    BuckyBadgerRN replied to newrn93's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    An employer can't legally dismiss someone because they told a coworker how much they make. Kind of makes "fir bidder" a ridiculous

  2. Accidentally told my coworker what I make, BIG ISSUES NOW

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to newrn93's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Stop saying "it's forbidden to discuss salaries". An employer cannot stop you from talking about this subject with others. Of course they don't want you to, but they can't dictate that you

  3. Accidentally told my coworker what I make, BIG ISSUES NOW

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to newrn93's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Lesson learned!! I'm just glad that management didn't pull the whole "you're forbidden to discuss salaries" because they can't enforce that. I agree that 2 days into a working relationship with such...

  4. Anything I can do with nursing and history degrees?

  10. Getting BSN in Philippines as U.S Citizen and come back?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to RinoDG's topic in International Nursing

    So it's just a matter of whether it's one or two losers were dealing

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

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to tenderfootjoe's topic in General Nursing

    To whom are you

  13. Seriously?? Small rant.

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to DelaneyB's topic in General Nursing

    In my state only an RN can call themselves a nurse as a stand alone. An LPN is an LPN, not a nurse

  14. destroying meds

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Emmienme's topic in Patient Medications

    At my old position, we'd double count the leftovers (someone either was discharged, med change or died) and pharm won't take back narcs. We'd crush them, dump them in kitty litter and make a slurry...

  18. got fired/terminated

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

    I've never been fired, so I've never had to answer that. My point was that the wording is usually "reason for leaving", not "have you ever been

  19. Surgical RN's Post Call Day Off??

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to QueenElisaRocks's topic in Operating Room

    I find it crazy to believe that someone is telling you that they surveyed EVERY hospital in the US (we're talking 6000 facilities) to find that yours is the ONLY call set up like this. And that...

  20. got fired/terminated

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

    "Reason for leaving" is not "were you ever terminated". Big

  21. got fired/terminated

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

    I've never completed an application that asks if I've ever been terminated from a position. I also doubt that your firing came completely out of the blue just because your preceptor was mean. That...

  22. Doctor stole my stethoscope

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to ayejay09's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Physicians are the LAST people I let touch my litmann! Chances are he/she will lay it down somewhere and someone else will walk off with

  23. Question about Cussing on the job.

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Roda dendron's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I think this would be an eye rolling event for the BON, there are much more pressing issues for them to deal with. A foul-mouthed nurse with no professionalism should be terminated perhaps, but it...

  24. Seriously?? Small rant.

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to DelaneyB's topic in General Nursing

    A little recon will serve you well here. And I highly doubt your school nurse was a CNA. Unless you were in school during
