  5. Who takes the med error hit?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to BuckyBadgerRN's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    You've read between the lines far deeper than I have, Alta. I'm new to the facility (it was my second shift on orientation) and am learning their "systems", hence my

  6. Who takes the med error hit?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to BuckyBadgerRN's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Um, I'm sorry----where did I use the phrase "threats of discipline"? Or even the WORD discipline? I was curious as to on which staff members shoulders the problem would be attributed to, you've...

  7. Unwanted transition

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to TSL7286's topic in General Nursing

    I didn't read that response as defensive. If I was the out/returning nurse on FMLA, I would hope that my position would be there as I expected when I returned from my

  9. HELP! failed pre-reqs

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to stacylethani's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I can't believe they won't allow a re-take. What school isn't HAPPY to take your money

  10. Job Hopper, concerned

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

    Um, how many RN applications have you completed? Every one I've done has asked for ALL previous employment. Respectfully, you do not know what you're speaking about on this

  11. Job Hopper, concerned

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

    And then they will look at her age and think "hmmmm, she looks to be under 45---she might want to get pregnant again and hey, that's a good enough reason to quit a job, she's said so herself!" Do you...

  12. Job Hopper, concerned

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

    Oh boy. Seriously? You plan to leave off your LPN experience when it comes time to apply for RN positions? The field is SO competitive, you are going to want to be throwing that nursing experience...

  14. Who takes the med error hit?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to BuckyBadgerRN's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Yes, this exactly---clearly much better said here,

  15. Who takes the med error hit?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to BuckyBadgerRN's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    And that's a great question. As all of this was happening on the weekend and the d/c'ing MD was not the one would was assuming his care in skilled nursing, I'm thinking no, BUT I can't be 100%

  16. one side love problem between student nurse and doctor

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to chinglee's topic in General Students

    Really? Illegal? Can you post the statute in state laws that prohibit this? Is it a misdemeanor or full-fledged felony? It's unethical as all get out, but I think you're reaching to say it's...

  17. one side love problem between student nurse and doctor

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to chinglee's topic in General Students

    You're not 14 anymore. Be a big girl and finish nursing school because that's what YOU want FOR you. I'm three posts in and shaking my head very sadly and slowly for you,

  18. Vital Signs Skills Return Demonstration

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to apedrique's topic in General Students

    If I'm reading your latest question correctly, there is only one way to set up a sterile field. When you put your gloves on is generally not optional. I set up a dozen sterile fields a day--there is...

  19. To tell or not to tell!

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

  20. To tell or not to tell!

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

    I wouldnt. If you don't have names/proof you are going to come off in a very bad light. Talking to your manager WITH names will put you in a different kind of bad light. Just

  23. Being Bullied

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

    Personally, I think that a majority of those posters are VERY quick to play the bully card. And it's not always true bullying that is

  24. Bombed my first interview!!

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to NurseRose84's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I totally blew my very first phone interview fresh out of nursing school. When HR called after reviewing my app/resume, she caught me completely off-guard when she asked if we could do a phone...

  25. I am NOT a Nurse...

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to GoofyBlondeChic's topic in General Nursing

    Hey, I don't make the rules/laws! I can't explain a LOT of what happens in this state anymore (although I doubt this silly example of semantics is hardly a new
