  1. We need visiting hours!! Does anybody have them?

    Batman24 replied to Riseupandnurse's topic in General Nursing

    We have visiting hours. I work days but if I fill in at night I can see that the majority leave after the announcement is made. If someone stays over and they aren't bothering the patient or making...

  2. Why did his nurses do this?

    Batman24 replied to Nurse SMS's topic in General Nursing

    I'm so sorry for your loss. And I'm so happy to read that he was surrounded by a loving family and compassionate care in his dying days. The nurses knew he was just a little boy in pain. It's...

  3. Have had 4 days off now anxious

    Batman24 replied to kambra's topic in General Nursing

    Only worry about what you can control. I worry a lot too and that is what I am trying to do this year. If someone wrote you up, you made a mistake, etc. you can't control it. You also can't do...

  4. nurses under the care of a psychiatrist

    Batman24 replied to tolerantgirl's topic in General Nursing

    I'm so sorry for your loss, sweetie. Of course you can and should get the help you need. Many nurses are in therapy. You will be far from the first. I would find someone who specializes in grief...

  5. personal problems lead to license revocation?

    Batman24 replied to SwampCat's topic in General Nursing

    They aren't going to take away someone's license based on an allegation nor should they. Not all allegations are true. You could have a fight with your neighbor over a tree and for spite they could...

  6. EMTALA LAWS protecting patient

    Batman24 replied to nkochrn's topic in Emergency

    Document, document, document whenever he is in your care. That's the best thing you can do to protect yourself. And I would take a witness into the room with you. All of you should do that if you...

  7. changing my user name

    Batman24 replied to ohmeowzer RN's topic in General Nursing

    My beloved Nova died Nov 6th. I'm still devastated. Her death has been more painful than any human death I've experienced. It's so hard to lose our animals. I had her cremated and I also had all her...

  8. changing my user name

    Batman24 replied to ohmeowzer RN's topic in General Nursing

    That really does take gall.

  9. changing my user name

    Batman24 replied to ohmeowzer RN's topic in General Nursing

    Seriously...what's next?! You adopted so you aren't a real mom either. People can be

  10. changing my user name

    Batman24 replied to ohmeowzer RN's topic in General Nursing

    That is disgusting. I would have told them to MTOB. I can't believe the gall of some people. Yeesh. P.S.-A stepmother is a real mother. Never let anyone make you feel bad about

  11. Nurses & Emergency Scenes

    Batman24 replied to rnffemtguy's topic in General Nursing

    I think it's nice that people are still willing to help even in today's litigious society. A simple, "Thank you for stopping to help but we have it covered" could go a long way. It would be nice if...

  12. Did I make the right Decision?

    Batman24 replied to Spritenurse1210's topic in General Nursing

    Of course you did the right thing. I'd be leery of anyone who said you

  13. Caving under pressure

    Batman24 replied to garciadiego's topic in General Nursing

    Agreed. Rarely when a threat like that is made do things go well. I would find another job ASAP and one where the stress level isn't so high. I think that will work best for you. In the interim...SLOW...

  14. I don't want surgery!

    Batman24 replied to Tait's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sorry you need surgery. I'd be scared too but I really think you will be just fine. Reading everyone else's experiences probably will ease some of your stress. Feel better soon.

  15. Please don't change my schedule and not tell me..

    Batman24 replied to RN1982's topic in General Nursing

    You strike me as being a very dependable nurse given how worried about your co-workers you were when you thought they made the error. I'm sure they know you to be reliable and kind so pls don't sweat...

  16. Liability insurance

    Batman24 replied to Sterren's topic in General Nursing

    NSO. I wouldn't step foot into a facility without it. And you don't have to announce to anyone that you have it but a nurse would be foolish not to carry it. You need to protect yourself at all

  17. Ethical dillema

    Batman24 replied to twister431's topic in General Nursing

    It could be given in higher doses for pain relief to keep the patient comfortable. I would find it unethical not to give additional morphine to a dying patient in

  18. Reamed for ordering an ethics consult

    Batman24 replied to WalkieTalkie's topic in General Nursing

    You did the right thing. Good for you for beign a nurse who advocates for her patients when they are too ill to advocate for themselves. I hope the remaing won't cause you to hesitate to take the same...

  19. Please don't change my schedule and not tell me..

    Batman24 replied to RN1982's topic in General Nursing

    You go girl!! :yeah::yeah: Totally off topic but I just noticed this :paw: and I freakin' love it.

  20. Please don't change my schedule and not tell me..

    Batman24 replied to RN1982's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sure they will have an extra shift they want you to work now that you said you would. Don't feel obligated to work a shift that leaves you tired or having to cancel ready made plans. This is their...

  21. pls help me get through with this..

    Batman24 replied to lonelytoday's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I'm sorry your marriage ended. I don't know if you passed or not, but it sounds like you did well based on your initial reaction after you took the exam. And what you will do in the event you didn't...

  22. How to deal with nasty LPNs.

    Batman24 replied to arabella205's topic in General Nursing

    You didn't explain this clearly in your original post. Part of the problem could be proper communication and making sure everything is clear and concise on your end. And pls know I mean that to help...

  23. Please don't change my schedule and not tell me..

    Batman24 replied to RN1982's topic in General Nursing

    Why are you worrying when you did nothing wrong?! I don't even think you have to send an email if you don't want to. This isn't your fault and can be addressed next time you are on shift if it even...

    Batman24 replied to kermitlady's topic in General Nursing

    That's where I was going with my comments earlier. This letter is much better. Sticks to the

  25. Please don't change my schedule and not tell me..

    Batman24 replied to RN1982's topic in General Nursing

    I don't like it because it sounds like you are the one ready to take blame when you know in your heart you did nothing wrong. I would let them know you were made aware of the situation and that in the...
