  1. need some advise regarding workplace harassment

    Batman25 replied to hardware syndrome's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    It sounds like retribution. Get your union rep involved ASAP. Start a log as well for your own benefit in regards to any convos like this one, writeups,

  2. People in healthcare should speak Spanish, she said

    Batman25 replied to Paulie G's topic in General Nursing

    If someone in America chooses not to learn English that is their choice. They shouldn't expect people to learn their native tongue as that is our choice. Typically family will translate or we can get...

  3. Can anyone recommend a Home Health Agency in Del Ray Beach FL or surrounding area?

    Batman25 posted a topic in General Nursing

    Thank you to anyone who has a recommendation. Very appreciated. It's for a relative in

  4. getting "gifts" from patient every other day

    Batman25 replied to Blackheartednurse's topic in General Nursing

    I would absolutely take the baked goods. We get them all the time on the floor so I see no harm in that. I don't have much issue with the used books either but you could borrow and return them after...

  5. frustrating doctors

    Batman25 replied to almostdoneyah!'s topic in General Nursing

    If the OR NM is afraid to stand up to doctors she needs to find another job. She's a danger not just to her staff but more importantly to all the patients. It would be a cold day in hell I wouldn't...

  6. should I talk to HR?

    Batman25 replied to raygun354's topic in General Nursing

    Have you already signed everything? Even if you have you could still ask to re-visit the issue but you will have more leeway if you haven't signed on. If they state they won't raie it now ask if it...

  7. "Good for nothing student"

    Batman25 replied to Sarah010101's topic in General Nursing

    This one statement leads me to believe she's not just short with students but with patients as well. It's about her not you. She has a bad attitude. I'm sure you bought the patient some

  8. Networked with Former Classmate, Got Per Diem Job, and Now She's Ignoring Me

    Batman25 replied to live&love&heal's topic in General Nursing

    I'd definitely call and ask if there were shifts open. I'd also ask her about FB. It could be because she wants to avoid the appearance of favortism which I can understand. That doesn't mean you still...

  9. Night/Hospital gowns with side slits ???

    Batman25 replied to Trekfan's topic in General Nursing

    That's a really good idea. It shouldn't cost too much and you can still wear your fave

  10. Older nurses taking forever to computer chart

    Batman25 replied to Giga's topic in General Nursing

    I'd urge you to tread carefully, OP. You are a very new nurse and one who lacks any long-term experience at present. You might feel very sure of yourself right now but you still have a lot to learn....

  11. Not paid overtime

    Batman25 replied to raebabelvn's topic in General Nursing

    RNs typically aren't paid O/T for working 12 hour shifts. Our O/T starts after 36 hours. If you aren't a salaried employee your O/T starts at 40 hours. The work week should be outlined at your job....

  12. is this considered a fraud?

    Batman25 replied to Ms.RN's topic in General Nursing

    If you have questions go drectly ro HR and let them look into the issue. If there is a prob they will rectify it at

  13. I should probably let this go but...

    Batman25 replied to agldragonRN's topic in General Nursing

    Horrible way to treat someone who went above and beyond. If you felt you couldn't safely take over their care you should always decline the assignment. Better to lose your job than your license. I...

  14. Have you been accused of being more of a CNA, then a RN.

    Batman25 replied to ANNIENURSEANGEL's topic in General Nursing

    As a RN you need to do all the duties the CNAs can't do. You need to be able to prioritize and delegate. There are plenty of times I help with CNA duties and plenty of times we do a bath together. We...

  15. enemas and nurses

    Batman25 replied to makes needs known's topic in General Nursing

    We do all enemas so I have no issue with that being done here as well. Enemas should be done by the nurses. I do however agree that in some instances things are taken away from CNAs or other...

  16. Sleeping on the job

    Batman25 replied to mairose15's topic in General Nursing

    You sound like a very nice and very caring nurse and person. While I can understand why you feel sad about reporting her you need to do it as patients are suffering. It's now a problem. Let your...

    Batman25 replied to spacy224's topic in General Nursing

  20. Handling chauvinistic male charge nurse

    Batman25 replied to pedicurn's topic in General Nursing

    Female nurses and management can be just as unprofessional, immature, cocky, and inappropriate. This type of behavior isn't reserved for one sex or the other. It has more to do with the person...

  21. Handling chauvinistic male charge nurse

    Batman25 replied to pedicurn's topic in General Nursing

    Don't resort to the same game playing her does or the childish antics he has decided to adopt as a manager. When people resort to these behaviors you have to keep in mind this is about them and their...

  22. Ethical Issue -Missing Prescriptions

    Batman25 replied to FranEMTnurse's topic in General Nursing

    I wanted to extend my apologies as well. I'm glad you can pick up a partial on Monday. I hope that helps with the pain. I have a mother with chronic pain issues and it's just awful to see her or...

  23. asking for meds?

    Batman25 replied to backatit2's topic in General Nursing

    If you weren't being assessed for pain on an ongoing basis post-op you should have been. When being assessed if you stated you were still in pain the PRN drugs should have been given as long as they...

  24. Nurse with Body Odor

    Batman25 replied to prettyinblu's topic in General Nursing

    I would never go the note route and I would rather be told directly via a co-worker then know someone complained about it to management versus coming to me directly but that's me. Simply go to them...

    Batman25 replied to RevolutioN2013's topic in General Nursing
