  1. Charge nurse with less than a year RN experience???!!

    Batman24 replied to RNpandoraRN's topic in Nurse Management

    We can't be oriented into a charge position for one year where I work. This is set in stone and works well for

  2. Possible Pedo patient and underage visitor

    Batman24 replied to zoopnever's topic in General Nursing

    Document, document, document. Any chance the visitor is of age?! He might be a young looking eighteen year

  3. Grounds for termination

    Batman24 replied to kstec's topic in General Nursing

    She should have been fired. If the management thought this was too severe for a first offense they should have written her up and suspended her without pay for three days. I feel for the residents if...

  4. Would you witness a consent without all info filled out?

    Batman24 replied to mama_d's topic in General Nursing

    The doctor doing the procedure has to explain it. The patient and the witness shouldn't be signing before that happens. The nurses who are refusing to sign are 100% right here. They are smart to...

  5. Would you witness a consent without all info filled out?

    Batman24 replied to mama_d's topic in General Nursing

    NOT IN A MILLION YEARS. Stand firm on this one. You are 100%

  6. switching to bedside report

    Batman24 replied to justjRN's topic in General Nursing

    They tried it on my floor before I was hired and did away with it fairly quickly. It was taking forever and OT went up. Bye bedside

  7. Horrible experience...

    Batman24 replied to sarabear's topic in Ob/Gyn

    My first reaction was that this nurse had a major beef with the doctor involved and it unfortunately was passed on down to you. It seems like she argued almost every single thing the doctor said and...

  8. What do the male nurses do to prevent sexual assault accusations?

    Batman24 replied to SkySoldier's topic in Men in Nursing

    Always trust your instincts as they will rarely let you down. On second shift there are two males nurses where I work that have yet to have a complaint against them so don't be petrified. Be...

  9. Nursing, the field of medicine or customer service?

    Batman24 replied to jalvino1's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Too bad they didn't keep that sign because it would be good for patients and visitors to see. You've also touched on one of the reasons surveys are a joke. Nurses are held accountable for things they...

  10. Nursing, the field of medicine or customer service?

    Batman24 replied to jalvino1's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I don't look at my patients as customers. Never have and never will. Don't care if that's not PC either. I provide excellent patient care and I'm a qualified and educated professional. I do my best to...

  11. An OB's Birth Plan

    Batman24 replied to Poppy_Petal's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I'm sorry he didn't let you know sooner. While it's better you know all this before you are actually in the hospital ready to deliver I can't help feeling it was handed over so late in the game to...

  12. "Rooming in" on Mother/Baby - not one size fits all

    Batman24 replied to LilyBlue's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I've never heard of a nurse not taking a baby either and I'm dismayed to read this. I would contact somewhere there about their policy in this matter. It shouldn't happen. If the mother is that tired...

  13. How would you have handled it -- (spinoff from the "customer service" thread)

    Batman24 replied to ~Mi Vida Loca~RN's topic in General Nursing

    I get the feeling they really thought they weren't allowed to ask someone to leave especially as they apologized for it. It could be someone told them they aren't allowed to ask people to leave for...

  14. Any solutions to disrespect from scrub techs

    Batman24 replied to Talia_vde's topic in Operating Room

    I have found ignoring people who are trying to put you down is a good stance to take. It shows them that their comments aren't even worth responding to in the first place. If you do this enough and...

  15. Tech saying they are a nurse

    Batman24 replied to nursebrandie28's topic in General Nursing

    You should report them to the BON and they will investigate. In the end you will be doing this facility a favor because if a patient sues and the lawyers sees they are all misrepresenting themselves...

  16. Family in Denial

    Batman24 replied to whodunit's topic in General Nursing

    I feel for you and I also feel for the family. This isn't the mother she knew and it must be so hard for her to see. The mother she knew wouldn't hit someone and cause them pain. It's a lot to deal...

  17. HOTEL OR HOSPITAL?????

    Batman24 replied to rn4babies63's topic in General Nursing

    I agree. As long as he gets out of the way when you need to check the mother and the mother appears to be happy and okay with it I would let them be just like your co-workers seemed to

  18. Against Medical Advice

    Batman24 replied to rachmac03's topic in General Nursing

    We have a standardized form so we don't have to explain anything as it's all there in black and white. Sometimes the doctor will come in and speak to them but that's the exception not the rule. It...

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

    Batman24 replied to Brian's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    If you earn your doctorate you also earn the right to be called Doctor. We can't take away that right in this instance just because some don't like it. People can make the distinction on their badge...

  20. petitoning a revocation

    Batman24 replied to teamgwin's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    Agreed. Get legal help from someone who specializes in this

  21. 911!! I need advice from anybody that can help!!!

    Batman24 replied to kaylsumrn2's topic in General Nursing

    I'd resign and get your resume out there ASAP. I absolutely believe you are telling the truth and your patient's mental illness is in play here, but you are fighting a losing battle. They will fire...

  22. I'm afraid for my pt. and afraid to go to work.

    Batman24 replied to Peggy4's topic in General Nursing

    Please call CPS at once so they can investigate and get this child the help he needs. If we suspect abuse it is out obligation to report it. Make the call today. Resign from that agency. They aren't...

  23. Vent re: Charging and staff being "Pulled" or Floated

    Batman24 replied to mjjlRN's topic in General Nursing

    I tend to worry a lot too but you shouldn't worry about this for one more second. The book said it was her turn. Not your fault she didn't write it in. That's her responsibility not yours. She was...

  24. Paramedics saying they are nurses---is this legal?

    Batman24 replied to nursebrandie28's topic in Emergency

    You should take this up the chain of command in writing where you work or call your BON and report it. Every time they sign as a RN if they aren't the documentation is inaccurate and false. If any of...

  25. Male RN student here

    Batman24 replied to JamesMC's topic in General Nursing

    Glad I made you feel a bit better, James. Feel free to PM me any time.
