@AnotherICU_RN That’s so sweet of you to say! 💖

Last night the most important nursing task I did was make a cup of tea for and hold the hand of a tired and probably dying elderly man 😢

“Hey! It’s Sally with surg... wait... I mean ... I would like to place an order for delivery please.”

My manager legit tried to tell me today that resources are the same for night shift and day shift

I told her “tell me where case management or social worker sits on nights so they can get my patients placements and follow-up, and where my double-digits staff when I get 5 nurses”

I’ve seen situations like this time and time again in my hospital. Once had a family in tears begging me to convince the Dr to let their Dad have a say in his diabetes management, as he had for decades. The Dr treated them like they were stupid. It was so upsetting.

A nurse in hospital told me I wasn’t allowed to give insulin because my BG levels were normal and I’d go hypo. I said I was eating food and needed insulin. She said to wait until my blood sugar was higher before being allowed to take insulin to bring it down again? (Continued)

This thread sends a shiver down my diabetic spine.....

*Rambles off all the names of the 5 million meds. I ask if it's ok if they take them*
*Patient says yes sure*
*Opens all meds and gives them in med cup to patient*
Hey what's this pill? Points at one of the 5 white pills in med cup

ALWAYS 👏🏽 HAVE 👏🏽 SUCTION 👏🏽 SET 👏🏽 UP 👏🏽 IN 👏🏽 YOUR 👏🏽 PATIENT'S 👏🏽 ROOM 👏🏽

Not a yankauer and suction tubing still in the packaging sitting next to the suction regulator. Set it up and make sure it works. Every patient. Every time.

Great thread on what it really looks like when someone can't afford the meds they need 👇👇 https://t.co/iYzxnbTQgX

My #eclipse night shift kicked my ass.

[ICU RN @_ICURN]

When you walk in at change of shift to your pt's fluids running right into their mitten, totally not connected to their IV

Home after 3/3 day shifts. Still hearing alarms in my head 😣

[ICU RN @_ICURN]

There's nothing I hate more than people's misconceptions about type 1

[ICU RN @_ICURN]

My coworker thinks that every kid with type 1 diabetes will be in kidney failure by age 20...

When a patient tells a night shifter that they can turn the light on @OnlyintheICU

[EDgnome @ERgnome]
