  1. hand written signs

    Batman25 replied to RNOTODAY's topic in Operating Room

    Management should put up a permanent sign up in the bathroom reminding employees of what is expected of them. It's a shame that professionals even need to be told to wipe their pee off of a seat and...

  2. Vent about work

    Batman25 replied to JB2007's topic in General Nursing

    I feel your pain. There just isn't enough staff to get done all that needs and should get done in many facilities. It seems LTC has especially heinous conditions. They just keep taking the money...

  3. Comfort Food After a L o n g Shift

    Batman25 replied to EMSnut45's topic in General Nursing

    Pasta or Mexican food followed by some chocolate.

  4. Workplace violence

    Batman25 replied to CNL2B's topic in General Nursing

    Definitely cease to discuss the matter with this woman and I also wouldn't discuss with other co-workers from here on out

  5. Minor's right to refuse

    Batman25 replied to Mary C's topic in General Nursing

    Just curious...why didn't she want to go on birth control? Was she denying being sexually active? Was it just a power struggle? I hope I'm not prying but it's interesting. She should be grateful her...

  6. Workplace violence

    Batman25 replied to CNL2B's topic in General Nursing

    I'd keep my eyes open and take a wait and see approach. Chances are she will calm down now that she knows she is on the radar. Keep a log and go back to NM if need

  7. hand written signs

    Batman25 replied to RNOTODAY's topic in Operating Room

    I agree with them. People should be wiping their pee off seats and putting their scrubs in the hamper themselves. If people are routinely doing these two things they are slobs and taking advantage....

  8. Would you travel overseas for a medical procedure?!

    Batman25 replied to Blackheartednurse's topic in General Nursing

    I

  9. Dealing with CNA's

    Batman25 replied to miss_c's topic in General Nursing

    Talk to the CNA about this issue. Be polite and kind but firm. Let her know while you are happy she is looking out for the patients best interest in circumstances such as these she should come to the...

  10. Male CNA in NYC

    Batman25 replied to freeman40's topic in General Nursing

    It's not a great economy so take what you can get for now. You can learn in the home health environment and any patient care you do is a plus for later on in your career. Ask for feedback in...

  11. Concerned for new grad in ICU supervisor role

    Batman25 replied to AOx1's topic in General Nursing

    Your concerns are valid. I take even more issue with the hospital because while your friend is in new grad dreamland where she thinks she is invincible the hospital absolutely knows better. She's...

  12. How do you respond to a resident who gets attention by pretending to be in pain?

    Batman25 replied to HoneyDinkley's topic in General Nursing

    You need to check on the patient. Pain is what the patient says it is. You would then advise the nurse of the patient's complaint. You never assume anything i.e. patient is pretending to be in pain....

  13. No prenatal care?!

    Batman25 replied to rrprn's topic in Ob/Gyn

    i'm sos sorry for your

  14. No prenatal care?!

    Batman25 replied to rrprn's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Do you know why they didn't get any prenatal care? Are they very young? Are they currently without insurance? Are they aware there are other options available to them? It could be a good opportunity...

  15. Just curious...Do nurses hate Birth Plans?

    Batman25 replied to chnc1024's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Some of the requests on birth plans are clearly difficult to see through. Stating you will never have a c-section, you don't want staff talking, and you want lights really dim isn't going to go over...

  16. Our new boss writing everyone up!

    Batman25 replied to SoundofMusic's topic in General Nursing

    I'd like to hug your manager. If people can't get themselves to work on time they should be written up. 1-2 minutes is more like 5-10 by the time they are ready to take report. Know who else cares?...

  17. Patient 'found' my number on the internet...

    Batman25 replied to Da_Milk_of_Amnesia's topic in General Nursing

    I do think you should answer the phone and set him straight in a firm but polite way. Sounds like he's desperate more than a danger. No need to go off just say you can't provide any assistance, to pls...

  18. Just curious...Do nurses hate Birth Plans?

    Batman25 replied to chnc1024's topic in Ob/Gyn

    The birth plan is about the patient, the baby, the nurse and the doctor. All are involved and needed to see it through. Many here seem perfectly fine with one that is reasonable. A lot of things...

  19. Where does my responsibility lie? MD at crisis ignores request for orders!!!

    Batman25 replied to GalRN's topic in General Nursing

    Write it up, make administration aware, report him to Board, and definitely make the attorney aware. Sometimes the lawyers/Risk Management are the best to stop this behavior the fastest. This could...

  20. Dog on the floor, what do you think?

    Batman25 replied to mappers's topic in General Nursing

    Dogs should always come in on a leash. Most of the service dogs I've seen are on the larger size. Dogs of all sizes in our hospital come up in the main elevator. I haven't heard of a problem

  21. Dog on the floor, what do you think?

    Batman25 replied to mappers's topic in General Nursing

    There are service dogs for seizures so they aren't lying about that. If it has papers to be a service dog and it appears another nurse checked them it seems this dog is trained to help the patient. Is...

  22. staffing schedules

    Batman25 replied to rectal itch's topic in General Nursing

    Good

  23. was i wrong?

    Batman25 replied to goldc8's topic in General Nursing

    You handled it perfectly. The man was hospitalized so not sure what they are whining about other than liking the sound of their own voices. Hold your head high that you helped a patient in need. Also,...

  24. IV Placement on Deaf Child

    Batman25 replied to nessa_5555's topic in General Nursing

    If the mother is making it known he is deaf and it would be best he didn't get an IV in his hands and his hands not be tied down after surgery as he uses them to communicate she she needs to ask why...

  25. Am I a stalker????!!!

    Batman25 replied to Serrano2886's topic in General Nursing

    Give them a few days to call back now. It is a holiday weekend which can also push things back a bit. I do think they will call you and that they are interested. Be patient now and ride it out. Good...
