  1. Kaplan NET test math section?

    Batman25 replied to meghan91's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Do you have the NET Study Guide? If yes, and you can pass that you will pass this test. I haven't heard of no scrap paper being used. I took the NLN which is a much harder entrance exam and we were...

  2. LPN must obtain CNA cert to reenter school?

    Batman25 replied to optimist's topic in General Nursing

    My school required a CNA course or HHA course before entrance into the program but that certainly shouldn't be the case for students that are already nurses. I would take this up the ladder. It's a...

  3. Terminated over the phone at night

    Batman25 replied to sweetnurse63's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sorry this was handled in such an unprofessional manner. It was a cop out. Chances are good they had no real reason to let you go and so they took the cowardly way out because they know they have...

  4. snack/food idea for night shift nurses?

    Batman25 replied to miniangel729's topic in General Nursing

    What a nice gesture!! Anything will be appreciated. Just to throw something different out there how about a taco type dip along with some tortilla chips and salsa? That could be

  5. No call No show ?

    Batman25 replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Nursing

    If they try to write you up I wouldn't sign it and make that clear right from the start. This isn't your error. You should suffer ZERO ill consequences. I'd go down swinging on this

  6. No call No show ?

    Batman25 replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Nursing

    If she typically confirms by email and didn't then you should be in the clear. Sounds like she forgot to email you to let you know so it's on

  7. What do you think constitutes insubordination?

    Batman25 replied to Been there,done that's topic in General Nursing

    Good point. You aren't asking them to do something but telling them. It's not a question and shouldn't be phrased as such. Be polite yet firm. Definitely semantics but I do the same as you without...

  8. What do you think constitutes insubordination?

    Batman25 replied to Been there,done that's topic in General Nursing

    That's insubordination. You don't just write it up one time either but EVERY TIME this happens. Also, when patients complain send in your CN to hear it. It's important for them to know this surpasses...

  9. FAILED NCLEX 5 Times please pleasae HELP ME!!!

    Batman25 replied to 7Laquisha's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    How did you do in school? Are you a bad test taker in general? What areas are you having trouble in? You definitely need a review book ASAP. If you are a bad test taker you need to keep testing...

  10. 2nd job drawing blood-will i be held accountable as a RN if something were to happen?

    Batman25 replied to HickoryRN's topic in General Nursing

    Get your own insurance pronto. Don't ever depend on the hospital to back you and/or pay for you. That aren't legally obligated to do so and they could just as easily use you as scapegoat. You don't...

  11. Have you ever had the kind of day

    Batman25 replied to ShayRN's topic in General Nursing

    Yup. lol Hope next shift is a better

  12. Nurse Called Police/CPS on Parents over Jaundice

    Batman25 replied to Simply Complicated's topic in General Nursing

    Not enough info to judge this nurse or the situation at

  13. LTC facility-TAKE DOWN THAT ARTWORK NOW!!!

    Batman25 replied to juzme's topic in General Nursing

    That's idiotic. If it makes the residents happy and proud to display their artwork and see what others have created it should absolutely stay in place. Talk about a waste of time and

  14. false reassurance

    Batman25 replied to psu_213's topic in General Nursing

    What's wrong with that? They might really think it will be okay. Having surgery does come with some risks but many do make it through and recover. I don't find this dismissive at all. It's kind and...

  15. Mandatory Overtime?

    Batman25 replied to ALH2004's topic in General Nursing

    The nurses should ban together here. This can be an unsafe practive especially if on an ongoing basis. It's one thing to do this to help out here and there and quite another when it is mandatory and 3...

  16. Calling residents affectionate names?

    Batman25 replied to LPNweezy's topic in General Nursing

    I admit that I have done this with a few patients here and there. Typically when I know someone is having a really bad day or needs a little lift. It's never done to be offensive and I have never had...

  17. Did any of you NOT take a NCLEX prep course??

    Batman25 replied to Zookeeper44's topic in General Nursing

    I didn't. I do much better reveiwing and studying

  18. so.... what would YOU say?

    Batman25 replied to jollydogg_RN's topic in General Nursing

    I wouldn't have said anything either. It's not worth it. Often when people make comments like this it is because they are insecure with themselves more than mocking other people. You know you are a...

  19. Informed consent dilemma

    Batman25 replied to bc1234's topic in General Nursing

    Agreed. We have to get a hospital approved translator with good

  20. Not scared of the doctors

    Batman25 replied to noyesno's topic in General Nursing

    You shouldn't be afraid. Schools should never make you fearful of calling a doctor. It's part of your job and theirs. Everyone is in it together to help our patients

  21. Combative/Violent patients - NO MORE OF THIS!!!

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

    I'm totally with you on security, the cops, the meds, and restraints. I am not however with you on taking away the tv, phone, and visitors. I don't believe you have the legal right to withhold any of...

  22. Male going into nursing (hopefully)

    Batman25 replied to edwindelahiggins's topic in General Nursing

    I think you will be accepted because you have good grades and do very well in the sciences. That will serve you well. You are also an active CNA so you have experience with baths, toileting, etc....

  23. How to cope when it's one of your own

    Batman25 replied to jnrsmommy's topic in General Nursing

    I'll keep all of you in my thoughts and prayers. Talk about it as needed and don't be afraid to grieve. It's a sad thing to witness especially for a loved one. I will pray for a complete and quick...

  24. Why do some Medstudents love to belittle nurses?

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

    You are giving a few morons on a social networking site too much power, control, and way too much of your time. They wanted to tick you off and they did. Learn while you are young not to give so much...

  25. Hey Rn's,,do you ever wish you had done physical therapy instead?

    Batman25 replied to northmississippi's topic in General Students
