Say it with me folks...
A "positive" urinalysis and/or bacteriuria do NOT equal a UTI without correlation to actual symptoms!
...also, malodorous urine is not a symptom of a UTI.
@PhlawlessPharm Find a level one trauma center that’s not in a super popular/large city. I found a primarily ER position and float to trauma and neuro ICU with just a pgy1.
@squirebrocoRN Ohh I love adding a good quote. Tonight I got to chart “get out of my room I don’t want your bullshit” and “I need roc bc my patient won’t do what I want and I can’t get him sedated”
@PhlawlessPharm @topknottraveler I had this happen, instructed RN to update the pump… 2 hours later it still wasn’t fixed. The RN response “it doesn’t matter what the pump is set at it is dosing mcg/min” … if only our pumps were that smart
It's six AM. I'm still in bed and my eyes are barely open. I reach for my phone. I check my email. Last night's sign out just arrived. I scan last the names I don't recognize, looking for one in particular... 🧵
