    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Dbarnhart's topic in General Nursing

    Oh my. Such an idealistic first post. Welcome to AN, I

  2. I feel nursing is more of a calling than anything else

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Tarrus Eliuds's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    You're overthinking this. Sometimes you can't restore someone's life "back to normal". Sometimes the outcome is less than desirable. Saying that you do everything to make the bedridden "raise on...

  7. In desperate need of advice

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to MrClean01's topic in General Nursing

    I don't mind long posts, but lack of paragraphs usually means I won't read it all

  8. I feel nursing is more of a calling than anything else

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Tarrus Eliuds's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    Ah, you're new here and don't know how to use the "search" function, I see. MANY regular posters here feel exactly the opposite. I for one, was not "called" into nursing and it's wholly...

  9. New Grad, which job should I take?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Dreamscometru's topic in First Year After Licensure

  10. Nurses in clinical setting: physicians servant or patients caregiver?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to sharifi9879's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I work in clinic and I can honestly say I don't see myself in either camp, but more honestly, I've never put that much thought into it! I will say this though, I am NOONE'S

  11. Patient care question

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to LadybirdRN's topic in Hospice, Palliative

  12. Patient care question

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to LadybirdRN's topic in Hospice, Palliative

  16. School problem!!!

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to direw0lf's topic in General Students

    Yeah, bullies are going to take the time to listen to that speech. Not worth the time or effort. Ignore and move on ,

  17. Screaming match with my preceptor

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to jherd's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    The story could have been told without "male" and "female". Not sure why we all can't be nurses! That said, it sounds like she pushed your buttons and you responded exactly as she wanted you to....

  18. Took my NCLEX RN today and shut off at 205??

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Shellx1992's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Just because Maverick isn't using a unicorn to shoot rainbows and glitter your way does not mean she's being negative. She's being REAL. Start putting those critical thinking skills to use! My pass...

  19. Looking up patients previously in your care

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Clovery's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    LOL, try and spin it that way when your compliance managers come a' knocking to ask what you were doing in the chart of a patient you were NOT providing direct care for during that

  23. Debt for Nursing School

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Karamia0x's topic in General Students

    Holy cats. Honestly, knowing what I know now, if I made $23 as a lab tech, I'd stay right where you are. Especially since you said you enjoy your

  24. Debt for Nursing School

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Karamia0x's topic in General Students

    Um, there is a LOT that's involved in getting into that program. Do not assume more debt thinking that this will be the unicorn that makes your student debt go

  25. Dreading Micro!

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

    I dreaded micro also, the instructor was tough and I'd heard so many horror stories. Pffft. I ended up LOVING it! The instructor and I got along great, the labs were so interesting, I came just...
