  1. How do you get out on time?

    Batman24 replied to Riseupandnurse's topic in General Nursing

    What are your scheduled hours?! Just curious. I work M/S as well and I'm usually there 1/2 hour to 45 minutes after shift on a busy day. Our unit is pretty accepting of nurses handing things over...

  2. senior staff bullying?--in tears

    Batman24 replied to crazyaaa's topic in General Nursing

    That's the stance you should take. If the nurse taking over Tyler's care didn't mind washing the bottle it was none of Jenny's business. You should have thanked Sue and walked out the door. Period....

  3. Someone forged my signature!!!

    Batman24 replied to kermitlady's topic in General Nursing

    I hope she gets the help she needs but I have no compassion for her in regards to forging a nurse's name not once but twice. She put them at serious risk on several fronts. She's a danger to those she...

  4. Someone forged my signature!!!

    Batman24 replied to kermitlady's topic in General Nursing

    I'm so sorry this happened to you. I'm glad you caught it early and reported it to the DON. Be sure to follow up in writing just to have a paper trail and protect yourself even further. Pls keep us...

  5. Layoffs will be announced at my facility on Monday

    Batman24 replied to SuesquatchRN's topic in General Nursing

    I'll be praying for you, sweetie. Sending good thoughts and hugs your way. I really hope it works out. Pls keep us

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

    Batman24 replied to nervousnurse's topic in General Nursing

    I'm with all of those who feel it is a valid concern and can be an additional stressor for patients. If I couldn't understand what my doctor or nurse was saying I would ask for another one as well....

  7. New Head Nurse---how will this turn out?

    Batman24 replied to Riseupandnurse's topic in General Nursing

    I would see how things go for a few weeks. Sometimes people in new positions come out swinging and aggressive but calm down after a bit. If they remain this way and continue in calling nurses out or...

  8. Help! Scared to call HR to take back acceptance of job offer

    Batman24 replied to rachel629's topic in General Nursing

    Call tomorrow and get it done. You'll be fine and they will be as well. Glad you found a job better suited to your needs.

  9. precaution meetings

    Batman24 replied to RedWeasel's topic in General Nursing

    Huge HIPAA violation being done by the CN. You need a HIPAA inservice done immediately and it should include your CEO. Either they know better and are ignoring it or they are grossly ignorant to the...

  10. How can I work specifically with GLBT patients?

    Batman24 replied to Serendipity, PCT's topic in General Nursing

    If you have a calling to work with the GLBT community you should follow your heart. I'm sure you will be a blessing to some people who aren't always treated with the respect and care they deserve....

  11. Are you forced to practice IV's and injections on each other in nursing school?

    Batman24 replied to kroegerk's topic in General Nursing

    We didn't. It doesn't seem to happen as much as it once did due to liability issues. Neither cc in my area allows

  12. Pt. nonresponsive on transfer to SNF

    Batman24 replied to southernbeegirl's topic in General Nursing

    I hope he gets better too. I'm sure they will be eternally grateful to you and your facility. Unfortunately it sounds like they have a good case against the hospital, but I'd bet they'd rather just...

  13. Advice for NET exam needed....

    Batman24 replied to denise0815's topic in General Nursing

    Hi. Click on this linkS below for additional info. Make sure you buy the NET Study Guide. If you can pass the tests in the book you will ace the test. :)...

  14. Question for Experienced Nurses

    Batman24 replied to Scooter5's topic in General Nursing

    I would only go to an accredited

  15. Zero Lift Law= Zero Compensation for Injury under L&I

    Batman24 replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    Great advice. TY.

  16. Zero Lift Law= Zero Compensation for Injury under L&I

    Batman24 replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    Good

  17. Zero Lift Law= Zero Compensation for Injury under L&I

    Batman24 replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    I wouldn't lift without it from here on out. I'd also be documenting left and right AND filling out IRs left and right to protect yourself. Idiocy. And I agree with lorticus...you could hurt yourself...

  18. Would this have happened to a boy?

    Batman24 replied to everthesame's topic in General Nursing

    It sounds like she has two things wrong...an inflamed appendix and a cyst. I would think her appendix needs to come out. If she is still in terrible pain I would take her to the ER immediately. You...

  19. Male Nurses/female Patients

    Batman24 replied to ern91's topic in Men in Nursing

    If a patient refuses your care you document it. Thoroughly. You don't proceed as patients have the right to refuse medical care. Period. I would let your CN know of the refusal as well to further...

  20. Should I work as a CNA while waiting on nursing school?

    Batman24 replied to wam1974's topic in General Nursing

    Stick with your social work job and keep making as much money as you can for now. I had to become a CNA for NS as well and never worked as one either. I had no problem getting a job without working as...

  21. Looking for a sterling silver RN pendant

    Batman24 replied to BeachGirl08's topic in General Nursing

    This site has two you might like. I like the disc one on the end in the second link. Your best bet might be to find a good jeweler and have an original made. I have a feeling you are looking for...

  22. the same oversight occurs again and again

    Batman24 replied to oramar's topic in General Nursing

    Exactly. She thought her friend had the flu that was going around. That's what we all would have thought too. Please tell your friend to not be so hard on herself. She did nothing wrong. I hope the...

  23. CNA Issue

    Batman24 replied to firstyearstudent's topic in General Nursing

    If this was the first time I caught this behavior I would take the CNA aside and let them know their comments were unacceptable, unkind, and unprofessional. If they did it again I would write them up...

  24. Good Old HIPAA Violation!

    Batman24 replied to shodobe's topic in General Nursing

    I like that your employer was very strict here. Employees have the same right to privacy as all other patients but that often doesn't seem to be the case. Many are leery of even being treated at their...

  25. Negotiating Salary

    Batman24 replied to RNgonewild's topic in General Nursing

    Figure out what you feel is a good and fair salary for this position and then go 15-20% higher to give yourself room to negotiate. This is very important so you don't back yourself into a corner. They...
