  1. Patient's family that lies and blames everything on staff....

    Batman24 replied to TigerGalLE's topic in General Nursing

    Hopefully they move out of your hospital so all of you get a break, but they will do the same exact thing at the next hospital as well. This is what people like that do. They won't change....

  3. can I get fired ?

    Batman24 replied to coffee4metech's topic in Private Duty

    They are taking advantage of you because they can. You need to put your foot down and tell them you flat out won't handle this patient again and why. You gave them a month and that's MORE than...

  6. I dont handle lazy aides well

    Batman24 replied to hollyberry678's topic in General Nursing

    Do those of you with ongoing problems write the aides up and get a paper trail started? I haven't had to do this with our aides but I have started paper trails in other areas because I know management...

  8. I dont handle lazy aides well

    Batman24 replied to hollyberry678's topic in General Nursing

    I feel bad for so many of you because if your management backed you this wouldn't happen. The nurses work hard as do the aides where I work. We don't really even have to delegate because the aides...

    Batman24 replied to GCTMT's topic in General Nursing

  10. Just how much of an excuse should "I'm expecting" be

    Batman24 replied to kerric511's topic in General Nursing

    If the others feel the same present this as a united front. As you are in the ER perhaps she can work triage from here on out. She could be told that will be her role and that is where she will stay....

  13. Nurse having personal relationship with patient

    Batman24 replied to wheelofadeal's topic in General Nursing

    They should resign from this patient's care immediately. If they are in love they can continue their relationship outside of a patient/caretaker situation. Tell them to get assigned to someone else...

  15. True? --> "RN's Can Work 3Days/Wk And Make A Good Salary!"

    Batman24 replied to ArtisticAthlete's topic in General Nursing

    In your area chances are more than good you will be able to make more than 50k a year. I make about 75k and I'm right outside NYC. As long as your facility offers 3 12s that will be doable. I don't...

  16. Worried about being sued

    Batman24 replied to Susan9608's topic in General Nursing

    You received great advice. You documented thoroughly which will help if they do sue. I would also keep a record of everything they have said since including date and time. NEVER respond to them. And...

  17. If healthcare reform resulted in salary caps of $40k for nurses would you stay?

    Batman24 replied to keithjones's topic in General Nursing

    That'd be about half what I make now so I can safely say

  18. Am I being too sensitive?

    Batman24 replied to AmericanChai's topic in General Nursing

    Even though it was meant to be funny and I'm glad you now see it in that light, I'm sorry if it caused you any pain. I'll be sending good thoughts and prayers to your daughter, you, and your family....

  19. Is it possible to get into an accelerated BSN program without taking Chem?

    Batman24 replied to Ted D's topic in General Nursing

    We had to take it in my AA program. Chem, API and APII were all mandatory. Just take it and get it out of the way. It's really not bad at

  20. how do you get NA's to help more? (those that want to do the minimum)

    Batman24 replied to hollyberry678's topic in General Nursing

    Write them up. If they don't do their jobs you need to start a paper trail as the managers can't avoid that as easily as a verbal

  21. I told my cousin something....

    Batman24 replied to snuffyRN's topic in General Nursing

    You did nothing wrong and of course there was no HIPAA violation. You let them know and they still didn't see their mother. Either she's not allowed to visit and under her husband's control OR the...

  22. Should I have made a complaint against this anesthesiologist?

    Batman24 replied to PopeJane3rd's topic in General Nursing

    You had a good doctor. She kept you safe and alive and was smart to pass this info on as it is important for you to know in the future. Many patients have very sore throats after surgery. Totally...

  23. ATTN: Becoming a Medical Assistant=Waste of Time

    Batman24 replied to msnjie4RN's topic in General Nursing

    MA is a ton of money and it isn't the equivalent of a nurse no matter what they try and tell you. You also have more limited job opportunities because they aren't hired in all areas of healthcare....

  24. Nurses providing good "service"?

    Batman24 replied to SoundofMusic's topic in General Nursing

    Instead of introducing yourself as the nurse introduce yourself as the customer service rep and see how they respond to it. Let your employer know you are just trying to let the customer know you are...

  25. How do I explain that I'm "JUST" a LPN ??

    Batman24 replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Nursing

    "I'm a nurse." Short and sweet. You owe no further explanation that that with family and friends. Your scope only comes into play with your employment. And your not "just" a LPN. You are a licensed...
