  1. I guess nursing is a no-go (??)

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

    Knowing what I know now? If I were you, I'd keep on keeping on right where you

  2. Advice of hipaa violation

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Bejey4353's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    Are you a nurse? I never ever buy the "I didn't know" defense because this shizz is DRILLED into people during orientation, education, refreshers, etc. It sounds like you put MANY people in a very...

  3. Encouragement needed - Frustrated and insulted by hourly rates

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to kemansha1's topic in First Year After Licensure

    My empathy is starting to drop and you are bordering on offensive now... Did you do NO research as to wages before you embarked on this

  4. New Grad, disciplinary woes

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to furelite's topic in General Nursing

    You don't have to sign a verbal warning, shame on them for making you think you

  5. IV starts in arm with a DVT

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to freezin's topic in General Nursing

    Is that arm the ONLY choice for IV placement? I'd stay as far away from it as possible, but maybe that's just

  6. How do you deal with being called a "snitch" by your co-workers?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to 1Jessie86's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    What exactly are you DEALING with? The extra work or some sort of retaliation from your complaint that turned out to not be anonymous? I'm confused by your post, it's kind of

  7. Is My Pay Really That Bad???

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Nurse_Lightning's topic in Travel

    Unless you work in Iowa, your pay is pretty good!! Seriously, Iowa pays its nurses 52 out of 50 states---the wages are behind Guam and US Virgin

  8. Is the nursing profession causing its own RN shortage?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to RNDave's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    What nursing shortage are you talking

  9. Why don't nurses bond?

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

    Yup. My two very best friends are married to professional FF, it is not Chicago Fire, Rescue Me, Third Watch or any other made for TV drama. I married a police officer, so the drama there is...

  10. LPN: is it worth it? Can you work in a hospital and what do you do?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Jmarty31's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I think you are unclear with the "order" of things in

  11. What's wrong with my patient?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Pseudonym's topic in General Students

    "what do I need to do?" You NEED to do your own homework

  12. So I just need to vent

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to jennaroo's topic in General Students

    First of all, PARAGRAPHS! Please, learn about them, use them! Secondly, once you've slept on this "experience" a night or two, I think I'd have a follow up talk with your instructor. To have staff...

  13. POLL ---Can a teacher give a group grade, but YOU a different grade from the group?

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

    Absolutely, you didn't do what was expected of you. I'm hoping that the rest of your group's grade didn't suffer as a result of your irresponsibility. Somehow, reading your other threads, you seem...

  14. Jealous Friends...

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Upward_Bound's topic in School, College Programs

    And this is why the people here believe you to have the emotional maturity of a 5th

  15. Jealous Friends...

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Upward_Bound's topic in School, College Programs

    Research is hard work? You sound very young,

  16. Sitting at work

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to nursefortheLord's topic in General Nursing

    OP, are you now a nurse? You're "bio" says pre nursing student, but your name here would give one the impression that you are a licensed RN with a BSN

  17. Cleaning up a dead person in a hospice setting

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to PhoebotNiChungngay's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    First of all, I would stop referring to your deceased clients as "dead persons". Secondly, in my experience the mortuary will place them into a "body bag" for transport to the funeral

  18. Never Give Up -- My Story

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

    I had to "like" this if for no other reason, to give you another

  19. Never Give Up -- My Story

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

    The almighty NCLEX will tell you that NONE of those things matter if you can't pass the test. Passion and desire are good for nothing except crappy romance novels unless you have a nursing license in...

  20. I am the worst person ever.

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to bicuspidball's topic in Nursing Humor

    I used to work with a CNA that would always wander by a certain resident's room to drop an air biscuit whenever she needed to. Totally blamed it on "Dorothy" and it was completely

  21. Can they do this?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to jkadel's topic in General Students

    I think OP isn't a

  23. Title RN/LVN

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to JENURSE03_RN's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    In my state, LPN's are licensed in odd years, RN's in even years. For a period of time I held BOTH

  24. General question about Foreigners

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to adamdunn's topic in Nursing Career

    Um yeah, like she doesn't truly exist as HIS "lady"

  25. Lice, I know, old news. But need opinions!

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Schoolnursesrock1's topic in School

    Social services. Seriously. There are clearly issues at home that are not being dealt
