  1. Opinion Please...problem at work

    Batman24 replied to chenoaspirit's topic in General Nursing

    First off...shame on your CN for knowing Kim wouldn't help and not making her do so right then and there. The tail is wagging the dog and it needs to stop. You are going to need to establish a new...

  2. would like opinions on this letter please

    Batman24 replied to kermitlady's topic in General Nursing

    Your letter includes too many unknowns and what ifs. Keep it to the topic at hand and only the topic at hand. You were happy with the RN and doctors, but not the TN. Keep out the TN looking at the...

  3. Back Rubs

    Batman24 replied to Saifudin's topic in General Nursing

    I graduated NS last year and we weren't even taught how to give them so I don't. I do the lotion bit which should be standard care and I have helped soak many a foot and helped condition hair but I...

  4. I passed!!!

    Batman24 replied to SunnyAndrsn's topic in General Nursing

    Congrats Sunny!! WOO HOO!!

  5. How to deal with nasty LPNs.

    Batman24 replied to arabella205's topic in General Nursing

    I do some patient care every single shift and I'm an RN as well. The LPNs shouldn't be refusing to do patient care but they also shouldn't be asked to do their job and the CNAs entire job when down...

  6. Was this really a HIPAA violation

    Batman24 replied to rainbowsfolly's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    Did you give them a letter of resignation?! If you did then you wouldn't have been eligible for unemployment because you left of your own accord. And yes, if fired you can appeal unemployment and you...

  7. Was this really a HIPAA violation

    Batman24 replied to rainbowsfolly's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    I hate to see it but that was my first thought as well. Someone was good and ticked about the comments you made. I know you meant no harm but I think this might be what got things going downhill and...

  8. Was this really a HIPAA violation

    Batman24 replied to rainbowsfolly's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    You should have filed for unemployment the minute you were fired. Go Monday morning and apply. Just because you are fired doesn't mean you are ineligible for unemployment. That should be your first...

  9. tips on how to survive 12 hr shifts.

    Batman24 replied to arabella205's topic in General Nursing

    Good shoes, lots of water, and healthy snacks throughout the day. Sit whenever you can even when it's for a minute or two. And remember to pee!!

  10. Disruptive families in acute care settings

    Batman24 replied to 1Tulip's topic in General Nursing

    There has to be bondaries set as to what is acceptable behavior and what isn't. I'm with TN07 in that if they touch the patient's equipment and don't stop removing it when explained why the patient...

  11. What is your ED policy in these circumstances

    Batman24 replied to JessicRN's topic in Emergency

    I really think you need to get her superior and yours involved immediately. She's a danger to

  12. Referring to CMA's as nurses

    Batman24 replied to MemphisTiger's topic in General Nursing

    Your nursing license would include your address and I'm not up for sharing that with all patients. Not going to happen. My badge has my name and title. That's sufficient. I am all for all healthcare...

  13. Oh no! Now I'm the patient!

    Batman24 replied to Sonjailana's topic in General Nursing

    After a trauma like that you should never feel bad about going to the ER. You needed one and I'm so glad you went and were thoroughly checked out. Hope you feel better soon. Rest

  14. Going against the pt's wishes...

    Batman24 replied to Cindy-san's topic in General Nursing

    This has always distressed me. In the end many times the doctor lets the family make the decision even when the patient has made their wishes know verbally and in writing. I find it so sad that we...

  15. Referring to CMA's as nurses

    Batman24 replied to MemphisTiger's topic in General Nursing

    It's illegal and shouldn't be done. Report the office to the BON in your state. I don't know why people just don't refter to their staff and themselves as their appropriate title. There is nothing...

  16. Angry over lack of proper care by a nurse

    Batman24 replied to nurse grace RN's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I'm so sorry for your loss.

  17. My daughter's experience today in a Phoenix Emergency Room

    Batman24 replied to PeaceonearthRN's topic in Emergency

    I'm glad she got a referral to an orthopedist. That's exactly what she needs. I hope she gets the medical attention she needs and starts on her road to

  18. How to Fight HR for RN job I want

    Batman24 replied to mdiamond68's topic in General Nursing

    Talk to employee relations and remain calm and professional. My guess is they want you to keep the job you originally accepted as it is a hard slot to fill. While I can understand their frustration...

  19. Should Doctors Have Guns?

    Batman24 replied to Anxious Patient's topic in General Nursing

    I agree they have the same right to carry a gun as everyone else but I don't see most docs bringing their gun into the office with them. They would have to carry it from their office after...

  20. What would you do? (a little long!)

    Batman24 replied to GaMBA's topic in General Nursing

    Go the p/t BSN route and keep your current jobs, benefits, etc. You will have more opportunities available to you as a RN than a LPN. I also liked the suggestion someone had above about your current...

  21. Are all newer nurses scape goats?

    Batman24 replied to kambra's topic in General Nursing

    Correct. Never sign anything you disagree with. This is great

  22. Are all newer nurses scape goats?

    Batman24 replied to kambra's topic in General Nursing

    Oh yeah. This is a huge problem. I would take this up with her superior. She can't be falsifying docs and her manager needs to be made aware of the situation pronto. This puts the facility at great...

  23. What should I do? Nursing Supervisor intercepting and playing doctor

    Batman24 replied to amy0123's topic in General Nursing

    I would absolutely report it. She's a danger to patients. Put it in writing because it's harder for them to ignore when there is a paper trail in

  24. Just a little night shift venting about day shift...

    Batman24 replied to iLovemyJackRT's topic in General Nursing

    We had a night shift nurse fired last week for chronic tardiness. Day and night shifts are very nice and very professional so she really was a exception to the rule. We all get along well and help...

  25. Beat up by Press Ganey !

    Batman24 replied to time4meRN's topic in General Nursing

    Nor are they nursing isses and nurses shouldn't be dinged for things they can't and don't control. We don't even have PG and I get infuriated for fellow nurses, etc. that have to put up with
