  1. Yesterday was weird

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to MECO28's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Um, "ouch" is not the sensation that is meant to be experienced when wearing panties like this. Just saying

  2. I think I'm going to quit during orientation

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to withorwithoutyou's topic in First Year After Licensure

    This is a NETY situation how? I want to scream every time I see someone write it

  3. Unpaid overtime - is this the norm?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to seconddegreebsn's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I don't want to sound mean, but any nurse that does this is a fool =( No WAY am I working "off the clock" to appease management. I'd be documenting til my fingers fall off about all of the unpaid...

  4. Foreign educated nurse should i include clinical hospital name

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Belle7788's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    If you research other threads on this topic, it seems that clinical time is NOT listed on a resume as experience. It's expected that you've had clinical time as part of your nursing education and...

  5. Took 265 Questions - NCLEX RN

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to katrn2324's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    You can pass or fail at 75 and pass or fail at 265. And anything goes in between

  6. Negotiating the Holiday Off

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Brian's topic in Health, Stress Management

    When I worked a job that required 24/7/365 coverage, we rotated holidays and I worked when scheduled. Now I"m clinic and it's never an issue. And it's wonderful

  8. New LPN in ambulatory care, I'm doing the same job as the MA's.

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Rivalicious's topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    Since I first posted on this thread, I have changed jobs. I now work for a multi-specialty practice, in ophthalmology in a further sub-specialty. My MD has 4 RN's and a COA. The COA knows more...

  9. My patient dropped her baby!

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to perfexion's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I'm thinking now that I was gypped after my c/s---no PCA was offered to

  10. Quit?! What do I do?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to sweetgirl61399's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I wouldn't have tipped my hand and told them that you're lawyering up, but what's done is done. I've never heard of an employee getting a two weeks (arbitrarily pulled out of thin air) notice before...

  11. 2 insulins = 2 injections

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Graduatenurse14's topic in Patient Medications

    Why in the world are multiple patients sharing the same vial of insulin? That seems to be the bigger question

  12. NCLEX PAYMENT Problem on CGFNS

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to nurse712's topic in Nurse Registration

    If the message you're seeing is that you've made too many attempts and you have to pay by bank draft, then THAT is what you have to do. I'm confused as to why you keep asking the question over and...

  13. Where to endorse NCLEX? (the cheapest)

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to louieb's topic in Nurse Registration

    Legitimate question---why would you not have a SSN? Isn't one required by

  14. My patient dropped her baby!

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to perfexion's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Did the baby even really fall? Mom was holding baby when OP came back into the room, right? She just said she dropped baby but noone saw it. I hate to be Nancy Naysayer, but in this day and

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to TigerxLiLy's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Except HIPAA DOES see it as a problem. TOTALLY not

  16. When pushy CNAs show how little they know

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Emergent's topic in Emergency

    For the record, this is NOT a NETY moment. PLEASE drop that phrase from your vocabulary now, before you become a

  17. When pushy CNAs show how little they know

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Emergent's topic in Emergency

    When know-it-all nurses show how arrogant they can be. Really? How idiotic is she when she makes a REAL oops? This makes me

  18. PRN window

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Cjhays's topic in General Nursing

    Is this more

  19. Major nursing liability

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Cjhays's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Um, how about someone calling 911? Pretty sure that EMS will have what you don't have access to to save a patients life. THEN worry about who's azz is on the

  20. Lessons on why not to "Assume" things.

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to TigerxLiLy's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Mabesma's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Sigh....

  22. ...Advice?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to SunnyTrailRunner's topic in General Students

    It's hard. Chances are that many of your classmates aren't juggling nearly as many duties outside of class that you are. I was you--wife, mom, worked full time, nursing infant, etc... That said, I...

  23. Please help me to pass my background check

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

  24. Sticks and stones...

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

    Yup, I don't engage them. It's only happened a couple of BRIEF times, the aggressor realized that they weren't getting the response they hoped for from me and moved

  25. Do you believe that socioeconomics and educations are biggest factors?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to tarotale's topic in Emergency

    I can honestly say I don't have an "undesirable category" when it comes to patients. I'm shaking my head that you do
