  2. can you get fire

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to nyt010806's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    \\YES, even though it's her son. Heck, even if it was HER chart. Why didn't she call Grandma and ask about meds? Or the Dr? Really a bad move. And it's

  3. can you get fire

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to nyt010806's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    Fired. As well she should be. No way this wasn't covered when she was hired. If she can't follow simple instructions, this is what she deserves. Sorry for the harshness, but come

  4. White pants concerns

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to YourLocalAsian's topic in Men in Nursing

    All I know is that MEN in white scrub pants have NO worries compared to women in white scrub pants. Personally I think it's cruel and unusual punishment for anyone to be made to wear them. By CHOICE...

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

    Yes. A lot is two separate words. It is NEVER "alot". Good grammar, spelling, punctuation, etc will go a long way in your nursing

  6. IDs say Josh...Pearson name Joshua

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

    I guess I'm confused why you use your nickname for legal documents, but your real name for NCLEX. The passport should match your birth certificate, no? My advice is to take everything with...

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

  8. Mantra?... Whats yours??...

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to PrayingToPass's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    Life is too short. And then I fill in the blank. "life is too short to wrestle with these sterile gloves, get a new packet", "life is too short to worry about a fruit or veggie at every meal, go...

  13. Spervisor hid meds

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to jayl955's topic in Patient Medications

    When I did rehab nursing, the med room was always locked, you needed the keys each and every time---and that door shut fast too, LOL! The administrator would routinely come around and push the locks...

  14. Where to wear ID badge

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to poopylala's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I wear the lanyard issued by my facility, but lots of my coworkers where their on retractable reels that clip onto the V-neck of their

  15. Spervisor hid meds

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to jayl955's topic in Patient Medications

    Taking the meds so that a resident did not receive what they needed was absolutely wrong. However, how did YOU go an entire shift and not notice that you never gave that resident any of their...

  16. hated by medical director.

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to gfauker1's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I'm in the camp believing that you made no errors. MAYBE, this holier than thou MD needs to start accepting calls about critical patients instead of email. Personally, I've never heard of having to...

  17. Should I dress up?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to AnnieOaklyRN's topic in General Nursing

    In ANY situation, I'd rather be a little over dressed rather than underdressed--I'm talking social situations, open house at school, when I fly, etc. You will never find me at the grocery store in...

  20. My best friend is now a patient on the floor I work on

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to EmergencyChocolate's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    Ever see Hogan's Heros? If not you're missing some good classic stuff! Anyhow, you need to channel Sgt. Shultz and in your best German accent repeat "I know nothing!" if and when anyone asks you...

  21. What color are your scrubs?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Iliauna's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I work in a large multi-specialty clinic and each department sets it's own dress code. We wear navy, steel gray or white bottoms and tops are flexible. They prefer that we wear a scrub jacket or...

  22. Assisted Living Drama versus Skilled Nursing Stress

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

    I kind of have to think that if they are STRESSING how they can't keep nurses because of the attitudes of CNA's, it has to be REALLY bad. Usually they try to blow smoke where the sun doesn't shine...

  23. How much do you make?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to middleagednurse's topic in Private Duty

  25. WHY OH WHY? Every year-------competencies!!!!!

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Well, judging by the sheer number of threads entitled "Is this a HIPPA violation?" (and YES, the misspell is mine, I DO know that it's HIPAA =) leads me to believe that YES, some nurses DO need...
