Black comedy about a nurse on a 12 hour shift. It's on netflix right now submitted by /u/judiefoodie [link] [comments]
Hello! As the title states — I’m leaving the CVICU!! I have two offers and would like a little bit of insight/help. Background - I am transferring within the same hospital as there are only two major hospital systems and the other one was going to pay me 5$ lower an hour so decided to stay. I have an offer from the EP lab & another offer for Infusion - oncology! EP lab 4 10s 6:30-5 Pros: no weekend, no holidays, get paid 40 hours no matter what(even if you leave early), highly marketable to device companies, niche skill set Cons: 6:30AM 4 days a weeks start time (I am not a morning person), staffing crisis (they all left for the industry), cold dark room all day, seemed chaotic (still better than cvicu) Infusion oncology, 4 9s 7:30-5 Pro: 7:30AM start time, I love that speciality, way more chill & predictable, doesn’t feel like I’m in a jail cell. Cons: 1 weekend day requirement, holiday requirement (no Christmas or thanksgiving tho), not as niche but could still be marketable to pharm
So I’ve been volun-told to be the chair of the Employee Engagement Committee. I truly do want to make the workplace better for our nurses (as a fellow in the trenches nurse). So seriously, what could a committee do to make your workplace better? I’m not talking better ratios, more pay, etc. I am waaaaaay too low on the totem pole for that. But I’m also not a fan of red plastic tablecloth “red carpets” or “heroes work here” signs. All I’d want is free food truck iced coffee vouchers, but I’m looking for ideas that don’t make you want to punch these tone-deaf committees in the face 🤗 submitted by /u/18pagesfrontnback [link] [comments]
I had 3 patients last night on a step down floor. In ranks of sickest. Patient 1- maxed out on bipap satting in the 80s Patient 2- on heated high flow 40 percent and some ABX Patient 3- had been weaned off levophed 48 hours prior to my shift. nephrology still debating on whether to do dialysis or not due to BUN and Cr trending up. Also their toes were turning blue but day docs were convinced it was bc of the levophed. Patient 3 all of a sudden is agonal breathing and mottling on legs. Code blue called. Keep in mind this patient was oriented (but confused), satting 100% on RA, gave them a bath earlier in the shift. Patient now intubated in the ICU and to my knowledge, coded again. I could’ve told you they were one of the most stable patients on the floor. I have a feeling they went into kidney failure because there UOP was next to nothing. submitted by /u/Dry-Draft9248 [link] [comments]
Not sure if this was a glitch or what but this is a coworker I considered a friend. They were talking about me, she was telling him things I had complained about him earlier that week- I told her in confidence of course (some lies added). I also learned from that call that she’s jealous of me and seemed to be trying to make my supervisor hate me. I also realized just how close they are. I knew they talked but they’re REALLY close. They share very deep personal things that seem inappropriate but whatever. I cut her off that same day. Only communicate about work related stuff. I don’t know if they ever realized that I was on that call briefly. There’s a part of me that wants to subtly say something, bad idea? submitted by /u/6044home [link] [comments]

