  1. UAP walking all over me...

    Batman24 replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Nursing

    I love the advice above about putting the emphasis on the patient. That is great advice and I would start that ASAP. Their response is in part due to your age and inexperience. You need to feel...

  2. Do you agree or disagree with President Obama regarding malpractice suits?

    Batman24 replied to sirI's topic in General Nursing

    I definitely think many doctors are practicing defensive medicine. We live in such a litigious society that many doctors are afraid that if they don't run the gamut of tests, etc. they will be held...

    Batman24 replied to Sonia,RN's topic in General Nursing

    There are no techs in my ICU either. They were done away with a few years ago. There is a secretary but only on weekdays until

  5. medication errors with family members

    Batman24 replied to aspenleaf's topic in General Nursing

    excellent advice. your boyfriend should be dealing with the mother of his children not you. it isn't your place and could lead to very bad feelings where they need not

  6. Nurse pressured to admin IV lasix by DON w/o notifying MD

    Batman24 replied to karenesn's topic in General Nursing

    Yup. NEVER. This is illegal and could cost you your license.

  7. Any Ethical Issues here? Would the facility care?

    Batman24 replied to heathert_kc's topic in General Nursing

    Perfectly fine. You can tell the truth and there should be no backlash. They just won't assign you to care for your family member in the professional sense which is fair and

  8. I Wish I was a Real Nurse not a LPN

    Batman24 replied to Nure Emi's topic in General Nursing

    You are a real nurse. You passed boards that entitled you to a nursing license. If you wish to be a RN go and apply at your local community college and stat taking any pre-reqs you may need ASAP. You...

  9. I don't care anymore, I'm never saying another thing...

    Batman24 replied to RN1982's topic in General Nursing

    What you said clearly was accurate because if it wasn't it wouldn't have hit a raw nerve with management. Even though you want to be quiet now I wouldn't be. I wouldn't let them squash your enthusiam...

  10. My Father Died Today

    Batman24 replied to SuesquatchRN's topic in General Nursing

    I'm so sorry, sweetie. My know you and yours are in my thoughts and prayers at this very sad time. God bless you all.

  11. Moving on to Dogs...No RN 2 b

    Batman24 replied to NovaRN2b's topic in General Nursing

    Do what makes you happy. Coincedentally my dog's name was Nova and she was the best doggie ever. Maybe that's a

  12. I violated HIPAA while talking about the news!

    Batman24 replied to KarynicaRN's topic in General Nursing

    You didn't break HIPAA. Either your daughter doesn't understand HIPAA OR she does and she is trying to put you down and discredit you like you state she has a history of doing. Vent away but don't let...

  13. And I continue my rant of MAs pretending to be nurses..

    Batman24 replied to nurseby07's topic in General Nursing

    I agree. A RN is a RN. You take the exact same boards and have the exact same license regardless of whether you have a ADN or BSN. A RN is a RN, a LPN is a LPN, a CNA is a CNA, and a MA is a MA. If...

  14. In need of advice- discrimination???

    Batman24 replied to 2010NewRN's topic in General Nursing

    I would call a lawyer pronto. You need legal advice immediately. I think you have a solid case. The ADA is another call you could make but I would call the lawyer and let them advise you of your next...

  15. And I continue my rant of MAs pretending to be nurses..

    Batman24 replied to nurseby07's topic in General Nursing

    Talk to the doctor she works for first and let him know the response she gave to his patient that resulted in a bad infection not getting proper attention. That could lead to a lawsuit and he won't...

  16. Accused of cheating by instructor

    Batman24 replied to BWebb99's topic in General Nursing

    Unfortunately I agree as well. This instructor has the ability to ruin your credability with other instructors in the program. She's clearly out of bounds and her info isn't even accurate. I would...

  17. Nurses Are Professionals? Oh Really?

    Batman24 replied to PMFB-RN's topic in General Nursing

    BTW...sometimes when I call a company and I know they have a long script I politely interrupt them and tell them no need. I don't want them wasting all that time and breath for no reason. I even tell...

  18. Nurses Are Professionals? Oh Really?

    Batman24 replied to PMFB-RN's topic in General Nursing

    We don't script and I never would even if they implemented it. Different patients need to be handled in different ways. They are patients not robots and to treat them as such is insulting and

  19. R U annoyed by some ancillary staff too?

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

    I agree. Never hurts to have a paper trail and as the patient reported him I think you should document it as

  20. Hungry Nurse or Troublemaker?

    Batman24 replied to KY RN's topic in General Nursing

    You should NEVER work off the clock. That is a huge liability issue and can effect worker's comp should you get hurt and/or your medical malpractice insurance should something go wrong with a...

  21. Has anyone ever worked a "double shift" ie 16hr shift?

    Batman24 replied to chingy1206's topic in General Nursing

    I wouldn't do it. Working 16 hours a day will be about 16.5-17 hours by the time you leave. You will get home say at midnight and have to be back at work by 7am the next day. Doing it to help out one...

  22. Professional Behaviour & Conduct - help!

    Batman24 replied to rachelgeorgina's topic in General Nursing

    I think you got some really good advice. One other thing I would suggest as it sounds like you are a little firecracker (meant in a totally nice way!!) count to 5 at times just to calm yourself a bit....

  23. There won't be any raises this year

    Batman24 replied to Manatee111's topic in General Nursing

    If NO ONE got a raise hospital wide from the CEO down I could live with it, BUT if the CEO, CFO, upper management were all getting their raises and bonuses I would be LIVID. What's good for the goose...

  24. Ethical Issue- Is this child abuse? Do I need to report this?

    Batman24 replied to Daria5363's topic in General Nursing

    This sounds like a marital issue here and one that you aren't even hearing about firsthand. Mike's sister who will be on her brother's side is telling you about an issue that happened in another...

  25. Another nurse got fired because of me.

    Batman24 replied to arelle68's topic in General Nursing

    The OP better be careful because if this is how med errors are handled where she works she could be next to go. The whole thing seems a little extreme under the circumctances. The patient suffered no...
