I say there WAS a positive in this? You've dispelled the ridiculous myth that if you got the last question on the exam right that you...

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

  5. Dispelling NCLEX myths

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

    Try reading the NCLEX forum here. Prospective nurses spout this doozy ALL. OF. THE. TIME. No source required, this thread is about NCLEX MYTHS, hence springchick posting what she

  6. Do you still have to do dosages math by hand as an RN now?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to xmilkncookiesx's topic in General Nursing

    I work in clinic, no pharmacy to mix meds for me! There is one procedure that we do that I have to get a height, weight, reconstitute the drug, draw up the appropriate amount based on h and w and...

  7. I harmed my first patient today.

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to starwarrior's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Um, I'm going to come off as cold-hearted perhaps. But seriously, you'd better learn to toughen up just a touch. And

  8. How to say no when someone asks for your stethoscope?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to emt... rn student's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Oh yes, you can bet I can! I do manual BP's all day long in clinic. It CAN be done. I don't loan my shizz to

  9. How I Passed NCLEX First Time!

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

    Lots of atheists pass the NCLEX. On the first time

  10. I harmed my first patient today.

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to starwarrior's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Oy. You didn't HARM a patient. At most, you hurt him and you're going to do that a thousand more times in your nursing career. Blood draws can hurt. IV starts can hurt. Inserting an NG tube is...

  11. Solutions for Drinks at Nursing Station?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to ImNicoEh's topic in General Nursing

    I have no idea how those containers are even supposed to solve the

  12. Solutions for Drinks at Nursing Station?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to ImNicoEh's topic in General Nursing

    I work in clinic and we ALL have drinks at our desks. When you're hired, part of your welcome "package" is a logo mug with a lanyard, pens, etc inside. As long as cups are covered, we are good....

  13. "I would never want you as my nurse!"

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    You do know that nurses don't JUST work in hospitals, right?

  14. What does TID PRN really mean?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to PolishGirlRN's topic in General Nursing

    Yup, three times in 24 hours. Of course, following shifts are going to be horked off if you "use them all up" and leave none for them

  15. How many days do you work in a row?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Jaellys's topic in General Nursing

    I do a FT clinic job, PRN LTC. I've done up to 17 in a row. Clinic are 10+ hour days, LTC 8

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

    I'd probably take a chance and check now

  17. Charting!!??

    School nurse as an LPN? Sweet

  18. Private duty nursing

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Nursekelli2016's topic in Private Duty

    Bad situation. You're a new grad (new grads do NOT belong in home health, IMO), with an outdated careplan. No MD is going to help you muddle through a careplan, they just aren't. Please please...

  19. Administering Tylenol to a friend

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Em31200's topic in General Nursing

    Meh. It's OTC, you don't need to be a prescriber. Who prescribes it for you in your home? Your professor makes me roll my

  20. WHAT TO DO...Nurse is refusing to give PRN medication

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to purplenurse1's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Any good provider will recognize the frequent PRN use and just schedule the dang med. I don't understand what the problem really

  22. Cna-Rn bullying, lies, hiding things on charts

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to chicsurfs's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    You're pretty quick to play the bully card. You're losing credibility VERY rapidly with me at least

  23. Cna-Rn bullying, lies, hiding things on charts

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to chicsurfs's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    What kind of license do you suppose a med tech has? In my state, none. Just like in my state YOU don't have a license. I think it would be prudent for you to learn inside and out just what the...

  24. Suspension

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to B51toad's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Then I'm confused as to why you posted. You asked if it would affect your WV license and Nippon you say it

  25. Credentials

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to phiir's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Are you pursing a degree in attitude as well? Be sure and get that put on your jacket you're currently wearing with a degree you do not currently
