  1. Pizza on tuesday

    Batman24 replied to DebRN06's topic in General Nursing

    They are banking on your fear to keep you quiet and in line. Send the letter if you feel strongly about it. It's a shame none of you feel comfortable signing it but if it had positive changes with a...

  2. which professor would you pick?

    Batman24 replied to mashamontago's topic in General Nursing

    If both are equally knowledgable in their field I would go with Professor B as I learn better in a nurturing

  3. Would you do it?

    Batman24 replied to jennjen512's topic in General Nursing

    You did the right thing. Your supervisor needs to be tutored on HIPAA. It's a bad sign that she didn't realize she just broke guidelines. And if she did know and did it anyone then she's spineless. If...

  4. Patient Abuse And Our Obligations

    Batman24 replied to BOSSMAN71's topic in General Nursing

    I always about that too. They spend more time assigning blame to the fall guy then they they do addressing the abuse. Chances are it might have gotten swept under the rug. And now nurses, aides, etc....

  5. Help! Problems At Work Re: Diabetic Pt, Rights

    Batman24 replied to debow261's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Your DON is right. The patient has the right to eat sweets even if it will harm her. Chart, chart and chart some more to protect yourself. Your intentions were good here so don't feel bad but make...

  6. CNA certification/ Nursing School

    Batman24 replied to rntobe4's topic in General Nursing

    Can you be a home health aide or PCA instead of a CNA?! My school let us choose between the 3 and I did the HHA. You might be able to find someone locally who offers this and it's cheaper as well as...

  7. Patient Abuse And Our Obligations

    Batman24 replied to BOSSMAN71's topic in General Nursing

    You did the right thing. It's a shame when people do their job and act as patient advocates as we should that they often take the fall. And when employers go out of their way to make the employee the...

  8. Nurses salary vrs teacher's salary

    Batman24 replied to ShayRN's topic in General Nursing

    Teaching is another grossly underpaid profession. We live in a very backwards society where salaries are

  9. admission assessments

    Batman24 replied to gigi77's topic in General Nursing

    I would use the government making changes as to what will be covered and what won't be as reasoning to hire more staff. 3 RNs for 24 patients in M/S is a horrible ratio. Let the hospital know it will...

  10. admission assessments

    Batman24 replied to gigi77's topic in General Nursing

    You aren't coming at my heinie or anything private with a camera

  11. Nurse's hairdo's

    Batman24 replied to Epona's topic in General Nursing

    Blonde hightlights should be fine. A lot of the nurses where I work have highlights and really hip/cute

  12. 12 Hr Shifts Kick My Butt

    Batman24 replied to RedhairedNurse's topic in General Nursing

    If I could find a way to hook up an iced tea IV I'd do

  13. Would You Have Done This?

    Batman24 replied to pagandeva2000's topic in General Nursing

    That's a lawsuit waiting to happen. She should have called the woman's nurse and alerted her to the problem. Her "friend" sounds like a huge user but for some reason your friend doesn't quite see it...

  14. Do nurses support physician assisted suicide?

    Batman24 replied to NightOwl0624's topic in General Nursing

    Edit.

  15. 12 Hr Shifts Kick My Butt

    Batman24 replied to RedhairedNurse's topic in General Nursing

    If you are working f/t after you adjust you will be grateful for th 12 hour shifts because you will love only having to go in 3 days a week. Try and take your breaks as you can even if it's just 5...

  16. Im 42 year old male and just about to begin Nursing

    Batman24 replied to ready2beAnurse's topic in General Nursing

    I'm so sorry for your loss. I bet you will be a wonderful nurse. Nursing is my second career as well. You can do it!!

  17. Nasty co-workers??

    Batman24 replied to CLJ1988's topic in General Nursing

    The nurses I work with are great. I'm a new nurse and everyone has been helpful and supportive. We work as a team and it's been

  18. I got the job!

    Batman24 replied to ONCRN84's topic in General Nursing

    Congrats!! Sounds like a great move for a lot of different reasons.

  19. Need help choosing 1st job....

    Batman24 replied to walkingonsunshine's topic in General Nursing

    I'm a new nurse in M/S. I would ideally like to work in the OR but they suggest wetting your feet in M/S. It is very hectic and you need to stay on top of everything which is hard when there isn't...

  20. Men can't give complete baths?

    Batman24 replied to stelon's topic in General Nursing

    We don't have that policy. Are you on a floor that has male patients?! If yes, I would give the male CNAs all the male patients. It's not ideal logistically but the work needs to be split up as I'm...

  21. No Provider Assessment??

    Batman24 replied to pagandeva2000's topic in General Nursing

    Agreed. He was lucky to have you as his nurse. Shame on the provider for no assessment. That's

  22. Pizza on tuesday

    Batman24 replied to DebRN06's topic in General Nursing

    When she asked that I would have told her we want more nurses and an extra CNA or two even though that was clear from all your complaints. She was trying to break eveyone down and put it back on you...

  23. Nurses on Antidepressants?

    Batman24 replied to ijuanabhappy's topic in General Nursing

    I know a nurse on them. She suffers from

  24. my drug-seeking nurse patient

    Batman24 replied to chenoaspirit's topic in General Nursing

    I guess the mother is in denial that her daughter is mentally ill which only makes it worse. I guess the cycle just keeps continuing. What a waste of money and time for all

  25. my drug-seeking nurse patient

    Batman24 replied to chenoaspirit's topic in General Nursing

    That's absurd. Patients like this should be split up. I'm sure you are exhausted and stressed after days of
