  1. I failed out of Nursing School... Appealed and WON!!

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to ToBeBornANurseJB's topic in General Students

    Then I will take the high road and not correct the multitude of spelling/grammar errors in your post. The problem with forums such as this is that her intent is open to interpretation, and people have...

  2. family members working in the same hospital and exact same unit

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

    Why on Earth would it be an illegal move? Do you REALLY think that the hospital would put themselves into a situation that smacks of an illegal act? Sounds as though your brother has some issues,...

  3. I failed out of Nursing School... Appealed and WON!!

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to ToBeBornANurseJB's topic in General Students

    I can only hope that the reason OP hasn't been back with her tail tucked neatly between her knees is that she is busy studying her cute little socks off for her final

  4. I failed out of Nursing School... Appealed and WON!!

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to ToBeBornANurseJB's topic in General Students

    I know you're looking for congratulations, but, I can't help but think if you'd put as much time into doing the work required to pass the classes in the first place (or time spent thinking your BSN...

  5. Verbally, mentally & emotionally abused by patient where do I turn.

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

    This guy is an azz because people allow him to be

  6. I was reported for something I didnt actually do. Help.

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to LisaF0115's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    I would leave my phone in my car, don't even take it in the building. As far as texting your ci when you're ready to do a skill? Unless that phone is school issued, no way. I would not be giving my...

  7. Verbally, mentally & emotionally abused by patient where do I turn.

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

    Boom, big red light there. It is not common for a resident to go through several LTC facilities---there is a REASON for it and someone at your facility was so eager to fill a bed that they didn't do...

  8. Calling yourself an RN

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

    I'd totally blame Walker, but these were rules in place LONG before his reign of

  9. Calling yourself an RN

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

    Again, a WI fluke, but if you are a WI resident, educated in WI and practicing in WI, you do NOT need to sit for the bar exam. It's called diploma privleges---you can google it. We're a crazy state,...

  10. Calling yourself an RN

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

    I have to throw it in, again. In WI, an LPN CANNOT call themselves a "nurse", stand alone. They HAVE to say "I'm an LPN". Crazy, I

  11. Crazy clinicals instructor doesn't like us using the restroom?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to JESSICAAA159's topic in General Students

    I'm thinking that too. Just deciding which side of the story I'm naming the bird as the mascot

  12. Can we just agree, being honest is not akin to being "rude"?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to SmilingBluEyes's topic in General Nursing

    Hmmmm, I am using the app and when I hit reply the first time, the disclaimer is clearly there. When I hit reply again in order to make your post appear along with my response, it

  13. Can we just agree, being honest is not akin to being "rude"?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to SmilingBluEyes's topic in General Nursing

    To be fair, text speak is against TOS, and it's more than rude to use it here---it's in direct violation of the rules of the site. And it's not even like it was buried in terms, lingo and jibber...

  14. How to prove nurse looked up my medical record

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Marmolada's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    Curious as all get out: OP, are you a nurse? Or even in healthcare at

  15. Can we just agree, being honest is not akin to being "rude"?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to SmilingBluEyes's topic in General Nursing

    Which is AWESOME. BUT, are they able to take constructive feedback that isn't ego-stroking (bordering on heiney-kissing? Thanking them for the opportunity to get to work with them?) The younger...

  16. Can we just agree, being honest is not akin to being "rude"?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to SmilingBluEyes's topic in General Nursing

    Farawyn---get used to this new term, it is used a LOT

  17. Can we just agree, being honest is not akin to being "rude"?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to SmilingBluEyes's topic in General Nursing

    I think it will only escalate, as the generation of "everyone gets a trophy just for showing up" matures and enters the workforce---including nursing. Lots and lots of entitled princes and princesses...

  18. Loan forgiveness options? Help!

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to kaimkaim's topic in General Nursing

    I did receive a loan, all set up while I was in nursing school, that would forgive a % of my loan if I worked in my state for X number of months following graduation. The % was based on how long you...

  19. English (Career) Assignment

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to AshleyC2015's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Oh Ashley. We understand what you're asking for. You're not understanding what you're being told. Go find a REAL person, with a REAL name. Surely there are real nurses where you live? Why not...

  20. HELP! Prohibited from practicing

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to .Illinois.Lady.'s topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    They asked if you were arrested? And you answered "no" even though you had indeed been arrested? I'm a little

  21. RNs!!!! Did you fail Any classes???

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to dinah77's topic in General Nursing

    Pass rate for my school was 80% for nursing, 78% if you were in another program. Our A&P instructor went to the mat for nursing students, the school wanted his pass/fail rate to match what the...

  22. Anyone working non healthcare job during finding employment as RN?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to LS1984's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Oh boy. Yeah, unacceptable. Her heiney needs to get out of that rent-free room and start bringing in some moolah! Does she feel its beneath her to accept a non-nursing

  23. glove allergy

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to sherone's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Not the answer you're looking for, but quite frankly, facing the possibility of blistered and oozing skin would make me feel a whole lot less passionate about
