  1. Families can now call the code team

    Batman24 replied to rn-jane's topic in General Nursing

    If it is utilized properly it's a great tool to have. From what I've heard it's gone off without a hitch in surrounding hospitals in my area. No one has abused it as of yet. I hope that remains true....

  2. Just Fired From My 1st Nursing Job

    Batman24 replied to MysticalSeeker's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Agreed on both

  3. Reported to Manager; What do I do

    Batman24 replied to nelcoy4's topic in General Nursing

    If you have been there 13 years without incidence something is definitely fishy here. I wonder if they are trying to get you out of there to replace you with cheaper nurses. Wouldn't be the first...

  4. Ever wonder if you should have just let them go?

    Batman24 replied to IamVickiRN's topic in General Nursing

    These stories always make me so frustrated, upset, and outraged because the families often put themselves ahead of the patients. The hospitals are afraid of getting sued so they go to the family even...

  5. Employee Incentives

    Batman24 replied to michael79's topic in General Nursing

    A little cash or an American Express gift card and/or paid time off would be what I would like most. Money always fits and never needs to be returned. And who wouldn't like to get an extra paid day...

  6. Oh no she didn't!

    Batman24 replied to misslo's topic in General Nursing

    Good for you for advocating for your patient and bringing so much needed comfort to a patient's daughter who was sad and struggling. That's very much a priority no matter what they say. I hope you...

  7. I don't want to go in

    Batman24 replied to Scrubby's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with the above poster. I would ask to not be assigned as CN any longer. It isn't worth the extra stress you are now under. If things didn't improve after that I would look for another job...

  8. Reported to Manager; What do I do

    Batman24 replied to nelcoy4's topic in General Nursing

    The age comment is out of line and I would be sure it gets addressed ASAP. Just because you are younger doesn't mean it's your responsiblity to always pick up their slack. That's a cop put on their...

  9. Safe Harbor/Unsafe Staffing Levels?

    Batman24 replied to Bortaz's topic in General Nursing

    The nurses were smart to unite and stand their ground. Bravo!! I wish more nurses would do that. We are totally within our rights to not accept a shift that we fill is unsafe for patients and a risk...

  10. I need a hug!!!!

    Batman24 replied to jprn7171's topic in General Nursing

    Hugs!! Hugs!!

  11. Help! No official transcripts d/t school fraud!

    Batman24 replied to afranklin's topic in General Nursing

    Unfortunately this can happen. My school wouldn't accept any online courses whereas other schools would. It's crucial to check and verify that your school's courses are not just accredited but...

  12. leave or consider staying?

    Batman24 replied to BlearnRN's topic in General Nursing

    I would go with the new job. It sounds like the better long-term

  13. Schedueling and Weekends

    Batman24 replied to KalipsoRed's topic in General Nursing

    I'd be firm and put my foot down about doing every other weekend only especially as you were told every 3rd weekend and are already making a compromise. If you accept this schedule especially as a new...

  14. A Nursing Dilemma!!!

    Batman24 replied to Tolos's topic in General Nursing

    I woudn't have given it without an order nor would I have given it without drawing it myself. Period. You did the right

  15. An MI at age 38!!!!!

    Batman24 replied to sissiesmama's topic in General Nursing

    I'm so sorry you are going through all of this and I will be praying for all of you. I hope it all works out but PLEASE take care of yourself first and foremost.

  16. I am a new paramedic... In some hot water, need some help? In trouble?

    Batman24 replied to paramedic_t's topic in General Nursing

    Your co-worker shouldn't have gone off on you under these circumstances. That was unprofessional on their part. You are an EMT and did have good reason to suspect an injury to the pelvic/groin which...

  17. Student seeking ICU advice

    Batman24 replied to RNMeg's topic in General Nursing

    My hospital requires us to work M/S before moving to ICU or the OR. My M/S unit is fantastic and we have tons of support from management. The nurses are excellent and some have been working this floor...

  18. Overtime I didn't sign up for

    Batman24 replied to Susan9608's topic in General Nursing

    You did nothing wrong here so how could you possibly be a bad person in this scenario?! I hate they you even have a shred of guilt here when you shouldn't. Shame on the person who wrote your name on...

  19. Facility wants to take my RN title away

    Batman24 replied to rnwings's topic in General Nursing

    Exactly.

  20. Facility wants to take my RN title away

    Batman24 replied to rnwings's topic in General Nursing

    I would check of the legalities of this change with your state BON. I was always under the impression that our tags had to have our name and our appropriate title as designated by the state which...

  21. Staying late to chart

    Batman24 replied to crawlyberry's topic in General Nursing

    There will be days that even the most experienced nurse will have to stay late. It's just the nature of the beast sometimes. As time goes on you do realize what's most important and necessary to chart...

  22. Nursing's image

    Batman24 replied to haitianrn's topic in General Nursing

    I find nursing to be a respected position on the whole. The dumbing down of nurses is often internal...scripting, being told to put up with abuse, etc. Where you work has tremendous influence in how...

  23. To work nights or not to work nights? that is the question....

    Batman24 replied to tsbarbre's topic in General Nursing

    I work 7am-7pm. I have covered on night shifts to help a fellow nurse out and the schedule just wasn't a good one for me or my lifestyle. It really is a personal choice as some only want nights. I did...

  24. Patient care on woman or man ?

    Batman24 replied to serge09's topic in Men in Nursing

    Both sexes treat both sexes at my hospital. We have no male techs on either shift but two male nurses at night who are wonderful. They get turned down by a few males here and there but neither have...

  25. Why can't we just be nurses anymore?!?!?

    Batman24 replied to MrsWampthang's topic in General Nursing

    You aren't whining. I feed bad for nurses that are supposed to follow a script and am thankful every day that my hospital doesn't have this requirement. I couldn't work where I couldn't treat my...
