  1. I Need Advice - MD Not Signing Order

    Batman24 replied to Andrew, RN's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sorry this happened to you. Sounds like you are being a scapegoat here. I would start looking for a new job today. Pls don't let this scare you away from nursing. You will find your fit and...

  2. I Need Advice - MD Not Signing Order

    Batman24 replied to Andrew, RN's topic in General Nursing

    Hopefully the pain nurse will be able to clear up the confusion. I would however use this as a learning experience and not do it again until protocols are in writing to protect yourself from here on...

  3. My God, these family members!!

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

    Your manager should really step in here. If they won't the best you can do is continue to prioritize and document document

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

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

    You should be absolutely in the clear. Keep the VM as advised and stay calm. It could be they had a miscommunication on their end and you just need to tell them that. Of course sign nothing as you...

  5. Ohio Certified Medication Aide Course Outline

    Batman24 replied to cmatobe's topic in General Nursing

    I wouldn't allow anyone to pass meds under my license. 20 days to pass meds is a danger. I fear for the

  6. "Can I speak to you for a second?"

    Batman24 replied to Tait's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sure it's insecurity and attention seeking on her behalf and it would get on my last nerve too. When you are working a busy 12 hour shift last thing you want to deal with is this petty nonsense....

  7. "You'll be a nurse two years after you get your RN"

    Batman24 replied to nurseby07's topic in General Nursing

    He's right. He is a nurse. You are a RN after you pass your boards and get your license not two years after that. According to their rationale I'm not a RN yet either. If he is missing pertinent info...

  8. Protecting against a vindictive nurse

    Batman24 replied to LamoreVincera's topic in General Nursing

    That's what I would do too. I'd make the CEO aware that you were treated elsewhere and let them know your disgnosis and how HIS HOSPITAL with their DISMISSIVE CARE caused you further unnecessary pain....

  9. OB Rotation is Hell

    Batman24 replied to Cartman1532's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Your instructor really can make or break you in OB because their demeanor and position sadly sets the precedent. Sometimes they make the decisions on behalf of the patients by inserting their own...

  10. can nurses chart about this kind of things?

    Batman24 replied to Ms.RN's topic in General Nursing

    I would think they'd talk to her as well. I'd bring this to management's attention at once as this should be discussed. If something like patient neglect truly needs to be addressed she will be...

  11. Orientee's now being counted as staff!!

    Batman24 replied to GiGiRNICU's topic in General Nursing

    They're lying. Not accepting an assignment is not patient abandonment. You have the right not to accept an assignment that you feel puts your patients and license at risk. They are using scare tactics...

  12. An Atheist Outnumbered by Christians at Work (an ethical dilemma)

    Batman24 replied to Jo Dirt's topic in General Nursing

    The OP seems to have a lot going on right now judging by their other threads so my opinion is to leave religion or lack thereof out of the equation right now at work. If when other things settle down...

  13. Mother Ate The Placenta

    Batman24 replied to swimincatz's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I want to vomit just reading it.

  14. I am not in the medical field yet I would respectfully like to ask a quick question.

    Batman24 replied to James 1967's topic in General Nursing

    I'd mention that I was incontinent right from the start. I can see where it would be embarassing for the patient but it's something we do hear and should be made aware of. If I knew I'd have addressed...

  15. I think peri/rectal swabs are a humiliating 'welcome' to the hospital

    Batman24 replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    That's exactly why they don't swab any of us...it will cost them big in more ways than

  16. I think peri/rectal swabs are a humiliating 'welcome' to the hospital

    Batman24 replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    We only do nasal swabs as well. Question for those doing peri-rectal..what percentage are refusing?!

  17. assertiveness/confidence?

    Batman24 replied to mashamontago's topic in General Nursing

    Introduce yourself in a clear and concise way loud enough for your patients to hear and understand you. Do it with a smile. Always explain what you will be doing in the same way. Patients like to be...

  18. I think peri/rectal swabs are a humiliating 'welcome' to the hospital

    Batman24 replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    I've never heard of this either. If I was a patient I would consent to the nasal and deny the peri-rectal

  19. Feeling patronized by "older" nurses

    Batman24 replied to Tortoiseshell's topic in General Nursing

    You just needs to start setting some new boundaries for yourself and it doesn't have to be done in an aggressive way. If your hands are full state as much and tell her you will take the vitals or she...

  20. Abandonment

    Batman24 replied to kamani811's topic in General Nursing

    Somtimes things like this are blessings in disguise. Find another job and move on. You don't want to be taking on an assignment you feel is unsafe nor do you need to deal with this kind of idiocy. Sad...

  21. do you check after your nursing assistants?

    Batman24 replied to Ms.RN's topic in General Nursing

    You shouldn't have to check 50 residents to make sure they are dry. If people aren't doing their jobs I would speak to them first and then next time it happens do a write up and get the ball rolling...

  22. would like your opinion...

    Batman24 replied to spunky1281's topic in General Nursing

    They can't force you to sign it and they could stand on their head before I would. I'm also little leery about the CN instructing this nurse to write you up considering no one even saw you do this....

  23. Confrontation with a Visitor

    Batman24 replied to Jo Dirt's topic in General Nursing

    I actually agree with Caliotter. I don't share much on a personal level at my job. I'm lucky in that I work on a great unit with people I really like but I still keep my private life very private....

  24. would like your opinion...

    Batman24 replied to spunky1281's topic in General Nursing

    You prioritized and did so properly. There was no reason for this to result in a write up. I wouldn't have signed it either. Hold firm on

  25. Abandonment

    Batman24 replied to kamani811's topic in General Nursing

    I liked that you have standardized paperwork available. It's
