  2. New Job: Please help me !! help needed ...

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to work77's topic in General Nursing

    You can ask for whatever you like. But know that with only a few weeks of employment under your belt, they don't HAVE to grant you anything. I too am curious how much of an emergency this is if you...

  4. New way to give shots

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to gonzo1's topic in General Nursing

    This is the ONLY "butt" shot we were taught in nursing school. I don't think your DIL is learning anything that is journal publication worthy. Is her school touting this as the very newest

  7. What do you think about managers and employees being friends on Facebook?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    I was FB friends with my old boss, while I still worked for him. He ended up deactivating his account. We still text each other for birthdays, anniversaries, etc so I had no problem accepting his...

  8. What's your dress code at work?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Nola009's topic in General Nursing

    Says who? I'm clinic, highly specialized and do many things you think only "hospital nurses"

  11. Need advice on nursing/pt relationship post discharge

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to NurseJackie87's topic in General Nursing

    Are you old enough to remember Nancy Reagan? She was famous for "just say NO". At the time it was meant for kids in reference to drugs. But I think it's transferrable to this scenario. Just say...

  13. Write ups and feeling bulling by staff

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Elan84's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    YOU may not, but how about your co-workers working with YOU? I admit it, I had a hard time following your post the way it was written! Personally, I think the "bullying" card is played too quickly,...

  16. mandatory flu shot

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Mando7475's topic in Disaster Preparation

    It's HIPAA, not HIPPA. Which is in place to protect the patient---not you, unless of course you ARE the patient. No one is being FORCED to receive a flu shot, clearly options are out there, if you...

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

  21. Students asking for free money

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to l.a.m.b's topic in General Students

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Red Kryptonite's topic in General Nursing

  25. hearing impaired

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to buffybuffy's topic in Nurse Disabilities
