  1. MD ordered placebo for pain PRN~would you give it?

    Batman24 replied to beetlebailey524's topic in General Nursing

    Agreed. If it part of a trial where patients are giving their consent and it's on the up and up that's fine. Anything else and not only would I want no part of it but I would be reporting

  2. MD ordered placebo for pain PRN~would you give it?

    Batman24 replied to beetlebailey524's topic in General Nursing

    Ditto that. Please don't let me die in terrible pain. Crank

  3. Male RN student here

    Batman24 replied to JamesMC's topic in General Nursing

    NS is stressful. I think your feelings are perfectly normal. You are a young guy and you could really use this degree to do so many things as time goes on. You might work in bedside for experience and...

  4. Would you put your initials on verbal orders?

    Batman24 replied to Thundercat's topic in General Nursing

    Not in a million years. PLEASE don't do

  5. Nana forced preemie newborn (less than 9 lbs at the time) to suck on a lollipop.

    Batman24 replied to a_new_grandma's topic in General Nursing

    I agree they need to be educated. Unfortunately given the way the OP talks about this family it sounds like there's bad blood and this just added to it. I hope the OP remembers they are her grandson's...

  6. Nana forced preemie newborn (less than 9 lbs at the time) to suck on a lollipop.

    Batman24 replied to a_new_grandma's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you for being a voice of reason. No damage was done. Educate the grandparents in a kind yet firm

  7. MD ordered placebo for pain PRN~would you give it?

    Batman24 replied to beetlebailey524's topic in General Nursing

    I wouldn't give it either. It's unethical. I would make your instructor aware of the situation. The nurse should have called the doctor to clarify and if he stated the order was accurate I would go to...

  8. Patients with long-standing family problems

    Batman24 replied to Pepper The Cat's topic in General Nursing

    I will never understand why someone visiting a patient let alone a family member wouldn't do everything they could to help them. Lazy slobs. Word of advice...if you think this lady might be going the...

  9. Patients with long-standing family problems

    Batman24 replied to Pepper The Cat's topic in General Nursing

    You did the right thing. I would have no qualms about calling security on him either. Hopefully he stays away now for a

  10. I am in deep.......someone please pm me for details.

    Batman24 replied to Spritenurse1210's topic in General Nursing

    I just PM'd

  11. what should I do about this call light?

    Batman24 replied to picurn10's topic in General Nursing

    Report the issue immediately so they can resolve it. This problem shouldn't have been allowed to go on for so long to begin with. And stay on your side where you are

  12. Its Just not fair! Good Nurse getting fired (probably)

    Batman24 replied to funsizedliv's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Just hand in your resignation and find another job. Even if they don't fire you this time they are going to fire you in the not so distant future. Move

  13. "Writing up" use or abuse

    Batman24 replied to zuzi's topic in General Nursing

    That's absurd. Whoever supervises them should instruct them to knock it

  14. Customer Service, Very Busy Day

    Batman24 replied to RN1020's topic in General Nursing

    I love that. It's factual and yet gets your point across. And I don't care if you are the King of England...my care doesn't change

  15. Customer Service, Very Busy Day

    Batman24 replied to RN1020's topic in General Nursing

    Ignore him and take care of your patients with real needs. You shouldn't even be washing the lips of someone who can wash his own. We are taught in NS that the patient should take care of their needs...

  16. My Family Tragedy: Passing of Showbizrn's Brother

    Batman24 replied to showbizrn's topic in General Nursing

    I am so sorry for the loss of your beloved brother and son. I hope you find peace. Please know all of you will be in my thoughts and prayers at this tragic time. Let this be a reminder to all to pick...

  17. Are call backs HIPAA violations?

    Batman24 replied to pm2rn's topic in General Nursing

    We don't do them but if we did I wouldn't leave a message. It's a slippery slope and I wouldn't go down

  18. Unfair treatment by co-workers/boss

    Batman24 replied to MultipNP's topic in Ob/Gyn

    That really is inexcusable. You should have told her to leave in both instances. She was wrong and she knows it. How dare she abuse her position. I would report these things to HR at once. It could...

  19. Sooo tired of patients complaining about foreign nurses' accents....

    Batman24 replied to nervousnurse's topic in General Nursing

    Bottom line is if you can't understand what your provider is saying many will ask for someone they can understand. I would. It's imperative you understand what your provider is saying and that you can...

  20. Should Personal Internet Use be Banned During Nursing Shifts?

    Batman24 replied to Anxious Patient's topic in General Nursing

    I use the Internet for work related issues. I have helped patients get hotels, flights, etc. using it. They would never take it away where I work. Many times we don't get a full lunch or a break and...

  21. Arguments Disfavoring Hourly Rounding

    Batman24 replied to CaLLaCoDe's topic in General Nursing

    We don't have an hourly rounding sheet. Thank God. I don't need any more paperwork. I'm in my patient's room or the CNA is every hour to check in and see how the patient is doing. Now if the patient...

  22. Health Provisions Slipped into Stimulus Package

    Batman24 replied to CinnScorpStudent's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I never knew this was even being discussed and I wonder how many others were ignorant to this being included as well. The President could have mentioned this in the hour he was on tv last night....

  23. Sick time and confidentiality

    Batman24 replied to riverkinz's topic in General Nursing

    If it's just that you were out sick on certain dates that wouldn't be a release of confidential information. If it is including what you are out for that would be a breach of confidentiality and...

  24. A family so nasty, I feel like quitting

    Batman24 replied to *ac*'s topic in General Nursing

    That happens to all of us at times, but you really have to learn not to let them control your feelings especially once you leave for the day. Truth is after you left they went right on and nagged the...

  25. My son called me lazy for being sleepy during the daytime!

    Batman24 replied to momofdandm's topic in General Nursing

    What is your work schedule?! It sounds very erratic. That can cause a lot of wear and tear. Do they have you working days one week and nights the next?! Is there anything you can do to change it?! I...
