  1. Time Management or Personal Boundaries?

    Batman24 replied to keithjones's topic in General Nursing

    It's easy to be a "good" nurse if you don't do your job, Nurse Hagatha. You however are providing the quality care to your patients that takes time. Don't feel bad. You would have time to help others...

  2. "TIME BACK" vs. Overtime "PAY"

    Batman24 replied to Paws4K9s's topic in General Nursing

    She's still having you do something against hospital policy by not clocking out and I would be very leery of that. Hospital policy trumps what she wants. She is also showing you at the hospital for...

  3. Patients who use alias names - an ethical dilemma

    Batman24 replied to Anxious Patient's topic in General Nursing

    I wouldn't fill in any name. I would provide the care needed, give them the note to return to work so they don't lose their job, and I wouldn't have to commit fraud to do so. Leave the name...

  4. "TIME BACK" vs. Overtime "PAY"

    Batman24 replied to Paws4K9s's topic in General Nursing

    Follow the advice of others and report this ASAP. This is ILLEGAL. Falsifying timecards is ILLEGAL. If you are an hourly employee it is ILLEGAL not to pay O/T. Your employer not to mention YOU could...

  5. 13 year old boy diagnosed Bi polar after 10 minutes?

    Batman24 replied to nckdl's topic in General Nursing

    This is pretty scary. A psychiatrist would make this disagnosis and certainly not after 10 minutes. He could be bi-polar or he could be a moody teen. I would urge the parents to get a second opinion...

  6. Non-Urgent Emergency Patient Payment Responsibilties

    Batman24 replied to EmergencyLoveRN's topic in Emergency

    Agreed. I would call the BON. Ask them to send something in

  7. What's the reason for a RN to be snippy to a new post op pt. ?

    Batman24 replied to momofqc's topic in General Nursing

    She's post-op and pain complaints need to be assessed and addressed. This needs to be followed up with her doctor. If she is still having pain tell her not to be afraid to mention it again to the...

  8. My Husband the nurse!

    Batman24 replied to henryswife's topic in General Nursing

    Going to a community college for an AD to become a RN would be the quickest and cheapest route as this is a 2 year versus 4 year degree. Depending on the courses he has taken chances are good he will...

  9. Everyone has a 4.0 GPA!!

    Batman24 replied to NursingStudent5548's topic in General Nursing

    Excellent advice. Worry about your own grades and passing your own courses and less about

  10. Why does only nursing have to put the patients first?

    Batman24 replied to wooh's topic in General Nursing

    I'm very fortunate because I work with great nurses for great management that backs us at all costs so we don't have to deal with a lot of this crap. And because other departments know we will get...

  11. Reccomend a gender neutral title to replace "Nurse"!

    Batman24 replied to keithjones's topic in General Nursing

    To me a nurse is a nurse regardless of

  12. I was just laid off

    Batman24 replied to SuesquatchRN's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sorry, sweetie. Being laid off totally bites. I agree it's in God's hand now. If He thinks you need the job you just interviewed for you'll get it and if He thinks it's not the right fit you...

  13. What would you have said to this CNA

    Batman24 replied to zofran's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    This called for a write up for insubordination. You need to right this ship at once or be prepared to be walked on continuously by this CNA. Shameful on their

  14. Someone forged my signature!!!

    Batman24 replied to kermitlady's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sorry you are getting grief over doing the right thing. You protected yourself, your license, other nurses and their licenses not to mention the patients. Their anger is misplaced. Hang in

  15. Is this the general opinion?

    Batman24 replied to Bridgette_H's topic in General Nursing

    So not true. I didn't know what I wanted and in fact what I thought I would like I didn't after going through clinicals. Rest easy. You are in the same boat as most other nursing students. You will...

  16. Rude or Reportable? I'd like others opinions...

    Batman24 replied to Irish_Libra's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Gut tells me you might have been set up but furthermore my gut tells me to be glad you got out when you did. You can't win with people like this. Take your excellent nursing skills and experience and...

  17. Please Send Good Vibes my Way!

    Batman24 replied to SuesquatchRN's topic in General Nursing

    Sending prayers, good vibes and good thoughts that you get the job!! I bet you will. You'd be an asset to any

    Batman24 replied to JustaMSBoi's topic in General Nursing

    Do you have the study guide? If you have that and can pass it you will do great. Good

  19. Vacation - We need to find our own replacements

    Batman24 replied to StNeotser's topic in General Nursing

    If you are in a union now is a good time for all of you to call your rep. If you aren't I would first call the Department of Labor and see what they can provide you in writing. I would also make a...

  20. Don't Cry

    Batman24 replied to nessajune21's topic in General Nursing

    They knew you were upset and were trying to comfort you. Sounds like a nice and compassinate doctor and family. Don't lose sleep over this. You did the best you could and the fact that you feel so...

  21. Question about physical and mental form

    Batman24 replied to Tonyapate's topic in General Nursing

    You've never been diagnosed as bi-polar. A NP prescribing these drugs doesn't make it a diagnosis. You should get follow up care. Based on what you've shared you could answer no as there was never a...

  22. Who In The World Gave These Nurses License?This is Madness!

    Batman24 replied to clay07's topic in General Nursing

    Poor nurses and poor babies along with their poor families. They are doing the best they can under dire ciscumstances. To pin this on the nurses or any medical staff is absurd. If you don't have...

  23. working at same hospital as my mom!!!!!

    Batman24 replied to coffee4metech's topic in General Nursing

    You both get along and you won't be reporting to your mom which is key. I see no problem with it. Good luck. Hope you get the job.

  24. in need of advice after getting fired

    Batman24 replied to matt59's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you for saving me the typing. You were attacked and let an f bomb slip and they suspended you?! I would have called the police, filled out an IR, WC forms, etc. and not have said word without a...

  25. What do you think a fair salary would be for a RN?

    Batman24 replied to ohcomeon's topic in General Nursing

    The lucky to have a job mentality is what keeps nurses down. It saddens me to no end that so many in my profession don't see how valuable they truly. We are educated professionals and deserve to be...
