  1. Need serious help dealing w/manipulative patients

    Batman24 replied to NurseNature's topic in General Nursing

    A few things...a patient that is so time consuming and stressful needs to be split up amongst the staff so no one has them two days in a row. Thatr's standard where I work. Speak up. No one will think...

  2. No time for gloves??

    Batman24 replied to Ocelot's topic in General Nursing

    99% of the time you will wear gloves but in an extreme situation I have seen staff step in without

  3. HIPPA Violation?

    Batman24 replied to AnytownUSA's topic in General Nursing

    Of course it is a HIPAA violation to look it up their info if they are no longer under your care. IT does regular audits to check for this very thing. Chances are excellent you would lose your job....

  5. Do you think midwife deliveries are less safe than doctor deliveries?

    Batman24 replied to slippery_seal's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I thought maybe it was location as then patients really wouldn't have as much of a choice as there wouldn't be other docs or hospital available locally. I'm shocked more women don't cause a huge...

  6. Do you think midwife deliveries are less safe than doctor deliveries?

    Batman24 replied to slippery_seal's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I heard that was great. I need to watch it. I'm all for natural births and the least amount of medical intervention necessary as health of mom and baby permits. What a shame that 9-5 OBs have taken...

  7. Do you think midwife deliveries are less safe than doctor deliveries?

    Batman24 replied to slippery_seal's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Just curious...are those of you who work in areas where patient's birth plan, etc. go out the window in rural areas?! I have worked in hospitals in a major city and in a large surburban area and the...

  8. feeling bad... pt died

    Batman24 replied to beachbum3's topic in General Nursing

    I agree. It's despicable they didn't give him more morphine and keep this poor man comfortable. He was hitting the light constantly because he was in pain and desperate. You're right..awful way to...

  12. How to protect job, without FMLA

    Batman24 replied to lpnflorida's topic in General Nursing

    The home is definitely in both names, correct?! If it isn't PLEASE have that done ASAP. You also need to take a day off to add your name to utilities, contact a lawyer for both of you to get wills,...

  13. Tell prespective rural employer situation

    Batman24 replied to elprup's topic in General Nursing

    I'd call the insurance company Monday morning and ask to speak to a manager to get the facts about when the check was sent and how. It should have been sent directly to you and required you sign for...

  14. How to protect job, without FMLA

    Batman24 replied to lpnflorida's topic in General Nursing

    If you need the FMLA get it for mental health reasons. I would. You need to protect your health, sanity, and job My guess is under the current circumstances you'd qualify. On a practical note I would...

  15. How to make the nurse's day.

    Batman24 replied to Virgo_RN's topic in General Nursing

    In case you didn't know...ice melts. It happens. The earth however doesn't start rotating off it's axis if you need to wait five whole minutes for your third cup of ice in an hour. The CNA might be...

  16. How to make the nurse's day.

    Batman24 replied to Virgo_RN's topic in General Nursing

    Be sure to complain non-stop about the food and how it isn't like the food at home. And remind us constantly that the blankets aren't as thick as you'd like. Buy a clue...we aren't the cooks and we...

  17. Getting Fired or Resign?

    Batman24 replied to trustsupplyguy's topic in General Nursing

    I would resign before getting fired. Put in notice next time you work. I wouldn't address errors, etc. and would just keep it short and sweet. Please accept my resignation effective x/x/08. Thank you...

  18. everyone is afraid

    Batman24 replied to gonzo1's topic in General Nursing

    I would have giver her her pocketbook and told her she was lucky I found it and not a thief. I would have laughed in her face if she asked me to strip. NEVER let someone treat you that way. I might...

  19. Male CNA

    Batman24 replied to youngbrazee1's topic in Men in Nursing

    My NS required we become a CNA or HHA before we enter the program. We didn't have to work as one but we had to pass the course asa pre-req. It really covers a ton of basics and makes NS easier when...

  20. Honestly...Did I over-react?

    Batman24 replied to oliveralways's topic in General Nursing

    I think it depends on the facility. If we get injured on our floor we are to fill out the IR and go immediately for medical attention. They don't want us waiting until the end of the shift. Of course...

  21. Honestly...Did I over-react?

    Batman24 replied to oliveralways's topic in General Nursing

    Agree 100%. That's our policy as well so we do go to ED whenever something happens that might end up in WC

  22. I just don't know how to do this....

    Batman24 replied to locolorenzo22's topic in General Nursing

    If she isn't providing safe nursing care it needs to be addressed. Perhaps one of the seasoned nurses should bring this to the attention of the NM ASAP. She might need more one-on-one before being...

  23. Got Yelled at by MD.

    Batman24 replied to angel36's topic in General Nursing

    Good idea. That's what you should do...write him up for his behavior. It's

  24. Got Yelled at by MD.

    Batman24 replied to angel36's topic in General Nursing

    Agreed. No one has the right to yell at anyone in what is supposed to be a professional setting. And of course you don't write yourself up. If the doctor has that much of a problem he can do it...

  25. Do Newbies "Eat" Their Elders?

    Batman24 replied to Ruby Vee's topic in General Nursing

    Mmmm...tastes like chicken. :lol: Yes, some newbies are out to get their elders and some elders are out to get the newbies. All those that do it should be ashamed of themselves. We are supposed to be...
