Overheard in the ED...

*patient yelling at phone across the room*

“Hey, Siri!”

“Siri? Can you help me get out of these handcuffs?”

@Joedzim This just tells me that greener pastures really do exist out there 😂🙌🏻

Question.
Say you have A. No management on nights nor ability to call them when needed + B. travel RT/RN who is refusing to treat pts (and no for reason. just to be an ass.) Does Charge have the ability to send said employee home if this behavior continues?

[Snarky RT @SnarkyResp]

@theBSinBSN 100% how it should be. But soooo many things were already wrong prior to this specific incident. Entire administration is really lacking here. Much bigger than us, but also a ripple effect of 0 fucks given. 🤷🏼‍♀️🙃#icingonshitcake

[Snarky RT @SnarkyResp]

@saltywidowrn Actually yes. There is always a nursing supervisor. But with it being an RT in this specific situation, I feel like it’s slightly more compilated getting overhouse involved . 🤔

[Snarky RT @SnarkyResp]

@theBSinBSN Preaching to the choir 😓. Night mgmt is MIA last 6+ months. Day mgmt “might” answer the phone depending on time but 100% would never come in and won’t do anything about any night issues. Told to handle it/figure it out.

@icu__troll This is me so much that it hurts. Hugs. 🖤

A good reminder with new grad season upon us.

[scrubs&frictionrubs @lubdubscrubs]

So HR issued a memo... a lot of our units have t-shirts that say our unit name and RN on them. Now HR says we can’t wear them. Excuse my language but how about we fucking focus on important things like safe staffing ratios and if we have the resources to do our jobs...

[Snarky RT @SnarkyResp]

When you’re department is extremely short staffed and one person quits. THEN another schedules surgery for December and magically gets all the fucking holidays off. While the rest of us will wind up working 5 fucking days a week because we have no goddamn coverage. 🤬

My grandmother took too much sleeping medicine and went “unresponsive”. Not sure how medically accurate that is. But apparently EMS gave atropine. She’s decent now, but still getting admitted.

When a normal 2 hour transport turns into a 4.5 hour transport. 🤦🏻‍♀️

#medtwitter it’s been a minute friends! Same old shit tho 😂🤷🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🙄

[Snarky RT @SnarkyResp]

NICU and heartburn are kicking my ass tonight. I want to cry.

[Snarky RT @SnarkyResp]

I got complained on for something that didn’t happen. And my manager didn’t believe me. So that’s super cool. 🤬

[Snarky RT @SnarkyResp]

Some days I seriously hate my job. I hate when people don’t do more that could..

[BASED SPUTUM GOD @ineedrtSTAT]

Dear RN: if I’m tied up in an emergency, I literally can’t make it over to give a PRN treatment. So rather than asking me who else you can call, why not start the nebulizer yourself? Your hands aren’t broken.

[Snarky RT @SnarkyResp]

@ineedrtSTAT We sometimes still do CPT in the delivery room per provider. I knew that it wasn’t supported anymore, but I didn’t know why exactly. 🤔 #makes sense
