  1. About Your Hours

    Batman24 replied to J_Jackson's topic in General Nursing

    I'm tired looking at your schedule. Are you totally

  2. I was slapped by a doctor!

    Batman24 replied to cluelessRN81's topic in General Nursing

    I've been anxious to hear what happened too. I fear his paid leave of absence will be the end of it but would love to be pleasantly surprised and read further action has been taken. Hope you are...

  3. About Your Hours

    Batman24 replied to J_Jackson's topic in General Nursing

    I work 3 12 hour shifts 7am-7:30pm. I usually end up leaving around 8pm. I will work an additional shift to cover another nurse as needed. I usually put in an extra shift or two a month which isn't...

  4. how should this situation be handled?

    Batman24 replied to Ms.RN's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for the update. Termination was the right decision here. Shame the nurse had to threaten to sue to get the person terminated. It should have been a given here. That person is

  5. Friends little daughter passed away tonight

    Batman24 replied to shelly304's topic in General Nursing

    How tragic. My thoughts and prayers will be with her family and friends at this terrible time. May she rest in

  6. HOPKINS: 20 minutes into the show

    Batman24 replied to HopeItWorksDNP's topic in General Nursing

    Not me. I'm wearing a short little white skirt with a low cut top and stilettos giving a hot guy a sponge bath. That's how many of us female nurses are still seen. Sigh. You're right. It is sad how we...

  7. Why are nurses discriminated

    Batman24 replied to macgyver16's topic in General Nursing

    I'm with you. We are educated professionals who shouldn't put up with abuse. If we don't defend ourselves no one will do

  8. Why are nurses discriminated

    Batman24 replied to macgyver16's topic in General Nursing

    The doctors where I work are all respectful and vice versa. Nothing less would be accepted by either side. It's just not that kind of environment and I'm grateful for that. We are all very much a...

  9. They Called Out WHY??????

    Batman24 replied to Ruby Vee's topic in General Nursing

    I've never heard that one before. That's

  10. She is sleeping with a patient.............

    Batman24 replied to fournee's topic in General Nursing

    If you have concerns why not just go to you manager privately to discuss this issue?! Calling the BON to potentially go after her license would never be my first response in a situation like this. Let...

  11. Nurse calls in because of herpes outbreak

    Batman24 replied to nurseby07's topic in General Nursing

    I'm glad you will address your grandfather's funeral. Calling you in besides being rude is insensitive and unkind. The proper response is, "I'm sorry for your loss. How may I help?!" I'm sorry you had...

  12. I went off on a family member...and I don't feel bad about it.

    Batman24 replied to RN1982's topic in General Nursing

    You handled the situation appropriately. No one should take issue with the fact that being called 10x to the phone is bad for patient care. I do think the clerks need to be told they can be very firm...

  13. I was slapped by a doctor!

    Batman24 replied to cluelessRN81's topic in General Nursing

    I like this idea. Just give a call to an attorney and see what they have to say about the situation. This could protect you in the

  14. I was slapped by a doctor!

    Batman24 replied to cluelessRN81's topic in General Nursing

    I can understand the frustration about the police not being called. It isn't meant to be harsh towards the OP because she has the support of all of us. I think most of us fear the doc got a paid few...

  15. Nurse calls in because of herpes outbreak

    Batman24 replied to nurseby07's topic in General Nursing

    Agreed on both counts. I wouldn't have said it was herpes outbreak. If I was the charge nurse I also would have known enough to keep the info to myself and not share it with

  16. I was slapped by a doctor!

    Batman24 replied to cluelessRN81's topic in General Nursing

    I'm with Shelley. File the police report. If he behaves like this publicly God only knows what he does behind closed doors in private. He even lied and said it was a joke. Who hits someone as a joke...

  17. Cannot stand this MD

    Batman24 replied to DebRN06's topic in General Nursing

    I'm a new nurse and never knew that. Very interesting. Question: Are you in bedside nursing?! There are a few here I think should be lobbysist for nurses and you are one of

  18. Cannot stand this MD

    Batman24 replied to DebRN06's topic in General Nursing

    I'd end up fired because if my patient needed testing I would send them out for it. I wouldn't take the risk that they wouldn't be able to fit them in and my patient would be in pain a minute longer...

  19. Male Nurse Insert a Foley

    Batman24 replied to NewTexasRN's topic in Male Nursing Students

    No, you aren't justified in feeling this way. This male nurse is a professional just like a female nurse. Nurses insert a foley as needed into patients of both genders all the time. This is our job....

  20. I was slapped by a doctor!

    Batman24 replied to cluelessRN81's topic in General Nursing

    I really hope you report it internally and call the police as well. Are you leaning towards doing both?! If you don't he will do it again. Don't let him get away with abuse. I fear for what he does...

  21. Is there ANY department in nursing that I can avoid cleaning up poo?

    Batman24 replied to Future-nurse's topic in General Nursing

    That happened to me too when I went to the ER. They kept asking time and again if I was pregnant and I kept assuring them I had never been sexually active. They then continued with the pregnancy...

  22. I was slapped by a doctor!

    Batman24 replied to cluelessRN81's topic in General Nursing

    Yup. You should file a report AND call the police

  23. Nurses wearing white

    Batman24 replied to rnmaven's topic in General Nursing

    I don't like all white scrubs. They get filthy and no matter how much you bleach them after a few wears they look dingy.

  24. Have you ever been asked or expected to break the rules?

    Batman24 replied to ThatPoshGirl's topic in General Nursing

    I haven't as of yet but I have seen a few here asked to falsify documents. I'd NEVER do that. Shameful nurses are even asked to do so. I'm also as anal as they come in regards to

  25. Prepping for the NET

    Batman24 replied to ecf1972's topic in General Nursing

    The study guide is identical to the test. If you can pass the practice tests you can pass the NET. If you are having trouble with any of the math post it here and I will try and help you. For the...
