Bathing suit weather is just around the corner, and yet, temptations are offered. Sweets, to those who should be given a limousine with a chauffeur, to the private jet, to a beautiful island.

A worthy gesture of appreciation, from those that worthy. and are greatly appreciated.

Now I want to go shopping for rain boots and rain coats.

I like those high waste vintage two-piece suits and the tiny bikini days are long gone.
I give up the sweets except while at work and can't wait to swim in the salty ocean.

I love the sand in my ass crack, the search for shells and sea glass.

It's almost time for summer storms and flip flops anyway.

The Intern is getting on my nerves.

I don't want to be the cranky grumpy ICU RN, I really don't.
I want to be the "nice nurse."

I am trying to curb my hot temper and maintain professionalism, but I have been mean to him at least three times in the last month. I go home feeling guilty, but he's pushing me on purpose.

 

[sweepthefloor]

It's never a good idea for the Intern to walk into the ICU, order inappropriate medications and diagnostics and tell the ICU RN: "I am the Doctor, that's why."

 

[sweepthefloor]

The sad part: I am the nurse that sticks up for Interns and Residents when the Attending is cruel, I am the nice nurse that defends them to the real cranky ICU nurses. I am the nurse that respects their hard work, extensive education, and responsibility.

I just want to do my job, the nurse work, but I can't have an Intern doing stupid stuff in the critical care setting because at the end of the day, "because the doctor told me to do it," will never get me out of trouble if something bad happens to a vulnerable patient.

 

[Hard_Rom]

Sounds like you are doing exactly the right thing. And the fact that you feel guilty about it shows you have a heart. Doing the right thing is hardly ever the easy thing. Kudos to your professionalism.

It hardly looks professional when I agitated, I can be hot tempered and apparently he wasn't warned about me. I have simmered down finally after venting to the Attending, and chief Resident. He's immature, and I am hoping for a better second year for him.

Tufts Medical Center


After 15 months of negotiating about staffing, the nurses decided to strike. The hospital does not want to staff the ICU properly.

What changed, after 30 years of peaceful negotiations ?

gsgs comment-

The nurses have coped with the lack of safe levels of staffing, but it has become dangerous for their patients. The nurses spoke up for their patients."The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different result."

"They insist on offering us staffing proposals that are disjointed and superficial. What we need from them is simple: more full-time RNs and specialty nurses, and charge nurses without an initial patient assignment. "

From the Boston Globe

Union officials don’t buy the argument that Tufts doesn’t have enough money to give its nurses better wages, benefits, and work conditions. They say that nurses deserve to be paid more competitively and that improved staffing would help the quality of care.

Tufts nurses walked out of work Wednesday for a 24-hour strike. Tufts plans to keep them out for another four days while using temporary workers.

https://www.bostonglobe.com/metro/2...spital-care/hzA91N942qxwNMK33GMpNK/story.html


Why would the hospital resort to locking the nurses out, when the nurses insisted on a one day strike ?

More than 100 members of the striking Massachusetts Nurses Association made a symbolic effort to return to work at the Tufts Medical Center on Thursday, but they were rebuffed by security as the first nurses strike against a Boston hospital since 1986 turned into a lockout expected to last into Monday.


Thr union says it is seeking increases in pay and staffing levels, but both sides deadlocked over another key issue: retirement benefits.

The hospital wants nurses who still have pensions to move into defined-contribution plans, similar to 401(k)s, that would save the hospital money. The union has fought to keep the nurses’ pensions.

https://www.bostonglobe.com/metro/2...ical-center/tFS9IAPvlpH3Das6SoLi2I/story.html

Hospital spokes person was really nasty about the strike. Accused the nurses of a trying to return to work, as a publicity stunt.

How else, would the nurses let their patients, and the public know that the nurses were not being allowed to return to their patients ?

The CEO is paid a million dollars. Pension ? Perks ? Benefits ?

These nurses are an inspiration and I am proud to see them making a stand and sticking together.

It is a matter of coping and constant reprioritizing care in a short staffed intensive care unit. I know what it’s like to make it through an entire twelve hours eating my own adrenalin. We survive by teamwork and continuous adaptation on any given shift.

I am fucking tired but I am trapped. I want more money for the labor and the emotional burden, but the reward of watching a person survive the impossible keeps me going back. I know at some point in time a matter self-preservation will override those good outcomes. I will leave.

