  1. Refusal question, please give me your thoughts.

    Batman24 replied to emndarmic's topic in General Nursing

    As someone with severe allergies to cats I couldn't return there even if I wanted to. I'd need a trip to the ER long before the 3 hours is up. I would urge your employer to call APS and/or whoever...

  2. The nurse who wasn't. Thoughts and comments.

    Batman24 replied to lulu123's topic in General Nursing

    Do you want to do the Master's program or the nursing first?! I would go for an Associate's as it's usually about 2 years but could be less as you will have quite a few of the pre-reqs given your...

  3. Sadistic CI? I need an opinion.

    Batman24 replied to AliveToday's topic in General Students

    I really don't think your CI meant any harm here. This was clearly to get all of you to chuckle and not at all meant to offend. If she were teaching these things it would be an issue but I'm sure you...

  4. Personal Hygiene...

    Batman24 replied to Michelle123's topic in General Nursing

    I grew up in a home where if you didn't feel well you took a shower ASAP and put on fresh jammies. My mother is a nurse and always felt that when you were clean you would start to feel better and it...

  5. The nurse who wasn't. Thoughts and comments.

    Batman24 replied to lulu123's topic in General Nursing

    People are giving you good advice not to purse a nursing degree if you aren't going to go into nursing. It won't help you unless you actually get nursing experience in the field which isn't something...

  6. Need ideas for SNA activities

    Batman24 replied to JStyles1's topic in General Nursing

    How about letting them vote on a charity to support as a group and then having a summer car wash?! Those are fun and make money. Not sure if this what you would be looking for but are you able to go...

  7. New nurse making job unbearable!

    Batman24 replied to shelly304's topic in General Nursing

    Good riddance. I'm glad she quit so all of you can go back to a happy and productive existence at work. She sounds painfully

  8. My bad attitude

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

    I'm a new nurse but I always wondered if in a case like this who do you go to for protection. Can you call the BON and make them aware so they can put a not in your file about the situation in the...

  9. My bad attitude

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

    I like that idea. Funny thing is YOU have the paper trail in the form of a great evaluation with a 5% raise days

  10. My bad attitude

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

    Bottom line is they are livid you took action and got a doctor involved in safe patient practice. You were TOTALLY right here as was the doctor. They now want to push it all on you as the scapegoat to...

  11. You won't believe this.....HORRIBLE!!!!!!!!

    Batman24 replied to epsilonprodigy's topic in General Nursing

    I didn't mention an incident report and I agree one should be written in addition to talking to the ER manager. Great

  12. You won't believe this.....HORRIBLE!!!!!!!!

    Batman24 replied to epsilonprodigy's topic in General Nursing

    It was nice of you to stick up for her. I'm sure that made her feel so much better. I would now report it. This is

  13. "My" job is being advertised in the employment ad!

    Batman24 replied to TheCommuter's topic in General Nursing

    I think they are adding staff as it is so prominently advertised but I could see why it has your ante up. As far as them cutting back on aides when you are already short staffed that's horrifying....

  14. Med Aides giving PRN meds

    Batman24 replied to jacesmom2's topic in General Nursing

    I'd turn this over to your facility ASAP and look for another job PRONTO. There is no way I would sacrifice my license here. NONE. How do you know who does what when you aren't even there?! That's...

  15. Personal Malpractice Insurance

    Batman24 replied to ProvRN's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, you should ALWAYS have your own

  16. Holiday Rotation

    Batman24 replied to JuneBug04's topic in General Nursing

    Why did they make the change?! Did things work well under the old plan?! Going from working 3 holidays to 6 is a big deal. Totally demoralizing. Not paying holiday pay for all of them just adds insult...

  17. charting"incident report filled" in nurse's notes

    Batman24 replied to NICURN04's topic in General Nursing

    I'm confused as to why you would write the incident report here and not the RT. I also don't understand why an inceident report was even needed here. One question I did have was if the RT was...

  18. Family always watching direct care?

    Batman24 replied to smstar1996's topic in General Nursing

    I went into a room as a very new student nurse and there were a ton of people in there. I asked everyone to leave so the patient could get care. You would have thought I asked them to kick puppies in...

  19. Fellow RN killed this morning

    Batman24 replied to TigerGalLE's topic in General Nursing

    How tragic. You will all be in my thoughts and prayers. God bless you

  20. The Customer is always right

    Batman24 replied to MrsMommaRN's topic in General Nursing

    Infants in hospitals is such a terrible idea followed by toddlers and very young children. Barring an extreme circumstance I truly believe they should be left at home for the sake of their own health...

  21. The Customer is always right

    Batman24 replied to MrsMommaRN's topic in General Nursing

    That's exactly what I would do next time around. You were only following hospital policy and enforcing their

  22. The Customer is always right

    Batman24 replied to MrsMommaRN's topic in General Nursing

    Too many managers don't support their nurses. Nurses are asked to enforce hospital policy but if anyone puts up a stink and the manager is spineless they let them break the rules. Once one gets what...

  23. Trauma Naked?

    Batman24 replied to mark90's topic in General Nursing

    Clothes being cut away, catheters, rectal exams for suspected traumas are all pretty standard. You might not have been undressed as long as you thought as chances are these things were done fairly...

  24. What if men dominated the Nursing profession?

    Batman24 replied to **All Heart RN**'s topic in General Nursing

    If men dominated the pay would be higher as men are still paid higher than women in the same job even in today's day and age. Also, there are many men in managerial positions in this field. They run...

  25. My school won't let me retake any of my prerequisites

    Batman24 replied to oned's topic in General Nursing

    Is there a school in your area that takes all applicants on a waiting list basis as long as they fulfill the criteria i.e. high school bio and chem, minimum of C in college courses, etc.?! If yes, I...
