  1. Anyone know what rights we have on a federal level regarding being abused by patients?

    crazin01 replied to TonnyaLPN's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with PP, if there is any type of physical contact to file a report with the police/sheriff whomever resides in your area. If an officer came to take a statement, maybe seeing a cop would make...

  2. Patient Satisfaction: A New Priority

    crazin01 replied to AnnoyedNurse's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    The entitlement attitude is seemingly very popular these days. Until management develops new policy, or starts to enforce those already in place, the problem will remain. I'm sure it's everywhere...

  3. Patient Satisfaction: A New Priority

    crazin01 replied to AnnoyedNurse's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I completely agree, that patient satisfaction has become the priority and that is not the way it should be; but nothing is perfect in real life as it is on paper or in theory. And it gets very old,...

  4. Do you ever want to escape nursing profession?

    crazin01 replied to thida's topic in General Nursing

    A hospital i was at years ago would not excuse your inability to get there, because the security department would pick people up & return them home. I know quite a few staff who chose to stay at...

  5. Gun Owning Nurses

    crazin01 replied to hppygr8ful's topic in General Nursing

    I have been around guns (hunting & self-defense) for as long as I can remember. Not nurse like? That's sorta funny. I'm curious what this colleagues list of "nurse-like" traits looks like....

  6. Census-related cancellations?

    crazin01 replied to AngelRN27's topic in Nurse Management

    I have always seen it done as Ocean stated above. A 3-ring binder at main nursing station. It was up to the nurse being cancelled to ensure it was logged in said binder, so they would not be the...

  7. Could I be sued for neglect or lose my license over this?

    crazin01 replied to Ccinct's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Wow.. I think your license (and I don't know who would sue you, if anything they'd go after the facility) is not in risk of anything. I would make sure you have it documented in the patients...

  8. Why I had reconsidered being a nurse

    crazin01 replied to FutureRNCris's topic in General Nursing

    I imagine there are nurses & folks like this in all walks of life, not just nursing. I've always felt that if someone was not nice/blatantly rude (throwing something on the floor to make you pick...

  9. Double Briefing

    crazin01 replied to CuriousCNA's topic in General Nursing

    The previous posters are absolutely correct here: it's not good nursing care, no matter how short-staffed or hectic the shift may be. I always treated patients like they were a member of my family...

  10. Quitting a job without another lined up

    crazin01 replied to Soliloquy's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not sure if I misunderstood what you posted, but if you know you are definitely going to resume working for the same employer, is there an option for a leave of absence? I imagine all facilities...

  11. What do you think?

    crazin01 replied to petertheparrot's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Heysis said it very well. And having that input from a manager/past manager is so beneficial. Unfortunately, the employer looks at the bottom line, press-ganey scores & finances. Not so much...

  12. HELP! Threats to call BON!

    crazin01 replied to Nechic01's topic in General Nursing

    I think you stated it well in your post "utterly ridiculous. He's mad, cuz you want him out & is just making petty threats to scare you into giving more $$ back. That's my opinion. It may...

  13. Abuse investigation

    crazin01 replied to kdickson1975's topic in General Nursing

    I would think working with this CNA, after making an allegation that warranted interviews/investigation by DON & DOH would be extremely awkward. I am wondering what she observed that she...

  14. Abandonment law in California

    crazin01 replied to donisbac's topic in General Nursing

    I agree that your job is in jeopardy. But, as stated above, you technically never accepted the assignment/patients, so you cannot be accused of patient abandonment. But leaving as you did, is very...

  15. I think I will give negative feedback

    crazin01 replied to Emergent's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I agree that things (religious beliefs, political views, how one feels about the recent 'unisex bathroom' issues) that can be extremely polarizing should be refrained from in the workplace. Even when...

  16. ISNAP & Diverting

    crazin01 replied to sashablue's topic in Nurses Recovery

    TAANA Executive Office - Home I believe there's a link somewhere to search for local attorneys/different specialties

  17. Personal Medical Records

    crazin01 replied to tristanfall's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    wow, talk about poorly understanding a comment (the nurse who made the allegation, not you!) I don't see quite how she made that leap/very big assumption. I've never had experience with this type...

  18. BONUS REVOKED

    crazin01 replied to Southgirl78's topic in General Nursing

    A hospital I used to work at would offer 'bonus time' (2X hourly rate) for extremely desperate situations. And we all knew if you signed up for bonus time, you were the first cancelled for that...

  19. I hurt my back at work and I think my employer is going to fire me. Need career advice.

    crazin01 replied to Amnesty's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Amnesty, I agree with others, who feel while your intentions were not self-centered or out to screw your employer/be paid something for nothing, I could see how managers could take your actions thus...

  20. Getting new patient at shift change

    crazin01 replied to Double Dunker's topic in General Nursing

    I no longer work in an acute hospital setting, but spent about 8 years in such an environment. That said, it was always a battle with the ED to not bring admissions to the unit for 30 minutes before...

  21. No Excuse for Mistake....

    crazin01 replied to Jolie's topic in Nursing News

    Sounds like the mom is contemplating a lawsuit. I recently (August 2016) heard about an outpatient dialysis clinic closing for the day, forgetting the 86-year-old patient inside. Thank goodness her...

  22. Been at Job 9 Mons, Work Suddenly Calls References?

    crazin01 replied to SunnyPupRN's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with otter. I recently started a new position, and the company utilizes a third party to check references and complete all requirements during recruiting process. There were times during...

  23. Do patients get jealous and/or mad at the other patient's visitors

    crazin01 replied to DesiDani's topic in General Nursing

    Interesting question. While I've never had a patient verbalize to me they are somewhat jealous of their roommates family, I'm sure that happens, probably more often than we would think. And then of...

  24. Letters of Explanation HELP!?

    crazin01 replied to mypuppysnores's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I second what DHG said. Accountability for your actions, accepting & dealing with the consequences are key. I don't know if this would help, but is there anybody like (clergy-person, therapist,...

  25. What should one do in this case?

    crazin01 replied to Nursein2017's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I know insurance premiums are somewhat ridiculous but 1K for a damn toothbrush? I'm curious where you read/saw that? Also, if he has only been admitted to that facility once, is there another local...
