There's a large shortage of nursing assistants and nurses in quite a few facilities - why? Largely because management does not listen to staff & does not do the right thing. Staff can only take so much. Its so ridiculous.
I’m that nurse that votes for completely closing nursing homes and facilities until they can sort out their managerial, funding, supply, and staffing issues.
lmfao Idk why I am the way I am but I think it’s smart?! 😭💀
Let me have been an owner of a malfunctioning facility!
U have ur opinion on what I’m saying and that’s okay. Diff nurses have diff opinion. I’m not sure what makes u think I go to work putting my tiny ass in harms way lol I’m only 5 feet. I just fully understand what nursing is. U def couldn’t have worked during the aids epidemic
LMFAO. Girl look, I was the only one. It was me ALL the time. Overtime because we had no staff. Me and 3 others on the floor ALL the time. We grew sick and tired. Lmfaooooo
No summa, your state just needs to do better and you need to step up and stand your ground so some shit starts shaking. You shouldn’t EVER fear your license is at risk unless you really did some fuck shit. That’s all Imma say girl. Stay safe!
I made sure my fellow nurses after me would have some protection. THAT’S good nursing. Just saying “Eh, it is what it is.” WACK AF. 😭😭😭💀💀
Your state needs to do better. Period.
Lol I’ve worked in psych and trauma. I get it. Still never put myself in a situation to be choked out or stabbed JUST because I was assigned a patient??? Absolutely not. In fact me being so DILIGENT about saying no - got us some more security and more standing orders lmfaoo
There’s very little risk as a Peds nurse. I work in Psych where I can literally be violently attacked at work. I also work the ED where I have no idea what’s coming thru the door. I took care of my 1st corona patient on Thursday night after being pulled to a diff unit.
@myleafz@1HunnitDash@abike1999@Kool_Mo_B Not all patients with Covid are dangerously sick. Patients of anything else can have it and not know they have it. It may not ever fully go away. It’s not a job for her.
You need to look into unionizing in your state. Your license shouldn’t be at risk for saying no. You’re not a martyr and somebody has to be able to do your job. Nurses saying “welp it’s just the way it is” are the reason we have poor pay, no unions, & keep being overwhelmed lol
I understand very well that if I’m pulled to work a different floor & I get to that floor, take report and find out I got a corona patient. I betta do it or my license is at risk. Once u take report U R RESPONSIBLE!!!!! That’s how it works where I am.
