  1. Threatened by Patient Family

    Batman24 replied to Susan9608's topic in General Nursing

    Definitely. I am really curious to see how this turns

  2. Threatened by Patient Family

    Batman24 replied to Susan9608's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with the above to call risk management and put exactly what happened in writing to them. I would also make HR aware and start a paper trail. If you don't want to return that is one option. If...

  3. Court-ordered eval-Can the BON suspend or revoke my license?

    Batman24 replied to JanWrotenRN's topic in General Nursing

    Get a lawyer NOW. For a relatively small amount of money they should be able to pull your driving records and prove you have never had a DUI. The lawyer will advise you how to proceed. Do nothing...

  4. you know you are in for trouble when.....

    Batman24 replied to ktwlpn's topic in General Nursing

    When before you can even smile and introduce yourself they cut you off and start whining and moaning. Let me at least fully enter the room

  5. Opinions on scripting

    Batman24 replied to country mom's topic in General Nursing

    We don't have it and I wouldn't say it even if we did. I'm an educated professional that wants to treat my patients like individuals not robots. And if they didn't think I was capable of taking care...

  6. Medication Aide

    Batman24 replied to ohiocleveland's topic in General Nursing

    No, I wouldn't let a MA pass meds under my

  7. Allowing Family members to watch loved ones be resuscitated in the ER

    Batman24 replied to gt4everpn's topic in General Nursing

    They allow it in my ER. Not all families do it because it is a very personal thing. They let the families know that whatever they choose to do is the right decision. They also have someone with the...

  8. Written Up...

    Batman24 replied to Okami_CCRN's topic in General Nursing

    Are you sure you were written up?! It sounds like the meeting is being called to clear the air. If you were written up I would NEVER sign something I didn't agree with. They could bully me to the cows...

  9. Male Nurse Demand?

    Batman24 replied to techraider77's topic in Men in Nursing

    We are on a hiring freeze right now so male or female really wouldn't make a tad of difference. I feel terrible for new grads and anyone currently out of work. Depending on where you live it can be...

  10. Dog walker?

    Batman24 replied to yetanotheramanda's topic in General Nursing

    I would have patient start to take dog out during the day and have family members pitch in when it's really busy too. Perhaps someone could take the dog for a quick walk around 11pm or midnight before...

  11. Evil secretaries from hell...Do you know one as well?

    Batman24 replied to Gr8Dane's topic in General Nursing

    Asking for her chair when she's not even punched in and working is absurd. I'm lucky because the US I work with are

  12. Sending out an S.O.S

    Batman24 replied to nessajune21's topic in General Nursing

    I would take the OR position if that is what will make you happiest. If your heart says take the job in OR and you will regret not doing so let your manager know and be sure to give appropriate...

  13. which shift do you prefer 3-11 or 11-7?

    Batman24 replied to changeofpaceRN's topic in General Nursing

    I'd take 3-11. No doubt about it. I think it's less disruptive to life on the whole as you to still sleep through the night like most others. You also have the mornings and afternoons open without...

  14. Parents controlling an adult child with chronic/progressive disease

    Batman24 replied to Magsulfate's topic in General Nursing

    Is she actively dying at present or is it a condition that will just have her continue to deteriorate?! Would you say she has months, a year, etc. left to live?! I fear that when she's at home they...

  15. Parents controlling an adult child with chronic/progressive disease

    Batman24 replied to Magsulfate's topic in General Nursing

    Does she get 24/7 home health care or do her parents do all of it?! Just

  16. URGENT! prolapsed uterus or bladder?

    Batman24 replied to rnto?'s topic in General Nursing

    That poor thing. Why wouldn't they allow you to do the surgery?! I'm sure the woman would have wanted it. No one wants their goods hanging outside their body. So

  17. Parents controlling an adult child with chronic/progressive disease

    Batman24 replied to Magsulfate's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sorry your daughter isn't well, Cindy. I'll keep all of you in my thoughts and prayers. The way you handle it is the way we all wish it was handled each and every time. These stories always kill...

  18. Parents controlling an adult child with chronic/progressive disease

    Batman24 replied to Magsulfate's topic in General Nursing

    You can't get in trouble here. You gave a drug ordered by the MD when the patient said they had pain. The parents have NO say if they don't have POA. If the patient is of sound mind and says they have...

  19. Parents controlling an adult child with chronic/progressive disease

    Batman24 replied to Magsulfate's topic in General Nursing

    God bless those doctors. We need more like that. And God bless the nurses who also advocate for their patients at times when they need it

  20. "Your patient in 520 is in pain!"

    Batman24 replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    Some patients try and take advantage of whoever they can. These are the ones who know they are at their pain med limit and know it's been discussed with the doc and no more drugs are coming until they...

  21. URGENT! prolapsed uterus or bladder?

    Batman24 replied to rnto?'s topic in General Nursing

    I wouldn't do it without someone knowing what they are doing there to instruct and show you what to do. Have the doctor come in especially as you don't even know what is out. Don't be bullied into...

  22. Can a RN fill a CNA slot?

    Batman24 replied to SkySoldier's topic in General Nursing

    I wouldn't go this route. Have you checked work in clinics, doctor's offices, schools, LTC, etc.?! I would go that route

  23. SO ANGRY...help!!!

    Batman24 replied to ac123's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    It's not illegal but I do think it's unethical on her part. Remove her as a reference in the future. I also always try to get letter of recommendation so I have a hard copy and have some control as...

  24. The 10 REAL Reasons Men Don't Go to the Doctor

    Batman24 replied to Anxious Patient's topic in Men in Nursing

    I don't think she had ill intentions and I don't think her purpose was to offend but as a woman I didn't care for her language. I think she was trying to be funny but balls and butt really had no...

  25. How far can a patient go?

    Batman24 replied to junebride's topic in General Nursing

    If a patient of sound mind threatens or hits me I call the police. That is a police issue not a hospital one. All healthcare workers should do the same. Our job doesn't include threats and physical...
