  1. Was written up ! I am so upset is there any hope to ever be a RN?

    Batman25 replied to Trekfan's topic in General Nursing

    No, you can't be a RN right now. You need to concentrate on your health first. Pls see a good neuro. I also agree with the above to stop driving before you kill yourself or someone else. I'll be...

  2. Do I have to give my job information about my court hearing?

    Batman25 replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Nursing

    She did give them enough notice to get the day off and it's shameful they didn't just comply. I wouldn't submit a thing and I wouldn't have shared you had a court date either but consider that a...

  3. Does your facility do this?

    Batman25 replied to handyrn's topic in General Nursing

    What they are suggesting is illegal. You are to be paid for all the time you work. If they don't you call the Dept of Labor and report them. It is taken seriously by them. Don't let them get away with...

  4. Privacy rules for reproductive history

    Batman25 replied to GMHarmony's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    The doctor clearly forgot their earlier conversation and I'm really sorry to read that. Shame that her private info wasn't kept that way. I do always tell people if you want to keep your private...

  5. Terminated illegally I believe

    Batman25 replied to MomRN0913's topic in General Nursing

    Typically when terminated your employment ends immediately. There is no notice. Employees often give notice to their employer and not the other way around. Scummy as the situation is with the...

  6. Bitter dried up nurses that need to RETIRE

    Batman25 replied to mindlor's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Be very careful that in your quest to provide good customer service you don't provide bad patient care. That can and does happen. The customer isn't always right when they are the patient and you need...

  8. How important is it for a Charge Nurse to be able to run a code?

    Batman25 replied to Anna Flaxis's topic in General Nursing

    I'd put it at a 10/10. It sounds like in your case the person should have failed. If they put people through that struggle that defeats the whole

  9. My friend was fired - Was she wrong?

    Batman25 replied to ravenshroud's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, she was wrong. It is an offense that is serious enough that it could lead to a firing. Did it have to? Not necessarily. They could have written her up or suspended her. I would like to know how...

  10. Patient rights v. Clinical instructor?

    Batman25 replied to studentnurse0383's topic in General Nursing

    Your instructor is dead wrong here. If they say no and you proceed to touch them that is legal battery. They could press charges. You educate, document refusal, and move on. On a side note you don't...

  11. So Sick of Pushy Patients and Verbal Abuse

    Batman25 replied to applesRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    It pretty much sums up all the is wrong with our system in so many hospitals. They wouldn't have gotten the milkshake in mine. The surgeons would have said they can sign out AMA and have their...

  12. Patient complaint filed

    Batman25 replied to ladytopaz56's topic in General Nursing

  13. Ever experience a patient's family member grieving in an odd way?

    Batman25 replied to shhhh's topic in General Nursing

    Just to echo so many others in this thread pls let the woman hold her husband. The man is dying. Let her enjoy the end of his life as much as she can. Let her be in peace and find some closure. She...

  14. My horrible hospital stay. What would you do?

    Batman25 replied to Carebear77's topic in General Nursing

    Call your surgeon RIGHT NOW. Always listen to your instincts. It does sound like an infection and you would know. Pls give them a ring and see what they say. You can deal with the bad stay at a later...

    Batman25 replied to sasha2lady's topic in General Nursing

  17. HIPAA VIOLATION

    Batman25 replied to bc808's topic in HIPAA Challenges

  19. How do you politely walk away or say no?

    Batman25 replied to Buggus's topic in General Nursing

    It's true that it is all about boundaries. It can be hard to set them early in your career but it is imperative that you learn to do it. It's not mean to tell them you have other patients to care for....

  21. Supervisor upset because I have another job!

    Batman25 replied to BABYJADE06's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    No, you shouldn't use this woman as a reference again. She told you not to so there's your answer. Listen to her. Perhaps another supervisor would be willing to give you a written recommendation. That...

  22. Assulted on the job

    Batman25 replied to Vedder316's topic in General Nursing

    Start filling out incident reports for every single infraction. You need to have a paper trail here because they will ignore it as long as they can when still on a verbal level. Paperowrk puts them on...

  23. First time vaccinating 11 yr old, help?

    Batman25 replied to maisyLPN's topic in General Nursing

    I've always found thigh shots to really hurt. She might also have to pull down pants for that depending on what she is wearing and that age can be very shy. Every Gardasil shot I've known to have been...
