    BuckyBadgerRN replied to edwardsrn62's topic in Private Duty

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to RNBearColumbus's topic in Geriatric, LTC

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

    I'm not an NP, but where I used to work, there was a rehab patient that would put her light on at HS and ask for the "pill lady" to bring her her Ativan. I finally told her that she can just go ahead...

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to kimmyanne02's topic in General Students

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Lark Pogue's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Several other threads on this, we DO have strong opinions!! I personally will call the MA's out in the practice I am a patient at. I work for a large multi-specialty clinic with several satellite...

  13. Knitting during class: ok or not?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to BusyBee91's topic in General Students

    really? You ratted a doodler out to your instructor? This affected you how? If I was your instructor I'd have told you to keep your eyes on your own work and mind your own business! Do your eyes...

  19. Bullied at work

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to eelise11's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I'm confused. The CNA's needed an RN to come and assess the fall patient. You're an LPN, so it's not like you could have done the assessment anyway, right? So why the world is saying they waited X...