I wonder what the public opinion is regarding this matter. It’s not about the money. It’s a matter of safety.

those shifts looking back in my mind at the central supply guy replacing one code cart after the other shaking his head, the surgeon calling for a thoracotomy tray, seeing a heart rate on the monitor for a patient on the other side of the unit: 160-120-70-38, just like that we move from one crisis to another.

I can’t be sure why we haven’t unionized but I know it’s something we are afraid to talk about. If a nurse mentions it, some other nurse will say, “shhhhh.” It’s really weird.

they say only new nurses have clamps and scissors, but that's just not true!

Me: Ok.

Me: Always.

Surgeon: Can you manage to find me size 8.5 or 9 sterile gloves?

Me: Here's your Magnum XL's. You're welcome.

Surgeon: Are you fucking kidding me?

Someone needs to keep sweeping the floor underneath you while you work.

What would have happened, if hospital security arrived, before he put his hands on her ?


The head nurse in a Utah hospital burn unit says she was assaulted and forcefully arrested by a Salt Lake City detective after refusing to violate hospital policy by allowing the officer to take a blood sample from an unconscious patient without a search warrant.

Her supervisor can be heard saying: “Sir, you’re making a huge mistake because you’re threatening a nurse.”

With that remark (which happens around the six-minute mark), Payne seems to lose his temper completely, grabbing ahold of the nurse, pinning her arms behind her back and pulling her out of the building as she screams “This is crazy!” and sobs. She continues to ask Payne to stop and told him “you’re assaulting me” and cry for help as Payne handcuffed her and put her in an unmarked police car.

As other hospital officials attempt to reason with Payne, he tells them that the nurse was interfering with a police investigation.

I am anxious right now after watching this video. I hadn't even heard about this and apparently it happened in July?!?

It doesn't seem that security would have been able to do anything to help her because that officer was clearly a maniac. It's so sad because I can see the genuine concern and confusion in her face. It was obvious she didn't want to argue or have a problem, she looked afraid from the beginning. She is brave for standing up and sticking to the policy and doing the right thing.

Here is what I know: she had the Hospital's policy in hand and her Supervisor on the phone. She was not obstructing justice, the patient was not conscious, and she was advocating for her patient, that is her job.

I have never had the police request lab results, or alcohol levels on any patient, and they certainly do not obtain their own samples. NOBODY, is sticking my patient without a MD or Surgeon order. GTFO of my unit.

I work in a trauma unit and I have never seen anything like this madness! In the Trauma Bay, the clothes are cut off and everything goes in a brown bag and is given to the Police but that is the extent of 'evidence' collection.

The health of the patient is priority to the investigation and it's not up to the police to decide what is healthy for the patient.

It just seems so insane to me because we get real gang members with GSW all the time, and I have never seen the Police interfere with medical care, or try to do anything like this.

I have had so many patients with car wrecks under the influence, and they don't even ask about the alcohol levels! It's private medical information and I guess they get warrants for medical records if the patient survives.

Detectives often come in person to find out the status of a patient: critical, stable, or dead because that changes the investigation if they die to a homicide.

Detectives question patients once they are off life support, but they ask if the patient is medically appropriate for questioning.

The patient may have been under the influence and they wanted to know, but the patient was in a burn unit and probably in critical condition. The action of the officer is so out of proportion!

If the law enforcement agency in that town isn't happy with the Hospital policy they can take steps to change the policy: assaulting and arresting the RN is not the way to do it. I don't know the rules but I am pretty sure you can't just go into a Hospital and handcuff a nurse and arrest her without cause, he didn't even tell her what he was arresting her for.

I wonder what the outcome of this will be?

i need to keep sweeping the floor, it's dusty.

All I know is that I always followed the head nuse's orders when I was dating her.

It's so funny because someone at work used the term head nurse just this week.

"Who is the head nurse here?"

It was funny because my friends stared at me and I just replied, "Hi, I am the charge nurse today, how can I help you?"

And we were laughing for hours.

That's funny. When I worked in the hospital we had a special stash of 9 gloves for a 6"5 neurosurgeon. His arms were so long the scrub would cut a pair of cuffs from on an 8.5 to put over his gown on his wrists. He was hilarious
