  1. Fellow nurses...does this make sense?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to desert_MP's topic in General Nursing

    And boom. Right there is where you derailed for me. Up until this point my thought was "we're (and maybe you) aren't getting the complete

  2. My turn to share--I beat NCLEX

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

    Exactly. People BEAT cancer. OP, and the rest of us nurses, passed the standard test that decides if we should be granted a license or not. Nothing

  3. Backing out of a Contract

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to happymedium's topic in Travel

    Yikes. OP, you seem to have an no for every suggestion offered. What about this contract appealed to you to begin

  5. patient abandonment

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to conway1's topic in General Nursing

    I'm thinking one had to be available by phone, though, no? I'm so sorry for your loss. But, you did in fact leave without a replacement nurse that accepted assignment from you. I'd certainly be...

  7. FLAME ON!

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to trinitymaster's topic in General Nursing

    Yup, along with "does anyone know how long after I last smoked weed it can show up in a urine test?!" Please help me, I'm freaking

  8. FLAME ON!

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to trinitymaster's topic in General Nursing

    I have some stupid charges against me from dumb stuff that I did as a kid that I was advised to plead guilty to to make it go away so I did. (run on sentence usually part of these posts). But now I...

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to trinitymaster's topic in General Nursing

    To whom are you

  10. FLAME ON!

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to trinitymaster's topic in General Nursing

    It's an extra day of waiting, usually. Save the $8---paying it doesn't change the outcome of what they've already

  11. FLAME ON!

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to trinitymaster's topic in General Nursing

    HA! Don't post this opinion on anybody's post who recommends doing it! The students/new nurses, the majority is seems, don't see anything unethical about it at all. Which is disgusting and...

  12. FLAME ON!

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to trinitymaster's topic in General Nursing

    Now it's all about putting in an expired CC# or using a GC visa card with no money left on it. Personally, I think that's as unethical as h#%$, but I'm apparently in the minority on

  13. Fired again

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to NurseCard's topic in Home Health

    Except OP didn't call in because she was sick. She thought it was too cold to go

  14. FLAME ON!

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to trinitymaster's topic in General Nursing

    What state is easiest for me to pass the NCLEX in? I'll take the exam there and then get my license endorsed to California, where I REALLY want to work and

  15. FLAME ON!

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to trinitymaster's topic in General Nursing

    Why can't I find a job? I thought there was a nursing

  16. why do nurses need to be licensed?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Infofreak411's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    To add to your arguement, for my own entertainment purposes, in Wisconsin, a person who is a resident of the state, educated in the state and planning to practice in the state need not take the bar...

  17. (IN)Appropriate Dress

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to trinitymaster's topic in General Nursing

    It would be up to skylark to clarify, but I'm not sure she is "on your side" in this

  18. (IN)Appropriate Dress

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to trinitymaster's topic in General Nursing

    LOL, you seem to be the only one

  19. What would you have done?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to chicago_RN's topic in Home Health

    Your patient pretty much refused your offer of an ambulance--which is her right to do. I wouldn't beat myself up over it. A five minute trip isn't going to allow for much fluid replenishment via IV...

  20. Mispronunciations That Drive You Nuts

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    I work in ophthalmology and have had more than one person tell me about their "vasectomy" done on their eye. Males and females! Turns out they mean

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    Prostrate for prostate. I work with a tech who says "warsh" for wash. "Hang on a minute, just let me warsh my hands". I hear it a

  22. Nurses req. to be CNA's before becoming a Nurse?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Phoenix16, RN's topic in General Nursing

    Here are my thoughts. Your idea is a good one in theory, but what you've laid out will go one of three ways: 1) Prospective student will get certified, interview, land job, get trained, work your...

  23. (IN)Appropriate Dress

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to trinitymaster's topic in General Nursing

    Wow, you've got pretty strong opinions about what others wear. Honestly, I don't think ONE person dressing "inappropriately", by YOUR definition, is enough to undermine an entire profession. Yes, I...

  24. Not sure if i passed Nclex

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

    It was the "nurse" part of the user name I was speaking if. I'm quite aware of how the holding of a degree works, thank

  25. If you can't pass the NCLEX after three attempts....LVN license only!
