  1. Problem with an admit and Survey

    Batman25 replied to LegginMF's topic in General Nursing

    The state is coming to further review and she wants staff to alter and change documents and orders?! DON'T DO IT. Falsifying docs is illegal and a good way to lose your license. You can't just leave...

  2. Prision Nursing Questions

    Batman25 replied to WittySarcasm's topic in General Nursing

    Hi. There's a whole forum for Correctional Nursing. I think it will help you. Click on the link provided. :)

  3. how old were you when you realized you weren't going to make real money as a nurse

    Batman25 replied to pilotstudentnurse's topic in General Nursing

    Good post. Grossly underpaid. I put teachers on the list as

  4. how old were you when you realized you weren't going to make real money as a nurse

    Batman25 replied to pilotstudentnurse's topic in General Nursing

    Sure you can. I work in a high income area with a high cost of living (not Cali) and started at $35 with a night and weekend differential. I made great money right from the start. It's still not...

  5. how old were you when you realized you weren't going to make real money as a nurse

    Batman25 replied to pilotstudentnurse's topic in General Nursing

    I make good money as a nurse at $35-$39 an hour on 3/12s. I could make O/T if I wanted or even get another job on my off days but I like killing myself 3 days and having 4 off. I will add that for...

  6. "Did you just take a picture of me?"

    Batman25 replied to Tait's topic in General Nursing

    I would flat out ask. It's an invasion of your privacy as you don't know him, know where he is going to post it, who he sent it to, or what he will do with it. You can do it in a non-accusatory manner...

  7. New RN who may lose her Med Surg job

    Batman25 replied to Epona's topic in General Nursing

    I do think many nursing schools are so heavy on the classroom and woefully light on the clinical aspect. The truth is you need to be able to do these things again and again to get good at it and...

  8. Inhumane Treatments

    Batman25 replied to Tait's topic in General Nursing

    That is horrible. He should have been reported. Unacceptable. This is a good thread because it serves as a reminder to all of us to act in the moment. Sometimes we are so overcome with emotion it is...

  9. Male Nurses

    Batman25 replied to BackfromRetirement's topic in General Nursing

    There are still a woefully small amount of males in nursing. I believe recent starts have females at 93% so there aren't tons of them out there. The fields you mention tend to draw a lot of males. The...

  10. Patient made me feel like low life

    Batman25 replied to FiduciaRN's topic in General Nursing

    Some people just need to take a big glass of STHU and this woman is one of them. Don't give anyone the power to make you feel badly about yourself. This is a statement of her being judgmental and...

  11. Nurse Vs Daughter! Help Me!!!

    Batman25 replied to sasha2lady's topic in General Nursing

    I have a feeling things are going to go very well here for all involved. I'm glad your brother is helping you out. Please keep us posting. Hugs and good

  12. Disciplinary action?? Really?

    Batman25 replied to traumaQN's topic in General Nursing

    I'm so sorry this is happening to you. I'm so happy you are meeting with a lawyer and one that specializes in employment law might be best. I think this is urgent as my guess is their next move will...

  13. screaming doctors....how can we handle them?

    Batman25 replied to KSU-SN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    He keeps doing it because everyone has let him. Has anyone ever told him to take it to a private area, stated they won't discuss the situation until he can be professional and civil, or made a...

  14. NEVER say we are short staffed.

    Batman25 replied to TipitiwichitRN's topic in General Nursing

    I have told many a patient that I was addressing the urgent needs of another patient when they have waited a long time for something. More times than not they understand and usually they can see and...

  15. NEVER say we are short staffed.

    Batman25 replied to TipitiwichitRN's topic in General Nursing

    They don't want patients to really be made aware that there are staffing shortages that could easily be rectified but they are too cheap to address. As long as a lot of lawsuits aren't coming due...

  16. Gave My Notice, Now Told it Wasn't Enough

    Batman25 replied to ChristineN's topic in General Nursing

    Absolutely. Quietly go make a copy if you haven't already. You gave 2 weeks and that's adequate. The way she scheduled really isn't your problem. You could go to your union rep or HR to straighten...

  17. Taking a pay cut to work PRN

    Batman25 replied to fungez's topic in General Nursing

    Ours make $6 more an hour. If you don't need the benefits and can afford to work sporadically it's a nice

  18. Hourly rounding signoff sheet

    Batman25 replied to fungez's topic in General Nursing

    Just another thing that some mindless troll who doesn't even work in the field came up with. It's a waste of time, money, and paper. You document in the chart when you go in the room so this is just...

  19. I can't believe the hootzpah of some people!

    Batman25 replied to ShayRN's topic in General Nursing

    I like the spelling of hootzpah better. It cracks me up just to say it that way.

  20. Disciplinary action?? Really?

    Batman25 replied to traumaQN's topic in General Nursing

    I would call a lawyer immediately. It's serious when someone is going after your livelihood. In the interim sign nothing and don't write a rebuttal because you don't even know what you are rebutting...

  21. Going straight for my RN

    Batman25 replied to Nurse Rodriguez's topic in General Nursing

    Good luck. I'm sure you will do just fine. Often you can take a CNA course through your local community college. That can get you some experience and bring in some money. Community colleges also...

  22. I can't believe the hootzpah of some people!

    Batman25 replied to ShayRN's topic in General Nursing

    Clueless. And unfortunately the atmosphere in some hospitalss has patients and families thinking they can do no wrong and everything should just be done without question. The sense of entitlement out...

  23. Can a doctor write you up or fire you??

    Batman25 replied to Epona's topic in General Nursing

    You did the right thing. It is always better to question before acting if you are unsure. Don't let the doctor intimidate you into not doing the same exact thing in the future as well. She could have...

  24. pregnant and unregular shifts - Mgr won't listen to Dr. recommendations

    Batman25 replied to RNmom08's topic in General Nursing

    I'm glad you are towards the end of your pregnancy and won't have to deal with this crap much longer. Your employer isn't very nice and is fighting semantics with you. Ask doc to specifiy a shift or...

  25. Just interviewed a nurse who *loves* her job

    Batman25 replied to clemmm78's topic in General Nursing

    I love my job too!! People come here to vent and get things off their chest. They know we will understand. It is nice to read about others who are happy and not working is poor conditions. It can be...
