  1. Grammar Police

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to ICURN3020's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I won't respond to my kids texts when they send "txt spk" messages, they've finally learned =) I really hate the way it's a violation of TOS here, yet, professionals that we are, some insist on...

  2. Vent: suspended for not charting on time

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to hopesgramcracker's topic in Patient Medications

    That's not the med error. According to what anyone could see, the first dose being spoken of was never given because OP never noted

  3. Vent: suspended for not charting on time

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to hopesgramcracker's topic in Patient Medications

    Please don't forget that we're only hearing ONE side of this tale. It's unfair of you to let the masses believe that any legal situation will turn out the way you're calling

  4. Vent: suspended for not charting on time

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to hopesgramcracker's topic in Patient Medications

    Really? And you know this how? OP made an error, and because of it, her patient got an extra dose of the "missed" med. Prompt charting falls on the nurse providing care, the OP. She messed up....

  5. Vent: suspended for not charting on time

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to hopesgramcracker's topic in Patient Medications

    I hope you only end up with a slap on the wrist, but a patient WAS double dosed because of something that you did. NEVER fall back on the excuse "well, everyone else does it!" Be better than...

  6. Just an LPN...

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

    Um, where I went to school, RN students got twice as many clinical hours than LPN students since our program was twice as long. Maybe I'm the odd one out

  7. 1st job as LVN, bullied, victim of theft, then terminated

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

    I'm glad you filed the report, sounds like this woman would have kept on going if you hadn't. As far as being blacklisted, you've got truth on your side, if you find that this is a true problem,...

  8. Good pop up and Failed???! Really??!

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

    Fingers crossed that you've passed. That 6 weeks wait in CA is killer!! In the meantime, please work on spelling out the word "BECAUSE" when you post to a forum that doesn't allow text-speak

  9. 1st job as LVN, bullied, victim of theft, then terminated

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

    1. why would you not file a police report? 2. are LVN's allowed to do phone triage in your state? They aren't in mine. I hate seeing a nurse being asked/expected to do a job that they aren't...

  10. Are BSN nurses smarter than ADN nurses?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to elpnla's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I think that God doesn't have as much to do with it as you want us to believe. There are plenty of atheists who are pretty flipping smart! I think that hard work, willingness to achieve goals and...

  11. PLEASE HELP!

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to sharebear2780's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    It's up to YOU to protect yourself from the board. They are there to protect the patient, we as nurses have to toe the line and follow the laws they set forth. You admit that you didn't do this, how...

  12. i need help for this Case study i have exam coming up soon

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to slivairegie's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Again, try to figure it out on your own. You could have found your answer on Google just as quickly as it took you to type it out here. Not sure why your instructor is assigning case studies with...

  13. Does your hospital require color coded scrubs?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Loo17's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    We have to wear ceil blue, facility will hand you two sets upon hire, by coincidence, they are Cherokee brand as well. Each year after that you get another set. We can buy our own as long as they...

  14. Fired for refusing??

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Indyrn00's topic in Disaster Preparation

    She still wasn't forced to get the shot. She chose not to and had to live with the consequences, just like anyone

  15. Blacklisted by your Nursing School?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to PolishGirlRN's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Ah, gotcha. Completely stinks that she shared parts of a PRIVATE

  16. Can parents give medically fragile kids meds w/o Dr. order in homecare?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to smartnurse1982's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Lol, I qualify as my parents child too and I'm almost double

  17. Blacklisted by your Nursing School?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to PolishGirlRN's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Why was the FB group not a private one? Why was it created on FB at all? There are much more stealthy ways to communicate as a group. I agree with another poster, FB stalls another brilliant...

  18. Can parents give medically fragile kids meds w/o Dr. order in homecare?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to smartnurse1982's topic in Patient Safety Issues

  19. Is making appts for friends/family/ a hipaa violation?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to hhnurse0407's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    Doesn't really sound like a HIPAA violation, but it DOES sound like the boyfriend needs to man up and make his own durned appointments!!!! Reminds me of when I worked in a healthcare office and Mrs....

  20. Can parents give medically fragile kids meds w/o Dr. order in homecare?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to smartnurse1982's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    So what's stopping you from calling social services on these families? If you really feel that they are potentially causing harm to their child, it's your DUTY as a mandatory provider to be an...

  21. The most ridiculous birth plans you've had the pleasure of reading

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to PeepnBiscuitsRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Sounds like some of these Momma's need to just deliver at home and be done with it. And what happens if the word "pain" slips out of a nurses mouth? If it got me reassigned I might consider letting...

  22. Incompetency of california board of nursing

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to junbybravo's topic in California Nursing

    If you didn't meet the standards that they have set in policy, then NO, you don't deserve a CA nursing license. That isn't unfair at all if you aren't eligible to hold the license. That they...

  23. Fastest state to give/approve eligibility

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to maia718's topic in Nurse Registration

  24. Is it legal to give a friend insulin before meals?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to mommasgirls's topic in Diabetes, Endocrine Nursing

    I think I'd have second thoughts taking this kid on vacation with you.

  25. Is it legal to give a friend insulin before meals?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to mommasgirls's topic in Diabetes, Endocrine Nursing

    Um, at 14 this kid needs to start being accountable for his own diabetes. Why is he not doing his own injections. Unless he's special needs of
