I am so over the hospital. This is not just about the patients it’s administration too. I just want to say “You know what? Do what you want.” I’m tired of giving practical evidence based education. I’m tired of explaining logic to hospital executives and sick people’s 3rd cousin. I don’t want to be mean. I don’t want to tell them to play in traffic. Just go forth from this place and do whatever your heart desires. submitted by /u/VehicleLevel4885 [link] [comments]
It makes no sense to me and feels kinda gross. Some important distinctions in my mind: Clients exchange money with a contractor for a good or service. Patients do not directly compensate nurses. The homeless guy with no insurance does not put a penny into your or your employer's pocket but we still care for him. Contractors may stop working for clients at any time for any reasons. Nurses (and doctors) are morally and legally obligated to care for their patients except when their safety is endangered. Client's are serviced for profit within the confines of law. Patients are cared for within the confines of ethical standards as well as the law. Clients are usually on the same standing as their contractors - both hold equal-ish power in the exchange. Patient's are vulnerable and we protect them from exploitation from ourselves and others. Clients must always provide consent for services. Patients often do not provide explicit consent for care. The service of a client has a well defined be

The most difficult thing on the planet is having to stay quiet on social media or google reviews when you see the public ranting about healthcare. You’ve seen it. “They almost killed (person) because (exhaustive and strayed reasoning)” and it goes on and on. They were never your patient exactly but you’ve had them before and all you can do is grind your teeth and refrain from typing to them that everyone knows better and they don’t have any where to go BUT social media. It’s worse when they ARE your assignment and you actually have someone trying to die, but you have to deal with a story of about how, say, giving a pill cut logitudinal is fatal and latitudinal is the only way to do it because (30 minute anecdotal testimony). /rant submitted by /u/AquilaCrotalusEsox [link] [comments]

I’m currently an oncology rn with over 1.5 years of experience, but I also recently got out of the crisis stabilization unit for admitting to my manager that I am suicidal after a patient passed and my brain was convincing me it was my fault. I spoke to the nurses in the unit who convinced me it wasn’t. And my manager and coworkers did as well. But my brain wasn’t accepting it. I felt better after being discharged for a little bit, but now every little thing is stressing me out and things I used to have confidence in addressing myself are things I’m freaking out about now. Yesterday a patients most recent potassium was 3.5. However out EMR flags it as low. Normal in the EMR is 3.6 to 5.0 for some reason. I asked a coworker to double check orders with me and she mentioned it. “Are they doing anything about the potassium?” And I was like, “I was always told 3.5 is normal” because that’s what I was taught in school. And she was just like “yeah ok.” And signed them. But I started spiraling
This nurse cared enough to report her local sheriff department to APS. When the sheriff claimed no wrong doing, she pushed the issue and fully documented the injuries. The patient, who was in a medical crisis for FIVE DAYS in a holding cell, lost his leg and is now permanently disabled. With the help of her extensive chart documentation, he’s now appropriately suing the sheriffs department. He was never arraigned or convicted of anything, neither. Excellent reminder to maintain accurate and consistent charting. 👍 submitted by /u/No_Knowledge4718 [link] [comments]
For those of us who worked through covid- and still feel the trauma of all that death. All the people we met and then watched die, or held an iPad in front of an intubated face with a sat of 40% and PEEP of 25 while listening to sobs from faces on the other side. Are any of you feeling the creeping sense of the memories and anger while reading the countless posts on SM "Yeah, I saw all your tick tock dances, you liars!". "Empty ICUs, empty hospital parking lots" like we are all collectively making up this huge conspiracy, and we didn't experience constant death. And I didn't hear the guttaral screams as a mother hit the floor while I crushed the chest of her 25 year old son, and the PA told her we had to stop? I know they are morons. They sat at home and listened to other morons tell them what their smooth brains wanted to hear via podcasts, SM, fox news or whatever they could find to placate their 6th grade mindset while we experienced what we did. I remember talking to my husband aft
This may have somehow given an ounce of inspiration in the otherwise trodden down world of being a night shift nurse: A surgeon, of all people, who was trying to get my patient into the OR that night, had to cancel bc of some trauma (idk). So he told her it’s not happening. Great. Now, she hasn’t eaten in two days. I hadn’t addressed that yet. Well, he asked me about it and probably could tell it was pretty low on my priority list (it was shift change)… well, he goes down to the cafe and buys her dinner out of his own pocket and then came back up to the floor and hand delivered it. Wild. Nobody gets how wild that is. I have never ever seen that in my years. Anyway thought I’d share. submitted by /u/Avatar617 [link] [comments]
The nurses at work were reminiscing about the covid years, the volume of deaths, family members, the media, the pressure injuries on their faces from wearing masks, and just the sheer pressure on the healthcare system.

