  1. Should Supervisor help??

    Batman24 replied to aloevera's topic in General Nursing

    I wouldn't have accepted the assignment. 42 beds sets you up for failure. I wouldn't risk my license nor would I put the patients in harm's way. It's just not worth

  2. Should families be present during a code?

    Batman24 replied to paperdreams's topic in General Nursing

    If there isn't enough room for staff and equipment family then needs to leave the room. We could never fit 8 people into a room either. I would explain the lack of space in the room if questioned and...

  3. Cell Phones: Help or Hindrance?

    Batman24 replied to UM Review RN's topic in General Nursing

    We don't have cell phones or pagers. Thank

  4. termination and pto benefits

    Batman24 replied to litbitblack's topic in General Nursing

    I agree. Chances are you will be entitled to it. Look it up ASAP and then you can send a certified letter with the

  5. Is this Legal?

    Batman24 replied to widi96's topic in General Nursing

    I'm glad you are only there for the summer. That's no place to work long-term. Not worth the stress or the power trip this woman is clearly on. Your co-worker should have barfed on her manager's...

  6. How can you protect yourself from a harrassing patient at a Nursing Home?

    Batman24 replied to maggiecreek's topic in General Nursing

    This seems to be some really good advice. Call the state so they can investigate if no one is taking action. Have other nurses and CNAs complained?! Have everyone put it in writing and send it to HR,...

  7. Do you need to carry your personal cell phone while at work?

    Batman24 replied to UM Review RN's topic in General Nursing

    And also sometimes emergencies are private and we want to keep them out of the workplace. I keep my private and personal life separate from one another. I find this policy to work best in my

  8. Do you need to carry your personal cell phone while at work?

    Batman24 replied to UM Review RN's topic in General Nursing

    We carry them and management knows it. Truth be told we are often so busy no one has time to check messages or talk. We carry them so family can reach us in the case of an emergency. My family and...

  9. I was slapped by a doctor!

    Batman24 replied to cluelessRN81's topic in General Nursing

    They just don't offer to double your salary if there is nothing for them to gain here. They must know more than you do about this doctor. They gave you this money to protect themselves not to help...

  10. I was slapped by a doctor!

    Batman24 replied to cluelessRN81's topic in General Nursing

    I would speak to a lawyer immediately and get some legal advice. They might offer you some protection for down the line and chances are good you will need it. My guess is this doctor has a long...

  11. Sick Leave

    Batman24 replied to Simpleplan's topic in General Nursing

    It's what ALL nurses should say. That's just completely

  12. Perineal anxiety

    Batman24 replied to caliber's topic in Men in Nursing

    Our CNAs do most of it but of course there are plenty of times the nurses do it as well. I find cleaning the peri area and inserting foleys in men a million times easier than doing these for women....

  13. Sick Leave

    Batman24 replied to Simpleplan's topic in General Nursing

    I would never accept an assignment where I was doing the work of 6 nurses. I wouldn't risk my license or put my patients in harm's way which this clearly

  14. Sick Leave

    Batman24 replied to Simpleplan's topic in General Nursing

    That's actually very true. They should be better prepared so that 2 nurses calling out doesn't make everything turn to crap like we all know it does. Have a good relationship with a local agency and...

  15. Sick Leave

    Batman24 replied to Simpleplan's topic in General Nursing

    Sometimes nurses do get sick at the same time. They come to work sick as do the CNAs and then everyone passes it on to everyone else. This isn't all too unusual. It's also the reason why I wish sick...

  16. Is this Legal?

    Batman24 replied to widi96's topic in General Nursing

    Not a fan of this policy. We don't have to offer any info when we call out sick. I would check with the Dept. of Labor in your state because I'm not so sure this is

  17. Thank you for your sympathy NOT

    Batman24 replied to Reigen's topic in General Nursing

    I'm so sorry for your loss. Their treatment of you is disgusting and deplorable. I wouldn't work there anymore either. I hope you are feeling strong enough to report them as has been suggested by...

  18. How can you protect yourself from a harrassing patient at a Nursing Home?

    Batman24 replied to maggiecreek's topic in General Nursing

    Oh yeah. I wouldn't go within 10 feet of this man without someone with me. That goes the same for the others you work with as well. The whole bath thing is creepy. Protect yourselves.And get out of...

  19. new student-accuplacer

    Batman24 replied to Lori0910's topic in General Nursing

    Many schools let you take the Accuplacer twice. If you know what you got wrong and feel with some brushing up you can pass it then it's worth taking again. Ask the school if they have a study guide...

  20. Random rant

    Batman24 replied to anggelRN's topic in General Nursing

    I would let their attending know what happened. It will ensure they don't leave a baby like that again. It's good for their attending to know and good for them to

  21. NOT BASHING M.A.'s!!!!

    Batman24 replied to KayceeLeeRN's topic in General Nursing

    I would just speak to her directly about how you feel. My gut tells me she is doing this is a bonding thing with you and not to be offensive. She probably doesn't realize that is upsets you even...

  22. NOT BASHING M.A.'s!!!!

    Batman24 replied to KayceeLeeRN's topic in General Nursing

    The problem isn't MAs. It's the countless people in healthcare that use the title nurse when they aren't one. If a patient calls someone a nurse the MA, CNA, etc. aren't to blame for that and no one...

  23. Jury Duty vs Duty to Hospital

    Batman24 replied to transkat's topic in General Nursing

    Just curious how the OP made out with this one. Hope everything worked out okay.

  24. Filed a Grievance against my Manager....now I'm worried

    Batman24 replied to Lori75's topic in First Year After Licensure

    That's really good advice. It shows you in a good light as well as making things right with the manager. She will appreciate

  25. Filed a Grievance against my Manager....now I'm worried

    Batman24 replied to Lori75's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Before I filed a grievance here I would have spoken to her directly. I believe she deserved the benefit of the doubt here. You had the right to file a grievance but having the right to do something...
