    BuckyBadgerRN replied to janders2003's topic in Patient Medications

    My advice is that you never ever do this yourself for starters!! Just how much time was this med set up going to take? Does the client know that this nurse did this? Do you have a supervisor that...

  5. Can I lose my license???

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Staceyface65's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    We're being punked, right? You definitely deserved to be fired if this is true, maybe stripped of your license too. You need an order to start an IV on someone right? Did you have an order? I'm...

  6. Healthcare gadgets--- Where DID that name come from?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to nurseprnRN's topic in General Nursing

  8. Too good for poo

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Nursesmurf14's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I'm not usually a "not my problem" type of gal, but seriously, why are people expecting you to address a problem that does not happen on your shift? You're not there, you honestly have to treat this...

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

    PVT, "Is this a HIPAA violation?" (typo on purpose by me!) and NETY threads are my top three with ADN vs. BSN coming a VERY close

  13. How much trouble am I ? Scale: 1 to super fired

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

    First of all, I'd quit asking if you're fired---you keep planting the seed!!! If you are fired, it does sound like a blessing in disguise, AND you can collect unemployment =) Sounds like the person...

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to beausilk74's topic in Patient Medications

    Great replies so far, I won't bother repeating any of it! I am curious however, if this seemed to be standard procedure with this patient, why was it YOU that caught heck for doing it? Who turned...

  21. Is it legal to have RN's use full name on badge?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to nitrorocket's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    Ah, no. HIPAA is in place to protect the PATIENT and their health information, not providers. It boggles my mind that you have had training in HIPAA (if you work in hospital there's no way you...

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

    I think posters can vent a'plenty without having to utter the TIRED, oh so VERY TIRED cliché of "NETY". It CAN be done, I am sure of
