  1. Why do some nurses come across to be rude?

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

    Can I like just the last sentence of this

  2. Why do some nurses come across to be rude?

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

    Mathboy, why are you here? You're not a nurse, or seemingly connected in anyway to healthcare (aside from being an inappropriate user of ER's)? Seriously, can't the mods block people like this troll...

  3. Why do some nurses come across to be rude?

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

    I think some may think "cultural" when you refer to yourself as a "colored person" I shudder to think what would happen if others used those words. Are you a nurse, in nursing school or in the...

  4. 7 Social Media Posts That Will Destroy Your Nursing Career Before It Begins!

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Michael M. Heuninckx's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I've never "cleaned up" my social media accounts, because quite frankly, I'm smart enough not to do those things in the first place, LOL!! I'd be happy if #4 were a priority here

  5. Legal responsibility to perform CPR?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to smellslikesarah's topic in General Nursing

    That story makes me so mad---in every story they did on it, it was said that a NURSE REFUSED to do CPR on this resident and they died. It wasn't a flipping nurse who refused to do

  6. Just a couple questions...

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to KcDawn's topic in General Students

    Did you use the words from the get go "hey guys, this was posed to me as assignement question, here are my thoughts, does anyone care to share theirs with me?" But no, you had a whole back story...

  7. Just a couple questions...

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to KcDawn's topic in General Students

    Oh man!!! I didn't recognize the name from that thread!!! I am, however not a total idiot and read THIS post as an assignment right away. I wish OP's school would catch what she's doing

  8. Just a couple questions...

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to KcDawn's topic in General Students

    Yawn. Homework. Just say so

  9. Who establishes the rules

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to quizzical's topic in General Nursing

    Oh boy, the op came back, I got excited! And then, I read her post. I'm on my phone and all I could think was "I'll never get to respond point by point!" Alas, i don't have to, the many eloquent...

  10. Male and Gay?!

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to kingvonnBSN2017's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I work with a male gay nurse, he is a hoot, I LOVE when we're on the schedule together. I've never heard a resident ever say a word about his orientation, everyone loves him

  11. Passing cut offs

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to vonricter222's topic in General Students

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to TexTart's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    What's that I smell? A short, grumpy creature normally known to habitate under bridges? (Or internet web boards) Why yes I

  14. Who establishes the rules

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to quizzical's topic in General Nursing

    Why does it matter? My DH is a police officer, it is standard procedure to use the back of the hand when "frisking" a female detainee. THAT was most certainly brought about by the litigatious...

  15. NCLEX Before Graduation

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to MedicalPartisan's topic in General Students

    Um, why aren't YOU looking for the answers on YOUR states BON website? You're getting good advice here, but shoot it down pretty quickly. Make it easy on yourself and see what your state

  16. Starting nursing school in three weeks, what am I forgetting?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Chelonophile's topic in General Students

    As an ophthalmology RN, I'm curious as to what kind of eye chart they are requiring you to

  17. Nursing school too hard on purpose?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to fangirl's topic in General Students

    My sons are marked down if they forget papers to turn in or needed classmaterials are left in their lockers. On the report cards, it comes under life skills. They are in 3rd and 6th grade and THEY...

  18. Nursing school too hard on purpose?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to fangirl's topic in General Students

  20. Passing cut offs

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to vonricter222's topic in General Students

    Gen Ed's at my school were 78%, nursing classes are 80%. My A&P/micro teacher was known as "the gatekeeper" b/c if you couldn't get by him with a 78%, no way were you going to make it in nursing...

  21. Anyone w/ multiple criminal charges read!

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Omegaseamaster's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    Just an FYI, in some states, "blowing" a 0.08 on your first offense is considered the "magic" number. Subsequent offenses may have a lower threshold for tolerance, hence the example of your 0.06...

  22. Locked out of the time clock..

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

    I'm in WI too, and last year my license renewal wasn't showing up on the website, for what seemed like forever. I just showed my DON the printed proof that I had paid and it was all good. I'm in a...

  23. DNR and Hospice

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to hppygr8ful's topic in General Nursing

    That's what happens when people read your initial post, the first couple pages of outraged responses (pile on, or not) and don't stick it through til the

  24. That nagging feeling...

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to dudette10's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I was an EMT for just shy of 20 years. ANY time a patient looked me in the eye and said "I'm going to die", I uttered "oh sheet" in my head and told whomever was driving that they'd better not...

  25. I failed my preemployment drug test :/ what now...?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Juankiters08's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Oh trust me, the judging started from post one when you said you're a licensed nurse who enjoys the inhalation of illegal drugs. Your suggestions on how to "beat" the test and family advice to use...
