  2. What Is An OR Tech?!

    Batman24 posted a topic in Operating Room

    I have seen it mentioned several times on this forum, but I am unaware of what their education and role truly is in the OR. What are they allowed to do?! Are they nurses performing in a different...

  3. Did I keep my composure...too well?

    Batman24 replied to Tait's topic in General Nursing

    You did nothing wrong and handled it well. Please don't spend one more beating yourself up. Make management aware

  4. Hospital Rejects Birth Plans

    Batman24 replied to FocusRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Horrible. The only good thing about it is that they are upfront about it so patients can decide if this is right for them or not. I find it controlling, sad, and horrendous. I hope these women have...

  5. Medical staff rude to my brother;complicated;advice please

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

    You want the staff to medicate for the patient's comfort not your own. Many families do this and it is wrong. It should have been explained to your brother that they were treating the patient's needs...

  8. Do you think this is fair compensation for orientation?

    Batman24 replied to lvnjden4ever, R.N.'s topic in General Nursing

    That's not even minimum wage which is illegal. Ask them to put it in wirting and then report them to the labor board. They will never put it in writing because they know this is something they...

  9. Potential employer wants to talk to CURRENT boss as reference

    Batman24 replied to ajaxgirl's topic in General Nursing

    Say NO. You don't risk yur current job and they should understand that. I've never let them contact my current employer. If they don't it's not the place for you and move on. Good

  10. This morning I sat with a patient as he died

    Batman24 replied to SuesquatchRN's topic in General Nursing

    You're a sweetheart. I truly believe he knew you were there and he was greatly comforted by your kindness and compassion.

  11. I am tired of inconsiderate visitors . . .

    Batman24 replied to Rhee's topic in General Nursing

    I've politely told visitors it would be in the patient's best interest if they visited another day when they were feeling better. Don't come hacking up a lung when a patient is so vulnerable....

  12. Is this common? Would you take this position?

    Batman24 replied to RNgrrl09's topic in General Nursing

    I wouldn' take any job without pay rate, benefits, start date, shift, etc. in

  13. Complain more please! It is just an hour!

    Batman24 replied to Tait's topic in General Nursing

    You should all be paid that hour. You should be paid for every minute you work. Also, for legal purposes you need to be documented as on the clock in the event of a lawsuit or worker's compensation...

  14. All nursing floor - with no nursing assistants???

    Batman24 replied to JSBoston's topic in General Nursing

    The ley to your decision should be how many patients you will have under this system. If it is 3 it's fantasic but more than that I'd be

    Batman24 replied to TreehuggerRN's topic in General Nursing

    My friend's daugher had it and called the school. They said it's so common now they don't even send the letter anymore. My friend was pretty freaked out. We're clean freaks. Blow drying hair seems to...

  17. Dilema with Dr..

    Batman24 replied to bonnie west's topic in General Nursing

    Consider it a lesson learned. You now know not to take a verbal order anymore. We aren't allowed to at my facility due to issues like the one you just had. Best to cover yourself at all times. Don't...

  18. Nurse refuses to give or recieve shift report

    Batman24 replied to dkweaver's topic in General Nursing

    Go back to the nurse manager if this is continuing. Let her know you aren't comfortable not getting a proper report and it puts the patients, your license, and the hospital at risk if imperative info...

  19. CNA went missing....

    Batman24 replied to LuvPedsNrsg's topic in General Nursing

    If they are allowed to disappear the whole day and aren't held accountable for it they will continue to do it. They should have been written up. They would have been fired where I work. It's...

  20. Another male idiot, asking stupid questions.....

    Batman24 replied to wje9516767's topic in General Nursing

    You crack me up. lol Great advice already given...you are a nurse not a male nurse, be neat and clean, DON'T lift more than you should, etc. Let us know what you

  21. Is my nursing agency cheating me from medicaid payments?

    Batman24 replied to PrettyLoyalLPN's topic in General Nursing

    I wouldn't be so quick to accept the lower hourly wage. Holding firm like systoly did could get you the higher wage and buy you some time. Call some other agencies and see what it out

  22. Is my nursing agency cheating me from medicaid payments?

    Batman24 replied to PrettyLoyalLPN's topic in General Nursing

    That's actually excellent advice. Definitely make this call

  23. Is my nursing agency cheating me from medicaid payments?

    Batman24 replied to PrettyLoyalLPN's topic in General Nursing

    I'd make an immediate call the labor board. They have to pay you the hours your worked. I also don't think they can make the change in pay retroactive. Make the call and try and get all the money you...

  24. Anyone overly sensitive that over came it?

    Batman24 replied to Kitty Hawk's topic in General Nursing

    Most of my instructors were pretty good but I think almost all of us have put up with some that were less than kind, constructive, and helpful. I always told myself I just needed to get through x...

  25. Charting for another nurse

    Batman24 replied to mominsd's topic in General Nursing

    You did the right thing. Shame on them. And if some RN comes in and is dumb enough to do it they will learn the hard way when a patient sues and the DON feigns ignorance and says they never said this...