I admitted a patient with stage 4 pancreatic cancer to med Surg for nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain. Fecal impaction was found. So the point was to enema and laxative our way through while controlling nausea and pain. Patient was female and in early 60s. We had a lot of good conversation. She spoke with a Connecticut accent like my mother in law, who I look up to. She carried a strong, don’t-feel-sorry-for-me attitude but it was combined with sarcasm and humor. Her hair was thin from chemo, her face, gaunt. I could see what a vibrant and beautiful person she’s been all her life. I enjoyed taking care of her. I came back the next night and she was not doing as well. Her husband and 2 sisters were there. They were lovely as well. The patient was still cracking her jokes, but the pain and heaving didn’t allow for as many. My meds weren’t working. Her family watched her like a hawk with fear and tears in their eyes holding it together, wondering if this time might be the last time they al

have a plan for how to get the medication left in the tubing into the patient. I'm not talking about fluids or the ED folks that hang the big ass 500 cc bag of vanco to gravity. I see people hang little 50 cc or 100 cc bags primary, through a pump, and then just run it dry because they don't think about the volume they used to prime the tubing. I was that fucking visitor today and touched an IV pump. I felt so shitty having to do it and only did so after having the call light on for a few minutes. They had hung 1 g methylprednisolone as a primary in a 50 cc bag and overprogrammed it by over 25 cc. It was the same tubing I use where I work and I know for a fact the primary and extension tubing they had on there was 20-25 cc depending on how full the drip chamber was. It had just started pulling air past the drip chamber so I hit the stop button. They had programmed it for the exact amount on the bag without a thought as to how to get the half to a third of the dose that was left in the
I’m in Australia and we only use brand names for a handful of meds. Where I work, these are typically Panadol, clexane, Movicol, buscopan, tazocin, augmentin, slow K/span K and a couple more my mind is blanking on. It’s hospital policy (and AFAIK legal policy) to use generic names to avoid confusion and keep everything standardised, but we let it slide for very common ones we all know. When I watch US medical shows (which is pretty much only The Pitt anyway) or stuff on social media, I’m always surprised at how many brand names are used. I’m constantly looking up meds I’ve never heard of only to find out it’s actually something I give every day. I remember watching The Pitt and being like “wtf is Ancef is that some niche antibiotic we never use” but turns out it’s just amoxicillin cefazolin. Doesn’t this cause confusion when there’s multiple brand names available? Are generic medications not as common over there so brand names end up being used more? Edit: by “we” in my first sentence

For context, I am a 20 yr old female nurse plus new at my job, so that’s not a good combo when telling people what to do. I work at an adolescent psych hospital, and we have mostly paper charting and have to rewrite precaution orders for every patient out in their chart. Around 11pm I was doing these rewrites which takes about an hour and a half for all 30 patients, when I asked two techs in front of me who were doing nothing and playing on their phones (not blaming them for that I’m usually on my phone when there’s nothing to do too) if they could do some charting on the computer for midnight for me since I was busy. Actual convo: Me - “hey, could either of you do the night audit since I’m doing rewrites?” A pause. One tech laughs for a few seconds and says to other tech “did she just ask me to do that?” Me - “ 😕 I, uh… yeah” This was my first time delegating a task to someone, and I just felt totally embarrassed and didn’t know what to do after being so blatantly disrespected.

I was driving into work a few days ago, listening and singing along to pretty upbeat music when I saw you. The street hadn’t been blocked off yet, but the police were out. I was slow and careful. Did a courtesy wave to the officers walking around and I saw you. You hadn’t been covered yet. It was just a second. I looked away as soon as I realized what I was seeing. I’ve dealt with death and bodies enough, but you hit different. I’ve thought about you everyday. I am so sorry about what happened to you. I don’t know your name, I don’t know you. But I am so sorry. A friend of mine almost took their life the same way you did, a few years ago. I heard their pain after the fact and I felt like the worst friend in the world for not seeing it before. I felt shattered, but I know that didn’t even compare. I’m so sorry. My friend found their peace. I hope you find yours, wherever you are.

I am a new nurse of 3 years. In that time I’ve worked Pysch and ED and recently started at large Level 1 hospital. During orientation, there were many new grads and I was blown away at the entitlement and flippancy of these new nurses. One nurse behind me that was apparently starting in the ICU (she mentioned it like four times) complained endlessly about the things every orientation has- POC BGM, restraints, wound care, etc. During the practice session for applying violent restraints she says “Why are they even making us do this? Security will put these on. This is so stupid.” It was eight hours of hearing her bitch and sigh about everything when she has not EVEN BEEN ON THE FLOOR YET!!! Girl, just wait… Another complained to the chaplain that, LAST YEAR during her internship, a family requested holy water and she called the chaplain and no one answered. She then apparently couldn’t find any holy water in the chapel. The chaplain was more gracious than I would have been and apologized
Lurker here 👋 Working m/s, over a year into my 2 year contract. Requested PTO 3 months prior to the date after a chat with the manager who said no one else had requested PTO for those days yet and traditionally those dates don't get requested much. Gave me enough assurance that I felt safe buying tickets (guiding hikes and paddles for 2 weeks for a handful of people who have already booked tickets). Just got the schedule and the PTO was denied due to others with more seniority requesting for the same dates. I'm not butthurt about the seniority; I understand why it's a thing. I'm just looking for advice on how you would proceed. Can't swap shifts because of rules about only being able to swap within the same pay period. I have plenty of PTO hours so I can call in sick for 5 shifts over 2 weeks but it seems like a crappy thing to do... and if I were to call in sick, I'm not sure if I should give management a heads up or not.

