  1. Would you have done the same? Recieved wrong prescription.

    Batman24 replied to RN BSN 2009's topic in General Nursing

    I'm glad you were able to resolve the issue with the manager. It sounds like steps were put in place to ensure this doesn't happen again which is very important. I'm also pleased to read that the...

  2. Vent: Husband lost job today with no warning

    Batman24 replied to Melinurse's topic in General Nursing

    I'm glad he has a job until October. That will give you time to prepare and will lighten the stress some. It sounds like this might end up being a blessing in disguise if he will return to school and...

  3. So, tell me again why you suddenly want to be a nurse...?

    Batman24 replied to JoblessRN's topic in General Nursing

    If they can pass the pre-reqs and entrance test I will gladly welcome all to the field. As long as people are willing to provide quality and compassionate care I will greet them with open arms. Of...

  4. Vent: Husband lost job today with no warning

    Batman24 replied to Melinurse's topic in General Nursing

    This happened to a lot of employees from Lehman as well. It's sad when employees find out from the news versus their employer. It shouldn't go down that way. Have your husband file for unemployment...

  5. Would you have done the same? Recieved wrong prescription.

    Batman24 replied to RN BSN 2009's topic in General Nursing

    I wouldn't call the name listed on the prescription. I would follow up with the pharm tech's superior to let them know of the situation and ensure it doesn't happen

  6. Do you have your own malpractice insurance?

    Batman24 replied to ittybittybabynurse's topic in General Nursing

    I wouldn't step foot in a facility without having my own insurance. I use NSO as

  7. New CMS payment, what Hospitals are not reimbursed for:

    Batman24 replied to lpnflorida's topic in General Nursing

    Yup. They have us in a can't win situation. They have the right to fall but if they do they won't pay. The stupidity is

  8. no one will return the favor and HELP OUT

    Batman24 replied to chenoaspirit's topic in General Nursing

    It's terrible that one nurse has 2 patients and another nurse has a full load. I couldn't imagine one of my fellow nurses making excuses and sitting on their asses when another one of us was drowning....

  9. New CMS payment, what Hospitals are not reimbursed for:

    Batman24 replied to lpnflorida's topic in General Nursing

    I disagree with 99% of it. Some of it no matter what we do can't be avoided because different people react differently. And it's all about the government avoiding to pay. The biggest shame of it is...

  10. New CMS payment, what Hospitals are not reimbursed for:

    Batman24 replied to lpnflorida's topic in General Nursing

    It's sanity. Make sure everyone has a MRSA and urine screening before admissions to try and protect yourselves. There are things on that list you just can't control. If you want to ensure a patient...

  11. New CMS payment, what Hospitals are not reimbursed for:

    Batman24 replied to lpnflorida's topic in General Nursing

    Don't even get me

  12. In over my head and don't know what to do!

    Batman24 replied to heyheyhey35's topic in General Nursing

    RUN. You aren't qualified for this position and your employer knows it. Don't risk your license or the lives of your patients. Get out

  13. Going to work sick?

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

    If you are too sick to provide competent care you should call out. If you think you can plow through one shift I would drink lots of fluids and try to sit whenever you ca for a minute or two. Also,...

  14. License Reinstatement After Revoke Is There Hope?

    Batman24 replied to robigayle's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I'm sop glad we could all help. You should be proud of yourself that you have been clean for 5 years. I wish you tons of luck and really hope you will keep us posted on how things go. Hugs.

  15. License Reinstatement After Revoke Is There Hope?

    Batman24 replied to robigayle's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I agree with the above...you need to call the BON and then do as they advise. I think there is a good chance you will be reinstated if you provide them the info they need and you are willing to check...

  16. HELP! Will this school be ok??

    Batman24 replied to hope2rn's topic in General Nursing

    I wouldn't go there until they are accredited. I would check our the RN program at your local community college in regards to their AD program. As you already have a BS chances are you have some of...

  17. Patient making false allegations against nurse

    Batman24 replied to sunnyshine's topic in General Nursing

    If you have malpractice insurance call them ASAP and let them know what is going on. Being placed on administrative leave so they can investigate is standard. They have to do that even if they know...

  18. Well, I was spared being laid off but I'm still down

    Batman24 replied to SuesquatchRN's topic in General Nursing

    Glad you were spared but I understand all too well how dreadful downsizing can be. It's awful to witness. I'll pray for all those who lost their jobs that they get new jobs

  19. Holding each other accountable..

    Batman24 replied to RN1982's topic in General Nursing

    Your manager should be involved if there is an ongoing problem with patient care. I would try talking to her one more time and if that doesn't work start a paper trail to cover your own heinie. Once...

  20. When to call out sick

    Batman24 replied to NurseyPoo7's topic in General Nursing

    That's adorable. I bet they were delighted to help out. So cute. And the nurse was prob happy to make the money and get a hand as feeding 9 puppies is a chore. Good

  21. Should the illness of an "important person" be revealed?

    Batman24 replied to Anxious Patient's topic in General Nursing

    I think I might have given a confusing reply. lol I misunderstood a bit and was referring to the information being released by medical professionals. We are of course to keep all patient information...

  22. Did AIDS patient can share same room with other patient?

    Batman24 replied to Ilikelemontea's topic in General Nursing

    I would be surprised if a patient with full blown AIDS was sharing a room. That could be very dangerous to their already comprised state. They should be in a private room and money really shouldn't be...

  23. Anonymous Complaints - Have you ever received one?

    Batman24 replied to rolland542's topic in General Nursing

    They should take those anonymous surverys and dump them in the garbage. They mean squat. If someone has a valid complaint they will call and be willing to use their name. With the anonymous surveys...

  24. Should the illness of an "important person" be revealed?

    Batman24 replied to Anxious Patient's topic in General Nursing

    It should only be revealed by the person who is ill. It is their decision and should remain that way. They are entitled to the same medical confidentiality and HIPAA protections that we all

  25. I did take care of her and was at her side when she died

    Batman24 replied to ShayRN's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sure you were a blessing to this woman and her family in her time of need. I'm so glad she died in peace surrounded by those who truly love her. Thank you for being such a loving and caring
