  1. Code status and end of life should be nursing decisions.

    Batman24 replied to Woodenpug's topic in General Nursing

    That's how I think it should

  2. Food Addiction?

    Batman24 replied to TheCommuter's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I have been thinking for days about opening a topic on this very subject so was pleasantly surprised to see it staring me in the face. I think it might be fate because I know I need help and just seem...

  3. Is this a "no-no"?

    Batman24 replied to beachbum3's topic in Emergency

    If your child is in pain I wouldn't have any qualms about bringing them to the ER if you can't get into your doctor's office for days. If anyone was annoyed that's on them. Your child's pain has to...

  4. Combative Pt. Spat in my Face, Eyes, Mouth-Dealing with Policy/Procedure now :(

    Batman24 replied to Gr8Dane's topic in General Nursing

    I will pray everything is negative. It sounds like your supervisor has our back here. Were they made to fill out the necessary documents?! Was an incident report filed due to length of time you...

  5. Combative Pt. Spat in my Face, Eyes, Mouth-Dealing with Policy/Procedure now :(

    Batman24 replied to Gr8Dane's topic in General Nursing

    Big ditto on both

  6. ridiculing and grooming (and nailpolish)

    Batman24 replied to GingerSue's topic in General Nursing

    If the patient said no then the answer is no. If it is for a medical reason she should explain that, but if he still declines that is his choice. Making fun of a patient isn't nice regardless of their...

  7. I am a male RN, now bow down.

    Batman24 replied to Trauma1RN's topic in General Nursing

    I would chalk it up to jealousy and people not taking accountability for themselves. I'm thrilled to see more males entering the field of nursing....

  8. Reviews.....Ugh

    Batman24 replied to peds_cna's topic in General Nursing

    A lot of times reviews in all fields include something negative or "constructive" as they like to say. I think it can be bush league. If the employee is doing a great job they should be commended and...

  9. How do I control my nerves / Help

    Batman24 replied to Larry in Florida's topic in General Nursing

    Whenever something makes me anxious I remember that it will be over in a hour, a week, a day, etc. Knowing there is an end in sight makes me feel better. I also try and think of something fun I will...

  10. Working in an OB/GYN office

    Batman24 replied to everthesame's topic in General Nursing

    My friend works per diem for a hospital in post partum and sometimes in NICU. She interviewed recently for a position in an OB/GYN office, but declined the job. She said the staff was excellent and...

  11. How to approach my manager??

    Batman24 replied to miko014's topic in General Nursing

    Short and sweet...you'd like to move to day shift. Period. You don't need to tell her why. Let her know you'd like to move

  12. You can help me when you have time

    Batman24 replied to jessiern's topic in General Nursing

    Sounds like her response was very condescending. You did the right thing by caring for your patient, but I would address the issue with your manager. Could be she was having a bad night if she usually...

  13. Fighting Involuntary Termination

    Batman24 replied to medsurgrnco's topic in General Nursing

    I'm a little confused. Answer if you think you can publicly. Was an allegation made against you by a patient?! How serious would you allege the allegation to be?! When you talk about the manager...

  14. Mandatory Overtime

    Batman24 replied to ittybittybabynurse's topic in General Nursing

    Exactly which is why I wouldn't risk it by appeasing a hospital's unrealistic

  15. Mandatory Overtime

    Batman24 replied to ittybittybabynurse's topic in General Nursing

    I would speak to the other nurses and see if you can all band together. A group of strong voices could go a long way here. Keep the focus on patient safety stating none of you feel you can provide...

  16. Mandatory Overtime

    Batman24 replied to ittybittybabynurse's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe other states will grow a brain and do the

  17. Mandatory Overtime

    Batman24 replied to ittybittybabynurse's topic in General Nursing

    Good for you. Calling CPS is

  18. puching out 'no break'

    Batman24 replied to hollyberry678's topic in General Nursing

    Agreed. Like the old saying goes, "You teach people how to treat you." Let an employer treat you like crap and many will. Employers know the law, but many won't enforce it unless forced to do so. It's...

  19. OMG...32 pts!

    Batman24 replied to jessiern's topic in General Nursing

    Refuse the assignment. If you don't this will set a bad pattern. It also puts you in a terrible position should anything go wrong. I agree with James about the letter. I know there is something in...

  20. What the heck is a Netie pot?

    Batman24 replied to UM Review RN's topic in General Nursing

    I learned about it on Oprah. Dr. Oz had someone in the audience try it out and they swear by it. I've only heard good things about it. I really should invest in one as I have horrible

  21. Family members that work your nerves!!!

    Batman24 replied to BluntForceTrauma's topic in General Nursing

    Did you fill out an incident report or let your supervisor know?! I would just to get documentation started. It seems like he's looking for a

  22. calories and intake while waiting for surgery

    Batman24 replied to GingerSue's topic in General Nursing

    Why is there such a delay getting the surgery done?! He's lucky to have a good nurse looking out for him. I bet he's hungry on top of being hurt. Is he complaining?! Any chance someone will operate...

  23. Family members that work your nerves!!!

    Batman24 replied to BluntForceTrauma's topic in General Nursing

    I find it deplorable that he stripped the patient down, etc. That is a complete invasion of the patient's privacy and a HIPAA violation. If it happens again I would take action

  24. puching out 'no break'

    Batman24 replied to hollyberry678's topic in General Nursing

    Good for you. I hope your co-workers are doing the

  25. puching out 'no break'

    Batman24 replied to hollyberry678's topic in General Nursing

    I agree. Several nurses on this very board have been denied breaks/lunches and not paid. People got brave and many have gotten checks to make up for this along with not being paid O/T. They are...
