  1. Does your supervisor give a crap?

    Batman24 replied to TraumaNurseRN's topic in Emergency

    I will be praying that your husband has a complete and full recovery. Your anger, pain, and frustration are justified. She should have told you to leave and that she would help with the patients and...

  2. Pulling G tube?

    Batman24 replied to jschut's topic in General Nursing

    Just to echo some others you need to get others involved TODAY. Get your supervisor, the doctor, social worker, ethics committee, hospital lawyer/risk management involved NOW. I ditto calling APS...

  3. What is "enough" to call out?

    Batman24 replied to NurseyPoo7's topic in General Nursing

    The key is to be short, sweet, and firm. If you waffle they will circle you like sharks. "I'm sick and won't be in this shift." Period. No need to give any more info or details than

  4. What would make you say "I could never do that"

    Batman24 replied to PICNICRN's topic in General Nursing

    Burns.

  5. Would you work in a hospital that pays less if nurse:patient ratios were better?

    Batman24 replied to blondy2061h's topic in General Nursing

    Call me greedy but I'd like fair staffing ratios along with fair pay. Why should we have to pick one over the other?! We are entitled to

  6. Patient and visitor close door, don't want intruders.

    Batman24 replied to Johnny Moo Man's topic in General Nursing

    Is this a psych facility or ward?! Does she have restrictions?! If there are no restrictions I would give them privacy but be sure she knows you will be in for vital checks, meds, etc. as needed. Her...

  7. New graduate mandated overtime in supervisor position

    Batman24 replied to Happiness08's topic in General Nursing

    Any employer who would put a new nurse in this position really isn't worth your time and energy. My guess is you are fighting a losing battle here. They will just keep leaving you to work double...

  8. New graduate mandated overtime in supervisor position

    Batman24 replied to Happiness08's topic in General Nursing

    They are taking advantage of you and you need to put your foot down TODAY. Tell them you aren't comfortable being supervisor and will not accept that assignment again. Also tell them you are not...

  9. consent and refusal issues

    Batman24 replied to J.R.theR.N2b's topic in General Nursing

    Just to echo the others...seek professional help. It would be in your best interest to do so. Worrying so much about things is bad for your health and if you want to live to be 100 get the help now to...

  10. Is the RN liable for other's actions???????

    Batman24 replied to nursemate19's topic in General Nursing

    It's not something I would take a chance on that's for sure. I do think you'd have liability here. I'd be looking for another job

  11. Does this sound like "a little much" to you??

    Batman24 replied to PICNICRN's topic in General Nursing

    It's odd that they are using them and not even making them part of the medical record. I check my patients at least once an hour and always document it in the patient chart. It sounds like all the...

  12. A Doctor lied to make me look bad!

    Batman24 replied to TigerGalLE's topic in General Nursing

    You made a mistake and all you can do is apologize which you did. Move on as he isn't worth your time. My guess is the supervisor knew he was full of crap and just let him get it all out to be done...

  13. Failed Drug Test!!!!!!

    Batman24 replied to coolpeach's topic in General Nursing

    Dear Lord...that's awful. The man should have written the info down and all this would have been avoided. That is not a HIPAA violation as you bought the prescription info with you. Leaving a message...

  14. Got my evaluation today...

    Batman24 replied to NurseCard's topic in General Nursing

    I also think it sets up a very bad work environment and sometimes I wonder if employers do that on purpose. If they keep the staff against each other there is less chance of them banding together to...

  15. Is this even possible?

    Batman24 replied to AngelfireRN's topic in General Nursing

    After reading your posts I can see why you ended up almost dying. You are living with way too much stress and you need to find a solution when you are feeling stronger. Your hubby is passive...

  16. Scheduling Death??

    Batman24 replied to icyounurse's topic in General Nursing

    I will pray he goes to sleep tonight and just dies in peace to put an end to this man's suffering. He's lucky to have you in his corner and trying. More than anyone else is doing. This really is...

  17. Scheduling Death??

    Batman24 replied to icyounurse's topic in General Nursing

    That what confuses me too. The patient is actively dying and doesn't want more interventions...no DNR, no vent, etc. It should end there.

  18. Scheduling Death??

    Batman24 replied to icyounurse's topic in General Nursing

    I agree and I find it distressing. If this patient said they didn't want a vent and were clear in their wishes and the doctor agreeed why did the nurse even have to go back to the patient's family?!...

  19. HIPPAA Dilemma: Pt Privacy vs. Suffering Animal

    Batman24 replied to HapkidoMedicine's topic in General Nursing

    Make a call from a pay phone and say an animal is in distress. Period. They will go out. I know people who have done this before and someone always showed up at the house to check on the animal. This...

  20. Scheduling Death??

    Batman24 replied to icyounurse's topic in General Nursing

    How come the family can override the patient here?! The man seemed very clear in what he wanted and his doctor seemed okay with it as well. Keeping someone alive because it doesn't fit their schedule...

  21. A friend has passed.

    Batman24 replied to StrwbryblndRN's topic in General Nursing

    You sounds like a very kind and compassionate nurse. People grieve in different ways. May he rest in

  22. I gave a lot of money to this place

    Batman24 replied to ShayRN's topic in General Nursing

    Did the family complain to the top dog or just the marketing woman?! It could be she is trying to throw some blame you're way out of embarassment as she overstepped her boundaries with the family from...

  23. What to do about slander?

    Batman24 replied to zattie's topic in General Nursing

    The doctor didn't even call in the complaint himself?! If I was the NM that took the complaint I wouldn't have given it a second thought. If he can't even be bothered to call it in himself it couldn't...

  24. About NET-Reading Comprehension part

    Batman24 replied to mcogigi's topic in General Nursing

    Hi. Click on this link. There is a sticky at the top all about the NET. If you have the study guide and can pass that you will pass the NET. The test is set up the exact same way. The guide even has...

  25. Is my boss committing fraud?

    Batman24 replied to wabisabi's topic in General Nursing
