  1. Help! The ER "Bully" got me!

    Batman24 replied to Party-of-Five-NY's topic in Emergency

    That's exactly how I would handle it. Talk to the CN tomorrow and get it on record with the manager. Only confront with a superior in the room as a witness. This will get a formal complaint on record...

  2. LVN to RN

    Batman24 replied to scubagoddess's topic in General Nursing

    My school is infamous for changing its courses so I feel your pain. It seems the ones that change most are the general education credits. I'm challenging the newly added English course (I already have...

  3. Does this scare anyone but me?!?!?!?!?

    Batman24 replied to AngelfireRN's topic in General Nursing

    That's scary. I'm glad no one was hurt. This time. I'm shocked he would be allowed to remain with a

  4. LPN students have to give bed bath to classmates

    Batman24 replied to vina2550's topic in General Students

    I would have had a heart attack if told I needed to give/get an intimate exam to a classmate. I'm shy and would have had a freakin' coronary. You would all have gotten practice with CPR that day.

  5. As nurses do you see the need for medical assistants?

    Batman24 replied to pumpkin1984's topic in General Nursing

    I do have a problem in that the doctor can pull the receptionist in the room and pass them off as a MA. I find that to be an invasion of my privacy and this does happen. I would prefer medical...

  6. Former addict a nurse?

    Batman24 replied to JoeyDog's topic in General Nursing

    I agree that you should MYOB. If he can't keep up with the course load, clinicals, etc. he will fail out all by his own doing. I agree with those that say he deserves a chance here. He will sink or...

  7. Getting paid by the case

    Batman24 replied to heather2084's topic in Operating Room

    They want to save money. I hope all the medical staff involved in this fight it tooth and nail. Chances are you will make less money so don't believe what they say. You will also spend time fighting...

  8. question about pediatric/adolescent physicals

    Batman24 replied to twahls65's topic in Pediatric

    I would talk to your manager about your concersn ASAP. I don't believe your job will be in jeopardy for doing so. Some of these issues should be addressed before they lead to a problem. I bet the...

  9. Is it a HIPPA violation?

    Batman24 replied to DixieNurse2244's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    Let's say the CN did find out from someone at the party in something as innocent as, " We were drinking and had a blast. Shame XYZ sprained her ankle." I could see that happening with no bad...

  10. Charge Nurse without the pay

    Batman24 replied to chenoaspirit's topic in General Nursing

    Say no. They are taking advantage and can't have it both ways. No pay=no charge nurse. Simple as

  11. The field of Nursing is wicked to CENAs..the ugly side no one talks about

    Batman24 replied to Ms. Nurse Assistant's topic in General Nursing

    Don't let this get you down. You are young and looking to make a better future for yourself. That is your first priority not some cranky LPN that would only continue to make your life hell if you...

  12. What Is An OR Tech?!

    Batman24 replied to Batman24's topic in Operating Room

    Just curious-Would you ever go back to NS and become a RN, Shari or do you love this job and not want to leave it?! It might be worth it to you from a financial standpoint if that was a concern. It...

  13. Is it a HIPPA violation?

    Batman24 replied to DixieNurse2244's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    I agree. I took it as a get together the same way you did and put "work party" in quotes because I thought perhaps that would be the lame excuse given. That still wouldn't make it right. I hope they...

  14. Is it a HIPPA violation?

    Batman24 replied to DixieNurse2244's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    Pre-Req Nursing Student here...how does the OP go into the meeting tomorrow?! Do they get a lawyer and then meet with the Charge Nurse?! Is that overkill?! I would be worried only because if you don't...

  15. question about pediatric/adolescent physicals

    Batman24 replied to twahls65's topic in Pediatric

    I forgot...I did have a urine sample done at my yearly physical. I think I gave it at the office before my

  16. question about pediatric/adolescent physicals

    Batman24 replied to twahls65's topic in Pediatric

    I'm going to answer this based on my own experience. I never took off my bra at the pediatrician's office and I was seen there until the age of 18. I did go down to panties and a bra, but my mother...

  17. What Is An OR Tech?!

    Batman24 replied to Batman24's topic in Operating Room

    TY for explaining. I appreciate it and feel much better after being educated on your role. I really didn't know this job even existed until I came into this forum. I am going to look at the site you...

  18. Lessons learned from the other side of the call light

    Batman24 replied to grace90's topic in General Nursing

    JustaPatient, That is the kind of nurse I want to be. Glad someone gave you the comfort and dignity you needed and

  19. Lessons learned from the other side of the call light

    Batman24 replied to grace90's topic in General Nursing

    I read that thread and it was disturbing. I was shocked at how many people were judged to be drug seekers when they were really in terrible pain and in dire need of medical help. You were one of those...

  20. Did Hillary really say nurses are glorified sitters ?..... No fact to support

    Batman24 replied to time4meRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    This quote simply doesn't exist. This question has been asked again and again on this site and it has never once been verified. If it was accurate you can be sure that her opponents would be using it...

  21. Patient Modesty

    Batman24 replied to creinkent's topic in Operating Room

    If the patients consented to pics and video being taken during a personal procedure then I see no problem with it whatsoever. Some patients aren't shy or modest about their bits and pieces being seen...

  22. The drug-seeker file in ER

    Batman24 replied to Anagray's topic in Emergency

    TY

  23. Patient Modesty

    Batman24 replied to creinkent's topic in Operating Room

    Anxious Patient: Have you called/written the hospital to let them know that you were told that you couldn't alter the document and were advised to let them know verbally instead?! Patients are being...

  24. What do you mean I didn't get a raise........

    Batman24 replied to MoriahRoseRN's topic in General Nursing

    My husband works for a large financial institution and he didn't get a raise this year either. Apparently they have puts caps on all jobs and he's met the cap. Shocker!! He makes good money and a nice...

  25. Vacation 'Denied' due to another nurse's medical leave: Fair or not??

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

    Scheduling a non-urgent surgery for 6 weeks out of the summer isn't fair. If this were an emergency situation staff might be slightly more tolerable. I still don't think it's fair either way. Hire...
