  1. Nurses & Insurance

    Batman24 replied to RN_MishMish's topic in General Nursing

    I have NSO. It seems to be the most common one used here. It's not too expensive either. I wouldn't work without my own

  2. Help me understand Med Aides

  3. CMA or nursing??

    Batman24 replied to Sychosuki's topic in General Nursing

    I'd look into a community college RN program. The cost won't be bad and the RN pay will be much better than that of a MA. You will also have better advancement opportunities and a wider range of...

  4. If u were the patient,what type of nurse would you like to have?

    Batman24 replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    As this was a new rule I would have checked with everyone before throwing things away. Even if it wasn't a new rule I would have given everyone a chance to fix the problem because I would feel really...

  7. wacko cna

    Batman24 replied to Spritenurse1210's topic in General Nursing

    The CNA resigned?! That's great news. Sounds like your job was being done unless you had been reprimanded to the contrary. I wouldn't stress too much. The CNA was just ticked you were making her do...

  10. wacko cna

    Batman24 replied to Spritenurse1210's topic in General Nursing

    I do think this creates a hostile work environment and as such I would get HR and the DON involved ASAP. Let them know of the threats. The CNA is angry that you are holding her accountable for doing...

  11. This is really getting under my skin

    Batman24 replied to jennjen512's topic in General Nursing

    Calling yourself a nurse when you aren't one is misleading, immoral, and illegal. Chances are she so wants to be a nurse or likes that title better than aide, tech, etc. that she's just adopted it. It...

  12. I want her fired!!!!

    Batman24 replied to HisTreasure's topic in General Nursing

    Sad thing is if you allow patients and their families to abuse you many will do so. If they know management doesn't back their staff it will get even worse. Mnay are looking for a free ride. Set...

  14. Misjudged EMT

    Batman24 replied to Iam46yearsold's topic in Emergency

    If you can see down her top you can bet your bottom dollar that this EMT is in a long line of those that have seen her business before. I'm female and I've seen down women's shirts and I have no...

  15. I want to know about medical assisting field

    Batman24 replied to dayavincent's topic in General Nursing

    I would urge you to look into a community college RN program instead. It will be cheaper than MA schools which tend to run very, very high. You will also make a lot more money being a RN, have more...

  16. Bosses playing favorites

    Batman24 replied to whodunit's topic in General Nursing

    You need to pull your manager aside and calm stately your concerns. They should be calling staff of the same stature off on a rotating basis to be fair to all. If your manager doesn't make the change...

  17. Nursing schools with SANE policies

    Batman24 replied to carolanivey's topic in General Nursing

    I just went back and read more... Why was she thrown out of the program?! It appears she passed the class you were worried about and her average is above the requirement?! Did your daughter have any...

  18. Nursing schools with SANE policies

    Batman24 replied to carolanivey's topic in General Nursing

    The credits she has taken and passed with a C or better will transfer so know that all the work she has done won't be a waste. How many credits does she have?! I'd call a local community college and...

  19. Hospital Parking

    Batman24 replied to Riseupandnurse's topic in General Nursing

    We have a staff parking lot that has plenty of spots and it's not a far walk either. We're very lucky. Actually scratch lucky as I believe this is what should occur. Your parking sounds dangerous...

  20. Where to report?

    Batman24 replied to wkh092201's topic in General Nursing

    Your friend should have refused work that day. If they are still experiencing difficulties I'd have them get a doctor's note to excuse them and then stay home and heal. There is nothing for you to...

  21. Full Code Not Carried Out

    Batman24 replied to FELICIA33021's topic in General Nursing

    This is a situation where I would be grateful I wasn't the nurse and just kept about my own business. Chances are this was a mistake based on an assumption he was no code as he was terminal. I'm sure...

  22. Our unit clerk

    Batman24 replied to raindrop's topic in General Nursing

    Stay as far away from her whenever you can and keep the lip zipped whenever she is around. The others nurses and CNAs should do the same. She's an instigator and bad for

  23. Unethical Hiring Practices

    Batman24 replied to sophie12's topic in General Nursing

    I would call an employment lawyer ASAP and make a complaint with the Dept of Labor and your state Attorney General. They will not be pleased to see this happening. Keep a copy of your original...

  24. Eating at the nurses' station

    Batman24 replied to nursebrandie28's topic in General Nursing

    We're not allowed to eat at the nurse's desk as it's a JHACO violation. We do however have a break room that is very close by and very clean so we don't

  25. Taking a pay cut going to management

    Batman24 replied to CathyLew's topic in General Nursing

    They are taking advantage of you and horribly at that. You need to put your foot down today. You should absolutely not be footing the bill for training you are doing for them. You need a laptop for...