I have a background in ED and L&D nursing. This summer I have moved to a new state and thought that private duty nursing sounded awesome (mostly because of the schedule flexibility). I like to give new things a try so I said, what the heck. My first (and only) shift I have taken was in my opinion terrible. It was for a pedi patient who was nonverbal. Her parents were home and stayed in the bedroom the whole 9 hours I was there. That's fine, they are entitled to that, however....I literally felt like a babysitter. A battered babysitter mind you. This child was kicking me, hitting me, and pulling my hair. She had absolutely no toys in the house and we had Mrs. Rachel and Cocomelon on ALL DAY. If this is how peds private duty nursing is, I just don't know if I can do it. I have 3 kids of my own and I feel like if I wanted to work at a daycare I would have applied to one. Help. submitted by /u/kr168q [link] [comments]
A Montana nurse was hiking Granite Peak when he slipped and accidentally got impaled by his trekking pole. Using his medical training, he checked himself and realized he was stable and the pole had likely missed any vital organs. He contacted search and rescue but decided not to request a helicopter because he felt he could safely hike out, wanted to avoid the huge cost of an air rescue, and had two experienced friends with him. He ended up hiking more than 10 miles with the pole still in his body, made it to the hospital, had it removed, and recovered quickly. submitted by /u/Strikelight72 [link] [comments]
An alert and oriented patient who can use the urinal themself in dim light, ambulate with some supervision, sit up, decent ROM etc...asked me to rub cream on their genitals while smiling about it a bit too much for my liking. I calmly refused and explained why I believe they are capable of doing it themself, but I offered to get things set up. They are claiming they cant rub the cream on themself due to poor eyesight. Day shift nurse doesnt mind doing it, and even hinted at "who cares if the patient gets a kick out of it?" The director of nursing is demanding that I do it next time. I explained that after a thorough patient assessment, it is clearly within the patient's abilities to do it themself. Am i tripping, or does it seem weird to be in situations as nurses like this? I havent lost my cool even after being groped or assaulted as a nurse, but part of the way I stay safe is by trusting my instincts about when to say no. For more context, i'm the type to take over all cares for a p
So recently I decided to move on to outpatient forever after a really bad experience in the ICU that had me fired over what I suspect was pressing charges on a violent etoh patient. Of course that wasn't the official reason, they nitpicked everything I didn't perfectly do or didn't do including being late for 5 min once and used it as a reason to let me go. As well as grilling me what I should have done to not get attacked. In hindsight I should have seen the signs, they literallt gave us a whole ass presentation on how unions lead to poor patient care. I'll bounce back, I'm interviewing for case management and things are looking up. But I feel stabbed in the back and it burns me up inside that they made me out to be incompetent surrounding the incident. I did my job just fine, I did everything I was supposed to do, and the patient decided to cheap shot me during patient transfer. I was perfectly professional with the guy and made sure he was getting his care. Kept the MDs well aware o
ER doc just wanting to stop in and try and stop this widespread error. Almost every shift I have to tell a nurse/patient that ODT meds are NOT sublingual medications. It is not absorbed by the sublingual tissues. It is not absorbed by buccal tissues. It goes on TOP of the tongue so that it can disintegrate with saliva and be swallowed. The whole reason ODT (orally disintegrating tablets) exist is that someone can take it without having to take a chug of water to get the pill down. Putting under someone’s tongue just slows down the disintegration. Also, if the patient complains about the taste, they can just swallow the tablet whole with or without water. Thanks. Edit: the strike through part was unnecessary and Im sorry that I put it in the original post. As pointed out by multiple replies, i should have not said that and it doesnt add anything meaningful. Sorry yall. submitted by /u/Abhorash-TheWanderer [link] [comments]
I just made a little over a year now as a LVN. I work at an urgent care setting and a SNF. I brought in a patient and did her vitals. She looks at my name badge and tells me “ why didn’t you go for your RN to become a nurse instead? Why settle for little pay”. Honestly all I did was laugh and said “ yeah you’re right”. But I was so annoyed the entire time because she kept going on about how I should become a RN so I can do more like her brother etc etc. I felt uncomfortable and sad because I worked hard for the title I have now. And of course I wanted to pursue RN and plan to do it in the future. But at the time my financial situation was not that great and I had a lot going on. I don’t understand why people think it’s okay to belittle you or question “why didn’t you do this instead”. I’m proud of where I am today because I’ve learned to appreciate how far I’ve come into my life and stopped beating myself up over not being further. submitted by /u/Mission_Angle4397 [link] [comments]
Hi- I’m so sad because one of my patients passed yesterday evening and according to the on call hospice nurse, he passed uncomfortably. I’ve been a nurse for 11 years and I knew from the beginning this patient’s case was going to be extremely difficult given how in denial the entire family was. Anyway, fast forward, the patient fell on the floor and the family did not find him for some time. Once he was found a member of the family had access to a defibrillator (this is a little sketchy I must say) and attempted cpr without revival as he most likely passed some time before. The family kept repeating how painful and uncomfortable his death was which, as his case manager, makes me want to cry. My job is to promote peaceful death. The family and patient were tough. they wanted privacy often during his time on hospice and I tried to respect that 😢 submitted by /u/nursingnataly27 [link] [comments]
I’m originally a registered nurse from China, and I came to Australia to pursue a Master’s degree in Nursing. My dream has always been to graduate, gain acute care experience, and eventually become a travel nurse. After completing my second nursing placement in Australia, I found a job as a hospital phlebotomist. After nine weeks of training, my mentor gave me high praise, and my manager assigned me to perform ward-round phlebotomy in a hospital. I took this job hoping to gain more clinical experience. Instead, it has made me completely averse to clinical work. I found that Australian hospitals have a strict hierarchy. Patients seem to respect doctors far more than anyone else. More than once, patients publicly mocked my heavy English accent. Doctors would suddenly barge in during rounds, completely ignoring me, while patients refused to cooperate with blood draws and criticized me publicly even when I hadn’t done anything wrong. Once admitted to hospital, some people seem to stop hidi
I had my first baby back in July 2025. I started at a new work place (acute/critical care hospital, employed as a med/surg float) in November 2024. For context I work in Ontario, Canada as an RN (BScN). I was (I guess you can say) scouted for an ED/ICU position - the ED/ICU float manager reached out and asked if I would be interested in this position after floating to both units and (I’m assuming) doing quite well. I have zero experience (other than consolidating [2022] in ED at a different hospital - however I felt Med/Surg was a right of passage and would make me a more proficient nurse altogether, which I still feel was the right decision]. Upon my return from maternity leave [July 2026, 4 days orientation] I am REALLY struggling with recall, critical thinking, policies etc. However when I have floated to the floor (Med/Surg/IP) I have felt like my pre-partum self. I think that reason I was scouted for critical care department was because I adapted easily and was strong with my crit
Today I learned that nurses can lose their job or even risk their license for smoking weed on their own time, even in states where it’s legal. That’s fucking bullshit. Imagine making as low as $29 an hour, busting your ass for 12-hour shifts, then being told you can’t legally smoke a joint on your day off. Fuck the government and employers for policing what adults do with their own bodies when they’re off the clock. submitted by /u/Dismal_Garden26 [link] [comments]

