    Write them up and get a paper trail started. Make sure everything is documented in writing. It is harder for management to sweep it under the rug when there is actual paper proof the prob has been...

  2. No wonder we are getting nursing students who are only in it for $

    Batman25 replied to JDougRN's topic in General Nursing

    People work because they need the money. Nurses by and large are no different. If people enter the field and can't pass the entrance exam they won't get any further. If they can't pass clinicals and...

  3. Pt. being forced to sig form or dropped

    Batman25 replied to Hesstx's topic in General Nursing

  5. Patients as customers????

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

    Explaining what you are doing and why and encouraging patients to ask questions is good patient care and an essential part of your job. That's part of what your employer hires you for and pays you to...

  6. Former co-worker reported to BON

    Batman25 replied to SunnyAndrsn's topic in General Nursing

    It was ridiculous that she was reported to the BON. I'm sure they are just thrilled to have to deal with this petty crap. It seems you feel for the nurse and that this was unfair and she was...

  7. Invasive Pre-Employment Physical??

    Batman25 replied to littley's topic in General Nursing

    You had a lady partsl exam as part of your pre-employment physical or were you just using that as an example? I find that invasive as well but that wasn't part of your original commentary. I'd drawn...

  8. Pediatrics: Parents asking not to disclose diagnosis

    Batman25 replied to rant's topic in General Nursing

    Parents might need some time to deal with the devastating news, decide on how to tell the child, get a second opinion, etc. I would honor their request. I do however think if the child needs chemo...

  9. Advice on lice?

    Batman25 replied to MeTheRN's topic in General Nursing

    All good advice. Be sure to wash everything in hot water. You should also have him blow his hair really dry whenever wet and/or after treatment. If he is involved in sports that use helmets make...

  10. Fired because they "can't afford me"...now what?

    Batman25 replied to AngelfireRN's topic in General Nursing

    Your boss had unrealistic expectations given the timeframe. Unfortunately you paid the price for that. I'm sorry you lost your job because regardless of why it's rough. Please go to unemployment...

  11. Help with Major CNA Problems

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

    You need to start a paper trail by writing them up ASAP. Do it as often as needed. Management can ignore the problem right now because there is no paper trial so it just keeps getting pushed under the...

    Batman25 replied to cali_rusk's topic in Ob/Gyn

    You already have your answer. YOU aren't comfortable with it and you're the one who gets to make the final call here not your hubby. If he would be comfortable having his privates looked at in front...

  14. Helpless Visitors

    Batman25 replied to Caffeine_IV's topic in General Nursing

    There is no way in hell I would be helping a 400# visitor to the bathroom. That is a lawsuit waiting to happen. I wouldn't risk my license for it. I also don't check temps, blood pressure, give...

  16. How do you stay sexy in nursing school

    Batman25 replied to 2bnurseforce1's topic in General Students

    Perfumes, etc. are a no no for a reason. That's a good rule and really should be enforced. Ways to stay feminine on the job...sexy undies can be your own little secret, ironed/pressed scrubs always...

    Batman25 replied to rachael222's topic in General Nursing

    He needs to ask his

  18. Do I need Insurance?

    Batman25 replied to Sl1011's topic in General Nursing

    Get your own insurance. It is pretty inexpensive and well worth having. Don't tell patients, employer, etc. that you have it. I wouldn't work a second without

  19. Dr's giving orders at bedside

    Batman25 replied to ohmeowzer RN's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think I'd be signing off on that one either. This is a good example of why verbal orders are a bad idea. I can see it in a code/emergency but other than that we don't do them and I'm grateful...

  20. Paying for priority

    Batman25 replied to HamsterRN's topic in General Nursing

    So if you are rich with a stubbed toe you live or poor with chest pain chances are good you will be dead. Great. Some lawyer will have a field day with the one day. It's only a matter of time....

  22. Question regarding lack of bed bath in ICU

    Batman25 replied to aem31's topic in General Nursing

  23. I'm sure this has been said.. MA's calling themselves Nurses

    Batman25 replied to AprilN's topic in General Nursing

    Saying you are part of nursing staff when asked by a patient is vague. We wear badges with our name and titles so it is clear what our title it but sometimes patients still ask and at that point it is...

  24. If you could create the visitors policy....

    Batman25 replied to happy2learn's topic in General Nursing

    Great ideas, gang. To build on what is here: Please don't visit if you aren't feeling well. The patient is sick enough and doesn't need you hacking up a lung on them. Please leave your infants,...

  25. Things that should be banned in acute care.

    Batman25 replied to november17's topic in General Nursing

    Hard to tell whether you are venting or not. If you aren't I completely disagree. Patients are ill or injured and need care which is sad enough. No need to compound that by punishing them with taking...
