  1. Too much snow! Getting to work late again.

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Brian's topic in Nursing Humor

    Good solution! My husband and I are in the middle of moving process from WI to VA, yes there is still the occasional snow in the DC area, but nothing like what we get in

  2. Fired for refusing??

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Indyrn00's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Oh! Shows you how much I listen to anything that comes out of Jenny McCarthy's mouth! I didn't know she had changed her position---what has she diagnosed her son with

  3. Fired for refusing??

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Indyrn00's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I don't know, she's awfully busy spreading the word about how vaccinations are evil and cause autism. And BOOM, we're back on topic of the dangers of vaccinations and how noone should be FORCED to...

  4. Fired for refusing??

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Indyrn00's topic in Disaster Preparation

    You should strongly consider law school as your next item on your bucket list. Clearly you have a gift for arguing a point =) But the terminology and meaning behind the words you're choosing to use...

  5. Fired for refusing??

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Indyrn00's topic in Disaster Preparation

    These aren't semantics, but drama is a word that comes to mind....If you feel that strongly about the vaccination, decline it, accept the fallout (good or bad) of your decision and move

  6. Fired for refusing??

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Indyrn00's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Except that there is sound reasoning behind compelling someone to consider protecting themselves and others with a flu vaccination. A tattoo is just for the shear pleasure of having

  7. Fired for refusing??

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Indyrn00's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Um, how

  8. Fired for refusing??

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Indyrn00's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Which is entirely your right. It's also the right of your employer to require the flu vaccination as a condition of employment, just like requiring a nursing

  9. Fired for refusing??

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Indyrn00's topic in Disaster Preparation

    You can make your case along this vein until the cows come home, but until a nurse (or ANYONE) is being held down and unwillingly injected with a flu shot, it's not forced. Forced and mandatory are...

  10. Fired for refusing??

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Indyrn00's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Sigh, it's LOSE, not loose. And no, no it's not. It's ENFORCING a facility policy, not FORCING a nurse to get a vaccination. The nurse has a choice. Just because s/he may not like the options, you...

  11. Fired for refusing??

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Indyrn00's topic in Disaster Preparation

    It's not being forced. Policy of getting the vax or losing your job is being ENFORCED, but no one is being held down and injected against their will. THEN there will be a problem of epic...

  12. Is there a legal way to do this...

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to BrnEyedGirl's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    Why are you calling the police? He's wanted? If they KNOW who committed this horrendous crime, they are just waiting for someone to spot him and turn him in? I'm

  13. Scope of Practice

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Hugurqh's topic in Virginia Nursing

    Not that we know for sure, but I get the impression that the OP is not an RN----why would an LPN be giving an RN a task that may be out of scope? OP! Come back and clarify

  14. Allergies and running codes

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to usetimewisely's topic in Patient Medications

    I was an EMT for 20 years and will always remember the call for a LOL with chest pain. Her neighbor was there, who was a nurse (yes, an actual licensed RN). We explained our protocol for giving...

  15. Allergies and running codes

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to usetimewisely's topic in Patient Medications

    I worked in dentistry for many years before returning to nursing school. If I had the proverbial dollar for every person that told me "I have to have the 'novocaine' without the epinephrine b/c I'm...

  16. Scope of Practice

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Hugurqh's topic in Virginia Nursing

    What was the

  17. Can't we all just get along??

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Cal-Neva's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I respond as I read, so my opinions aren't "clouded" by the responses of those that have come before

  18. False Documentation

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Daytona.67's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    I think it would be considered false documentation if you charted an assessment that you didn't really do. Charting an assessment a couple of days after the fact, to me, would be considered a late...

  19. Who is responsible in this situation?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Amanda026's topic in Patient Medications

    I believe I remember thate when commercials aired for this drug, that was one of the warnings, that women who are, or may become pregnant should not handle this drug". I don't want to sound harsh,...

  20. Can't we all just get along??

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Cal-Neva's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I think you've answered your own lead-off question. You started a thread, asking for opinions on why people can be "mean and catty" behind the anonymity of internet message boards. You've gotten some...

  21. 8 hr vs 12 hr shift

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Hoosier_RN's topic in LTC: Directors, Assistant

    In my facility, the rehab unit nurses work 12 hour shifts, on the other side (conventional NH and Memory care), those each do 8 hour shifts. Seems to work for us. I'm a rehab RN and love only...

  22. Are they still giving out incentives for nurses?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Brian's topic in Nursing Humor

    They must be terrible places to work! You know, only crappy facilities will pay to get a nurse in the door. (note the

  23. Are they still giving out incentives for nurses?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Brian's topic in Nursing Humor

    Um, clearly you don't know all. My facility offers sign on bonuses. Many nurses have been there several years. We are part of a large corporation and our facility "won" the patient satisfaction...

  24. asked to delay child bearing

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to KonaDog05's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I'd have a little talk with HR---TOTALLY illegal of your boss to pull that

  25. Chemical restraint and lazy nurses

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to Veronica.c's topic in Patient Medications

    You did receive responses with helpful advice. That you choose to lash out at those who DARE question your thought process or motives is something beyond the control of anyone here. I would like to...
