  1. Dining Room Duties

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to NurseQT's topic in Geriatric, LTC

  3. Yikes! Flu Shot!

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to ThespinaDiaz's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I don't expel the air, nor was it expelled from the one I received. I felt absolutely nothing and everyone I've given one to has said "that's the best flu shot I've ever gotten, I'm having you do mine...

  4. Ceil blue Littmann Classic III stethoscope

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Sunshinexoxo1991's topic in General Students

    Mine is the master cardiology---in chocolate brown! I've never seen another one like it, which is perfect for keeping track of it, because they use microscopic font when Littmann engraves

  5. What type of needle do you use when drawing up from glass ampoules

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to jamsandwich2015's topic in General Nursing

    I didn't know filter needles come in different gauges, to be honest. All of our intravitreal meds are drawn up with filter needles, and those come from a regular ol' rubber top

  7. How do you feel about care plans?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to shanell85's topic in General Students

    Not every nurse works in a hospital. Surely you've learned THAT in nursing school? LTC facilities have VERY detailed and lengthy careplans on most of their residents. Knowing how to write them and...

  9. Yikes! Flu Shot!

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to ThespinaDiaz's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    OP, are you a nurse? Chances are that the person who gave you your injection isn't! We don't use alcohol before a blood glucose finger stick, does that shock

  12. Lvn/Pn vs RN

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to winter415's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Your belief is just that, YOUR belief. States have varying scope of practices in place for a reason. LPN's in my state aren't allowed to hang blood, or the first ABX. Just because YOU believe that...

  13. Should Nurses have to clean patients rooms after a patient dies or is discharged??

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Pride/hardwork17's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I'm not sure why you're worried about the "legality" of it. It really sounds more like you think it's beneath you, as a nurse. I can absolutely clean a room, but probably not to the specifics that...

  14. Homework interview needed!!!!!

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Libby1987's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I NEVER had this assignment in nursing school. Maybe they figured out that the "interviews" were total works of fiction and did away with

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to dreamer0x's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    After my very first A&P class I thought "i cannot do this" and seriously had to talk myself into returning two days later. I just set my eyes on the prize and plugged away, one day at a time. I...

  19. Being cross trained wthout a choice.

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to sky1263's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Why would your license be at risk? (SO biting my tongue) Are you a nurse or not? Just because you're being trained to a different area does not mean the big bad BON is going to come gunning for...

  21. How to File a Complaint against BON

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to twins2014's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    WHY would it be your employer's responsibility to submit paperwork for YOUR license renewal? I've never asked an employer ever to do this on my behalf. You won't like this, but you sound like there...

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to FutureJoy's topic in General Students

  23. How to File a Complaint against BON

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to twins2014's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    You want to file a complaint AGAINST the BON because they've been "rude" to you? Is this for real? You've even spoken to an attorney about this? You can't be
