  1. Consent to drug test OB/L&D Patients

    Batman24 replied to JMA-RN2B's topic in General Nursing

    I wouldn't consent to a drug test because I don't do drugs so I would know my baby is fine and wouldn't want to incur additional costs. I'm sure other woman who are clean would feel the same way and...

  2. A doctor asking you to give him a cup of coffee!!

    Batman24 replied to Shantas's topic in General Nursing

    I would either tell them where the coffee was or get him a cup of it. He wasn't demanding one or being rude when asking. And if he's on crutches I would prob would have gotten it just to help him out...

  3. Husband uncomfortable with my job!

    Batman24 replied to DA314's topic in General Nursing

    You are both very young and I think as such he's just a little insecure and ignorant to the facts here. And trust me this happens at times with older men too. We are seen as a sexy profession by many....

  4. Baths

    Batman24 replied to beachbum3's topic in General Nursing

    You never keep a patient totally naked and exposed during a bath. That would be out of line. You keep everything that isn't being washed completely covered. We also encourage our patients to clean...

  5. Consent to drug test OB/L&D Patients

    Batman24 replied to JMA-RN2B's topic in General Nursing

    I would post this in OB forum as well as they might have more info. Just curious if they are charging the patient for the test. I would deny the test as I know I'm clean and wouldn't want to pay for...

  6. Harassment and Retaliation

    Batman24 replied to medsurgrnco's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I would report a hostile work environment to HR. I would also follow up in writing so a paper trail gets started. If you are part of a union your rep might be able to guide you. What kind of situation...

  7. Nurses showing up late for work.

    Batman24 replied to justmanda's topic in General Nursing

    Your manager was out of line and I would discuss her calling you a whiner next time you go in. You worked 12 hours and your children need to get the school. You have every right to be furious. If this...

  8. Scheduled meeting with manager, HR and union rep

    Batman24 replied to meadow85's topic in General Nursing

    Your boss isn't nice at all. You don't call an employee and tell them they are scheduled for a meeting and not give them any details. She is passive aggressive and this was meant to make you worry. I...

  9. Nurses will do the CNA job

    Batman24 replied to bongids's topic in General Nursing

    I work on a M/S unit and we do have CNAs. My friend who works at another hospital in the state in a different department also has CNAs where she works. A lot of it can depend on the unit and/or the...

  10. Hold that Push!

    Batman24 replied to moz's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Absolutely correct. I wouldn't sign that form with a gun to my head and none of you should either. If your risk management dept. sees it they will be sure to make this form disappear immediately. HUGE...

  11. So angry right now. Warning: Extremely long

    Batman24 replied to HappyPediRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Major clusterf*ck. Pardon my language but that's what it is. Too many people saying and doing too many things. So disorganized they are tripping over themselves and your poor father is paying the...

  12. Can I get in trouble for this????

    Batman24 replied to vanurse2b's topic in General Nursing

    It doesn't sound like you did anything wrong. Sign

  13. Taking Micro and Chem online at CCC

    Batman24 replied to crogers75's topic in General Nursing

    Click on this link. It has tons of info that will really help you. The Student Forum at this site would also be beneficial to you. That can be found in the second link I posted. Word of advice...make...

  14. Does your supervisor give a crap?

    Batman24 replied to TraumaNurseRN's topic in Emergency

    They should be ashamed of themselves. Consider is a lesson learned and one you won't repeat in the future. Glad you found a better job. Their

  15. Co-worker Harassment

    Batman24 replied to AngelCat's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    As your manager hasn't done anything I would go to HR and tell them she is abusive and creating a hostile working environment. You also need to start a paper trail. If nothing is ever in writing they...

  16. Missing narcs. Being blamed!

    Batman24 replied to ryny143's topic in General Nursing

    I'm confused too. From what I can tell you received shipment of narcs and did indeed log everything including the disputed 90 pills. No one verified the shipment other than you. HORRIBLE policy. Days...

  17. Calling out sick

    Batman24 replied to Jules A's topic in General Nursing

    You are 100% correct. We have nurses sometimes working sick as dogs because they fear their fellow nurses will be even more inundated with work and they don't want to leave them in a jam. All it does...

  18. RN or LPN signature

    Batman24 replied to nursiemellie's topic in General Nursing

    Call the BON and explain the situation and ask for their guidance and opinion. That's what I would do. I hope you get the new job in the OR. Why in God's name would your current employer punish a LPN...

  19. RN or LPN signature

    Batman24 replied to nursiemellie's topic in General Nursing

    You should be signing with your accurate title which is RN. You should also ask about RN pay and benefits

  20. Calling out sick

    Batman24 replied to Jules A's topic in General Nursing

    If I'm sick I will call out. I'm not going to go in coughing all over my patients and co-workers and getting them sick or sicker. Ditto for the runs and vomiting. I'm of no use to anyone in those...

  21. Gustav Roll Call

    Batman24 replied to pagandeva2000's topic in General Nursing

    Sending prayers and good thoughts to all of you. God

  22. Bummed

    Batman24 replied to Vito Andolini's topic in General Nursing

    I'm a RN and I tell the nurse assigned next to me as well as the CNA when I need to pee just so they can keep an extra eye and ear open for me. We all do that whether we be the nurse or aide. I...

  23. Abuse of Nurses

    Batman24 replied to widi96's topic in General Nursing

    Bravo!! Nice to see someone do what's

  24. Abuse of Nurses

    Batman24 replied to widi96's topic in General Nursing

    YOUR EMPLOYER IS FULL OF CRAP. You can absolutely press assault charges and it can be done with one phone call to the police. If the hospital isn't going to protect you then all of you better learn to...

  25. Working with a cast?

    Batman24 replied to Skwidward's topic in General Nursing

    You shouldn't be doing patient care with a cast. If you were injured at work you can prob collect WC or do light duty as available. If you were injured off the job why don't you go on short term...