I am really struggling to provide safe care to my patients because of how our doctors act. I think some of their actions are very much related to being on night shift. First off, they straight up refuse to make any adjustments to the plan of care, even if it’s indicated. Every morning I hand my patients off after begging for orders overnight. Every evening I come back to those orders having been put in during the day and a very frustrated day team that wished it had been done right off the bat. I am being met with day team doctors coming in and demanding to know why things weren’t done overnight. Asking me why I never told anyone about an assessment finding. I tell them I did and what I advocated for. Second off, they cannot be bothered to come to bedside to check on their patients. Febrile, tachy, complaining of new pain and increased abdominal distension after bowel surgery? Oh well. This is not just a me problem. My coworkers all are struggling with this too. Third off, they are fla

Sharing this here because my friends and family that aren’t in healthcare don’t truly understand how huge this is. I have been a nurse for almost a decade. Even with all the things we love to complain about (staffing, pay, hospital politics, etc), I’ve truly loved every minute of it. The part I’ve loved most has been precepting nursing students and new hires. There’s a lot of satisfaction that comes with teaching someone to be successful and achieve their own personal goals. So a few months ago, I began applying for clinical educator positions because that’s where I could see myself long term. I applied to nearly every job I could find that contained the words “clinical education”, “nurse educator”, “nurse professional development”, etc. but was having zero luck on getting an interview for any position in a hospital setting (I applied to dozens). Then one day I stumbled across a clinical educator position for a biotech company. It involved partnering with the sales team to provide clin
Just moved somewhere with break nurses, which is awesome except for this one lady. Everytime I ask her to do anything at all she has a thousand questions and goes into my charting and gives unwanted feedback. I asked her to empty a foley for me. She was asking me how often I’ve been emptying it, what is it for, etc. Everytime I come back, my charting has been picked apart. It’s very frustrating. I don’t need to be told to document intake and output. Sometimes I’m behind on my charting but I have notes of everything so it doesn’t get forgotten. submitted by /u/throwawayhair831 [link] [comments]
My wife and I are having a debate/discussion. I’m a nurse with ICU and flight experience. My wife is a physical therapist. We have recently had family members hospitalized (atleast 1 at a hospital we have worked at before; so we know people there) and I insist on NOT letting the healthcare workers know we are in health care. My wife disagrees. My wife’s position is that it doesn’t matter if they know. They’ll do their job. And with the family member hospitalized at the hospital we used to work at, it doesn’t matter cuz we know several workers. They’re friends of ours. So there’s no point in concealing anything. (Obviously we are following hipaa in these instances before anyone comments) My position is we shouldn’t tell them unless they ask. I feel like it’s a distraction. I think some nurses (and other healthcare workers) may think I’m judging their practice rather than just engaging in their workflow. I have a few anecdotes/incidents/reasons for why I have this position. First is when
Hey, I’m just posting to get some clarity/reassurance about my situation because I think I might be overthinking it. I smoked on June 22 and completely forgot that I needed to get a drug test done for my nursing program. I smoked probably less than 10 small hits of a joint and didn’t even really get high. I also don’t smoke often at all, MAYBE once every other month. The test I have to take is a urine test through Labcorp. I weigh around 130 lbs, I’m 5’8”, and I’m pretty lean, probably around 10–12% body fat. Since smoking, I’ve taken multiple at-home urine tests. I took three 50 ng/mL tests at different points ranging from about 2 days after smoking to 3 weeks afterward, and they were all negative. Then, about a month after smoking, I took a few more sensitive tests at 15 ng/mL and 20 ng/mL (two of each on different days). I even tested using my first pee in the morning because I heard that’s when urine is the most concentrated. Every single one came back negative. I feel like I’m pro

I’m currently an ICU nurse and interviewing for a position at a surgery center. The position is PACU, pre-op, and admissions, and you float between all three I knew I would probably take a pay cut leaving the hospital/ICU and I was prepared for that. But they offered me $12/hr less than what I currently make. When I asked if there was any flexibility with the pay, he told me, “I don’t care what you make at the hospital, this isn’t the hospital . Patients here are stable “Literally just like that .

I’ve been seeing everywhere online of all nurses saying how hard it is , how mean the surgeons are, how mentally draining taking call is and always being on go… and then the biggest thing, not feeling actually comfortable until 2 years in the OR.

I know this is an amazing opportunity so I don’t really want to hear comments about that. I just don’t know if this is really going to be as bad as people online say it is or what?
