  1. What Would You Like to Chart if You Can Get Away With It?

    Batman24 replied to pagandeva2000's topic in General Nursing

    Patient once again asked for carrot juice. Nurse once again informed patient we don't have any and no, the nurse won't be calling the doctor to see if we can buy her a juicer. If patient asks again...

  2. Forced to be charge without the pay???

    Batman24 replied to Nacki's topic in General Nursing

    I know the CNs get extra money where I work and I think they should. I don't blame you for wanting to get out of that

  3. Double Glove with HIV positive patients

    Batman24 replied to abbaking's topic in General Nursing

    I double glove quite a bit. I have had gloves with holes previously and my hands tend to get little nicks and cuts at work. You don't announce to the patient you are double gloving or why. You just...

  4. Starting IV's in Med Surg?

    Batman24 replied to scoobysnax's topic in General Nursing

    You will definitely do more than your fair share of IVs in M/S. If you are worried about starting them pls don't be. You get really good at them fairly

  5. CNA issues.....

    Batman24 replied to Virgo_RN's topic in General Nursing

    Boundaries need to be set immediately with this CNA. He needs to be told what his job responsiblities are...water, toileting, baths, etc. He needs to be told what he can and can't discuss with...

  6. Scripting

    Batman24 replied to deannawilliam's topic in General Nursing

    I hate the idea of mandatory scripting being done in hospitals. Patients should be treated as individuals not bodies in beds. What's appropriate to say to one patient is totally inappropriate for...

  7. Nurses eat anybody young old and indifferent

    Batman24 replied to madwife2002's topic in General Nursing

    All the docs don't think not one nurse on the whole unit is doing appropriate head to toe assessments?! I call bullsh*t. I don't for a second think all the docs complained about every single nurse....

  8. Do you arrest abusive patients?

    Batman24 replied to RNin92's topic in Emergency

    Bravo!! I hate to read about hospitals who always blame the victim and try to pressure them to drop charges, etc. It's disgusting. Good for you for staying the course and protecting yourself and other...

  9. Questioning Doctor's Order

    Batman24 replied to pagandeva2000's topic in General Nursing

    "Kiss where I twist"...that's my new fave line.

  12. An Eye Opener on Ovarian Cancer

    Batman24 replied to FranEMTnurse's topic in General Nursing

    I'd like to see this test become standard at the GYN and covered by insurance. It can only serve to help us. Thanks for the

  13. Questioning Doctor's Order

    Batman24 replied to pagandeva2000's topic in General Nursing

    Well done. In regards to pharmacists I document who I spoke to, time, why, etc. I do it as loicatus does above...simply and without any personal

  14. Background Check and Credit check???

    Batman24 replied to hotmama2be's topic in General Nursing

    I give out very little authorization or information these days. Employers, etc. are on a very strict need to know basis. I don't give my phone # or address in stores nor do I hand over my driver's...

  15. Do you sign "RN' after your name OUTSIDE of the hospital?

    Batman24 replied to uscstu4lfe's topic in General Nursing

    I don't but not sure if I ever did it by accident and didn't catch it.

  16. question, hope this is okay.

    Batman24 replied to caraway's topic in Ob/Gyn

    You should only choose a path that makes you happy but I bet you would be a wonderful CNM or L&D nurse given your bad experiences. You would be a great patient advocate and really be able to help...

  17. Staff Carrying Pyjamas On Night Shift!!

    Batman24 replied to adoyo's topic in General Nursing

    On call docs are allowed to sleep. Happens all the time. Never seen anyone change into pajamas. They sleep in

    Batman24 replied to Calibean's topic in General Nursing

    Congrats!! Always nice to read good news!! I'm so happy for

  19. work dilemma, 2 12's or 3 8's???

    Batman24 replied to Piki's topic in General Nursing

    Their scheduling seems to be a big part of the problem as it appears no one is fully day or fully night shift but required to do a combo of both. I could never do that. That can wreck havoc on your...

  20. Too respectful to doctors?

    Batman24 replied to nursemike's topic in General Nursing

    I find this an odd question and one that isn't entirely appropriate as it could be interpreted in very different ways. I also see it leading to a lot of trouble amongst staff so I'd be curious too see...

  21. question, hope this is okay.

    Batman24 replied to caraway's topic in Ob/Gyn

    You need to find another OB/GYN pronto after being treated this way. If you don't feel cared for or safe with your doctor they need to go. Too many patients go back again and again when they...

  22. I did something that now makes me think I was acting like a druggie/doper/thief...

    Batman24 replied to Jo Dirt's topic in General Nursing

    You're worrying for no reason. I don't think anyone thought you were a thief, etc. They probably feel bad that they invaded your personal space. Don't stress and move on. Keys were found and...

  23. Trauma Naked?

    Batman24 replied to mark90's topic in General Nursing

    Patients react differently to traumas. Some are calm and others are clawing. There is no way of knowing if these patients are truly okay unless a full assessment is done. No one really wants a rectal...

  24. Ever had an MD document things to make you look bad?

    Batman24 replied to ruralnurs's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Make sure you protect your license. That's most important here. Your hospital might want to lose her as she's a huge liability risk should they ever get sued. She is acting in an unethical and...

  25. Ever had an MD document things to make you look bad?

    Batman24 replied to ruralnurs's topic in Ob/Gyn

    That's illegal and unethical. I would get this complaint in writing to your manager and Risk Management ASAP to get a paper trail going. She is trying to cover her butt but the way she did it is...
