  1. i got a needle stick today need prayer

    Batman24 replied to texas_lvn's topic in General Nursing

    I agree to call your PCP ASAP if you haven't already. Good

  2. Can one become a nurse if one has Genital Herpes?

    Batman24 replied to Serenity9595's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Leave it off the form. Your genitals are private. It's none of your nursing school's business as it will have no effect on your ability to perform nursing

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

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

    Forget getting a nursing job without poop you won't get through nursing school without dealing with it. Loads of it. Also, no adult likes to poop or pee the bed. It's embarassing. Our job is to...

  4. i got a needle stick today need prayer

    Batman24 replied to texas_lvn's topic in General Nursing

    I'll pray for you. I'm sure you will be just fine. You need to tell the person you were working with to calm down. I know they meant no harm but being fed up and yanking things with needles in hand...

  5. CNA position urology office

    Batman24 replied to errorunknown's topic in General Nursing

    That would be my first step as well. Good

  6. I'm in trouble for doing my job?!

    Batman24 replied to LokiM's topic in General Nursing

    Your manager is a spineless moron. You have been doing this for years without incident and someone complains and it's now your job to change things AND lose money?! This sounds like a trap setting...

  7. Nurses Past Their Prime

    Batman24 replied to dialysis12041999's topic in General Nursing

    Edit.

  8. Is this wrong? Death and Dying

    Batman24 replied to Karynica, RN's topic in General Nursing

    Nothing worng with sharing that information. Look at how your instructor helped you by sharing her story. I bet your class was touched you shared the information and will remember you when dealing...

  9. I want her fired!!!!

    Batman24 replied to HisTreasure's topic in General Nursing

    What a shame she was fired. If I worked there I would think of looking for a new employer. This one seems to have no backbone or respect for its staff. I do agree with those that state to shoo family...

  10. Scrubs to tight? How do you tell someone?

    Batman24 replied to Absolutely13's topic in General Nursing

    If their managers think this is an issue it is up to them to let them know. I'd butt out. No pun intended.

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

    Batman24 replied to RNFROMTHEHILL's topic in General Nursing

    Her employer is potentially setting themselves up for a lawsuit should something go awry with a patient. She is misrepresenting herself and the doctor is allowing her to do so. It can be illegal in...

  12. Is my boss committing fraud?

    Batman24 replied to wabisabi's topic in General Nursing

    If she has the appropriate signatures the certifying organization might not even take your complaint to heart. And I'm not sure asking her is the right course of action either because I can't imagine...

  13. No more internet access

    Batman24 replied to racing-mom4's topic in General Nursing

    There needs to be some common sense applied here by both parties. If nurses are working 12 hour days without a lunch/break and need to per se make a quick call to make sure their kids are okay or...

  14. Co-Workers Read My Medical Files

    Batman24 replied to nurse7272's topic in General Nursing

    Start a paper trial by sending a written complaint to HR. Report the HIPAA violation to your Compliance and Legal Dept. in writing ASAP as well. gte it out there to a few different departments. I have...

  15. EEK! There's a woman in my room!

    Batman24 replied to 58flyer's topic in General Nursing

    Awww...thank you. That's a nice thing to say. I think when patients know they are really being heard and know we really care it can be

  16. EEK! There's a woman in my room!

    Batman24 replied to 58flyer's topic in General Nursing

    If I couldn't accomodate you I would be honest and state as much. If it wasn't an emergency I would advise you to re-schedule and have you talk to your surgeon about your request. It would be hard to...

    Batman24 replied to LVNwannaBE2007's topic in General Nursing

    Your mother just needs to be educated that cancer, etc. doesn't have any pre-requisites. Nuns can get

  18. gyno appt

    Batman24 replied to LVNwannaBE2007's topic in General Nursing

    I'd suggest bringing your mom, sister or friend in with you. That helps a lot especially for the first appointment. The whole thing takes about 10 minutes even though it feels like an eternity. lol...

  19. Is it right to try to negotiate pay?

    Batman24 replied to chenoaspirit's topic in General Nursing

    Of course you should try and negotiate your salary. Many places make lower offers expecting you will do

  20. DUI suspect gets $15,000 for forced catheterization

    Batman24 replied to Balder_LPN's topic in General Nursing

    Here's the original article I read on this matter at this site. It states why they didn't go after the medical staff and hospital. The man sounds like some kind of scumbag, but they should have...

  21. DUI suspect gets $15,000 for forced catheterization

    Batman24 replied to Balder_LPN's topic in General Nursing

    A nurse did it. I recall that from another article I read on the matter. I believe it was on this site. They didn't go after the nurse or hospital because they felt they were complying with the...

  22. DUI suspect gets $15,000 for forced catheterization

    Batman24 replied to Balder_LPN's topic in General Nursing

    If there was a court order would that cover the nurse or doc that did it?! I don't think I would do it without the legal protection of

  23. Breaking Company Policy/Conflict of Interest

    Batman24 replied to Gingbro's topic in General Nursing

    If they are providing quality care I would let it go. If your boss and her superior have no problem with it then perhaps they did receive approval before proceeding with the hire. And while other...

  24. ever bring your dog to work?

    Batman24 replied to melisgood's topic in General Nursing

    That's really sweet of you. I have a dog and would also feel 150% better if I got to visit with her. Animals make me happy and it seems they have the same effect on many patients. I can also...

  25. Nurse = Co Dependent?

    Batman24 replied to 4fill's topic in General Nursing

    I've seen topics and posts like this one before. I'm doing pre-reqs right now and while I don't see myself as co-dependent I do so myself as a people pleaser. I am working on it now because if I don't...
