  1. Why are male nurses looked down on?

    Batman24 replied to USCUAmber's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Don't be discouraged because most male nurses I've found to be beloved and welcomed. I graduated with 3 male nurses and they were treated like gods by all. They even did their OB/GYN rotation without...

  2. Career change/why so neg on nursing?

    Batman24 replied to dragonflycafe's topic in General Nursing

    Age shouldn't be a deterent in the least. This is my second career and I'm a new nurse who is your age. If it is truly your calling then anything you read here won't deter you because the pull on your...

  3. The NEW Nurse (Not the ones AOL speak of)

    Batman24 replied to walk6miles's topic in General Nursing

    That's so nice to read. I'm a new nurse and give my all every shift. I work with a great team of experienced nurses who have helped me every step of the way which really built my confidence and made...

  4. These docs are gonna fight!

    Batman24 replied to chenoaspirit's topic in General Nursing

    This is about as unprofessional as it gets. Did you bring this to your supervisor's attention?! I would

  5. I was slapped by a doctor!

    Batman24 replied to cluelessRN81's topic in General Nursing

    I've been thinking of you often and praying you were okay. How refreshing to see a hospital take a stand on abuse against medical staff. I'm glad he's gone as well he should be. I hope you feel safer...

  6. Biopsy negative! Update to prayer request

    Batman24 replied to AlsgalRN's topic in General Nursing

    Praise The Lord!! WOO HOO!! I'm so happy for you and yours. You will all continue to be in my thoughts and prayers. Hugs!!

  7. admin leave

    Batman24 replied to litbitblack's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sorry. I thought when you said admin leave and terminated it was the manager you were speaking about but went back and see I misunderstood it. If they keep you perhaps you use your days off to...

  8. admin leave

    Batman24 replied to litbitblack's topic in General Nursing

    Just curious...do you feel you are being retaliated against because your manager ended up terminated after you complained about poor staffing, etc.?! If yes, I would leave because they will stop at...

  9. My boss is stealing narcotics......

    Batman24 replied to celticwoman61's topic in General Nursing

    i'm glad everything has been addressed. you might want to start putting out feelers for another job sooner rather than later. i'm sorry you are going through all this crap right now. pls keep us...

  10. Help,...a passive-aggressive bully at work,...

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

    Too bad all the nurses didn't just ignore all her gossip and turn the other way whenever she started up. Bullies thrive on attention and prey on the weak. By ignoring her and asserting yourselves she...

  11. How strict is/was your nursing school concerning your appearance?

    Batman24 replied to KarynicaRN's topic in General Nursing

    For clinicals we wore scrubs and white shoes that were to be kept very clean. We could wear small earrings but no jewels in other piercings. Watches, and plain wedding bands were also allowed. We...

  12. My boss is stealing narcotics......

    Batman24 replied to celticwoman61's topic in General Nursing

    That's absolutely wrong for them to tell you never to contact an outside agency. As a nurse and patient advocate there might be times you would need to do so in order to protect your patient and your...

  13. Unit Secretary Abuse

    Batman24 replied to PowderedToast's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with the above. All of you should go speak to the NM to try and help this woman out. It's a shame they didn't give the US the benefit of the doubt with 20 years of service and no prior...

  14. How do you get the nursing care done with hourly rounding & computer documentation?

    Batman24 replied to medsurgrnco's topic in General Nursing

    I would ban together with the other nurses and let them if tasks are being added they need to add more nurses. That's the real answer as to what has to happen but they won't like that. Too bad. Do it...

  15. "I'm woke."

    Batman24 replied to Vito Andolini's topic in General Nursing

    I would continue to write up sleeping aides until the day you leave there. I'd do it once a day if need be to get a paper trail going. You just might save a patient's life by doing so. Also, I would...

  16. McKenzie's funeral

    Batman24 replied to shelly304's topic in General Nursing

    Sounds very sweet and very pretty. It sounds fitting for a beautiful little angel on

  17. Customer Service and 24 hour visitation

    Batman24 replied to abbaking's topic in General Nursing

    The massages just aren't going to happen here because there's no time. Nurses will be spending tons of time calling dietary to find out where that 2am chocolate shake is and why the Starbucks coffee...

  18. Not allowed to say "I was busy w/ another pt"

    Batman24 replied to General E. Speaking, RN's topic in General Nursing

    They don't want patients aware of poor staffing ratios so they will make nurses the scapegoat instead. It's the dirty little secret hospitals like to keep. I've apologized to patients who've had to...

  19. Jury Duty vs Duty to Hospital

    Batman24 replied to transkat's topic in General Nursing

    I'm in NJ and was excused from jury duty when I was a full-time student. I had to submit a copy of my course schedule to the courts and received a letter back that I had been

  20. Young Eating Unit Secretaries

    Batman24 replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    Ours are very nice and very helpful. In nursing school I witnessed a real winner. I couldn't believe how rude she was not just to the students but to the medical staff and patient's families. She...

  21. Customer Service and 24 hour visitation

    Batman24 replied to abbaking's topic in General Nursing

    I'd be looking for another job pronto. In the interim I would keep providing the same quality care you do as of now. Ask people to leave for peri care and exams as you should. If they get in the way...

  22. honestly!

    Batman24 replied to 2bManNurse1017's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Many people work f/t and go to work as well. You will need to work in time to study so try and do a majority of your work hours on the weekend if you can work that out. Schedule your classes early or...

  23. Jury Duty vs Duty to Hospital

    Batman24 replied to transkat's topic in General Nursing

    If you face retribution upon your return to the unit you will call an attorney. Being called doesn't necessarily mean you will have to serve. I went last year around this time and was let go at noon...

  24. broke my patient's arm!!!

    Batman24 replied to Elektra6's topic in General Nursing

    I'm so sorry for the both of you. I'm sure the patient knows you meant no

  25. Jury Duty vs Duty to Hospital

    Batman24 replied to transkat's topic in General Nursing

    Your manager is wrong to ask you to write that letter. This is your civic duty and you shouldn't be pressured not to fulfill your obligation to society. You can write them but chances are it will be...
