  1. No calculators allowed as an RN?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to dancediva234's topic in General Students

    Were some of her neighbors growing up dinosaurs? Because that may have been true back then, it's not now. Who in their right mind would set a patient up for a drug error because they won't "allow"...

  2. I failed Nclex 3 times in Florida. Considering taking boards in another state

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to scrubs4life0517's topic in General Students

    It sounds as though you still want to be licensed in FL, yet want to side-step what they are requiring of you to become so. While your plan may work to pass the NCLEX, FL might see that you failed to...

  3. Special Snowflake!

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to klone's topic in General Nursing

    I'd rather not see "bullying", "NETY" and "Life

  4. Associates or Bachelors??

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Xar25's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

  5. Preparing for state survey nightmare

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Khaos RN's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I remember doing my computer training in an LTC I worked in for less than a year. The activities director ( I use that term loosely) literally burst through the door and said "State. Is. HERE!" and...

  6. New nurse stuck on verge of homelessness

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Sanhect1's topic in Nursing Career

    Who are these "most people" that you speak of? Most new grads I know would be ecstatic over a job offer in their desired field, and KNOW with the nursing market the way that it is they can't afford...

  7. Is a year a year if you only work part time?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to tsm007's topic in First Year After Licensure

    When resume time came, honestly I'd put 08/01/2014--current (or whatever is applicable) and it will show one year time at that position. I don't feel it's dishonest, you HAVE been employed there for...

  8. Disciplinary Question

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to cristoloro's topic in Nurse Management

    Your polling answer options don't make sense, I can't answer on dot

  9. Becoming a nurse is no longer an option for me?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to KAThftf's topic in General Students

    If OP is 17, I'm wondering how she's in nursing school with a $5000 bill coming to her in her name? It's not like she can legally enter such a

  10. Becoming a nurse is no longer an option for me?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to KAThftf's topic in General Students

    Please lose that line of thinking right now. She clearly doesn't feel that way, and the more I read, I get the impression that you may be coming off as very juvenile in your discussions with your...

  11. Becoming a nurse is no longer an option for me?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to KAThftf's topic in General Students

    You need to get out from under your mother's thumb, stop blaming her for everything you've mentioned here and show her you can do this. It might mean taking a little time off from school so you can...

  12. Am I overstepping my boundaries? WWYD?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Velarey's topic in General Nursing

    It's been years and clearly, she isn't seeking out your friendship. I wouldn't turn what you OWE them into a baby gift of sorts. A baby giftcard should come on top of their lost

  13. Nursing as a Second Career...can I get financial aid with a graduate degree.

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to msdee69's topic in General Students

    $30,000 is still an outrageous figure for an adn degree. I didn't realize there were private schools for associate degrees. Sounds more like a for profit

  14. Nursing as a Second Career...can I get financial aid with a graduate degree.

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to msdee69's topic in General Students

    Private school for an ADN at $80,000? Sorry, but just how much business background do you have? That is an incredible amount of $. And to answer your original question, it's doubtful you'd receive...

  15. Disclose getting laid-off due to hospital finances on future job apps?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to BlankedyBlank's topic in Nursing Career

    It's not like you were terminatated because of something you did. I think you are over-thinking this. Especially to the point that you are trying to cover up the fact that the position even existed...

  16. Be honest, what pt behaviors do you find annoying?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to CrunchBerries's topic in General Nursing

    I work in clinic, the MD's here will give their speil about stopping smoking, increasing exercise, etc. I had a jerk not long ago that got all huffy and said "when is he going to quit bugging me...

  17. Am I overstepping my boundaries? WWYD?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Velarey's topic in General Nursing

    People say that to be polite, not because they truly mean it (at least in 98% of the time). Would YOU be able to forget $1,000 because of someone's ill-behaved dog? You didn't train your dog, made...

  18. Nurse Supervisor sleeps with the staff, it's bringing down morale!

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to TheLazyCNA's topic in General Nursing

    In another thread OP called a patient a "worm". Me thinks there are anger management issues at play

  19. Am I overstepping my boundaries? WWYD?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Velarey's topic in General Nursing

    In a word, YES. Yes, you would be WAY out of line to attempt to pull some strings for a former friend. Keep your nose out of her career. No doubt she'd like to earn a FNP spot on her own merits,...

  20. Arrogant "know it all" RN

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

    You may see her as a "know it all", but you have to admit, at the very least, she IS a "knows more than you" with your 6 months of experience. Just do your best to absorb the truly helpful bits of...

  21. What nursing task do you loathe???

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to richardgecko's topic in General Nursing

    I'm weird I guess. I worked in dentistry for 20+ years before going back to nursing school so I'm very used to suctioning secretions, oral cares and dentures! Don't bother me a bit

  22. What nursing task do you loathe???

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to richardgecko's topic in General Nursing

    People still play

  23. 75 questions.. Worried

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to AB1212's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    What are "higher level"

  24. failed nclex-rn x6

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

    I'll just say it. Six failures speaks volumes. Not every person who WANTS to do something gets to do it. I personally find it concerning when someone says they can't pass the minimum requirement to...

  25. Your worst nightmare

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    Not in his fantasy
