  1. 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

    Baked tortilla chips and salsa. Bean dip could be nice for some protein. Chips and salsa is often a big hit. Hummus and pitas chips could be fun too. Veggie and dip is nice as well. Truth is people...

  2. is it wrong to sit on a patients bed?

    Batman25 replied to LPNweezy's topic in General Nursing

    I've done it as well. It seems more human than standing over them when they are upset, need a comforting word, instructions will take a bit, etc. This is my fave time with patients. I wish we could...

  3. Vacation time being denied

    Batman25 replied to krenee's topic in General Nursing

    I'd go this route. It doesn't hurt to try. If they deny it I would look for another job before you go away. Maybe something even better comes

  4. Please help me, I'm in trouble.

    Batman25 replied to ShellyRn1117's topic in General Nursing

    Pls be careful what you share here, Shelley especially if you feel your former employee is reading your posts. Just trying to look out for you. If you are going to proceed with any action against...

  5. falsifying medical records

    Batman25 replied to deLadyPanther's topic in General Nursing

    Good for you for going to Risk Management. You also however need to put this incident in writing and be sure to keep a copy. I'd even send it certified mail return receipt or by email so if anything...

  6. Comments about personal appearance

    Batman25 replied to AOx1's topic in General Nursing

    Truth is some people are just miserable and do their best to make others miserable. They'd rather share a hurtful word than a kind one. It's really about them not you. In this case the patient was...

  7. I refuse to be a punching bag - NO MORE ASSAULT

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

    If a patient of sound mind were to hit me I'd call the police. I wouldn't put up with abuse in my personal life and I certainly won't have it in my professional life either. Same goes for families and...

  8. Please help me, I'm in trouble.

    Batman25 replied to ShellyRn1117's topic in General Nursing

    That would be nice. I think many would contribute. And even if people gave a few bucks here and there as they could it would add up rather

  10. Refusing an assignment ?

    Batman25 replied to ShellyRn1117's topic in General Nursing

    Maplractice insurance for nurses really isn't all that expensive. Check into www.nso.com ASAP and pls get yourself some. I pay about a $100 a year and it's worth every penny. This is a prime example...

  11. Please help me, I'm in trouble.

    Batman25 replied to ShellyRn1117's topic in General Nursing

    DO NOT go into that meeting without a lawyer. You need to get one pronto. And this is why nurses should ALWAYS have private insurance of their own. Pls make sure you obtain some before your next

  12. Unethical? Illegal?

    Batman25 replied to canesdukegirl's topic in General Nursing

    Smart to stay out of it. You don't know what is true and what isn't. Not so sure I believe this woman given the kind of person she is. If she ends up getting sued for slander one day she just might...

  13. Malpractice Insurance?

    Batman25 replied to Jmiami's topic in General Nursing

    At my school we were required to have it. I don't know if that is standard or not for most NS these

  14. Malpractice Insurance?

    Batman25 replied to Jmiami's topic in General Nursing

    Don't work a minute without insurance. I pay about a $100 a year through www.nso.com and it's well worth every penny. You need to look out for yourself and protect your license. Also, you don't have...

  15. Dealing with maternal death

    Batman25 replied to Antepartumnurse's topic in Ob/Gyn

    It sounds like the doctor dismissed your concerns which turned out to be valid? Do you think this doctor was negligent in their care? Do you feel all emotion aside that this death was preventable from...

  16. nursing care r/t pregnancy termination

    Batman25 replied to CeilingCat's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Did you read all the info provided in your nursing books? Start there and try and take a little extra time studying it. You could also pick up additional books if need be if this field interests

  17. What constitutes violating a patient rights in surgery?

    Batman25 replied to SMAH's topic in General Nursing

    Seems like you were written up and threatened with termination. I wouldn't have done either here and I certainly wouldn't have reported you to the board. What you said wasn't done in a malicious way...

  18. Help - I am interested in nursing but worried about the level of respect

    Batman25 replied to shining_brighteyess's topic in General Nursing

    I do think there is a lack of knowledge in regards to what nurses actually do and the level of responsibility we have each and every day. I sometimes wonder if people think fairies come in and keep...

  19. informed consent (texas)?

    Batman25 replied to jennifers's topic in General Nursing

    If the surgeon hasn't spoken to the patient directly about he surgery, risks, etc. there is no informed consent. Patient should not be asked to sign under those circumstances. That is a huge liability...

  20. Serious scope of practice concern

    Batman25 replied to newtress's topic in General Nursing

    My biggest concern reading your post is that you are doing the work of 4 people with the salary of 1 person. They are taking advantage of you because they think they can. No human can do all that they...

  21. Medical assistants

    Batman25 replied to JenMarie21's topic in General Nursing

    First off, tell her to NEVER call your daughter's doctor again. That's not her place and completely out of line. I would tell her what she is doing is illegal on many levels regarding the samples....

  22. I Wish I Could Get Away with It...

    Batman25 replied to flashpoint's topic in General Nursing

    If you need to go in that room for assessments, meds, etc. you do it. That's your job. Once you go in if she refuses then you document. Don't set yourself up for a liability issue here. If something...

  23. I Wish I Could Get Away with It...

    Batman25 replied to flashpoint's topic in General Nursing

    She'll only get away with it but for so long. In the end she will pay the price for not knowing the info when she can't pass the boards. I have a big issue with her throwing the pen at you. Tell her...

  24. Does "we will be interviewing more people" mean you won't get a job?

    Batman25 replied to markfish's topic in General Nursing

    That's a commonly used line on interviews. It doesn't mean you didn't get the job. They are being kind and honest in that they have more interviews. It is best they tell you that and give you a...

  25. I notified the wrong family of a death

    Batman25 replied to kcmRN's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sorry. Forgive yourself and move on. The one thing we have in common is we ALL make mistakes. That was very nice of the other family member to come in and hug you. Hang in there. This too shall...
