  1. Awful PCA situation

    Batman24 replied to feralnostalgia's topic in General Nursing

    I would wait until help is in place before leaving him alone with Sarah. She's mentally ill. Can you put off your move until that

  2. Should I go to work tomorrow

    Batman24 replied to bunnie004's topic in General Nursing

    CALL OUT. You are too sick to provide competent care and you can truly harm your patients that are already at risk. Call out early enough that they can try and find a replacement. And hold firm if...

  3. Let's Hear It for Med Surg!

    Batman24 replied to stellina615's topic in General Nursing

    I'm M/S and really love it. No two days are ever the same and you see such a wide variety of patients that you learn constantly. My hospital won't hire anyone into specialty units until they have 1...

  4. HIPAA VIOLATION!

    Batman24 replied to mehart2001's topic in General Nursing

    You called the police and the ISNAP. Isn't that enough? Why not let them handle it form here on out? You sound like you are trying to jam him up as much as you can. Let it go and let them do their...

  5. My pt accused my coworker of taking her Percocets! (long)

    Batman24 replied to shoegalRN's topic in General Nursing

    You handled the situation very well. You did exactly what you should do and have no reason to feel badly about any of it. It really could go either way. I'd prefer it to be the patient lying versus...

  6. Charting for another nurse

    Batman24 replied to mominsd's topic in General Nursing

    Never risk your license. This DON should know better than to even ask. Good for you as a new grad not to be pressured into something you know is wrong. Shame on them. If you can't chart for yourself...

  7. Shady shift change

    Batman24 replied to 86toronado's topic in General Nursing

    They're covering their own asses. This wasn't horizontal hostility. This was patient abandonment and they know it. They should have been fired and reported to the BON. I would document what happened...

  8. Shady shift change

    Batman24 replied to 86toronado's topic in General Nursing

    Patient abandonment. There is no doubt about that. Report it at once and don't feel an ounce guilty about doing

  9. New Grad - Offering to Work for Minimum Wage?

    Batman24 replied to Music in My Heart's topic in General Nursing

    I wouldn't and I hope other RNs wouldn't either. We are already underpaid and we don't need people volunteering to be nurses for $7-$8/hour. You could be a waitress or bartender for 3x that per hour...

  10. Good patient?

    Batman24 replied to nrsman1's topic in General Nursing

    I don't really see patients as good versus bad. I like when patients ask questions. That's a good thing. It shows they are coherent and looking to get better. They want to contribute to their...

  11. Clueless Patients and The Problems They Cause

    Batman24 replied to AngelfireRN's topic in General Nursing

    Many are just very scared and feel very defenseless. They go to their family to discuss because that is who they feel safest with. Try not to take offensive as my guess is the vast majority really...

  12. Insurance - The Latest Outrage

    Batman24 replied to Vito Andolini's topic in General Nursing

    Read this and see if it applies to your situation. It could save you tons of money if it does....

  13. "technician" dispensing meds under RN's licence (??)

    Batman24 replied to laurasc's topic in General Nursing

    I would never let anyone pass meds under my

  14. my ex made a false report to JCAHO

    Batman24 replied to law3576's topic in General Nursing

    Call a lawyer. Be sure to keep that message he sent. Really horrible that he is trying to destroy you. Good thing is you know it and have a text from him questioning you in regards to it. DON'T reply...

  15. What is the difference between a sitter and a cna???

    Batman24 replied to misspink789's topic in General Nursing

    If they want you to sit and take care of the ADL you should be paid accordingly. Don't let them pay you as a sitter if you are acting as the CNA as well. Some places will take advantage of you if they...

  16. 4 month old baby denied insurance coverage for being obese

    Batman24 replied to lovepink's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    i think your hubby would have been because he must he been higher than the 95th percentile. as a preemie you might have been as well. interesting question. i would think you'd have been in the...

  17. Disgusted!

    Batman24 replied to rawrn's topic in General Nursing

    $16/hour is horrible for a RN. I made almost $35/hour as a new grad a few years back. I live in an expensive area. I like the idea of finding out a direct contact and sending a nice letter. Don't get...

  18. 4 month old baby denied insurance coverage for being obese

    Batman24 replied to lovepink's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Ignorance at it's finest. He's 4 month old for crying old loud. He was 9 pounds at birth. What do they expect? 99th percentile in height and 50th percentile in weight? How stupid. Give me a

  19. Awful PCA situation

    Batman24 replied to feralnostalgia's topic in General Nursing

    They will definitely want Sarah out of that home. She's not well and she doesn't even have the basic skills and knowledge to care for him. They might get a qualified person to move into the home or...

  20. Nurse Manager threatening to report me to BRN...

    Batman24 replied to Cosper123's topic in General Nursing

    1) Call the BON. 2) Don't tell your boss or anyone you work with that you contacted the BON. 3) If they advise you to write something keep it short and sweet. "Saw X with his eyes closed at X...

  21. Help..fellow RN breaking into co-workers E mail

    Batman24 replied to iluvivt's topic in General Nursing

    Definitely change your password daily. Put your complaint about him in writing. That is harder to sweep under the rug and it gets a paper trail

  22. When to draw the line on religious and cultural accomodation?

    Batman24 replied to Inspired By Silence's topic in General Nursing

    I always treat my patients with respect and always will. If I heard some of the comments I read here I wouldn't call them ignorant but I sure would think it about them. Thankfully I've yet to hear a...

  23. How do you feel about this?

    Batman24 replied to 1TachyRN's topic in General Nursing

    I'd be looking for another job if my facility ever tried a stunt like this. They want cookies they can make them for the patients. This is just idiocy at it's finest. These people need 24/7 care. They...

  24. LPN....I'm still a nurse, right??

    Batman24 replied to kkluczynski's topic in General Nursing

    Of course you are a nurse. Ignore the egomaniac. There are people out there who put down others because they are insecure, weak, and mean. Ignore them and hold your head high,

  25. I was violated by a doctor

    Batman24 replied to abbaking's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    It doesn't sound like this doctor was shoving his personal beliefs down your throat at all. He was right to ask questions about your medical history and his concern was valid. Your symptoms could have...
