  1. Dog had emergency surgery last night.

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to hppygr8ful's topic in General Nursing

    Stressful times means reacting in ways you usually don't, I'm sure your son will not suffers irreversible harm from your momentary snap. FWIW, $2000 means we'd be dogless in this house, so you're...

  2. Request not to be placed at certain clinical site

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to sheirry's topic in General Students

    Let this be a lesson to all: act like a mature professional at all times!!! You had no options at my school, you showed up where and when they told you to! Switching with another student would be a...

  3. If you could speak your mind...

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

    I work in a very busy specialty clinic, my md is the only one that performs certain procedures for 90 miles in any direction. I was getting a 97 year old man prepped for a procedure and he went on...

  4. Noone to relieve me, but I'm forced to clock out for lunch?!

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to weazzie55's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Why would you agree to this? It violates labor laws and is completely moronic to boot. If you're working, you deserve to be paid. Don't devalue

  5. What gauge needle for subq heparin do you use?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to evarunnr's topic in Patient Medications

    Whatever the smallest needle I can find is. We draw it up, so I don't use insulin

  6. How do you saline-lock? / What is saline-locking?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to 757RN's topic in Patient Medications

    How did you not learn this most basic of skills in nursing school? This frightens

  7. Looking for Guidance on Mistake

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to katie115's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    I am the biggest advocate of breastfeeding you will ever meet. HOWEVER, you absolutely did the right thing. I daresay, this is going to be the LEAST of this little ones upcoming

  8. Comments to make on an Unjust write up?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Satsun's topic in General Nursing

    To expand on this. I currently work with a nurse who came THIS close to being fired fir this attitude. Towards the end of shift, a nurse was looking for an open computer so she could chart, all were...

  9. Comments to make on an Unjust write up?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Satsun's topic in General Nursing

    Oh, I also would NEVER refer to a CNA as my inferior.

  10. Comments to make on an Unjust write up?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Satsun's topic in General Nursing

    I maintain, CNA do NOT work under your

  11. Comments to make on an Unjust write up?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Satsun's topic in General Nursing

    You were probably also told that as a student in clinicals that you "we're working under your instructors license" too,

  12. Really bad fever blister. Should I call in?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to LDAthleteNurse's topic in General Nursing

    Someone with a cold sore gave you shingles? I think

  13. Really bad fever blister. Should I call in?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to LDAthleteNurse's topic in General Nursing

    Try reading for comprehension. Op never said she had a "highly contagious weeping cold sore". She said she had a fever blister and was concerned with how it looked. Get off your high horse

  14. Falsely accused of med diversion

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to kindia's topic in General Nursing

    Potato/potato. She signed the meds out HOURS before giving them. Who knows where they are? Hence, pharmacy's

  15. Comments to make on an Unjust write up?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Satsun's topic in General Nursing

    See my bolded part. This is wholly untrue. CNA's do NOT work under your license. Stop believing that and for the love of all that's holy, stop SAYING

  16. How much do you make with a BSN?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Eeramsey's topic in General Nursing

    I do not have a BSN, but do know that in the two different systems I currently work for, BSN nurses make no more than ADN

  17. Really bad fever blister. Should I call in?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to LDAthleteNurse's topic in General Nursing

    perhaps if op provided a few details, all of our speculation would be for

  18. Really bad fever blister. Should I call in?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to LDAthleteNurse's topic in General Nursing

    Um yes, I realize this. I only used pimple as an example since OP said it was an aesthetic issue as to why she was going to call

  19. Is money everything in this profession?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to WhyNurse's topic in General Nursing

    You thought

  20. Falsely accused of med diversion

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to kindia's topic in General Nursing

    Sounds like, at a minimum, you ARE guilty of poor judgement and bad nursing practice. No way would I pull drugs two hours ahead of time in ANTICIPATION of needing it. Clearly it wasn't a one time...

  21. Really bad fever blister. Should I call in?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to LDAthleteNurse's topic in General Nursing

    Unless it's going to prevent you from doing your job, it's not something I would call in over. Embarrassment sounds super lame, imo. Would you call in over a big

  22. Am I right to be angry?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Knytstar's topic in General Nursing

    On our old emar system, we could only remove medications from someone's med list if we were the one that prescribed them. So daily, when reviewing meds, we'd say "and are you still taking XYZ?" And...

  23. Am I right to be angry?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Knytstar's topic in General Nursing

    Yup. As long as it's listed on active problems, it will attach itself to EVERY visit. At least that is how our system works. I'm really confused by "the look on the face" of the discharging nurse....

  24. Nursing Supervisor is Inappropriate

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Shelby, BSN, RN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Sorry, but it IS the responsibility of OP to start the ball rolling to stop this man. I'm not blaming her for being on the receiving end of this disgusting behavior at all. She is a part of the...

  25. Nursing Supervisor is Inappropriate

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Shelby, BSN, RN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    WHY are you letting this go on and on? Way too many examples in one short post. You are letting him get away with this by keeping
