  1. Nurses: How many phone calls do you get per shift?!

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Cola89's topic in General Nursing

  4. "Difficult part of being a nurse"-essay

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to exstinctor's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

  6. Pt diverting pain meds, managers aware, nothing is done!

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Peppermint_RN's topic in General Nursing

    My name isn't Webster, but I'm not sure diversion is the term you're looking for if it's the patient's own med. I also don't get the "you'll never win against a vet" statement---are we at war here at...

  10. Nursing student hair color change for more respect

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Vonqiqi's topic in General Students

    I'd check the student handbook. My school only allowed "natural" hair colors, no pinks/purples/blues or two tone like you describe. If you're going to own a look, you need to own what comes with

  12. Nurse Slang Yo!

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to ladysushi's topic in General Nursing

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to ladysushi's topic in General Nursing

    Pain is subjective. If YOU don't think it's painful, it's not for an ER nurse to insist that it is. Irresponsible of him/her to say that to

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

    NOW you are. But did you not post as a CNA? You say 2+ years of CNA experience, yet a new nurse. You've been a member for 2+ years. I'm no math expert,