Just started a new outpatient RN position. Job is part time (three 8s), very flexible, easy compared to where I was before, team is great, close to where I live in a medium/high COL area, but the hourly pay isn’t great, little to no room to grow. I have an offer from a different outpatient center in a leadership position (DON) that doubles my hourly rate. Full time, five 8s, although I might be able to get it to four days. They need a good deal of help since they haven’t had leadership in a little while; nurses are mostly registry right now, nurses on staff call out sick a lot, center is a little unorganized, etc. But they are motivated towards improvement as a whole. It’s about an hour away from where we currently live in a VERY HCOL but absolutely beautiful area, which will put us closer to my spouses work but a touch further from family/friends. No kids so that doesn’t factor into decision making. This is a life changing opportunity money and title wise, but working that many days a
I suggested palliative for my 57 year old frequent flyer with end stage COPD who has expressed she will not stop smoking. DC’ed 3 days ago and is back. Doctor laughed at me and said no with no explanation. Am I dumb? Am I missing something? Edit: typed this as I was still charting at work so left lots of detail out. I didn’t clarify in person as it was during rounds and I was pulled from rounds to tend to my pt w a BP of 76/28. Figured I’d ask after but my rapid put me behind immensely and completely forgot. I was reminded while charting my communication. I’ve never seen this doctor and I work float so I’m not sure when I’ll see him again.

First time poster here... I just needed to let this out. I work pediatrics. I was helping a coworker with her patient, she needed blood work. The labs sent on night shift clotted (it happens) and so we went in to explain to dad we had to poke the patient for redraw. The first blood collection came from the IV. So this would be the first poke. The dad was furious and said the last nurse threw some blood away (the waste from IV) and then sent a tube earlier why do you need more blood now my kid is weak. (These were 2 microtainer so 2cc of blood max). He finally agreed then as we are getting the patient ready, he is visibly upset and says "you guys must not have any family". I was very confused by that comment and he said "you guys don't care". I told him " We don't want to poke her just to poke her, the doctor needs these labs pre op. If you don't want us to do it, I'll let doc know and you can talk to them" anyways he was upset still but let us do it. I was just so upset/confused by tha

I say "I can get a bedside commode for the room" She says "I don't think I can get up" I say "I can put you on a bedpan or put a diaper on you" She says "I don't like any of those options" In my head I'm like: lady, the only other option is to poop the bed.

My unit will have patients that get agitated to the point that hit/throw items/ spit on staff every day or multiple times a day. It’s not uncommon. Of course when patients are like this they will not take po meds and need an IM medication for agitation. More often than not there is no standing order for agitation even though the patient will have literally done this over a dozen times before. Instead there will be a bunch of one time orders for every individual time they start beating beside staff. The time it takes for me to page the doctor, wait for them to actually reply and then wait for the pharmacy to verify, routinely takes 15+ minutes. In the meantime we’re getting punched/ kicked/ having items thrown at us. Why do doctors refuse to just add a standing order of an IM medication. They can literally just add parameters, or a BARS/ RASS scale parameter if they’re worried that the med will be used flippantly. If a patient is hitting staff day after day or multiple times a day and t

I regularly check our job boards and this is a new one that popped up this week. Knowing the state of US healthcare and the likely decline in reimbursements and rise in uninsured patients, I can only assume that they are hoping to increase revenue by attracting wealthy clientele from overseas who will come to get elective procedures and pay top dollar in cash. Some of the verbiage in the description: luxury, VIP patient experiences, dedicated patient liaison. Anyone else seeing this at their hospital?

