  1. Each job title wears it's own color.

    Batman24 replied to borzoilady's topic in General Nursing

    You have to wear white panties?! Someone should fill them in that flesh/nude colored ones would be the much better choice as white is so see through. I would wear the nude ones anyway. I don't need...

  2. Each job title wears it's own color.

    Batman24 replied to borzoilady's topic in General Nursing

    I'm an RN and we wear any color scrub we want. It offers a lot of variety so I like it and the patients seem to as well. Everyone on my unit wears scrubs. I know the unit secretary and the clerks...

  3. Appropriate to go to funeral?

    Batman24 replied to Eirene's topic in General Nursing

    Many of the medical staff came to the viewing/funeral when my father died. It was greatly appreciated. They all provided exceptional care to my father and many cried when he passed away in the...

  4. Please Help...You nurses are going to kill me!

    Batman24 replied to yuyu75's topic in General Nursing

    If you want to be a nurse you should go for it. Take the sciences one at a time starting now while you are on the waiting list. You will pass them. They aren't easy courses but if you take it one day...

  5. Hourly rounding... I have the time

    Batman24 replied to DebRN06's topic in General Nursing

    It's absurd. Waking sleeping patients for no reason, scripted answers...we aren't robots and our patients deserve to be treated as individuals. Thankfully my employer doesn't have any of this crap....

  6. HELP! 12 yo, first appt w/gyn questions

    Batman24 replied to midnitelpn's topic in Ob/Gyn

    My guess is they won't do an internal on her at such a young age unless they fear something is wrong internally. Unless they feel it is absolutely imperative I wouldn't press for one either. They can...

  7. Why do patients abuse nurses?

    Batman24 replied to TigerGalLE's topic in General Nursing

    They do it because they get away with it at many hospitals. It's despicable. He needs to be put in his place in a professional and polite way. Let him know flat out that slamming the door in your face...

  8. Doctors never sign Verbal or Phone Orders

    Batman24 replied to DrugReptoNurse's topic in General Nursing

    You have good and valid reason to be nervous. The orders need to be signed. If your manager won't take action you should make Risk Management aware. They'll care. This is a lawsuit waiting to...

  9. Lack of communication....This is NOT RIGHT!!!!

    Batman24 replied to cute_cabbage2005's topic in General Nursing

    I'd definitely be writting an incident report. Thank God this patient didn't kill themselves, fall, etc. during that time. It's absurd that the nurse didn't let you know and even worse that the CN is...

  10. Employer told everyone results of my TB test!

    Batman24 replied to DA314's topic in General Nursing

    Your employer is a moron. I would quit ASAP. This is absurd. I would let him know flat out that you feel this is an invasion of your privacy and I would also call your insurance carrier NOW and see if...

  11. Loved one soon to be passing

    Batman24 replied to elizabeth8503RN's topic in General Nursing

    Congrats on your wonderful news. Granny is one hell of a fighter. God bless her. I will keep all of you in my thoughts and prayers.

  12. If You Had To Do It All Again Would You Go Straight For RN Instead?!

    Batman24 posted a topic in LPN to RN

    I'm doing some pre-reqs for nursing school right now and heard about a good LPN school close to where I live. I'm now contemplating becoming a LPN first and then doing my RN studies online. Just...

  13. Hair Testing For Drugs Among Nurses

    Batman24 replied to RD_Congo's topic in General Nursing

    No hair testing in any of the hospitals in my area. I don't think we will see a big turn towards it at present either given the costs

  14. Ripped Off

    Batman24 replied to Price 2002's topic in General Nursing

    What a sham. I'd be ticked too. Your supervisors must be wusses to have let this happen. They change the date, take away 6 tickets per person, and add MAs into the ceremony?! Pls. MAs aren't nurses...

  15. Thank you notes to patients?

    Batman24 replied to darkblue's topic in General Nursing

    I think it's creepy. People are in the hospital for care when they are ill, injured, etc. and we are thanking them for letting us care for them?! Ick. "Thank you so much for having a heart attack. I...

  16. Scheduled meeting with manager, HR and union rep

    Batman24 replied to meadow85's topic in General Nursing

    Your manager is a spiteful shrew. She should have just terminated you and be done with it. She needs to get a life. Don't worry about her...what goes around comes around. I don't think you will lose...

  17. Patient request you not take care of them?

    Batman24 replied to Cambria1023's topic in General Nursing

    Awww...don't take it personally. You are dealing with a new mother who is under enormouse stress. She'd prob bite the head off a puppy right now she's so stressed out. Some people do fear young and/or...

  18. Should family members insist on being present for procedures?

    Batman24 replied to MG-NotANurse's topic in General Nursing

    I agree. I am also very particular about baths and anything intimate. Unless patient requests family member to stay during anything that involves private parts they are all asked to leave and I don't...

  19. Should family members insist on being present for procedures?

    Batman24 replied to MG-NotANurse's topic in General Nursing

    I do wait when a surgery is going on and feel more comfortable doing so. I stay in pre-op too and then go back to recovery when I am allowed to do so. Many patients are nervous and like the company....

  20. RN's supervising CNA's

    Batman24 replied to TabithaRae's topic in General Nursing

    I would call an employment law attorney in your state. They should be able to advise you. If you need to work through an agency all the family has to do is arrange to pay you through an approved...

  21. Do YOU answer call lights in a hospital?

    Batman24 replied to JHansen's topic in General Nursing

    If I'm tending to a patient of course I do. All the nurses where I work do. Our CNAs are vg about it too. Thankfully I work on a unit with a team

  22. Scheduled meeting with manager, HR and union rep

    Batman24 replied to meadow85's topic in General Nursing

    I think it's petty to call and check on her. My guess is the manager is mad she got another job and she called with revenge on her mind. She didn't make an innocent call to go over a question she had...

  23. Scheduled meeting with manager, HR and union rep

    Batman24 replied to meadow85's topic in General Nursing

    I was thinking of you all day. I'm sorry things didn't go better. I don't think you will lose your license over this but chances are it will not be paid but not a biggie given the circumstances. Your...

  24. HIPAA Question. Appropriate?

    Batman24 replied to beachbum3's topic in General Nursing

    I don't see either as a HIPAA violation. I always pop in and say hi to my previos patients. Let's the patients know you care about them. Many even comment how grateful they are about

  25. Baths

    Batman24 replied to beachbum3's topic in General Nursing

    I've never witnessed anyone keeping their patient uncovered like that. I would say something to them had I seen it. I also always ask the guests to leave for 20 minutes. If the patient speaks up and...
