  2. What would you do?

    Batman25 replied to missladyrn's topic in General Nursing

    The answer is simple...decline. You want and signed up for 30 hours and got it. That suits your commute and lifestyle. Don't be pressured into doing something that doesn't make you happy. If she has...

  5. A patient's experience with RUDE nursing staff.. Should this be reported?

    Batman25 replied to digoe74's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I doubt it was actual nurses either. Most clinics rarely have them anymore and if they do it certainly wouldn't be a bunch of them. Often they have one. Doesn't however make it professional or kind...

  6. undeserved promotion?

    Batman25 replied to rn865's topic in General Nursing

    Of course the doc would promote you over the MA. You have the most education and training that is beneficial to his office. Be proud of the promotion and don't feed into an

  7. How do you address your patients?

    Batman25 replied to kool-aide, RN's topic in General Nursing

    I ask how they'd like to be addressed and proceed as advised. Typically it is by their first name. Whatever makes them happy and comfortable is fine by me. One patient asked me if I would call him...

  8. offended co worker

    Batman25 replied to frost99's topic in General Nursing

    You gave a sincere apology and if he can't move on that's on him. Don't give it another

  9. reamed out for using soft wrist restraints

    Batman25 replied to newnurse012's topic in General Nursing

    Excellent post. We always try and see if other measures will help before restraints especially in an already very anxious person. Sometimes a little med goes a long way here to ease the anxiety and...

  10. Nurse chatting/dating patient

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

    Yes, it does. Your answer was short and sweet and completely spot

  11. Need help to convince parents!

    Batman25 replied to NateH's topic in General Nursing

    As you are so young and it seems your parents are willing to pay/help with a BSN I would go that route. Go off o school and get an education and have some fun. They will be some of the best years of...

  12. What to expect as a RN Nurse Supervisor role with no nursing exp.?

    Batman25 replied to hnt1987's topic in General Nursing

    My first thought is that they are desperate and my second thought then goes to why are they desperate. That isn't a knock to you but they hired a RN with no RN experience. They didn't even maintain...

  13. Mandatory Overtime-- what do you think?

    Batman25 replied to pawsomepooch47's topic in General Nursing

    You should check with your Dept of Labor and see what your state laws are regarding nurses and O/T. The BON could help you as well. Some states have set criteria that needs to be met before mandatory...

  14. Patients refusing assessments

    Batman25 replied to rkitty198's topic in General Nursing

    I never even thought about her injecting drugs via the labia. I also didn't think that maybe they were hidden down below either. Interesting and either of these could explain

  15. Patients refusing assessments

    Batman25 replied to rkitty198's topic in General Nursing

    Sounds like she has a massive drug prob so she still might not be totally in the right frame of mind. Does she seem embarassed when you ask about the blister? Does she flinch during exams? Could be an...

  16. Medicaid reimbursement and patient satisfaction scores

    Batman25 replied to RN-ing's topic in General Nursing

    It's a ridiculous and insane system. How utterly absurd. People can give low scores because they are ticked they couldn't eat or drink for their own good, had to cough for their own good, had to walk...

  17. Is it okay for a CNA to call herself a nurse?

    Batman25 replied to Mrs. SnowStormRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Correct. You've outlined it well. The test for a CNA is also called a "licensing exam" but they are indeed certified. I can understand why people get

  18. Is it okay for a CNA to call herself a nurse?

    Batman25 replied to Mrs. SnowStormRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    They are smart to do so because individual charges aside it puts the hospital at great risk if someone doesn't identify themselves properly to patients. They have the legal right to know the title of...

  19. Is it okay for a CNA to call herself a nurse?

    Batman25 replied to Mrs. SnowStormRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Correct. If you didn't take and pass the boards to become licensed you aren't a LPN or RN. Period. It is also a huge liability to a hospital, etc. for employees to represent themselves as nurses if...

  20. do you put patient teaching in a nurses note?

    Batman25 replied to JM RN's topic in General Nursing

    Absolutely.

  21. An upset elderly patient...

    Batman25 replied to caregiver1977's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    The doctor is being a big baby. I in no way condone abuse but your aunt wasn't abusive in the least. She was upset and you need to give some leeway in a situation like this one. She responded in a...

  22. Demerol 75 mg was given IV instead of IM. Fired!!!

    Batman25 replied to mirtesen's topic in General Nursing

    You mention you were called to the office a few times prior to the error. How many times and why? Were you written up and how many times? A few times into management office in 7 months prior to an...

  23. What kind of snacks can I get for the nurses at the floor where I had my clinicals?

    Batman25 replied to onlyj's topic in General Nursing

    I really like the pasta salad and cucumber sandwich ideas. Mini meat pies would be yummy too. People tend to bring sweet so a few savory things would be so

  24. Nurse suicide follows infant tragedy

    Batman25 replied to babyNP.'s topic in Nursing News

    This poor woman dedicated more than half of her life to nursing. She worked with babies and children the entire time for the same employer. 27 years she dedicated to her profession, employer, and the...
