  1. restructuring the hospital into the Hilton

    Batman24 replied to abbaking's topic in General Nursing

    I feel bad for the patients that are really ill and sharing a room/floor with patients that have big families and tons of friends spending the night. Can you imagine puking your guts up from chemo and...

  2. Certified Legal Nurse Investigator

    Batman24 replied to LadyT618's topic in General Nursing

    After I finish NS this is something that would definitely interest

  3. Now receiving deceptinve resumes from ADN students: What gives?

    Batman24 replied to llg's topic in General Nursing

    Delete.

  4. RN vs. PA

    Batman24 replied to TraumaNurseRN's topic in Emergency

    Anyone who is medical personnel whether they be a doctor, nurse, PA, CNA, etc. should help someone off a bedpan if asked especially if everyone else is busy with an emergency. It isn't about title or...

  5. "You are getting very good care"

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

    There are some circumstances that this phrase would be completely and utterly out of line. They need to allow nurses to use their brains here. I also find it completely insulting to a patient's...

  6. Another "great idea"

    Batman24 replied to miko014's topic in General Nursing

    Every time the patient complains about the schedule tell the manager to go speak with them. If all the nurses did this with each complaint maybe they would see just how bad it is. This really isn't a...

  7. Another "great idea"

    Batman24 replied to miko014's topic in General Nursing

    I think you are going to be spending a lot of time explaining why other departments are running late, behind schedule, backed up, etc. It will take away from nursing care if you can't get out of the...

  8. drug testing in school

    Batman24 replied to prettylittlenurse2b's topic in General Nursing

    When you take a drug test for these things do you have to pee in front of someone?! I think I read a nurse here say they did. I've taken drug tests for financial jobs at big companies but peed in a...

  9. "You are getting very good care"

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

    They are trying to drill it into the patients heads for survery purposes. If I were sick and people kept saying that to me I'd want to throttle them.

  10. Do I need to take legal actions???

    Batman24 replied to punkypunky's topic in General Nursing

    If you are becoming an LPN then I don't think you wasted your time. Once you pass your boards and are licensed you can probably find a community college or even an online program to get your RN....

    Question-Are you currently a

  12. New nurse here...slapped today by patient.

    Batman24 replied to Bonny619's topic in General Nursing

    I would still fill out an incident report even if you don't want to press charges. It would be smart to have it on file. Do it

  13. birth control and pap HELP SCARED

    Batman24 replied to 4x4country's topic in General Nursing

    If he wants to come in the room and you are okay with it I would let him. I think it will calm your

  14. Food Addiction?

    Batman24 replied to TheCommuter's topic in Nurses Recovery

  15. Food Addiction?

    Batman24 replied to TheCommuter's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I do have terrible cravings. I've had them for years. Sometimes it can be from seeing a commercial and getting that food in my head. My cravings can be sugary or salty. Sometimes they are even for a...

  16. birth control and pap HELP SCARED

    Batman24 replied to 4x4country's topic in General Nursing

    Take a friend, sister, etc. in with you if that would make you more comfortable. I did this with my friend and she was much calmer with someone she knew in the room. Tell them it is your first exam....

  17. I have never been nasty to a student until now!!!

    Batman24 replied to ShayRN's topic in General Nursing

    You weren't nasty at all. They shouldn't have been on the

  18. New Sick Leave Policy: Strange Or Not? Whaddya Think?

    Batman24 replied to Nurse!Nurse!Hello?'s topic in General Nursing

    Better but still a terrible idea. It's inconsistent and idiotic. It also seems from reading this site that medical staff is held to different standards than other areas...HR, managers, operations,...

  19. New Sick Leave Policy: Strange Or Not? Whaddya Think?

    Batman24 replied to Nurse!Nurse!Hello?'s topic in General Nursing

    I'm a NS but I think #3 would be considered discriminatory against aides. It should be one policy for all staff. And leaving it to the CN discretion is also a terrible idea. It allows for too much...

  20. pt vs staff abuse

    Batman24 replied to troubleatwork's topic in General Nursing

    I would do both of these things TODAY. The other nurse probably just cost the hospital a lot of money should the patient sue. Good. I've learned on this forum to call 911 immediately so charges can...

  21. New nurse here...slapped today by patient.

    Batman24 replied to Bonny619's topic in General Nursing

    If he's not of sound mind I wouldn't press charges either. It's the people who abuse and are of sound mind that should be held criminally accountable. It's a shame hospitals like to sweep it under the...

  22. New nurse here...slapped today by patient.

    Batman24 replied to Bonny619's topic in General Nursing

    If you had to do it all over again would you have pressed charges or been more adamant about not going back into the room?! Just curious as I am a NS now and it seems students are really afraid to...

  23. New nurse here...slapped today by patient.

    Batman24 replied to Bonny619's topic in General Nursing

    I'd like to know these things too. Did you file an incident report?! If you want to press charges do it. Sounds like you have a legitimate

  24. You're too sensitive...

    Batman24 replied to hollyberry678's topic in General Nursing

    I hate when people say it as a cop out to cover the bad behavior of others. They try to shift the blame and it's

  25. Suggestive ways of how you handled difficult patients/family

    Batman24 replied to burnoutward's topic in General Nursing

    I'd hug that doc. That really is a horrible way to treat the medical staff caring for your mother. If you have a problem state it so it an can be addressed. I also think there are some people that...
