  1. Mrs. Doctor, I don't care what he does

    Batman24 replied to lpnflorida's topic in General Nursing

    If hospital policy is gown and gloves I would be very leery of allowing them in the room without them regardless of who her husband is. This can put the hospital at tremendous liability if they get...

  2. The letters on my badge doesn't trump your experience! ughh

    Batman24 replied to ZooMommyRN's topic in General Nursing

    She's lazy, jealous and passive aggressive. More importantly she's leaving patients in discomfort by not following doctor's orders and putting the hsopital at risk. I'd absolutely get a paper trail...

  3. Do nurses talk about their patients when the leave

    Batman24 replied to Ms. Nurse Assistant's topic in General Nursing

    Pls don't give this another thought. It wouldn't even register on my radar. I like the idea of a thin shirt if it makes you more comfortable but trust me chances are they don't even give it a second...

  4. Can nurse ask family to wait outside while doing treatment

    Batman24 replied to muleboy's topic in General Nursing

    my heart breaks for patients like this one. i'd bet money they are the reason he's

  5. Can nurse ask family to wait outside while doing treatment

    Batman24 replied to muleboy's topic in General Nursing

    I didn't realize the order was to call the family. I would do it then and if they don't answer I'd document and give as needed. I wouldn't leave a patient in discomfort if I couldn't reach them. The...

  6. Can nurse ask family to wait outside while doing treatment

    Batman24 replied to muleboy's topic in General Nursing

    Agreed. I would be leery of not giving meds as ordered. I'd give them until the doc officially dc'd them. The doc sounds spineless. I also would have them step out for anything of an intimate nature....

  7. Patient claims abuse (sorry Long!)

    Batman24 replied to core34's topic in General Nursing

    DON'T go into her room alone. Make sure you have someone with you at all times. If you weren't involved in this conversation I'd urge you to tell the RN who was involved to write up a IR to cover...

  8. Can nurse ask family to wait outside while doing treatment

    Batman24 replied to muleboy's topic in General Nursing

    I always ask everyone to leave the room and then defer to the patient if they ask for someone to stay. Depending on what is being done sometimes they want family in the room and sometimes they don't....

  9. What do I do now? Transfer or quit?

    Batman24 replied to nerdtonurse?'s topic in General Nursing

    I'd be out of there before the review. It's sweet that you are concerned about your co-workers but they can opt to leave as well if they see fit. It sounds like you are well liked and respected by...

  10. Oh well, I tried..........

    Batman24 replied to CathRN's topic in Operating Room

    Agreed on all counts. I would definitely push this issue

    Batman24 replied to ohmeowzer RN's topic in General Nursing

    I'm so happy your little baby is doing better. Your vet sounds not just hughly qualified but as compassionate as they come. Kitty is lucky to have great care and a wonderful mommy.

  12. WHAT A WEEK!!! and its not even over yet.

    Batman24 replied to AnnieOaklyRN's topic in General Nursing

    I hope you are feeling better and that work is going well today. I also pray they catch the thief who stole your credit card. That's infuriating.

  13. Hotline backfire

    Batman24 replied to grooveyredhead's topic in General Nursing

    I looked it up and I think it pertains to the state of Washington and their guidelines. Is that correct?! Are they sanctioning you?! Reporting you to BON?! I'm sorry but I am very confused. I don't...

  14. what makes nursing school so hard?

    Batman24 replied to kgheen09's topic in General Nursing

    It's all consuming. You will spend most of your free time studying and getting prepared for your next class and clinical. It's doable so don't stress too much. Incorporate good study habits now and...

  15. The gift that keeps on hurting

    Batman24 replied to mazy's topic in General Nursing

    I'm so sorry for your loss, sweetie. I totally relate to how you deal with loss because I'm also someone who tends to keep it in and keep moving on no matter what which is the wrong way to deal with...

    Batman24 replied to Charmeleon's topic in General Nursing

    I'm in NJ. This was the time frame at two local community colleges. Sorry I couldn't be of more

  17. Micro prerequisite expiration

    Batman24 replied to Charmeleon's topic in General Nursing

    My school accepted Micro and AP I/II if taken within the past 8 years. They wouldn't accept any of them it if done through an online course. It all depends on the

  18. Lowered my pay, didn't tell me? Don't know what to do?

    Batman24 replied to liberty_bell's topic in General Nursing

    Please do!! I'm dying to hear what they say!! If they don't comply you can have the state follow up and deal with it. Good

  20. Your a nurse--You should know better!!

    Batman24 replied to racing-mom4's topic in General Nursing

    I tell ya no good deed goes unpunished. lol For the record Red Rover was one of my fave childhood games and SHOCKER I never ripped an arm out of its socket or suffered an abdominal/head injury. The...

  21. Vent lazy nurses/techs dont want to answer call light

    Batman24 replied to lovehospital's topic in General Nursing

    As you continue with school and go on to graduate and become a working nurse you will come to see that things aren't always as they appear. Not seeing a nurse or CNA running at top speed doesn't mean...

  22. Lowered my pay, didn't tell me? Don't know what to do?

    Batman24 replied to liberty_bell's topic in General Nursing

    Just curious if you told your supervisor what happened. It appears the business manager did this but I would check and see if your superior is aware this is happening. Be sure the business manager was...

  23. What should I do? I think I goofed!!

    Batman24 replied to WinterGirlyRN's topic in General Nursing

    Best to come clean. Keep it short and simple. Don't go on and on. Hopefully if worded right it won't become a huge issue and they'll just sign. Do it now and get it done versus continuing to stress...

  24. Had a transvaginal exam, and I'm depressed.

    Batman24 replied to Jo Dirt's topic in General Nursing

    Sending good thoughts and prayers your way in hopes that everything will be just fine. Try not to panic. I hope you hear from your doc very soon. I'm sure the waiting is torture.

  25. I just cannot take care of her.

    Batman24 replied to ShayRN's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think you are being selfish at all. How will you feel when she dies?! Will you feel guilty that you weren't her nurse at that time or will you regret not caring for?! I'm not implying you...
