  1. my drug-seeking nurse patient

    Batman24 replied to chenoaspirit's topic in General Nursing

    When patients are known to be faking seizures do you call a psych consult?! I've never had this happen as of yet so just wondering. I would try and make sure that all the nurses have to take a turn...

  2. Nurses demand lawmakers force hospitals to ease workload.

    Batman24 replied to Justme123's topic in General Nursing

    Gotta love anyone who thinks more nurses and better staffing would hinder care. God help anyone who actually believes that. Good for the nurses. I pray more states do follow Cali's

  3. termination

    Batman24 replied to susan5864's topic in General Nursing

    The nurse trying to get you to resign is odd. If your employer set them up to it that leads me to believe some of what you are hearing is crap. They only would want you to resign if they had no...

  4. termination

    Batman24 replied to susan5864's topic in General Nursing

    How long have you been employed here?! Are you part of a union where you can call your rep?! I would sign nothing especially if you don't agree with it. Stay quiet and let them talk so you can collect...

  5. The Hospital Spa

    Batman24 replied to Medic2RN's topic in General Nursing

    It could be that they were trying to comfort the patient and making light of their being in ICU. If that's the case it was sweet and caring even though I'm sure the patient knows the ICU is no spa....

  6. Assaulted by patient... VENT

    Batman24 replied to CeeKayRN's topic in Emergency

    I hope you are feeling better. Just curious how things went with the police. I hope charges were pressed and the case will proceed. It

  7. hired after age 58 as rn?

    Batman24 replied to suespets's topic in General Nursing

  8. At age 39, should I start nursing program?

    Batman24 replied to ijuanabhappy's topic in General Nursing

    Of course!! You can do

  9. Working Overtime!!!!!!!!!!!

    Batman24 replied to BearyPrivate's topic in General Nursing

    Sorry for your crappy day. If working O/T and going in early aren't appreciated start saying no. Maybe if they don't get bailed out so much they will hire more staff. One can only

  10. Why the Customer Service emphasis?

    Batman24 replied to SoundofMusic's topic in General Nursing

    I see shutting the doornot as good customer service but as good patient care. I find calling patients customers very disrespectful to patients, their familes, their illness, etc. We aren't dealing...

  11. Why the Customer Service emphasis?

    Batman24 replied to SoundofMusic's topic in General Nursing

    Dupe.

  12. Why the Customer Service emphasis?

    Batman24 replied to SoundofMusic's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sorry, Shelley. I hope hubby is starting to feel a little better. Try to take a little time today to take a nice hot shower and ease the stress a bit. Perhaps them finding you were a nurse later...

  13. I'm gonna sue you

    Batman24 replied to jessiern's topic in General Nursing

    This is a funny story. In ER we had a guy come in beaten up but completely conscious and yelling at everyone and everything. The doctor asked him who did this to him and he replied, "Some guy in a bar...

  14. Why the Customer Service emphasis?

    Batman24 replied to SoundofMusic's topic in General Nursing

    It's all about the mighty buck. I'd rather money from survery go to hiring more staff as that is what would really help out. A patient who waits 4 hours in the ER to be seen is going to be royally mad...

  15. OB Rotation is Hell

    Batman24 replied to Cartman1532's topic in Male Nursing Students

    There are two males nurses who work OB at my hospital. Hopefully when male students come through that have an interest in this field it will give them some hope that it can be done

  16. VENT... beware- not a happy post

    Batman24 replied to Sue Damones's topic in General Nursing

    Awww...sorry things are rough right now. You sound like an excellent nurse and a caring in one to boot. I hope you have a day off soon to get some rest. First off, pee when you have to. I got a nasty...

  17. rats!!

    Batman24 replied to nightnursecupofjava's topic in General Nursing

    It will catch up with her and she better pray that her minding eveyone else's business doesn't end up causing harm to her own patients. I try and stay away from people who are toxic. Only deal with...

  18. lunch time insubordination

    Batman24 replied to nurseulove's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with a lot of the comments above. I don't see the CNAs as wrong in these cases. The CNA was right to say no as she was waiting for a patient. If you wanted her to walk a different patient out...

  19. Does being a guy have any affect on being accepted into your schools nursing program?

    Batman24 replied to cjcsoon2bnp's topic in Male Nursing Students

    The male applicants will need to meet the same requirements that the females do for acceptance to the school. That is completely equal. Entry can be easier for males that meet the criteria if the...

  20. Irritated how nurses rip into each other..

    Batman24 replied to RN1982's topic in General Nursing

    She was wrong to begin with but in front of a patient makes it even worse. That's very unprofessional. I'd give her a pass this time because I always give everyone a slide as we all have bad days. If...

  21. A rant: sick time use and policies

    Batman24 replied to andre's topic in General Nursing

    We only have to bring a note if we are out more than 3 days in a row which isn't too bad. The management seems pretty good with those that call out sick and it doesn't happen all too often. One nurse...

  22. A rant: sick time use and policies

    Batman24 replied to andre's topic in General Nursing

    I think I'm in love with her and I don't even go that way. That's

  23. AMA House of Delegates Considers Limits on on Nursing Education and Practice

    Batman24 replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    They're scuuuuuured. They should be welcoming this with open arms. They point out nurses with doctorates will be able to be called doctors. Ummm....anyone with a doctorate in any field can be called...

  24. Will you work during a Pandemic?

    Batman24 replied to Goju's topic in Disaster Preparation

  25. What is the Law for Nurses taking breaks?

    Batman24 replied to Ebeza's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    How do they know what you are doing on your break?! If you go to your car and drive 5 minutes down the road and nap how would they even know?! Just make sure you set an alarm so you don't oversleep....
