  1. Current Boss Sabotaged Nursing School app.

    Batman24 replied to ishootu's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with annod81. I followed up on my application to be sure everything was received as things can get lost in mail, misplaced, etc. It's imperative to do so in a timely manner so situations like...

  2. child violated at daycare (by child) what would you do?

    Batman24 replied to randomperson's topic in General Nursing

    You explained it to your son and gave him instructions how to handle it in the future. If he seems to understand and accept that I would wait and see how he does over the next few days. Children are...

  3. NY Mandatory Overtime Bill questions

    Batman24 replied to metfan's topic in General Nursing

    I'd get out of there. This doesn't sound like it happens once in a while but on regular and long-term basis. You're putting your license at risk and more importantly the patients at risk. Get

  4. RN's, what would you like to see from Student Nurses?

    Batman24 replied to wants2BRN's topic in General Nursing

    You shouldn't be afraid. There are many great students and many awesome nurses out there. Be respectful and try to help when you can. Bathing, toileting, etc. can be such a help to nurses. Know that...

  5. RNs / Student nurses slapped in the face

    Batman24 replied to sofia*26's topic in General Nursing

    We all have the right to work in a safe environment and to be protected against violence. There is a vast difference between someone not of sound mind and someone rude and angry looking to be abusive....

  6. clinicals, why are the nurses such *******.

    Batman24 replied to lesliedabbs's topic in General Students

    Students make it harder not easier on the nurses. Once you are a RN you will experience more how they feel and see this in a totally new light. Many students feel like you do and understand better in...

  7. Patient called me Chubby... LOL

    Batman24 replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Nursing

    That's rude and unkind. There is no problem with you politely and firmly telling them they are not allowed to call you names. It's mean and

  8. "If you sit down and chart for more than 15 minutes, that's considered a break"

    Batman24 replied to JomoNurse's topic in General Nursing

    Exactly. I don't think they will put it in writing because they know it's illegal but if some dumbass does it I would bring it to the Dept of Labor pronto. They'd be royally screwed. And know that if...

  9. "If you sit down and chart for more than 15 minutes, that's considered a break"

    Batman24 replied to JomoNurse's topic in General Nursing

    Again, absolutely right. The only way to take on people who behave in this way is to stand up for yourselves and fight fire with fire. I would be on the horn with all mentioned Monday morning and tell...

  10. "If you sit down and chart for more than 15 minutes, that's considered a break"

    Batman24 replied to JomoNurse's topic in General Nursing

    Absolutely right. You and all the other nurses should ban together on this. They are bullying all of you because they think they can and don't think any of you have the backbome to defend yourselves....

  11. Speaking of sitting and charting

    Batman24 replied to NotFlo's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think you are being petty at all. I do think you and the other nurse should assert yourself here anc claim that chair and the space to chart. I se nothing wrong with you speaking up in this...

  12. Mad and confused!

    Batman24 replied to Sparrowhawk's topic in General Nursing

    You''ve gotten great advice from others and I'm glad you will be taking this further on Monday. To be clear you haven't been fired because when you are fired you don't get to finish out the month. She...

  13. Mandated Reporter

    Batman24 replied to Wife of Spinner's topic in General Nursing

    I would talk directly to the children and get more info before reporting but I would talk to them ASAP so if abuse is taking place it doesn't happen one more

  14. How do you tell someone they smell bad?

    Batman24 replied to Virgo_RN's topic in General Nursing

    I would tell her versus bringing it up to her preceptor or instructor in this instance. It's already embarassing enough and if the instructor says, "Nurses mentioned an odor..." that will be even more...

  15. Diapers or incopad for incontinence???

    Batman24 replied to black angel's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with those saying they should be referred to as briefs with patients and their families. Diapers can be degrading. I also agree why pads should be used instead due to all the reasons listed so...

  16. Male Nurses

    Batman24 replied to Keptonkurtis's topic in General Nursing

    Being a nurse has nothing to do with your genitalia. Your friends are immature as there is nothing gay about wanting to get an education, contribute to society, have a career, make a good living, and...

  17. Has Anyone Ever USED Their Malpractice Insurance?

    Batman24 replied to pagandeva2000's topic in General Nursing

    Absolutely right. PLEASE get your own malpractice insurance and don't even let your employer or anyone know you have it unless you absolutely need to do so to protect yourself down the

  18. Has Anyone Ever USED Their Malpractice Insurance?

    Batman24 replied to pagandeva2000's topic in General Nursing

    LOL!! I forgot to answer you and went back and edited

  19. Has Anyone Ever USED Their Malpractice Insurance?

    Batman24 replied to pagandeva2000's topic in General Nursing

    I never share the fact that I have malpractice insurance either. No one should. Get it to protect yourself and keep it quiet. The reason behind this is that if they find out you have insurance often...

  20. Has Anyone Ever USED Their Malpractice Insurance?

    Batman24 replied to pagandeva2000's topic in General Nursing

    That's what they say but it isn't necessarily true. You need your own policy because it protects you and your best interests. Your best interests and the hospital's best interests might not be one and...

  21. Things You'd Like To Tell Visitors . . . . and get away with it

    Batman24 replied to Ruby Vee's topic in General Nursing

    Your family is in the hospital because they are sick. Stop walking them up, stop pulling on their equipment, turn down the tv and lower your voices. And stop eating in front of them knowing they can't...

  22. Scandal...I may have my license revoked? help

    Batman24 replied to enmack's topic in General Nursing

    I'm a little lost too. It sounds like you did your job. If the surgeon is mad about the Lovenox you didn't give it so why would that be on you?! And you really need to put your foot down and let them...

  23. Do I have to take off my clothes?

    Batman24 replied to Yossy's topic in General Students

    I'm proud of you. You spokeup for something that didn't feel right and had the process changed. I also applaud your instructor for seeing your POV and doing something about it.

  24. Do I have to take off my clothes?

    Batman24 replied to Yossy's topic in General Students

    We used dummies to practice. Doing work on each other often opens the school to big liability issues. If there are no dummies doing it in bathing suits and shorts isn't too horrible. I would have done...

  25. Scandal...I may have my license revoked? help

    Batman24 replied to enmack's topic in General Nursing

    I agree. The person directly involved in this situation is in no position to be one of the people judging you. It's a huge conflict of interest. Asking them to be removed is good advice so pls take...
