  1. Skirts in the OR

    Batman24 replied to MoriahRoseRN's topic in Operating Room

    I swear when I read perineal fallout I picture someone's lady parts falling on the floor right in the middle of the OR. Our OR wears pants too. I think you might be best off just asking to wear a...

  2. Nurse is marrying former patient's husband

    Batman24 replied to uscstu4lfe's topic in General Nursing

    Agreed. I'd be wishing them a long and happy

  3. I think I just need to talk about this...

    Batman24 replied to fireflies_for_me's topic in General Nursing

    I would write it up as well as soon as you get to work today. I'm sorry you are so distressed but you did right by your patient and will do right by more taking action here. And I agree kudos to you...

  4. NM altering my timecard - how do I approach her?

    Batman24 replied to casperx875x's topic in General Nursing

    Do you have a copy of the timecards in quesytion. If yes. go to yourr NM with it and show her what transpired. She needs to know this is unacceptable and illegal. You need to be paid what you work....

  5. odor

    Batman24 replied to pmw2007's topic in General Nursing

    So they are basically making you explain why you are doing your job. Dear Lord...they'll then wonder why you quit. Seems odd that a spouse would complain perhaps a control issue on their part. When...

  6. Visitors in OR

    Batman24 replied to Butterfly62's topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    So a patient having surgery is consenting in writing to having a 13 year old girl in there to watch and observe their surgery?! That's seems odd and inadvisable especially as she is a minor. I would...

  7. Mandatory Reporting

    Batman24 replied to widi96's topic in General Nursing

    That's wonderful news. She is very blessed to have you in her life.

  8. odor

    Batman24 replied to pmw2007's topic in General Nursing

    What did the husband find offensive?! If the patient has body odor from lack of bathing I'd get everything ready and tell them it was clean up time. If they are capable of showering themselves and not...

  9. Unfreaking Real!!!!

    Batman24 replied to chiari_mom's topic in General Nursing

    It's terrible how nurses are treated when ill and/or facing the death of a family member. I'm shocked and saddened by the total lack of humanity and respect shown. It's

  11. inappropriate comment made by RN in front of patient

    Batman24 replied to uscstu4lfe's topic in General Nursing

    Batman24 replied to NewTexasRN's topic in Male Nursing Students

  14. Horrible Visitor Behavior!! Help!!

    Batman24 replied to LauraRN4U's topic in General Nursing

    Report it. And next time call security. That's

  15. Male Nurse Insert a Foley

    Batman24 replied to NewTexasRN's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I would try to meet the need of the patient if I could. A patient can refuse but they don't order them all too often anymore so if it's ordered it's probably in the patient's best interest. You can't...

  16. My boss is stealing narcotics......

    Batman24 replied to celticwoman61's topic in General Nursing

    it's been over a week so they aren't going to take action here. they are going to sweep it under the rug. be very careful with your meds and document away. i'd look for another job as this place is...

    Batman24 replied to aloevera's topic in General Nursing

    Exactly.

  18. Visitors are OUT OF CONTROL!!!

    Batman24 replied to paperdreams's topic in General Nursing

    That poor nurse. She gets hurt because someone brings a small child who is crawling on the floor and no one is watching it and she ends up injured with a broken wrist. It's just idiocy at it's finest....

  19. Visitors are OUT OF CONTROL!!!

    Batman24 replied to paperdreams's topic in General Nursing

    I'm med/surge and most of my patients are so tired and in so much pain that I feel bad when visitors show up and talk to them when it's clear they are trying to sleep. I have asked visitors to quiet...

  20. So mad I could spit nails

    Batman24 replied to jnrsmommy's topic in General Nursing

    Write a letter of resignation today and look for a new job tomorrow. I wouldn't set one foot back into that facility especially knowing someone is setting you up for a huge fall. GET OUT

  21. Does a Dr HAVE to round everyday??

    Batman24 replied to racing-mom4's topic in General Nursing

    Our patients have to be seen by a MD at least once every 24 hours and all of them are. It's never once been an

  22. Does a Dr HAVE to round everyday??

    Batman24 replied to racing-mom4's topic in General Nursing

    I swear that was my first thought as well. I hope the family is aware he wasn't there and when they check the bill they raise holy hell and report

  23. She tried to give me orders!

    Batman24 replied to babydoll99_99's topic in General Nursing

    You handled the situation properly. Hopefully the MD learned something here. They were polite on the phone so they didn't know or did and now know it won't be acceptable in the future where you work....

  24. On Call

    Batman24 replied to NurseWillow's topic in General Nursing

    You need to grow a backbone and fast because they are walking all over you and if you allow it they will continue to do it. You seem like a sweet and reliable employee and often they get the worst of...

    Batman24 replied to inschool4ever's topic in General Nursing
