  1. Question about weekend schedules

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to melc0305's topic in General Nursing

    When I worked solely LTC, it was every other weekend, 12 hours, the F/S/S. It sucked. Every other weekend came around FAST. Did that for about a year. Now I'm in clinic and I took an every 3rd...

  2. Being Sued / Losing License

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Meraki's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Are you speaking of the case in Wisconsin? If so, her license was suspended, not revoked. She got probation and was not allowed to work at a hospital or clinic that accepted Medicare reimbursement...

  3. Being Sued / Losing License

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Meraki's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    My state does this. Makes for some very interesting reading sometimes!! I just read about a classmates disciplinary action, quite

  4. What would say to a nurse shadowing you

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to cloa513's topic in General Nursing

    I really think that you are the wrong choice to be involved in anything political. You just may be the sole reason that a global disturbance occurs--now wouldn't that be a feather in your cap,...

  5. What would say to a nurse shadowing you

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to cloa513's topic in General Nursing

    Um, not true. You've been asked COUNTLESS times to explain WTH your role in this visit is! It seems not only can't you speak/write English, you also cannot comprehend

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to cloa513's topic in General Nursing

  7. PASSED NCLEX-RN in 265 Questions

  9. Nclex subjective exam

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Blessed9915's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I think that about once a day with some of the posts I've been reading

  10. Nclex subjective exam

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Blessed9915's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Me thinks there must be a back story covered in another post

  11. Nclex subjective exam

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Blessed9915's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I think English as a second language is part of the problem

  12. Nclex subjective exam

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Blessed9915's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    What does your "behavior in school" have to do with taking the NCLEX? Oh wait, I know this one. ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!! What in the world are you talking about "they" using it against

  13. PASSED NCLEX-RN in 265 Questions

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

    That's not how it works. There is ONE exam, nation-wide (hence the name NATIONAL in the name of the test). You get licensed in the state you live in and you will need to get an additional license...

  14. Least Favorite Things Patients Say

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

    "My veins roll, no one can ever get an IV in or draw blood". Challenge accepted. I was doing post op instructions after an intravitreal injection on Friday, saying the same thing I say EVERY single...

  15. Plan B!

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Determined2017's topic in General Nursing

    Um, no. Who goes into something thinking "now if I blow this, I'm going to do X"? Way to set yourself up mentally for

  16. Is this my responsibility?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Charlie Raye's topic in General Nursing

    Well, now you've added more information than you originally shared. I still feel it's within your scope LEGALLY to do. You DO call patients regarding lab results, no? You aren't going to divulge...

  17. IM injections

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Guest838984's topic in General Nursing

    I call bunk. There NO way a "new" hospital doesn't have every t crossed and I dotted before throwing open the doors and screaming "open for business"! If what you're saying IS true, I am afraid,...

  18. What would say to a nurse shadowing you

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to cloa513's topic in General Nursing

    I don't understand what YOUR role in your scenario is. You're not the nurse OR the shadowee, why would you be interested in knowing what a NURSE would do in this

  19. What would say to a nurse shadowing you

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to cloa513's topic in General Nursing

    You've been a member of a NURSING group for 4 years and you're not a nurse, not even a student? May I ask

  20. When confidentiality isn't quite the same

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    Yet another opportunity for you to slip in your "I worked with raunchy nurses" schtick. It's getting old,

  23. My rights after pt assault

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to RadioJenn's topic in General Nursing

    I think someone is giving you bad advice and hoped that you would let it

  24. My rights after pt assault

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to RadioJenn's topic in General Nursing

    Why would the hospital files charges? He assaulted YOU, not them. Not trying to be mean or snarky, but why would the facility do

  25. Ever have a patient complain about you?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to love lilacs's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I worked at an LTC for about a year and met some of the most manipulative people ever to grace this Earth, I swear. There was a gentleman (because I'm feeling nice!) who had certain CNA's convinced...
