  1. Memoirs of a new grad on probation…The struggle is real out here in Cali.

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to 3rdeyeRN's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    Wow, what a roller coaster! Are you still waiting on licensure and such--did you pass the NCLEX? That is an extra stinky part that you couldn't find out your results while wading through all of...

  2. Vital Signs Skills Return Demonstration

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to apedrique's topic in General Students

    Also, another tip to follow what your instructor/textbook tells you instead of an anonymous forum. Where I work, the "normal BP" is 140/90---anything higher than that will flag in the system and...

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

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

    It takes MANY things to be a great nurse---including a LICENSE. Which cannot be granted until one passes that silly test. Your decision to spin things into a name-calling response speaks volumes...

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

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

    LOL, um until a person passes the NCLEX, they are NOT a nurse. There's no way around that

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

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Elan84's topic in General Nursing

    Another thought as I re-read, are you the same poster who complained that you were being bullied, in reference to these write ups? Is your manager saying you have to resign or be

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

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Elan84's topic in General Nursing

    In reading the OP's posts, I have a strong hunch that English is not his/her first language. OP, is it possible that this is somewhat of a barrier to your problems in your current

  7. Vital Signs Skills Return Demonstration

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to apedrique's topic in General Students

    Um, please realize now that sex has nothing to do with how loud a person's BP is. I have little ol' ladies that have practically busted my eardrums and college level athletes who's sounds were...

  8. Gel Nails

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to er.mere's topic in General Nursing

    Dang, Tex---I came here to like a thousand times what you wrote BEFORE your

  9. Gel Nails

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to er.mere's topic in General Nursing

    I don't believe there is any such thing. Fingernails carry germs---regardless of how pretty they look. It's just a matter of how many get trapped when you bring polish into the

  10. Photo on your resume?

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

    Maybe for all the wrong reasons. You're not applying for America's Next Top Model, leave the picture off is my

  11. How many graduates were in your graduating class?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to micheleC's topic in General Nursing

    My very first Saturday skills class started with 22 people. By the time we finished 4 years later there were 4 of that original group. Some dropped, some failed, some stopped at the halfway point...

  12. Gel Nails

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to er.mere's topic in General Nursing

    Here we go again! I'm not sure why threads like this get started and fed. If your employer sets a policy in place, you just abide by it! Why the need to dissect it on a forum such as this, like...

  13. Will this affect my license.

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Capp's topic in General Nursing

    Oh yeah, no. I'll bet my firstborn that they were there from the department that regulates nursing homes in your state. They do yearly inspections here, follow ups as needed--based on complaints,...

  14. Where to find the "Good" RN jobs?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to martenla's topic in Nursing Career

    Yes, quite honestly, I think you

  15. Where to find the "Good" RN jobs?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to martenla's topic in Nursing Career

    Everyone's definition of "good" is subjective though---keep that in

  16. huge moral problem - need help!

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to shaken-stirred's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Yeah. Stop that line of thinking. You're playing with fire and you WILL get burned if you don't figure out where to draw the line. Giving out your number? Ranks right up there in the top 3 of...

  17. Mean Nursing Instructor

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to beckvolvo's topic in General Students

    I had a classmate get a critical (written up) for wearing a baseball cap to lecture. NOT clinical, lecture. Instructor said it was unprofessional. Um, there is no dresscode for lecture, student...

  18. I need to interview two or more RNs.

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to ydama0002's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    WHA?! In my very best minion voice. What exactly are your 6 years of CNA/EMT experience

  19. I need to interview two or more RNs.

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to ydama0002's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    You know how pedophiles think they're talking to a pre-pubescent 10 year old online, when in all acuality, it's a balding 55 year old cop with a paunch? Yeah, you never know what you'll get online!...

  20. Wear gloves during assessment?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to future_nurse11's topic in General Nursing

    I work in clinic. Specialty. Not much oozing or bleeding here unless we create it

  21. Nurse who survived Ebola is suing the hospital

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to anon456's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Can't say I didn't see THIS

  22. Anyone heard any reason gel polish is worse than regular polish??

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Nola009's topic in General Nursing

    Wow. Really? Why the need for polish at work at all? Solves the problem and belly

  23. Drunk and high students at clinical

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to PerkyNurse55's topic in General Students

    It's getting better and better! Something smells off, sorry. Even my 9 year old would be able to tell you that 80% of a group is impaired. You really want us to believe that an entire L&D unit...

  24. Since I can't see myself as how others see me...

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to MPKH's topic in General Nursing

    Well, that's why you've been told about the complaints filed against you. You now have the information, it's up to you to improve your attitude towards coworkers. Don't fixate on the fact that maybe...

  25. I wish RN schools would quit teaching the RN students LPN's can't do anything!

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

    I find that a little bit scary. Sorry. You can teach a monkey how to do a blood sugar, but do we? Its not just performing the skills. It's the education that rn's have that an lpn doesn't. Oh,...
