  1. Nursing school: Bizarre practice in learning to bed bath..

    Batman25 replied to Cat_RN's topic in General Students

    We did it in tanks and shorts. It was fairly quick and we had some fun with it. I thought it was a great task and learning on an actual person who can give feedback, feel cold, exposed, etc. was a...

  2. Over riding a resident?

    Batman25 replied to beeble's topic in General Nursing

    I would never take a chance with chest pain. In the amount of time you took to make calls and have the order changed you could have completed the

  3. patients family photographing your badge?

    Batman25 replied to melgrek's topic in General Nursing

    I didn't think about bar codes either. Definite security risk. Have you notified Risk Management about this issue? They need to know

  4. patients family photographing your badge?

    Batman25 replied to melgrek's topic in General Nursing

    Me either. They can write down my name and title without my

  5. Biting your tongue when it comes to visitors!!

    Batman25 replied to KSU-SN's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you for sharing. I bet your dad loved having you there.

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

    Batman25 replied to AprilN's topic in General Nursing

    We just say that we are the nurse and give our name. Short, sweet, and

  7. Pumping at Work???

    Batman25 replied to Sl1011's topic in General Nursing

    Pump on your lunch and breaks and you should be just fine. Congrats on your new little baby doll. Enjoy them and try not to stress too

  8. Quality Compliance

    Batman25 replied to GreenPolkadot's topic in General Nursing

    I think it's completely unnprofessional and uncalled for. Also, there is really no way to know what nurse or if any nurse is responsibe for the infections. There is nothing positive that comes out of...

  9. Contact Isolation: Do YOU always gown up?

    Batman25 replied to RNDreamer's topic in General Nursing

    Always.

  10. What constitutes falsifying documentation?

    Batman25 replied to physioex's topic in General Nursing

    It's falsification and legitimate reasoning for a firing. Huge

  11. Calling briefs "diapers"....*vent*

    Batman25 replied to cherrybreeze's topic in General Nursing

    TY for sharing this. I'm horrified and hope that it serves as a reminder to anyone who might need one. Asking people to leave the room doesn't have to come with an explanation as to why. It's not the...

  12. I am an American.

    Batman25 replied to UnionRN2's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    The NM should have sat down and educated the doctor and gotten his superior involved as needed. His request potentially puts patients at risk and as a nurse I would have no part in that. I would...

  13. How does the dog handle your 12 hour shifts?

    Batman25 replied to SnowStar4's topic in General Nursing

    Dogs should have water available at all times. DO NOT take their water away for 12-plus hours. It's extremely unhealthy for your dog. I hire a dog walker. They can't, nor should they be asked to...

  14. Calling briefs "diapers"....*vent*

    Batman25 replied to cherrybreeze's topic in General Nursing

    Diapers are for babies and briefs are for those beyond potty training age. I do find using the term diapers disrespectful where some patients are concerned. Being incontinent is bad enough so anything...

  15. Customer Service...........yay or nay?

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

    I'm worried about giving good patient care not customer service. Do I think we should be polite and caring? Absolutely but that isn't where customer service in hospitals is really at for most in...

  16. Did Nursing Supervisor do the right thing?

    Batman25 replied to EtoseLvr03's topic in General Nursing

    What she is asking you to do is illegal. DON'T DO IT. Stand firm on this

  17. Faulted by aides who want help with incontinence care

    Batman25 replied to Calliehoo's topic in General Nursing

    Anyone and everyone should wipe heinies as needed. The question is are they really burdened and do they really need the help OR are they trying to take advantage of you and involved in a power...

  18. Falsifying degree at work....

    Batman25 replied to Twinboys98's topic in General Nursing

    That's what she should do if her Bachelors is in another arena. I admit I was reaching a bit but thought maybe it would explain why she is including the Bachelors although she should still specify the...

  19. Falsifying degree at work....

    Batman25 replied to Twinboys98's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe she has a Bachelors in an unrelated field? The scope is the same as is the board all RNs take so not so sure I'd make an issue of this either way. You can of course opt to report it if it...

  20. Time Off Requests

    Batman25 replied to syrlisa's topic in General Nursing

    Make sure you check your policy so you do everything needed to get that money due you. That is worth fighting for. The handling of this situation is absurd. You should have been given not just the day...

  21. Laid off after 38 years

    Batman25 replied to Ckwil1948's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sorry sweetie. I'm sending prayers and good thoughts your way should you decide to seek legal recourse and/or look for another job.

  22. When doctors don't return calls.....

    Batman25 replied to TheCommuter's topic in General Nursing

    Of course they don't arrest them. That's not why they are sent. They check to be sure the doctor is okay and then make sure they get to the hospital because there is a patient in dire need. I have...

  23. Pediatric examination standards I don't understand

    Batman25 replied to Shuck's topic in Pediatric

    Is it possible that the actual MD (pediatrician) is doing the genital and breast checks during their yearly physical? It wouldn't necessarily be part of the exam needed for a sports physical but...

  24. Help! Insubordinate Nursing Aides

    Batman25 replied to yadda_yadda_yadda's topic in General Nursing

    The inmates are running the asylum and management is letting them. You can't fix this. I feel for the residents. Leave. This place will bring you nothing but continued sorrow and disappointment. I'm...

  25. Signed Contract as a new nurse

    Batman25 replied to dekagirlsRN's topic in General Nursing

    Take the new job as it is in an area that appeals to you more in addition to more money. Do not discuss the contract before being offered and accepting the new job. Not smart. Give notice and make...
