  1. Return to work early after surgery

    Batman25 replied to LittleOneRN's topic in General Nursing

    NO NO NO. Do not go back until your doctor approves it. Your employer should know better than to even

  2. staffing schedules

    Batman25 replied to rectal itch's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think that's going to work. You already have an O/T prob with the 3/12s. This is 44 hours right off the bat before even adding in that no one ever leaves on time. You will have to pay O/T to...

  3. is it just me?

    Batman25 replied to Spritenurse1210's topic in General Nursing

    It's not just you. I have found that often it isn't the patient that is crazy but the family. And I'm not talking about the ones with legit concerns who are also scared to death. I mean the ones who...

  4. i dont wanna be a nurse

    Batman25 replied to guest01/18/17's topic in Nursing Career

    Definitely take the NCLEX. Get your license. You will have more opportunities with it than without it. You would prob be a nice match for legal

  5. Adventures in the McDonald's drive-through...

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

    Always nice to read an uplifting nursing story. Great job!! I pray she and the baby are

  6. Feeling So Defeated

    Batman25 replied to tolerantgirl's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sorry OP that you are having such a tough time. You could try first to be more assertive and see if that works out. STOP inputting orders. TODAY. Not your job anymore. You are the RN not the US....

  7. The "risk my license" game

    Batman25 replied to Orca's topic in General Nursing

    And pls don't work off the clock. You get hurt you aren't covered and if something happens with a patient you also have no liability coverage during that time. I don't care how many facilities and...

  8. The "risk my license" game

    Batman25 replied to Orca's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not aware of this being common and it seems some others aren't either. If this is happening a lot with your staff it is time to pull in the reins. If they aren't willing to do things within their...

  9. Why don't programs take into consideration anything else?

    Batman25 replied to honeycakes55's topic in General Students

    Go take the class this LPN program clearly wants. Also, go take a CNA course. Many are offered through a local community college and take a semester to complete. After you are certified you can work...

  10. Am I Being Unreasonable?

    Batman25 replied to tencat's topic in General Nursing

    You did the right thing. Your safety comes

  11. disorderly person charge and continuing in clinical rotations and nursing school

    Batman25 replied to jrsygirl's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    To the OP...go deal with this straight on. Keep it short and simple. Don't go on and on. Admit what you did and how sorry you are. Ask what steps you need to take to stay in the program. I believe you...

  12. People think you are rich because you are a nurse

    Batman25 replied to chenoaspirit's topic in General Nursing

    My husband and I recently closed the bank too. We were kind but firm about it. It isn't our job to support people living above their means. It felt like we were being penalized for getting educations...

  13. You can only take so much screaming, impatience, and disdain

    Batman25 replied to shiccy's topic in General Nursing

    I like that phrase too and it is so

  14. Gave a patient someone else's unwasted dilaudid

    Batman25 replied to Daliadreamer's topic in General Nursing

    You seem to have a great manager and a staff who really does care about and support you. It seems you are doing a wonderful job and they see that. We all make mistakes and we have to learn from them...

  15. Over it.

    Batman25 replied to NightNurseRN's topic in General Nursing

    Vent away. I hope it felt good. It was a great rant and an accurate one at

  16. Patients Making Up Lies

    Batman25 replied to Honeynurse's topic in General Nursing

    That sounds absurd and hopefully your manager saw it as

  17. Family Members With Nothing Better To Do.

    Batman25 replied to Honeynurse's topic in General Nursing

    A lot of the time the family members are more trouble than the actual patient. I'm not talking about the family memebers with genuine needs or concerns but the ones who come to visit with such an...

  18. Family Members With Nothing Better To Do.

    Batman25 replied to Honeynurse's topic in General Nursing

    The patient can toilet himself and in a case like that you don't help out. You give the patient his privacy. Checking in every hour can be difficult depending on how the day is going. If he didn't...

  19. HIPAA--Mixed up discharge papers

    Batman25 replied to JeanettePNP's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    I'd shred them and move

  20. Patient requesting to use adult briefs during colonoscopy, rather than cath?

    Batman25 replied to Pplexed's topic in General Nursing

    Let the man wear his brief. The doctor shouldn't even take issue with this and if he does he will get over

  21. HIPAA Violation

    Batman25 replied to Deanne448's topic in General Nursing

    I would take the suspension and be glad you weren't fired. The outcome could have been worse for you. Use it as learning experience and in the future take your concerns to

  22. Thank you food from nursing students

    Batman25 replied to noyesno's topic in General Nursing

    I bet they loved it. Very thoughtful. Any treat is a great treat. :) I did like the veggie tray and Mexican dip with tortilla chips someone mentioned. Umm...

  23. One entree per person,please

    Batman25 replied to jmtndl's topic in General Nursing

    Classless but hysterial. I prob would have been a wise guy and ask if they could open the bevergae machine too so we could wash it all down.

  24. Termination

    Batman25 replied to FutureERDoc's topic in General Nursing

    This isn't as good a doctor as you think. They allowed an uneducated and untrained employee to suture a patient. That's unacceptable. The patient is paying for their doctor to suture them not you. Not...

  25. Called into the office, told I'm a slob.

    Batman25 replied to danceswithsnakes's topic in General Nursing

    I have some pounds to lose and I am all boob too. I hope your superiors didn't bring up your breasts because that is completely inappropriate on their part. If you are looking to lose some weight...
