  1. Improving patient satisfaction

    Batman24 replied to cskjjk's topic in General Nursing

    Hire additional staff. Many patients would benefit from a little more time with their nurses just to chat for a few minutes and provide a more human touch but with such short staffing it just can't be...

  3. Male nurses

    Batman24 replied to fsaav's topic in General Nursing

  6. $1000 Gift ---> How to spend it.

    Batman24 replied to Slobgob's topic in General Nursing

    Make it a gift card and it should cover a manicure. A gift card to a general store ala Target might also be a good idea. Granted it isn't much when broken down but it was a really nice gesture and...

  8. Nursing schools with SANE policies

    Batman24 replied to carolanivey's topic in General Nursing

    I've heard it's worse now too from those that have gone through the program. They've raised the passing a few points and that can be crucial. If it's one point and she knows she is close have her ask...

  13. Best way to get rid of visitors

    Batman24 replied to Blackcat99's topic in General Nursing

    If the procedure is something that a spouse, etc. can be present for then you look to the patient. Not all procedures allow for an audience depending on seriousness, space, etc. If family is allowed...

  15. Contributing to a group gift for your NM?

    Batman24 replied to *ac*'s topic in General Nursing

    Only give what you can afford and what you feel comfortable giving. I would say $5 is sufficient for the NM. It's a little token to show you appreciate what they

  16. Asked to stay late with call team w/out call team pay

    Batman24 replied to mooneyes65's topic in Operating Room

    Call HR and let them know what is going on. That'd be my first step. If you are working over 40 hours a week you should be getting time and a half. She sounds like she's on a total power trip and...

    Batman24 replied to NurseCard's topic in General Nursing

  20. Best way to get rid of visitors

    Batman24 replied to Blackcat99's topic in General Nursing

    You should ask visitors to leave the room not due to your lack of experience but because it is your job to provide the patient with privacy. This isn't about you but about the patient. If you ask...

  21. Best way to get rid of visitors

    Batman24 replied to Blackcat99's topic in General Nursing

    I firmly and politely state, "Everyone needs to leave the room for x amount of time." I then point them to the cafeteria, Starbucks, etc. You have to be firm and respectful at the same time. I also...

  22. Question about patient's death and ethical issue

    Batman24 replied to AZO49008's topic in General Nursing

    I'd have someone go and get the family from the cafeteria. If that couldn't be done I'd tell the family she died peacefully. I find that to be ethical given the circumstances. I wouldn't have a family...

    Batman24 replied to HealthCenterDirector's topic in General Nursing
