  1. Just finished OB rotation

    Batman24 replied to newmale2nursing's topic in Male Nursing Students

    It definitely has a lot to do with your instructor. I had several males in my class and they got to see everything as well. Unfortunately many instructors let their personal feelings take over when it...

  2. Nurses, physicians weigh in on new doctoral nurse degree

    Batman24 replied to Brian's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    If they earned the title of doctorate they earned the title of Doctor. This should hold true for all. A name badge with a clear identification and people introducing themselves appropriately will deal...

  3. Biting my lip.

    Batman24 replied to rnmi2004's topic in General Nursing

    Google Scholar Degree...that's awesome. BWAWAWA That was nice of the attending to apologize and it was smart of all of you to only take the patient for one shift. He's one of those patients you have...

  4. My God, these family members!!

    Batman24 replied to SoundofMusic's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Nurses should be able to say they are going to lunch. When I go to lunch I always let my patients know and the other nurses I work with do the same. If they don't think we eat they'd prob die of shock...

  5. Was this an appropriate order?

    Batman24 replied to vashtee's topic in General Nursing

    We can't be held responsible to have one doctor call another. This doctor should have paged or called the doctor himself and frankly, by the time he wrote the note asking someone else to do it he...

  6. Was this an appropriate order?

    Batman24 replied to vashtee's topic in General Nursing

    I misunderstood. I thought this was a dcotor complaint when it seems like the unit secretary was behind the whole hoopla. If she saw him she should have alerted the doc and if she knew you missed him...

  7. Was this an appropriate order?

    Batman24 replied to vashtee's topic in General Nursing

    I would request a meeting with your CN and her superior and discuss the situation in a calm manner. You don't need to be confrontational but stay firm and polite. Say you don't ever expect to be...

  8. Was this an appropriate order?

    Batman24 replied to vashtee's topic in General Nursing

    This isn't the nurse's job. If the doctor needs to talk to another doctor they can page or call them directly. The docs where I work would never have done this because they know its lazy and...

  9. HIPAA violation wanted more responses

    Batman24 replied to pollyanna83's topic in General Nursing

    I don't see a HIPAA violation here. Your friend stated she wanted to stay where she currently was and it appears to have ended at that. I don't see why she would be contacting an attorney about a...

  10. I'm getting written up! (Very long)

    Batman24 replied to rn4babies63's topic in General Nursing

    Can you imagine if OP gets written up?! "Doc mad patient had mind of her own and had epi done. Blames nurse. SO also mad patient decided on pain meds. Blames nurse. Bad nurse helped their patient,...

  11. I'm getting written up! (Very long)

    Batman24 replied to rn4babies63's topic in General Nursing

    I actually meant to quote you on this part. It is a hostile working environment if he pits families and patients against one another, families and nurses against one another, and nurses are being put...

  12. I'm getting written up! (Very long)

    Batman24 replied to rn4babies63's topic in General Nursing

    And even if the family did complain why would they ever be able to dictate what the patient does and doesn't receive in this situation as the patient is of sound mind?! It's ridiculous. If families...

  13. I'm getting written up! (Very long)

    Batman24 replied to rn4babies63's topic in General Nursing

    I really think the clinical coordinator is mistaken. They don't have to write you up here. No way...no how. Ask to see written policy of this. Is she saying it is because of a family complaint?! If...

  14. I'm getting written up! (Very long)

    Batman24 replied to rn4babies63's topic in General Nursing

    I've never heard that before and I don't buy it at all especially about a family complaint. There is no way everyone writes up every family and pateint complaint. They'd run out of paper. Just make...

  15. I'm getting written up! (Very long)

    Batman24 replied to rn4babies63's topic in General Nursing

    BTW...I'm proud of the OP for being a wonderful educator and patient advocate.

  16. I'm getting written up! (Very long)

    Batman24 replied to rn4babies63's topic in General Nursing

    It's not even remotely true. They clearly are out to bully the poor pregnant patient and the staff. The woman was conscious and of sound mind so she decides. What a shame that they did this first to...

  17. I'm getting written up! (Very long)

    Batman24 replied to rn4babies63's topic in General Nursing

    It doesn't matter what the S/O and family members think and want. The woman was conscious and of sound mind and can decide for herself. Case clased on that one. You superior doesn't need to write you...

  18. BSN RN & Certifications not allowed on my badge: I am outraged!

    Batman24 replied to Simba2241's topic in General Nursing

    A RN is a RN. That's awesome you have your BSN and if you are getting a few extra dollars for that your employer is indeed acknowledging your education.Your employer however prefers your name badges...

  19. Nurses question CEO's presence in OR

    Batman24 replied to Anxious Patient's topic in Operating Room

    The nurses were right.

  20. when what client says conflicts with med chart

    Batman24 replied to smartnurse1982's topic in General Nursing

    Document thrououghly.You can't document enough in situations like this one. You then need to get on the phone with the doctor PRONTO. The yneed to get involved and see if they can explain why what is...

  21. Prospective male nurse with a catch

    Batman24 replied to mowski1214's topic in General Nursing

    I agree not to disclose your diagnosis. You can do that in the future when and if you have limitations at that time. You should follow the path that interets you more but nursing will have plenty of...

  22. VENT!! Called off and labeled "No Call No Show" LOOONG...

    Batman24 replied to so alive LPN's topic in General Nursing

    It sure is. It was just a mistake and they admitted it. What a novel idea. Glad things worked

  23. Prayer @ staff meeting

    Batman24 replied to HIPPIECHIKRN's topic in General Nursing

    I disagree. If I have a problem with someone on the job I always go to that person directly out of respect first. If that doesn't rectify the problem I then proceed up the food chain. And if you feel...

  24. Prayer @ staff meeting

    Batman24 replied to HIPPIECHIKRN's topic in General Nursing

    If it bothers you to the point that you want it to stop why not just bring it up to the person who requested it be done first?! I'd go that route before HR. Let them know how you feel and if it...

  25. Vent session..any advice?

    Batman24 replied to augiebear's topic in General Nursing

    Pushing her is abusive. She's ill. I'd be clear that pushing her is completely unacceptable. I'd stop right in my tracks if they did that. If they keep doing it I'd get APS involved immediately. I...
