  1. Was this such an unreasonable request?

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

    When I worked rehab/LTC we would have many instances where a blood sugar would be out of parameters and we'd get a verbal order for insulin coverage. We'd write the order, fax it where it was needed...

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to KateyBug's topic in Private Duty

    Do you wear glasses? They just get smudged! It has nothing to do with impulsive gesture control or being able to follow instructions. You need to let some of this stuff

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to KateyBug's topic in Private Duty

    Just clean them! You're really over thinking a lot of these situations you're posing. Just stop, use some common sense and think "if it were me lying there, how would I want to be

  4. Is it normal to quit a job because the culture isn't welcoming?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Naturally Brilliant's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

  5. Is it normal to quit a job because the culture isn't welcoming?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Naturally Brilliant's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I don't think BTDT is saying YOU aren't respectful back to the nurses you work with at your ft job, but rather nurses every day aren't asked nicely and thanked profusely by doctors asking them to...

  9. Was this such an unreasonable request?

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

    That is probably what irritated her. If she was talking to a nurse, that would have saved her the step of sending over the written order instead of giving just the verbal. In my state as well the...

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to KateyBug's topic in Private Duty

  11. Mantra?... Whats yours??...

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to PrayingToPass's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    What?! Did I say that YOU were unhelpful to coworkers? My reply is what an acquaintance perceives this "mantra" to be. You're reading a little too much into a comment on an internet

  12. I think I'm in trouble, HELP!

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to NCB2371's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

  14. Mantra?... Whats yours??...

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to PrayingToPass's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    This is one I hear lots of people say. Most memorably, a former coworker. When someone would ask her for help: sorry, not my circus, not my monkeys! And now I cringe when someone says

  25. After failed three time of NCLEX

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to yangq904's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    First of all, it's a national test, so you haven't failed FLORIDA's NCLEX. Secondly, because of that, it's going to be the same test no matter what state you take it in, switching where you're...
