  1. Do you remember this lesson in nursing school?

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

    Sigh.... THIS poster

  2. Dear Nursing Instructor

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Fearless_leader's topic in General Students

    A nice thought, but you can bet that the first time you did this, said locked out student would go crying to the Dean and YOU'D be the one getting the talking to with a "you can't do that" to top...

  3. The "politics" of tattling.

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

    Seriously, a nurse RESTRAINED a patient to their bed just so she wouldn't have to toilet him/her. I smell something alright, not sure it's the result of

  4. APN logs in under Doctor's name and charts. What do I do?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to StealthRN's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I think you're misusing the word "illegal". It isn't "illegal" to share passwords/log in's/etc at your place of employment. Against regulation/policy/procedures, absolutely, but not at all illegal....

  5. Dear Nursing Instructor

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Fearless_leader's topic in General Students

    For the record, I am NOT a nursing instructor, not sure how I ever gave you the impression that I am. Directing your comments at me, in the manner you did, was pointless. Also, for the record, I too...

  6. Dear Nursing Instructor

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Fearless_leader's topic in General Students

    Dear Fearless Leader: Come back and follow up at the END of your nursing education and see if you can't enlighten us as to some of the reasons you think your instructors were like they

  7. What's Your Best Nursing Ghost Story?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to steffck's topic in General Nursing

    HEY! You can't mention a moving body bag and then walk away! Did anyone check it out? It wouldn't have been ME, I can tell you that with every fiber of my being, but why was it

  8. Should I call HR or Nurse Manager?

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

    So a couple of places have told you to talk to the NM's. That must be the trend where you live? I'd go with

  9. Appropriate orientation attire

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to laurenmichelle3's topic in General Students

    Better to be over dressed than under dressed!!! Jeans are never appropriate for something like this, I don't care how great they look. And yes, I guarantee that when you get there, there will be...

  10. Disciplinary action - medication error

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to spenbobb1's topic in Patient Medications

    Did the other nurse accept the keys to the cart/med room? She took report, to me that means she was accepting all responsibility associated with it. Was she penalized as

  11. What is the proper way to address an RN?

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

    When I worked in rehab, there was a woman there who didn't want her Ativan until she was ready for bed. Fair enough, we would tell her just put her light on. She would and then tell the CNA's who'd...

  12. pt received the wrong blood

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to ohmeowzer RN's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Think OP will ever come back and share the rest of the

  13. Afraid of loosing my job

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Katniss88's topic in General Nursing

    LOSE, not LOOSE. You don't need a wrench. It does sound like you could use a smile though. Seriously, fake it til you make it! How many of your negative situations would have been totally...

  14. APN logs in under Doctor's name and charts. What do I do?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to StealthRN's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Maybe it's how the physician wants it done. This really sounds like a "mind your own business" type of scenario, it's not something you'll be going down

  15. What is the proper way to address an RN?

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

    We could choose. I just have my first intial. Bucky

  16. What is the proper way to address an RN?

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

    I always introduce myself as "Susan". I don't WANT my last name known to everyone, hence my choosing to just have my last inital on my name

  17. What is the proper way to address an RN?

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

    I'd probably die laughing if someone called me Nurse

  18. You can add your credentials to your username

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in News, Announcements

    Oy, AN did a nice thing and offered the OPTION of the ability to add some degree letters to their user names and STILL "we" aren't happy. "Can you add this"? "Why isn't THIS on the list"? "What...

  19. How many nurses in your clinic?

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

    Op? Coming

  21. Nursing occupation, politically ineffective due to inequalities of both gender?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Yusrie's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Amen, Chuckster. Try living in WI with a police officer husband! Walker took away union rights and then needed them on scene to control the chaos at the Capitol thanks to his

  22. HIPAA violation

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to joe007's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    The key is "NO IDENTIFYING FACTORS". The dementia doesn't even need to come into play. OP, what were you taught in nursing school or when you did your mandatory training upon hire? At least HIPAA...

  23. Nursing occupation, politically ineffective due to inequalities of both gender?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Yusrie's topic in Activism, Healthcare

  24. Nursing occupation, politically ineffective due to inequalities of both gender?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Yusrie's topic in Activism, Healthcare
