  1. AMAZED at what some students get away with!!!

    Batman24 replied to nervousnurse's topic in General Nursing

    - That was how ours worked as well. They tried to give us clinicals similiar to what our work schedule would be like after we graduated. I think you can see laziness in students and in licensed...

  2. "Yelling"

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

    I'm lucky because the vast majority of nurses, doctors, and CNAs I work with are all great. I have never heard any of them yell as of yet and chances are I won't as it just isn't that type of...

  3. "My Mom Can't Sleep!"

    Batman24 replied to miko014's topic in General Nursing

    I got yelled at for carrots the other day. The patient apparently likes the round ones and not baby carrots. Their mother was devastated over the carrots. She should take a walk over to ICU. It might...

  4. Not Paid Enough

    Batman24 replied to LolaSPN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    You are grossly underpaid for all the work you do. Sit down and have a frank discussion about an appropriate salary. If they ask what you want go high because they will come back with a lower amount....

  5. Obama assists at St. Louis hospital

    Batman24 replied to 2bNurseguru's topic in General Nursing

    I bet she had a light load with world's greatest patients and families. Totally unrealistic. Have him go in at shift change after a brutal shift that was understaffed as usual with tons of complaining...

  6. Medication Aides

    Batman24 replied to R.L.Silva's topic in General Nursing

    If med aides were allowed to work in hospitals and we hired them I wouldn't work there any longer. I can't put my license on the line for someone else doing meds on my behalf. I know that sounds like...

  7. Moving home with the parents for school- better than debt?

    Batman24 replied to cherubhipster's topic in General Nursing

    I would stay with your boyfriend and not go back to a toxic environment. Better to have peace of mind and less stress at home when school is already stressful enough. Can you go to a community college...

  8. What is your take on multiple family members in room when they have roommate?

    Batman24 replied to hollyberry678's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Maybe they realized the world didn't really revolve around them and some people had it much worse than they

  9. Thats It!! Im Calling The State!!

    Batman24 replied to zimsaint's topic in General Nursing

    Good point. I bet they come out fairly quickly as this is effecting more than one patient. Good luck. I'll be praying for

  10. Very special case, Nursing as a second job, doable?

    Batman24 replied to NYC_NJ_RN's topic in General Nursing

    After you are trained chances are you could do 20 hours a month but when you are hired you will need to be trained and that will require more than 5 hours a week or 2 days a month. You might be able...

  11. Judging Nurses or Is It Just Me?

    Batman24 replied to HisTreasure's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, she was putting down nurses. Even if she had a bad experience most people are intelligent enough not to stereotype a whole profession as bad, incompetenet, etc. And making comment that some of...

  12. petty ? about med student

    Batman24 replied to hollyberry678's topic in General Nursing

    That's what I would have done. It's honest and it gives him a new way of looking at things. If he had questions as to what to do you could also teach him at that

  13. Doctors think their patient is your only patient

    Batman24 replied to chenoaspirit's topic in General Nursing

    He needs to be spoken to at once. He will just get more out of hand as time goes on if someone doesn't put a stop to it. And never apologize when you didn't do anything wrong. You took care of a...

  14. Shorted $800 on my first check as a GN

    Batman24 replied to brookorrn's topic in General Nursing

    YES!! YES!! YES!! How you handle this situation will set the tone of your future with this employer. Allow them to rip you off and treat you poorly and get ready for more of it. Write the letters as...

  15. I was the only RN on my floor named in the Press Ganey for the Month of MAY

    Batman24 replied to Morettia2's topic in General Nursing

    Congrats!! You should be so proud of yourself. I hate PG but I'm happy for you. wink I can see why your patients adore you. You sound like a fun and caring person as well as being a wonderful nurse. I...

  16. I know a CNA who's name badge says nurse!

    Batman24 replied to RNFROMTHEHILL's topic in General Nursing

    If you haven't gone to nursing school and you aren't licensed as a nurse don't call yourself one. It's a lie and misleads patients.

  17. Why do people go into nursing? Is it just the money?

    Batman24 replied to zoo*moon's topic in General Nursing

    I don't see it as being one way or the other. You can care about patients AND want to make a good living. We work very hard and I don't think we are paid enough for all we do. I don't like the mindset...

  18. Malpractice insurance = bad idea?

    Batman24 replied to Guitar_Heroine's topic in General Nursing

    I always carry my own. I will until the day my nursing career comes to an end. I also don't spread around that I have it at

  19. Why do people go into nursing? Is it just the money?

    Batman24 replied to zoo*moon's topic in General Nursing

    There's an article about this in the other news forum that was just posted a few days ago. It's absoolutely true that many nurses are going into different aspects of nursing and I have no doubt poor...

  20. Why do people go into nursing? Is it just the money?

    Batman24 replied to zoo*moon's topic in General Nursing

    I'm a recent nursing graduate and our instructor mentioned this to us several

  21. Safe Staffing Saves Lives - ANA has started a campaign for us

    Batman24 replied to BrokenRNheart's topic in General Nursing

    What they really meant to say was: "Please don't put anything in writing because we really don't want a paper trial where nurses have bought the despicable staffing conditions endearing patients to...

  22. My bad attitude

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

    This thread is so sad because we read about it here all too often. Nurses are supposed to be patient advocates. We are to protect them and speak out for them when they can't do so for themselves. We...

  23. Anyone can get into Nursing.

    Batman24 replied to indiawhitaker's topic in General Nursing

    People who love you encourage and support you. They don't make you feel down nor do they mock your dreams. They don't make fun of you and they don't make you feel bad about yourself. And they...

  24. Work Schedule Favoritism

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

    How may hours are you currently working?! What kind of contract do you have?! Does it state f/t hours?! I see you are a foreign nurse so I don't know how that effects you but if you could share that...

  25. Work Schedule Favoritism

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

    You're fighting a losing battle here. HR is lying right to your face. I would get your resume out and look for another f/t job
