  1. I always take help for inserting IV

    Batman25 replied to newsupernurse's topic in General Nursing

    Batman25 replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Nursing

    Batman25 replied to Caffeine_IV's topic in General Nursing

  7. Cna challenge lpn boards

    Batman25 replied to marineswife0809's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    That's frightening. A CNA should have to go to nursing school and then sit for the boards just like the LPNS that are educated and trained had to do. What is Cali thinking? They are putting patients...

  8. Nurses obtaining blood consent

    Batman25 replied to Zee_RN's topic in General Nursing

  11. Insensitive nurses

    Batman25 replied to MHSA LPN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I've never seen a nurse say anything like that to a patient. We'd be fired on the spot and rightfully so. I'm glad you did something and as you are a student I especially commend you for not being too...

  12. Waste of Time Complaint against me

    Batman25 replied to abbaking's topic in General Nursing

    I really think you should start looking for another job. I don't think you are long for this one and it is best to leave on your own terms. Dust off the resume and see what's out there. Reading...

  13. Waste of Time Complaint against me

    Batman25 replied to abbaking's topic in General Nursing

    People that make complaints like this need more work. They don't have enough to do or are neglecting the work they have. Instead of looking for trouble go in and chat with your patients. Most of us...

    Batman25 replied to abbaking's topic in General Nursing

  16. protocol to challenge board to become RN

    Batman25 replied to 1966nurse's topic in General Nursing

    Batman25 replied to mappers's topic in General Nursing

  20. Pain Scale

    Batman25 replied to makes needs known's topic in General Nursing

    We use a scale of 1-10. I like that patients when they are capable can tell us the pain level they feel they are experiencing. People have different tolerances to pain and I am mindful of that. I also...