I had one patient that needed to be transported to inpatient hospice and another patient who had been sitting in urine and needed to be changed. I asked my cna for help multiple times because I couldn’t physically be in two places at once. My request for help was ignored. Since I wasn’t getting the help I needed, a transporter ended up helping me take my patient to hospice instead. While we were walking down the hallway, both the transporter and I saw my coworker standing in the hallway talking on her phone. I told her again that my patient still needed help. When I came back to the unit, she was still standing there on the phone. I asked if she had helped my patient, and she said no. At that point I went to my charge nurse because I didn’t know what else to do. My patient was still waiting, and I felt like patient care was being neglected. After my charge nurse spoke with my coworker, my coworker immediately came up to me screaming. She started threatening to “kick my ass” and had to

Here we go again, folks. Like the healthcare crisis of the 2008-09 Great Recession only worse, as the ACA (passed in 2010) ameliorated a dire situation.

UNC Hospitals is changing how premium shifts are assigned. Instead of offering a set bonus, nurses can request an open shift at the pay rate they want. If the shift stays open, other eligible staff can request it for a lower premium rate. In most cases, the lowest bid gets the shift, although managers can still choose someone else based on the unit’s needs or the nurse’s skills and experience. UNC says the goal is to make staffing more consistent across the health system, but the change has sparked debate among nurses because it encourages bidding against each other for extra shifts. submitted by /u/Strikelight72 [link] [comments]
Hello! I am not a nurse, but my boyfriend has been in the hospital after a heart transplant for several weeks now. The staff have been so great. I wanted to buy breakfast/lunch/snack/etc for the floor staff as a thank you. I was thinking of doing bagels + cream cheese, but there is a panera in the hospital, so maybe they’re sick of it. What would YOU want to get from a patient’s family in the break room? I would like for it to ideally last the day so both day shift and night shift can enjoy a bit.

I made the switch over to ICU and it’s almost been half a year. Here’s what I think you should know: A lot of the times it feels we are ‘prolonging’ life not saving. A lot of the times it will be elderly patients who no longer have the right to make decisions for themselves. A lot of the times you will find yourself making your patient uncomfortable per order. Don’t get me wrong- I do have moments where I feel like I’m making a difference in someone’s life and that’s enough for me to enjoy ICU. But a LOT of it feels cruel at times. You can tell the patient is tired and uncomfortable and yet we will trach + peg and send them to a long term care facility.

I’ve been a nurse for over 10 years in which I worked a variety of specialties (the most recent in PACU). I started a new job and decided to switch to the OR. I went in knowing being a circulator is going be a whole different type of nursing than what I’m used to. I’m about a month in and I’m doing “fine.”The clinical coordinator checks in with me once a week to see how the orientation process is going. We discuss what’s next in my orientation schedule and discuss any feedback from preceptors (which there hasn’t been any). I am up front with her about everything and she’s been great with making the orientation process as easy as possible. I guess my point is the frustration I feel being an experienced nurse with a head full of knowledge that doesn’t really cross over so I feel like a brand new nurse. I’m still adjusting and I know I will continue to improve my circulator skills but it will take time. It doesn’t help that there are some co-workers I already don’t like because they have
So I applied for two jobs (IV TEAM PRN & FLIGHT PART TIME). I thought I wasn’t going to get the iv team job but I did and the money is great so I accepted it. Then I got notified I got an in person interview for flight and that is goals (24 hour shift is part time). If I get offered that job I was going to take it. However, as I’m thinking about logistics, is it possible to do two orientations? The iv team job is lax about the schedule with orientation and my manager said I would be lucky to get 4 shifts a month which is fine ( I want my picc cert and they will pay for it). IV is more for experience as I’m in the ER PRN but wanted something that offered more money. Flight finally had a position open so I jumped on it. It’s all hypothetical at this point since I didn’t interview yet but on the off chance I get flight, I want everyone’s advice on how to juggle jobs and orientation.

Just wanted to get a consensus from everyone. Our management has dropped a new task on us as floor nurses that we are now responsible for obtaining pre-authorization from private insurance companies for our patients to be admitted to an inpatient bed from the emergency psych department. In my 13+ years, I have never been tasked with this. To me, that should be covered by UR or the billing department, or anyone else besides the floor nurse with a full patient load and a million other tasks.
