Here’s to more “ayaw ko na magwork” and “ano ba tong pinasok ko” and “hanap nalang kaya ko sugar daddy??!?!” moments of my life. Ya girl is now RN III 🏩
@araeliza Nilagyan ko ng “PA stated he did not want to order COVID testing at this time” tapos yung last documentation ko “PA agreed to test patient after stating that patient also having loss of taste”. Pero dapat matic covid r/o eh. Cough + galing group home + weakness 🙄
Me to PA: I think we should test the new admit for COVID, she’s been coughing non stop since I admitted her.
PA: naaaah, she’s okay.
Me: she came from a group home too.
PA: that’s okay. The edema and pulmonary htn is causing her to cough.
Me: okay. I will document that
@araeliza Diba. Still mad!!! Grabe. And then buti sana if it was just me eh. Pero yung intubated patient ko na katabi nya also, COVID negative noon. Ngayon ewan ko na. 😭😭 kawawa. Plus yung ibang staff na nag cover sakin for lunch and banyo breaks!!!
This is where the system fails us. Healthcare workers should be the one protecting each other... not up-ing each other. I was sitting with my pt in the PACU (our ICU’s overflow), for more than half my shift, because her roommate is trying to self extubate the whole night. Hay.
And 6 hours later.... my patient tells me she’s been having poor appetite due to loss of taste. So just then, the PA ordered COVID testing AND STATED THAT THIS IS ON ME AND MY CHARGE NURSE. I FREAKING TOLD YOU WHEN I GOT HER FROM CATH LAB THAT THE LADY WAS COUGHING HER LUNGS OUT!
Wala nang CRRT machines in the whole of Las Vegas!!! HAYUP. So now we’re choosing who to do CRRT on. It has come to this. So utang na loob mag mask kayo or just stay at home.
