  1. get kicked off because of med error

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

    Wait. Are you a STUDENT or an actual nurse. I'm confused. If you're a student, why would you have a preceptor? If you're a student, how in the world are you passing such heavy duty narcotics...

  2. Do LPNs use stethoscopes?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to futurerpn4lfe's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I'd be frightened if one didn't! Or at least had one very available to them. An LPN can't do INITIAL assessments in my state, but they sure can do continuing ones. I'm not sure how you can assess...

  3. Are your choice of scrubs childish?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to rose89's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I am too old for cartoon characters (ie: older than 9!) and I don't work in peds, so NO, I will not wear Tweety, Betty Boop, Snoopy or Mickey

  4. How long have you been at your current facility?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to ChristineN's topic in General Nursing

    11 mos. Four shifts left until my last day. Can't

  5. Lvn license waiting period???

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

    It probably depends on your state, they seem to vary a

  6. Danskos hurt my feet :(

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to alaina.barton's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I have two pair of Danskos, same size. My white ones are so comfy, my black ones KILL the tops of my feet by the end of a 12 hour shift. No problems like that with my Alegria's

  7. How to NOT interview for your RN/LPN job!

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

    I feel the same way, if the interview panel weeds out those who are unable to even care enough to put in a real interview outfit, that narrows the competitive field right

  8. Proper undergarments under WHITE PANTS

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Purple Lady's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    We had to wear all white in nursing school. We decided that rule was made by post-menopausal sadistic instructors hell-bent on abject humiliation of nursing

  9. Does Doctor's office practice need an RN

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to ar en112's topic in General Nursing

    When I think "manage a practice", my head thinks administratively, and in that case NO, unless the RN has exceptional administrative skills, of course =) Are you talking about an RN making house calls...

  10. Please give me some feedback on my resume so I can apply for my dream job!

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to mrsmommyx4RN's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I would get rid of the "Who's who" line. Isn't that an "honor" you buy for

  11. Need to resign ASAP

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to telealli's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Two months orientation? Um that's a lifetime compared to what some nurses get! 3 years and a $30,000 "fine" is a pretty hefty contract to have signed. I think you've painted yourself into the...

  12. Need to resign ASAP

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to telealli's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Did you sign any sort of contract when you were hired that spelled out how resignation should be handled? Two weeks is certainly the courteous way to go, but if you are that fearful truly for the...

  13. What to where?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to mmc51264's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Kind of depressing

  14. What to where?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to mmc51264's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    It must be a regional thing, because the dress code handbook I was presented with for my new job talks about appropriate business casual dress, if you're allowed in your department. It explicitly...

  15. What to where?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to mmc51264's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I would never WEAR capris OR sandals to an interview. Too casual. I'm old school and would never show my toes in front of potential bosses. And why a lab coat? Ditch that pronto, in my

  16. How to NOT interview for your RN/LPN job!

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

    She should understand why people come to a job interview in jeans or with purple hair and a lip ring?

  17. Your Interview Outfits

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

    Just landed a job wearing my go to suit I wore when I got the job I'm now resigning from. Black quality slacks, matching blazer with black buttons and a tiny bit of silver bling on them. Black/white...

  18. Giving Notice?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to BuckyBadgerRN's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I have the verbal offer and once I open the email and give permission for the background check, they will be contacting my current employer very quickly, so I felt I had to give the notice, plus we...

  19. Giving Notice?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to BuckyBadgerRN's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Letter handed to my direct supervisor today, who said she'd pass it along to the DON. Basically said: This letter serves as my intention to tender my resignation as a full-time employee of *******....

  20. Giving Notice?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to BuckyBadgerRN's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    This is sounding like a good

  21. Giving Notice?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to BuckyBadgerRN's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Great advice, both of you, thanks for your comments! They usually seems grateful for an RN to stay on PD, but totally understand if they aren't interested in that. I'm extending the offer honestly...

  22. Posting Licensed Number in social media

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to nomad29's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    I have. Makes it easier to look up in my state---I'm helpful like that

  23. Does your hospital or facility badge include your credentials?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to icuRNmaggie's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    The trend for a while was for facilities to have the badge say "Maggie, nursing staff". That way it included RN's, LPN's, and CNA's. All who have a derivitive of "nurse" in it. The intent was to...

  24. Nurses selling at work?

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

    I'm thankful that my husband's office allows sales----its the only place I can get personal delivery service for my annual Thin Mint

  25. Medical staff warned: Keep your mouths shut about illegal immigrants or face arrest

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Hotfornursing's topic in Infectious Disease

    "We report, you decide". Yup, I decide
