  1. Hooters as Job History...Could this hurt my chances of getting a job?

    Batman25 replied to AMD88's topic in Nursing Career

    Be honest. No, I don't think it will hurt you. I've never been in one but from what I know of Hooters it's pretty girls with cute figures in shorts and tanks. I see less at the beach. lol Good

  2. Anybody else catch this?... Glee Male nurse

    Batman25 replied to wsuRN09's topic in General Nursing

    Everything Sue Sylvester says is offensive. That's the mainstay of her

  3. Nurse Manager Write-Up

    Batman25 replied to Girlygirl69's topic in General Nursing

    You did nothing wrong here. Were you written up or are you fearing one? You should absolutely not be written up

  4. wearing makeup to work?

    Batman25 replied to meghan91's topic in General Nursing

    The only makeup I wear is a pretty pink lip gloss. I also always wear little diamond studs in my ears to have a little sparkle around my face. These two things help me feel a little girlie at work. My...

  5. Has anyone had a pt's family member take pictures of you during care?

    Batman25 replied to TonyaM73's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Good for your manager. It is against our policy as well. Make sure your CN makes Risk Management/hospital lawyers aware. This is a red flag that they might be gearing up for a lawsuit. Make sure the...

  6. To write up or not???

    Batman25 replied to sasha2lady's topic in General Nursing

    The aide not only should have been written up but fired immediately. Inmates don't get to run the asylum where I work. The med tech was also wrong but it sounds like they understand and get it now....

  7. Can I do this to help me insert a Foley?

    Batman25 replied to allthesmallthings's topic in General Nursing

    To echo the others...NO. Don't do it. You will get better in time. Lots of good advice in this thread. Try ones you haven't been utilizing and see what

  8. Ethical? Nursing + commission

    Batman25 replied to PetiteOpRN's topic in General Nursing

    Are the nurses doing the initial consult not the doctors? Why? Is this typical in the plastic surgery business? I've never heard of that before but it isn't my

  9. Ethical? Nursing + commission

    Batman25 replied to PetiteOpRN's topic in General Nursing

    The surgeon will have the final say whether the patient is a good fit for the surgery so you really aren't the be all and end all here. As long as you are honest in your feedback regarding the...

  10. Nurses vs. Paramedics

    Batman25 replied to adwilcox28's topic in General Nursing

    If paramedics want to work in the ER I would think going to become a RN would be a wise move because their rate of pay would be so much higher. They work essentially as CNAs where I live and they make...

  11. nursing home for my father in law?

    Batman25 replied to wrkoutgirl's topic in General Nursing

    I'm starting to face something similiar with my own FIL so I feel your pain. Physically he is going downhill but mentally he is 100%. We are putting rails on his bed and have hired overnight help as...

  12. My mom tells her friend her daughter is a nurse, and....

    Batman25 replied to yat777's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Draw some boundaries. You need to have a frank talk with your mother about your feelings on this matter at once. Until you put an end to it she will continue. You don't have to be rude or...

  13. A Male School Nurse, Omg ! ! !

    Batman25 replied to CaLLaCoDe's topic in General Nursing

    What a wonderful example to all the boys out there that men can be nurses too. It's refreshing to see a man as a school nurse. If they have the education and competency to do the job why not? I'm a...

  14. "She will not die. She does not have that permission from me."

    Batman25 replied to pockunit's topic in General Nursing

    I don't have an issue with this statement in the least. A little humor during a dark time can be a wonderful thing. It sounds like the patient is in caring and competent hands. My prayers go out to...

  15. Nursing staff discouraged now

    Batman25 replied to NurseLatteDNP's topic in General Nursing

    Are their complaints valid? What is being done to address them by

  16. Targeted by psychotic, manipulative patient

    Batman25 replied to HM7380's topic in General Nursing

    If she assaults you again go right to the phone and call the police. If your employer is telling you assault is part of the job you need to look for a new one. They are nuts. In the interim, DO NOT go...

  17. RN assigned as a CNA

    Batman25 replied to myree72's topic in General Nursing

    I wouldn't do it even if paid as a RN which they are required to do. I've always felt this was a liability issue and wouldn't put myself in that kind of

  18. HELP! Social question-over the line?

    Batman25 replied to jlove1821's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I wouldn't advise a professional and personal relationship with this family. If you want t to be friends on the level they stay in your home you shouldn't be providing nursing care to the child in the...

  19. How to tell my clinical manger i need time off for a lumpectomy

    Batman25 replied to nursing assit. 2010's topic in General Nursing

    I agree not to share what the surgery is for. It's not their business. Simply let them know that you need x days off for surgery and can provide a note upon return. I really don't think they will let...

  20. Vent on noncommunication

    Batman25 replied to TonyaM73's topic in General Nursing

    They will continue to do it until you put a stop to it. You can be professional and polite yet firm. Simply pass on the number and tell them it would be best if they spoke to them directly. Once they...

  21. How do the male nurses feel about perineal care?

    Batman25 replied to johnny depp23's topic in General Nursing

    When it comes to peri care I think less of how I feel and more how the patient must feel who needs it. It can be frightening as a student when everything is so new but as time goes on it gets much...

  22. Policy wording for legal labs @ police request

    Batman25 replied to tvccrn's topic in General Nursing

    You need to turn this over to your lawyers/Risk Management. This is on them not you. Your manager should know this. Don't be put on the hok for something you don't have the education and knowledge to...

    Batman25 replied to Paulie G's topic in General Nursing

    Correct. I had more than two years in high school but two years was the minimum to get acceptance into a

  25. Advice, what would you have done in this situation?

    Batman25 replied to squatmunkie_RN's topic in General Nursing

    Good for the CN for writing the CNAs up. She was right to do so here andmust have been good and ticked to do it. Hopefully this was the start of getting them in line. If they don't do as told you and...
