  4. Wrongful Termination?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to MEANNRS's topic in General Nursing

    Well, that explains a lot---the Coumadin error was probably the reason they were looking for. Sounds like you should secretly be thankful, a tiny bit? I'm sorry it all happened

  5. Can't get into my RN Program because of Obamacare

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to LCNYC's topic in New York Nursing

  8. Why don't you just read the chart?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Guest219794's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    We are being consulted NOW, as they realize that they have no idea what we actually need. I'm in the busiest, most profitable specialty in the entire clinic. Cerner's prior experience in writing for...

  9. Are you really not a "real nurse" unless you work in acute care?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to tenderfootjoe's topic in General Nursing

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Guest219794's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Ack! I'm clinic, going from McKesson to Cerner. It's a nightmare. Were too big for McKesson to support anymore and Cerner has never written a program for such a large clinic with so many...

  12. Take this job and shove it!

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to TTK RN's topic in General Nursing

    I didn't have an exit interview when I left my FT LTC position. Frankly I think they were afraid of the responses they'd get!! The facility was BLEEDING RN's, I'm sure management knew exactly why...

  13. The Wisdom of Lurking

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Ruby Vee's topic in General Nursing

    That was one I actually "got in" on!! Usually I start reading those threads and formulate a kick azz response in my head, start scrolling down to the "reply" button and see nothing but "like". My...

  14. Heel slipping in nursing clogs

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to SaraAN's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    It sounds like they fit right then. I love my Danskos, my heel certainly slips, but I don't "clunk" when I walk. Maybe a bit of a learning

  16. HIPPA Violation Question: Triage

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to abundantjoy07's topic in Emergency

  17. Old wives tales

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to SDALPN's topic in Private Duty

    I worked in dentistry for many years before going back to nursing school. About once a year we'd see someone for a toothache, with a curious ulcerated area on the tissue near the tooth. Because...

  20. Help with a school assignment

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to napolis1's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

  21. Help with a school assignment

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to napolis1's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Did you do ANY research on AN regarding this topic before creating an account and blindly asking any ol' yutz who may or may not be a nurse? I'm sure the cut and paste standard answer is below, as...

  22. New Grad...Is this typical?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to MeganStar's topic in General Nursing

    I find that to be so sad. I graduated as an ADN, we had a CRAP TON of hands on experience. I probably got to start at least 75 IV's, a handful of urinary catheters, got to hang blood twice and lots...

  23. Why don't you just read the chart?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Guest219794's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Up until just a few months ago, our ER used a completely different charting system than the rest of the hospital. Crazy? Yes. The entire hospital used EPIC, the ER was phased in last. If you had...

    Depending on your crime. It is unfair to tell prospective nurses that the first charge is automatically dismissed because you attend a class. This varies by charge and from state to state, even...
