  1. Medical Assistants in the office

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to SHELLYBELLYRN's topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    I don't believe any such thing exists. Why would any one get an AD in MA when they can get an AD as an RN? It would be wholly irresponsible for an MA to do ANYTHING that an MD asks of him/her if...

  2. PVT: Question of Character?

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

    Did you read the OP? Her "beef" is with new grads using cards that they KNOW are expired, or entering the numbers incorrectly or using a pre paid card that they know does not have the funds to cover...

  3. Can i still get a job with an ADN??

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Sparky231's topic in General Nursing

    Wow. Bad advice post of the month right

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to BuckyBadgerRN's topic in General Nursing

    Could you link that

  5. You are NOT allergic to...

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to BuckyBadgerRN's topic in General Nursing

    Sigh, if you're responding to me as the OP, you'll see that I never REMOVE an "allergy", I will however correctly call it what it is: a side effect, intolerance or contraindication. NOONE has said...

  6. PVT: Question of Character?

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

    I paid $8 straight up legit to find out "early".

  7. hiv and infections

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Toadd35's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    What did you learn in your bloodborne pathegens class? If you're in healthcare, I KNOW you had

  8. Nursing Instructors Would Rather see You Fail than Succeed

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to pat8585's topic in General Students

    Nope. NEVER have I seen this. Your success is a reflection on how well they teach. WHY would they want students to fail? It might serve to make themselves look like buffoons. It tends to be poor...

  9. PVT: Question of Character?

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

    That's cool. Prostitution is a victimless crime and it's ridiculous that pot isn't legalized in all states too. And shoplifting doesn't hurt Walmart a bit, they've got MILLIONS of dollars, they...

  10. PVT: Question of Character?

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

    Pizzes me off to no end. And I've said so in the past and gotten completely ripped apart by new grads who "see nothing wrong with

  11. New Grad, work calling on days off

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to hopemedsurg2picu's topic in General Nursing

    They call you because they know you're new and think you won't know any better. It's OK to say no and mean it, OP

  12. Note taking in class....how do you do it.

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Valcorie34's topic in General Students

    I'm old school. I would write my notes in shorthand. Like ACTUAL shorthand. And then re-write them later. I'm another one who learns by writing it down. For the young uns:...

  13. Failed a class - should I appeal??

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to ineedachange1's topic in Excelsior College

    I agree. My school was 80% for nursing classes, 78% for gen eds. NO rounding up. Really, what a ridiculous notion, I don't get it. You do the work of a 77.6, you EARN a 77.6, plain and

  14. bombed a semester?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to nurseviv30's topic in General Students

    I would like to think that by taking them over and showing what vast improvements can be made, that it would only help to bolster your admissions attempt! But I'm not a college looking over...

  15. Texas Conditional license

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to 2blvnnurse2016's topic in General Nursing

    Why would the BON decree whether or not you can attend nursing school? That seems to be a little out of their

  16. 5 years out of school is it still hopes that I can pass Nclex???

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

    I think it CAN be done. I also think it will be incredibly difficult. Like some others have said, I'd invest in a refresher class, even if your state doesn't require

  17. Failed a class - should I appeal??

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to ineedachange1's topic in Excelsior College

    My words were accurate. OP failed. This much she told us. The advice I'm offering is that she learn from it, improve her study habits, suck it up and quit looking for an easy way out by appealing...

  18. pearsonvue trick 2015 changed an hour later for me !!

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to rtt234's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    When you search the COUNTLESS previous threads here on AN, all asking the exact same thing, what did you

  19. Failed a class - should I appeal??

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to ineedachange1's topic in Excelsior College

    Your title line says it all. YOU FAILED A CLASS. By your own admission and fault. Learn from it, suck it up and retake

  20. I paid 200 dollars for pvt

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

    If only this were a cautionary tale. This post should appear as a flashing alert any time a new post begins with "PVT/HELP/DID I PASS" or any variation of

  21. LPN being scheduled to work as CNA....

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

    FORCED is a pretty strong word. I wouldn't go so far as to call it an ultimatum, but I would have a strongly worded conversation with your DON, your FINAL conversation on the topic. Explain again...

  22. Crazy Parents

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to maryel's topic in School

    The mother's statement of "good luck with his behaviors then" leads me to believe that she is sporadic in giving him the medication as

  23. The Controversy: Mandatory Flu Vaccines

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Julie Reyes's topic in General Nursing

    1)__ Do you take the flu vaccine yearly? If you do not, what is the reason you do not participate (if you don't mind answering this question)? The last 2 years were the first time I ever did. I am...

  24. plagiarism??

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to wolf9653's topic in General Nursing

    In an LTC I used to work in, weekly summaries of residents were somewhat randomly assigned by room # and shift that does them. Part of the charting was to include where they ate their meals,...

  25. Screwed Over by My School

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Brilton's topic in General Students

    Step away from the ledge, OP. Seriously. I'm quite certain that your problem was not the only one that your school was dealing with during your timeline. Turns out, there are other people who need...
