  1. autopilot mindset med errors

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to MelissaMooRN's topic in Patient Medications

    Big HUGS, so glad that your patient is going to be OK! I hope this makes the facility stop and say "hey!" VERY dangerous to use the same syringes for both drugs!! Where I work PDN, ALL insulins are...

  3. what can you do when a nurse sets you up

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

    Well, that's a nice twist! Maybe the threat of her losing HER job because of her little game shook her up a bit. When (if) she comes back, I would absolutely not turn keys over to her until you've...

  4. terminated- feeling like a failure

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to sunshine539's topic in General Nursing

    Ugh. The other shoe. WHY must we always dig for the other shoe. Anyhoo, it sounds like you were on their radar, OP. Maybe they were looking for ANY

  5. terminated- feeling like a failure

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to sunshine539's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe I don't know as much about HIPAA as I once believed. How is this a HIPAA violation? Falsified charting/documentation, yes. A

  7. Demotion from DON, self report to BON

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to MB,RN's topic in LTC: Directors, Assistant

    Self report what? The BON doesn't keep track of employment

  8. Husband just got into ASN program -- should he pursue it?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Mindylane's topic in General Students

    It's school, don't overdramatize it. OP is making it sound like this will be a complete waste of time, he will be unemployable. Not true. It IS up to DH whether or not to pursue this

  9. Husband just got into ASN program -- should he pursue it?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Mindylane's topic in General Students

    There are HUNDREDS of nursing positions out there that aren't in hospitals. You don't have to be a hospital nurse to be a

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    Are you working in a juvenile detention center now? You "just happened" to start chatting to a 16 year old about his legal troubles with

  12. Where will I have the least amount of contact with men?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to nightflower's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I don't mean to be snarky, but I think your dream job exists just there, IN YOUR DREAMS. Clearly you have deep issues that drive this extreme thought process, I wish you

  13. Should I let my interviewer know that I had failed the NCLEX twice before passing?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to nursechansey's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I've never been asked about the number of NCLEX attempts (dammit, because it was once, LOL). I graduated in May and didn't even attempt to job hunt for almost a year because I was content in my...

  14. Visitors on Working Days

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to applesxoranges's topic in General Nursing

    One of you two needs to grow a pair, or use the ones that one of you already has. Since it's his family, I'd let him go first, but if he can't get the point across, you need to go in both barrels...

  15. Nursing student: Job offer starting same day as required NCLEX review

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to nurmac's topic in General Students

    The nclex is a national exam. No one sits for state boards. so, tell us one more time how you scored the highest on the hesi. I'm not sure we understand that part

  16. Nursing student: Job offer starting same day as required NCLEX review

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to nurmac's topic in General Students

    WHY do such pertinent details come out AFTER the initial post and a few comments. You DON'T have a job. Better focus on finishing your requirements from school so you can GET a job. And brush up on...

  17. Schools for students who dropped out of a nursing program

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to male2bnurse0's topic in General Students

    You need to learn to recognize constructive criticism. You're asking such a BROAD question---there are HUNDREDS of nursing schools in the US, I'm sure there are a great number of for-profit schools...

  18. School problem!!!

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to direw0lf's topic in General Students

    Are you in nursing school or Jr. High? Because I'm really having a hard time

  19. Reported for this?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to smartnurse1982's topic in Private Duty

    The math for my PDN case was simpler, LOL! The fact remains that you DID give a "medication" prepared by somebody else, even though you said you never ever do that. How many nurses stand to be...

  21. Reported for this?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to smartnurse1982's topic in Private Duty

    That's sad. Families want people in their homes caring for their ill children, but don't "want you in the kitchen". So many stories like this in the PDN world

  22. Reported for this?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to smartnurse1982's topic in Private Duty

    But you kinda did. The formula is a re-imbursible "medication" being paid for for medicaid. You stated that you pour it in the feed bag, even though it's been prepared by the mom, NOT you. I get it,...

  23. ethical dilema

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

    There is NEVER "nothing to do" in LTC. Stock med carts. Go through stock meds on the shelves and toss expired stuff. Empty, wipe out and organize the treatment carts. Help CNA's pass...

  24. So can i loose my certificate and or be jailed??

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to ahurtcna's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Um, you didn't come back? That's a vital piece to your story. Me thinks THAT'S why they are threatening you with what they are. You can't "loose" your certification. Do you REALLY think that the...

  25. Bad job reference from my school...now what?

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

    And she also threw in "I hope I never have to work with any of you" A small leap from "i hope none of you ever take care of my loved
