  1. Might not graduate over FB

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to BookWorming's topic in General Students

    Oh boy. My panties aren't in a bunch. YOU called students in your hospital employees, I pointed out that they are not employees. I've also stated that they are, in fact, representatives of said...

  2. Might not graduate over FB

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to BookWorming's topic in General Students

    Yup, I believe I've stated that. A student IS a representative in a manner of speaking of any clinical site they are a part of, AND must abide by the policies and procedures in place of that...

  3. Might not graduate over FB

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to BookWorming's topic in General Students

    Of course students have to follow protocol and policy of the clinical site, but that in no way, shape or form, makes them an EMPLOYEE of that

  4. Might not graduate over FB

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to BookWorming's topic in General Students

    Um, how do you figure? Is a student receiving compensation for what they are doing at that clinical site? Since they aren't, they aren't considered EMPLOYEES in the legal sense of the word. Are...

  5. Fired for refusing??

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Indyrn00's topic in Disaster Preparation

    The flu shot won't protect you from EVERY strain of flu out there. It's a crap shoot, at best, and when they set out to develop the vaccine for the season, they have to decide which versions might be...

  6. Can a LPN work under a doctor in CT?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Pandora6212's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    YOU should understand what you can and can't do. Honestly, if I were your new boss, I'd have to really wonder about a nurse who doesn't know this most basic information about his or her own license....

  7. Cytotec for IUFD

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to tj9603's topic in Ob/Gyn

    When I was expecting babies (WAS, shop is closed now!) my MD knew my adament wishes were that under no circumstances was he to even think about suggesting Cytotec for induction of labor. A little...

  8. Where are all the nurses?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to CapeCodMermaid's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    My company doesn't allow LPN's to do ANYTHING with an IV line, even though in my state LPN's are allowed certain duties with

  9. Might not graduate over FB

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to BookWorming's topic in General Students

    Your question of "why would someone do that" is one you should ask yourself. WHY would you post a derogatory statement about a tech. Not professional at all. As to why one of your friends printed...

  10. What To Do About False Notes and Charting

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to cook78's topic in Private Duty

    When I did do PDN for a G-tube, vent dependent little one, NO WAY would I have ever taken her to my home, for a visit much less an overnight. OMG the liability alone would make me lose sleep. It was...

  11. first job! help

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to bluegreen26's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    That's awesome!!! Posts like this give new grads hope that there ARE multiple positions out there that they are qualified for! Let us know where you end

  12. Fired. How Do I get rehired?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to pppp87's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Actually, her old manager CAN say she was terminated. Most choose to confirm or deny that someone worked at their facility and if they are or are not eligible for rehire and that is it, but they...

  13. Fired. How Do I get rehired?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to pppp87's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Wow, text speak aside (Seriously, it's part of the TOS and your peers DO draw conclusions about professionalism on posts like this), YES, the OP was fired for failure to complete her education in the...

  14. Stereotyping Male Nurses

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to lvansick's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Ha Ha!!!! There is one male nurse where I work, he's our go-to guy for opening or closing the heat vents in the ceilings because he's the only one tall enough to reach them without standing on a...

  15. Do you tell?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to CapeCodMermaid's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I live in a small enough community that most of my providers know I'm a nurse =) But on the rare occasion that one of my kids needs urgent care, I don't mention it. On a side note, this winter we had...

  16. are mandatory scrub color-coding in hospitals the wave of the future?

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

    the trend a few years ago was to just put "nursing staff" on an ID badge so as to make a patient believe that anyone wearing one of these badges was an RN, when in fact they could mean RN, LPN, MA or...

  17. When a Resident Refuses

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Nightowl_RN's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Educate. Document. It's HIPAA!!! NOT

  18. Today a patient asked, "Do you know Jesus?"

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

    Yep, it was one of these holy roller Christians who believe that his religion is the ONLY religion that cemented my policy of never talking religion with ANYONE I'm providing care for, and discussing...

  19. What To Do About False Notes and Charting

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to cook78's topic in Private Duty

    But ventmommy is also a nurse, isn't

  20. What To Do About False Notes and Charting

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to cook78's topic in Private Duty

    are you a nurse or in nursing

  21. Today a patient asked, "Do you know Jesus?"

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

    If someone asked me that, it would bother me. There is no deep dark reason that I need to reflect on as to know WHY it would bother me. It would bother me because it's none of their business and my...

  22. This is horrible: the doctors and staff won't do anything

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Nola009's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    You know, there's a good chance that OP has already anonymous-ized her client! Maybe her resident IS a male with a foot injury and she changed it to a female with an arm injury to protect her...

  23. This is horrible: the doctors and staff won't do anything

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Nola009's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    You should have a medical director that has the "right" to dictate orders on any resident in the building if the need arises. Where the heck is your DON? Or the residents POA? As far as charting,...

  24. Patient wants to connect on LinkedIn

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to otilika's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    Nope, school name was on the back. We were anal about not letting that show. IF a patient asked, we of course had to tell them, but in 4 years of nursing school, only had it happen once. I do agree...

  25. Have you ever been asked to falsify notes?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to HisTreasure's topic in Private Duty

    I really hope you don't oblige her!!! I know that my Dad's CPAP machine records hours of usage so he knows when it needs routine maintenance, I wouldn't be surprised if hers doesn't do something...
