Life as a float nurse. A dull moment here and there but at least you are always on the move. Also, you know when the assignments are made on the floor you are getting the patient the rest of the staff want nothing to do with - for real!
Yesterday, I was given crackheads in two different units. Crackheads can be amusing if you are not so busy to appreciate them. They tell stories about normal home lifes and about their hopes and dreams and seconds later they are screaming because the remote does not work! Good times!
I had a resident order 10mg IV Ativan for a 93 year old confused patient so she would be still for her MRI. I think at that dose she may have laid still for MUCH longer. But I also say physician orders are merely suggestions and sometimes we have to tweak them a bit so that the residents do not kill grandma and make the grandchildren cry come Christmas!
How many days do I have left?? Too many!!
