  1. Nurses providing good "service"?

    Batman24 replied to SoundofMusic's topic in General Nursing

    We call them patients and it will be a cold day in hell before I call them customers. They are patients in the hospital needing 24 hour care. And while I want everyone to love their meals and the...

  2. Give pt 1 can of beer w/each meal

    Batman24 replied to LPN_2005/RN_10's topic in General Nursing

    This isn't

    Batman24 replied to faline1973's topic in General Nursing

    In the signature line you could write, "See attached note" so they can't pull any crap and have the note disappear. I would however stand firm on not signing it and getting your manager's boss...

    Batman24 replied to faline1973's topic in General Nursing

    And isn't it ironic and telling that good customer service in this case could actually put the patient in danger. Sad that it has come to

    Batman24 replied to faline1973's topic in General Nursing

    I wouldn't sign it either. They could stand on their heads before I did. She had a PCA that wasn't maxed out so you didn't withhold meds...she still had access to them. Did you document well?! Did you...

  6. Why Do Nurses Write: "no new orders received"?

    Batman24 replied to Anxious Patient's topic in General Nursing

    There is nothing wrong with stating no new orders received. It's not a dig at the doctor either. It shows the doctor was called on an issue and the doctor didn't order anything new at that time....

  8. Mad and confused!

    Batman24 replied to Sparrowhawk's topic in General Nursing

    It's so nice when good things happen to good people. Congrats sparrow!! Glad it all worked out. Sounds like the poison has been shipped out.

  9. A serious issue regarding patient care

    Batman24 replied to jon1989's topic in General Nursing

    The CNA might have been helping another incontinent patient and simply had forgotten. Your grandmother should push the button again and not stay in it all night. While we'd all like to think no one...

  10. Just Venting: PCA with an Attitude!

    Batman24 replied to Dottie, RN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I'm glad he got excellent care from the nurses. You should send them a thank you note as well as one to their managers. I can speak from experience that we love that. lol Truly it makes you feel so...

  11. Taking a Pay Cut

    Batman24 replied to scrubbleuffagus08's topic in General Nursing

    I would keep making extra money before school to pay your bills and try to sock some away for when you are in NS. Beign a CNA is nice for the experience but it isn't mandatory to your success as a...

  12. Disgruntled ex-employee

    Batman24 replied to debi49's topic in General Nursing

    You made administration aware and I agree with your decision not to call her back. It could be she sees you as a sympathetic ear and/or went to you because she never did report to you. Whatever the...

  13. I made a doctor mad at me.

    Batman24 replied to arelle68's topic in General Nursing

    Absolutely right. A record of this incident needs to be made in writing. You job and his is to care for the patient. If he doesn't want to be disturbed on weekends then he should find another job. You...

  14. input on meeting with boss requested please!

    Batman24 replied to rnto?'s topic in General Nursing

    Practice before going in. Write down all the points you want to make and get them straight in your head before going into the room. Take your time and you will be

  15. input on meeting with boss requested please!

    Batman24 replied to rnto?'s topic in General Nursing

    I've never heard of only being given a raise on weekday and not weekend hours. I'll be interested to see if anyone else has experienced that. Sounds like a bunch of crap to me. You didn't really get a...

  16. Broken arm and the emergency room

    Batman24 replied to AprilRosedw's topic in General Nursing

    I look at area that patient points out and most times I will go with that area. If however it is the dominant hand and I can do it elsewhere I do and explain

  17. Nursing Nightmare - Whats's the most number of patients you cared for by yourself?

    Batman24 replied to abbaking's topic in General Nursing

    Just curious as to why you accepted assignment. Were you afraid they'd fire you if you didn't? Was it loyalty to the other nurses who worked the shift before you and you knew they were tired? If it...

  18. Need some advice

    Batman24 replied to carlasbizz's topic in General Nursing

    Study. I would try and see if you can get a schedule from your professor in regards to exams. If you know when they are you can schedule work around it and I think that will help work, grades, and...

  19. family plans on suing hospital, i'm nervous as hell.

    Batman24 replied to Wheaties's topic in General Nursing

    This is a prime example of why every nurse should have their own malpractice insurance. You should speak to an attorney ASAP before meeting with the hospital attorney. It's going to cost you more than...

  20. "Fired for NO Reason"

    Batman24 replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    CSEMGR1, Just curious as to how long you have been with your current employer who is pulling this crap. Any issues prior to this or in recent

  21. "Fired for NO Reason"

    Batman24 replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Agreed. What they are doing is illegal. Call an attorney ASAP. You need legal help here. I'll be praying for your sister and BIL to have complete and full recoveries. I'm sorry you were treated this...

  22. Do you ever feel guilty about....

    Batman24 replied to ShayRN's topic in General Nursing

    Interesting that another woman asked you if you felt guilty. Not a slam on her but it seems if women dare to take time for themselves it's a bad thing and we should feel bad about it when the opposite...

  23. family plans on suing hospital, i'm nervous as hell.

    Batman24 replied to Wheaties's topic in General Nursing

    Do you carry your own malpractice insurance?! Might be a good idea to make them aware and get their advice on how to proceed. Keep all your answers short and to the point. Yes and no will suffice in...

  24. Your appointment is only 10 minutes long...

    Batman24 replied to qt2168's topic in General Nursing

    I have seen plenty of NPs and they are excellent for many things. I saw one in the hospital when I broke my foot for them to wrap until I saw an orthopedist, had one presribe meds for bronchitis, etc....

  25. "Twins By Surprise"

    Batman24 replied to krltdy's topic in General Nursing

    I would give birth at home but definitely have prenatal care and a midwife present. No doubt about it. You need help in the event something goes wrong and a midwife is trained in that
