  1. whats for lunch

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to mvm2's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not sure that NOADLS is speaking of the OP specifially. More that it was a play on the oft used tired phrase that nurses eat

  2. Thoughts on nurses who graduate nursing school calling themselves nurses before the NCLEX

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to pmabraham's topic in General Students

  3. Late for work excuses

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    You were fortunately not buckled?! That's a typo,

  4. Didn't follow through and caused med error

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Fishingaround's topic in General Nursing

    I think your outcome will depend on what your PREVIOUS two counselings were for. Were they med-related as

  5. do you wear a watch?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to mamabear1's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Why are there no vitals taken in your ltc? Is it not standard of care? and if it's not allowed, why do you openly admit to carrying your phone? At my main job, we are not allowed to be playing on...

  6. do you wear a watch?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to mamabear1's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I have several cheapy watches, a watch is a must in my position. I do carry my phone in a side pant pocket, we're not supposed to have them out at work, but in our pod we use ours for calendars...

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to RNforhire's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    Sorry, it was up to your friend to "lose the VA mentality", he lost that job on his

  8. Help! I have to precept a new grad who already knows it all....but not really.

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to GOMER-RN's topic in General Nursing

    Would you believe about 3 sentences in while reading your OP, I said to myself "I'll bet this new nurse is a guy". Just a gut

  9. Failing Nursing School Over One Class?!!

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Britgirl1's topic in General Students

    Wow. You started off saying your instructor hated you and failed you. Then as time went on, you admitted that you straight up just ditched your last two clinicals and THAT'S what failed you. I'm...

  10. Failing Nursing School Over One Class?!!

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Britgirl1's topic in General Students

    SERIOUSLY?! Just what kind of career DO you think exists where you don't have to own up to mistakes or correct

  11. Is getting my RN at a technical college a bad idea?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to DanielStern's topic in General Students

    That's news to me!!! I've never heard before what you just said here. Maybe it's regional, but certainly is not the case around

  12. Lowest turnover specialty

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to guest769224's topic in General Nursing

    I'm in ophthalmology, fairly new to the dept, but the staff that is here is very long term--we're talking 30+

  13. If you decided to be a RN, think again..

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to kate_ibl's topic in General Students

    It looks as though OP joined and created an account JUST to share her experience. I predict s/he won't be back to counter every valid argument made against the multiple claims made in that bit of...

  14. Nursing license

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Nursing5000's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    That's just it. You won't be allowed to practice as a nurse since you won't have a license since you don't have a degree. I'm confused as to how you got an att without completing college and I'm...

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to CraigB-RN's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Again, would you please name some of these famous REAL

  16. Thoughts on nurses who graduate nursing school calling themselves nurses before the NCLEX

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to pmabraham's topic in General Students

    I've posted this before as well. If you are a Wisconsin resident, educated in law in WI and practice law in WI, you do NOT need to take the bar exam, yet you may call yourself AND practice as a...

  17. Thoughts on nurses who graduate nursing school calling themselves nurses before the NCLEX

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to pmabraham's topic in General Students

    I've read it elsewhere that says LPN's cannot refer to themselves as a stand alone nurse. Trust me, I LIVE her and was educated here, while, forgive me if I'm wrong, it seems you do not. I will try...

  18. Thoughts on nurses who graduate nursing school calling themselves nurses before the NCLEX

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to pmabraham's topic in General Students

    Ha--the whole darn state is a harsh place!!! Watch out during the next elections,

  19. Ethics question.

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to CraigB-RN's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    The names kind of DO matter. Who are these nursing stars? I want to know if I should be idolizing them!! Seriously though, I've NEVER heard the term you're using here----are you the proud inventor?...

  20. Who takes the med error hit?

    BuckyBadgerRN posted a topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Interesting situation, just curious as to public opinion on where fault lies. Going to keep it vague for obvious reasons. I'm orienting to a new LTC/Rehab facility, so not directly involved. New...

  21. Patient Scenario and D/C home

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to alm3RN's topic in Emergency

    I'm wondering why he wasn't following up with PCP? Only ER? Sick for 3 days and comes to ER? Then again to ER, not his PCP? I'm just thinking that his PCP might have caught things b/c he knows...

  22. What is the worst case of bullying you've seen in your nursing career?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Guest878640's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to truckinusa's topic in Male Nursing Students

    For nurses. Maybe the name of the public website should change it's

  24. Male student enters OB room. What do you think?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to truckinusa's topic in Male Nursing Students

    She should stay why? She straight up says she does not want men caring for her. Will not allow most of the staff of her personal physician interact with her in any way. Has stated that people with...

  25. When did this trend start??

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to mmc51264's topic in General Nursing

    Was not allowed where I graduated. As someone else said, the ceremony is not the time for such nonsense, that's for the party afterwards! I also have to comment on those that said "we were told not...
