  1. Glen Beck's hospital experience

    Batman24 replied to emmycRN's topic in Nursing News

    EndGame- I'm sorry to read about some of your experiences. They were awful on so many different levels. I wanted to see what happened after you reported the male nurse and the circumstances you...

  2. more than nursing professionals wearing scrubs

    Batman24 replied to wearingmanyhats's topic in General Nursing

    I don't like the scrubs look at all so it always amazes me that people who don't have to wear them choose to do so. lol I think they are sloppy looking even on the neatest of people. I liked when...

  3. What is "Press Gainey"?

    Batman24 replied to ScooterNurse's topic in General Nursing

    This is absurd. Patients aren't customers. Customers complain to a store about a thing. Patients aren't things. Customers are usually of sound mind, healthy, etc. They aren't coming into the store in...

  4. Is there anything else I can do for you? I have the time. (new hourly rounding sheet)

    Batman24 replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    I do think part of it has to do with this change, but the hospital should really go over these changes with the nursing staff if that is the case. It also sounds like the script comes from Press...

  5. Do I need a CNA certificate to become a LVN?

    Batman24 replied to Sally1's topic in General Nursing

    My cc also requires CNA, HHA or PCA certificate for the RN program. The others in the area don't require it. Ask the school to be

  6. Glen Beck's hospital experience

    Batman24 replied to emmycRN's topic in Nursing News

    Were the meds he was given excessive for this type of surgery?! It sounds like he was given enough to kill a horse. Could the problem with his bladder and hallucination be due to too much drugs versus...

  7. Anyone Dealing With Changing Pre-Reqs?!

    Batman24 posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am 17 credits into my General Ed requirements and had 4 classes left to take. Today I was checking the pre-reqs again and it has changed to include English 235 which I don't have. I'm livid. I've...

  8. Would Any Nurses Consider A Career As An Ultrasound Technician?!

    Batman24 posted a topic in General Nursing

    My friend is an RN and knows about my interest in becoming a nurse. She talked about how she might have become an Ultrasound Tech if she had to do it all over again. She states the pay is similiar,...

  9. Vent, called a "stupid nurse",,, again

    Batman24 replied to JohnBearPA's topic in General Nursing

    Key words to use when talking to your DON...hostile working enviroment and lawyer. If she doesn't listen then bring it to your HR or Legal Dept. Use the same key words because they represent exactly...

  10. Nursing School = Divorce???

    Batman24 replied to sherriberry1's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My mother went though nursing school with a hubby and 3 kids and the marriage thrived. I have great parents who are very supportive of one another and I think that's

  11. Perfume Policy?

    Batman24 replied to smileynurseohio's topic in General Nursing

    As someone with terrible allergies I like the idea of banning strong perfumes and body lotions. Deodorant however needs to remain in place.

  12. Things I'm losing it over

    Batman24 replied to Indy's topic in General Nursing

    I'm doing my pre-reqs, but I will admit that I would prob be afraid to say something to the doc as well. Your point however is well taken. I needed this reminder so as not to be scared when the time...

  13. Things I'm losing it over

    Batman24 replied to Indy's topic in General Nursing

    That's awful. What excuse did they use to fire her?! Did the nurses ever go to the police or is the animal still free to rape.

  14. NO Pain medicines for my Mom!

    Batman24 replied to Hospice RNCM's topic in General Nursing

    Have you thought about what you are going to do?! I still don't understand how the son can override her doctor. Isn't her physician angry?! Couldn't you as the nurse get in trouble for not giving meds...

  15. Med-error & down n the dumps

    Batman24 replied to Advocate1's topic in General Nursing

    You made a mistake, learned a lesson, and action has been taken. My advice now would be to try and move on at the job and at home. Forgive yourself. No harm was done. What goes around comes around....

  16. NO Pain medicines for my Mom!

    Batman24 replied to Hospice RNCM's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not a nurse yet (doing pre-reqs and entrance exams at present) and this post really disturbs me. Why can't the nurse go to the patient's doctor for a prescription for pain meds?! Wouldn't doctors...

  17. Talk about nosey...sheesh!!

    Batman24 replied to misslo's topic in General Nursing

    Just curious as to why the school would care about a pap smear. It's a great thing for all women to have to protect their own health, but I find it a little bothersome that it is required. Just...

  18. Talk about nosey...sheesh!!

    Batman24 replied to misslo's topic in General Nursing

    I would draw a line through the part asking about your siblings. That info shouldn't be mandatory. It's confidential info and your school has no business knowing about your siblings health. If they...

  19. Talk about nosey...sheesh!!

    Batman24 replied to misslo's topic in General Nursing

    Barring an emergency the only person I would have do my gyno exam is my own personal gyno. You handled it well. Glad you weren't persuaded to do something that made you uncomfortable. If the school...

  20. Glen Beck's hospital experience

    Batman24 replied to emmycRN's topic in Nursing News

    His doctors wanted him to be admitted and he made the choice not to listen to his doctor's advice if he's to be believed. The doc should have been adamant if he wasn't. I'm also a little confused as...

  21. Rude remarks by doc with his own kids

    Batman24 replied to Lorie P.'s topic in General Nursing

    This man isn't setting a good example as a father let alone as a doctor. He was probably trying to make the children laugh, but his joke wasn't just unprofessional it was unkind. If I were in the...

  22. Should I become a CNA before school starts?

    Batman24 replied to pumpkin1984's topic in General Nursing

    My nursing school requires us to become a CNA, HHA or PCA before entering the program. It's a mandatory pre-req. I'm going the HHA route. I've heard mixed reviews, but I plan on working as a HHA while...

  23. Non nursing managers

    Batman24 replied to valair55's topic in General Nursing

    It's really a shame to read that many nurses are working under someone who isn't a nurse. If they want someone to do the scheduling, accounting, etc. that's fine, but then hire an "office manager" and...

  24. Unexcusable

    Batman24 replied to bethin's topic in General Nursing

    What a blessing you were to this man. You should be so proud of yourself. And if anyone has a problem with what you did then it is on them. I would think you would be applauded. You should be. Has...

  25. Calling yourself a "nurse"

    Batman24 replied to Jamie2887's topic in General Nursing

    It's very simple...if you aren't a nurse then don't call yourself one. Period. End of story. And doctors shouldn't allow their employees to pass themselves off as nurses when they aren't. They all...
