  1. I'm a sexless nurse

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    Until you push a 10 pound baby out of "down there", you have no idea what a vunerable position

  2. I'm a sexless nurse

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    Your lack of professionalism on SO many levels is baffling. Honestly, you sound like the type of nurse who doesn't want to do their fair share. If everyone played the "sex" card in every...

  3. Sexy male scrubs

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Betenhauser's topic in Men in Nursing

    Um yeah. Most young nurses can't be bothered to hem their pants so they aren't all nasty chewed up looking on the bottoms, NOONE I know is getting them tailored to show off their 25 year old,...

  4. Sexy male scrubs

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Betenhauser's topic in Men in Nursing

    An account created just so you can poll how best to make your EX jealous of your new look? Wow, AN has sunk to a new low. Where has professionalism gone? I sure do miss

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to bugya90's topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    One of the techs in our office broke a bone in her foot snowboarding and clumped around in a boot for several weeks. She did just

  6. so, what happens next?

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

    Take a cue from the report you are receiving. Is it enough information? Do you find yourself having to go digging for more because what you got in shift change wasn't enough? Give the kind of report...

  7. medical assistant

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to 2bnursenadia30's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Are MA's licensed in your state? Here it's a certification, like

  8. medical assistant

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to 2bnursenadia30's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You're right. HOWEVER, it is against the TOS here on AN to use a title you haven't earned in a user name or in the alphabet soup following a user

  9. Been there, done that RN Students: Rent or Buy

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to besrey's topic in General Students

    I bought all of my last year of books from a friend who was graduating for less than $100. I'm a huge hi-lighter, so renting was never an option for me,

  10. Why become a Hospital PCT/PCA/CNA while in NS?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Themostsupreme's topic in General Students

    I specifically said CNA's. CNA's aren't typically qualified to do lab draws and

  11. Why become a Hospital PCT/PCA/CNA while in NS?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Themostsupreme's topic in General Students

    CNA's don't typically do blood draws. Or EKG's. But it IS real world experience and you will learn great bedside manner (hopefully) and get a feel for really assessing a patient from head to toe...

  12. Getting Frustrated

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to 2bNurseMia76's topic in General Students

    Wow, seriously? Yet another new account with a poster making ridiculous comments like this. There has to be something in the

  13. Quit during orientation

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Themostsupreme's topic in General Students

    Hold that thought. You're going to think the same thing once you're working as an RN. Assuming you ever get hired for a job that isn't beneath

  14. Pay grade: experienced nurse vs new grad

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to rehric00's topic in General Nursing

    Why does your hospital hire nurses that don't know how to start an

  15. Quit during orientation

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Themostsupreme's topic in General Students

    With this mentality, good luck getting a job at ANY hospital. Best to work on your poker

  16. Calling in treats for unit when home sick?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to MIRN923's topic in General Nursing

    Bring some treats in when your feeling better and back to work as a thank you. Bonus----you get to enjoy them then too

  17. Assisstance Requested

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Ivancruz75's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Your local hospital will have nurses in all of those roles---go ahead and give them a call to arrange a face to face interview! Might even open some doors for you when the job-hunting season is upon...

  18. medical assistant

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to 2bnursenadia30's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Why would you go to nursing school? According to your user name, you're already a

  19. medical assistant

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to 2bnursenadia30's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hmmmmm, been here for less than a month, 5 posts. A BSN who doesn't mind if MA's and CNA's call themselves nurses. I call

  20. Any input is greatly appreciated

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to wisconsin89's topic in General Nursing

    Do not base your career choices on hearsay. This includes "there is a nursing shortage". "They are changing the laws and by XX year ALL RN's will have to be BSN's or they won't have jobs". "LPN's...

  21. Has anyone passed Nclex in 180+ questions?

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

    I did. I passed my LVN at 85 questions. Then came the RN. Eeeesh. I remember just wishing it would shut off already to put me out of my misery! I know I was well over 200 when the screen finally...

  22. School issue

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to meagannicole224's topic in General Students

    We had 3 pharm math quizzes with each clinical rotation. Six clinicals means 18 math tests. You had to pass them all at 80%. If you didn't, you could take a makeup quiz, but that one HAD to be...

  23. Dismissed from Program (Venting)

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to MusicEMT's topic in General Students

    In reading some of your other posts, it seems like you had plenty of self-awareness about your ability to pass your nursing classes. That you recognized there was a problem, yet it still got the best...

  24. ADN vs BSN Battle

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Mommy_RN1211's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    YOU used the word "luxury", not me. We are talking about the care provided to patients, no? You are essentially saying that only a BSN educated nurse can provide quality care? I have nothing to be...

  25. BE HONEST! What part of your job do you hate?

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

    Maybe the CNA had an "attitude" b/c the nurse wouldn't help someone to the
