  1. I am NOT a Nurse...

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to GoofyBlondeChic's topic in General Nursing

    Ummmmm.....I believe the OP has come back and changed some identifying details.

  2. I am NOT a Nurse...

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to GoofyBlondeChic's topic in General Nursing

    In some states, yes. In WI, an LPN may not call themselves a NURSE. They HAVE to call themselves a LICENSED PRACTICAL NURSE. Don't ask me why. Go ahead and ask me how many LPN's say "I'm the...

  3. I am NOT a Nurse...

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to GoofyBlondeChic's topic in General Nursing

    I knew I was a nurse when I passed the NCLEX and saw my name on my states BON website. But I didn't FEEL like a nurse until I received my first paycheck working AS a

  4. The HARD Truth for most nurses

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Humaneclowninscrubs's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I knew

  5. The HARD Truth for most nurses

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Humaneclowninscrubs's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Hey wait a minute! I work clinic---who said it was

  6. The HARD Truth for most nurses

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Humaneclowninscrubs's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Wow OP. SO many things wrong with what you're saying (not just grammar and context either!) Staying in a career you clearly hate so you don't look like a quitter is not the answer. You sound very...

  7. Passed with 122 questions on second try!! Read me!

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to GinabinaRN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Unless you fail the NCLEX. In my state you can only call yourself a nurse if you are an RN who has just graduated or passed the NCLEX---you lose the privilege of calling yourself a graduate nurse if...

  8. How many times can a person repeat NCLEX?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to UlisseApache's topic in Nurse Registration

  9. About the "do not crush" medications

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Sam. W's topic in General Nursing

    Reminds me of the cutest 95 year old gentleman who got "that" horsepill every morning. He "liked" it dissolved in his morning coffee "makes it taste like a ***** though" he'd say! He would take his...

  10. Complaint on my cna license about alleged marijuana abuse from state board. Help!

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Mistake1234's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    To be fair, I don't believe that in AZ CNA's hold a license--it's a certificate, no? So it's not like there would be a record of an action against any license you currently have. I'm going to bite my...

  11. Is this a VALID reason to terminate someone?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to lllenjolll's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I'm still waiting to learn what in the heck OP thinks her discrimination claim would be based

  12. FLAME ON!

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to trinitymaster's topic in General Nursing

    Ha! I posted on that thread to point out that regardless of what op proclaimed, a person is not a nurse unless they pass nclex. Was told to keep my negativity away

  13. Are Nurses First Responders?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to ScrubADub12's topic in General Nursing

    There's a WORLD of difference between a nurse and a first responder. My DH is a police officer, trained as a first responder. He arrives FIRST on the scene of 911 calls. Not nurses, not even flight...

  14. Fired for following orders

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to shmedium's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    Saying "I only did it because my boss (the RN) told me to" is not a valid "excuse". You KNEW that you had no business performing this procedure, the fact that everyone thought it would go well and it...

  15. Fired for following orders

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to shmedium's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    I agree, completely. But on lists listing such information, USVI and Guam were considered as

  16. Nursing assistant interview - clothing advice

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

    "Always dress for the job you want, not the one you have". Now, you have to tweak this a BIT since you're interviewing for the job, but I fully believe a suit is the way to go over "business

  17. Fired for following orders

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to shmedium's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    It's bad enough that the myth of "there's a nursing shortage" is perpetuated freely, please don't let this one get out of hand too!! Seriously. I work in the state where nurses are paid the worst...

  18. Bullying

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to LisalaRN99's topic in General Nursing

    Are you serious?! In what way, shape or form can you consider this as lateral violence?! Man there are some scary ash people in our

  19. NCLEX- how many attempts is too many?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to dinah77's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    You make it sound like maybe there's a little bit of a nursing shortage right now and weeding out those who can't pass a minimum competency exam in less than a half dozen times would ADD to that...

  20. Did you work fulltime in nursing program?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Infofreak411's topic in General Nursing

    I went PT, nights/weekends for double the usual amount of time. Worked FT, ran EMS part time, wife, mother to 4 including a

  21. Bullying

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to LisalaRN99's topic in General Nursing

    That's not how it works. I FEEL fat and bloated right now, but my scale says I'm not. A person having an MI FEELS like an elephant is sitting on their chest. I've yet to escort Dumbo out of the

  22. Bullying

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to LisalaRN99's topic in General Nursing

    Childish? Yes. Bullying? Absolutely not. I'm beginning to think the word "bullying" is like the word "ironic". People use it all the time and RARELY use it

  23. Passed with 122 questions on second try!! Read me!

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to GinabinaRN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I looked for you. You have to make 15 posts before you're allowed to PM another AN

  24. Forced to resign, new grad with only 1 year of experinece.

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Elan84's topic in General Nursing

    They could be checking emails, looking up something online that is related to a patient (a correct lab value perhaps?), verifying spelling of a medication? Any number of things that you are not...

  25. Passed with 122 questions on second try!! Read me!

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to GinabinaRN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    OP, you can't PM anyone until you've made x number of posts. I can't recall the magic number, but was spelled out for you before you clicked the "I agree" button when you registered to join
