we say "7 o'clock" around these parts.

Sure, the patient herself is still worth saving. It's the entangled and contaminated lines that need to be replaced. Start fresh.
(Also, glad to see that your electric is back on. )
at 147 pages, this thread has a serious lack of boob pix.
not putting pressure on anyone, but ladies... your popularity *is* at stake.

One of my favorite "regulars" died at home this week. He was only 29.
The first time he came in, he had been completely bed-bound for over a year. I helped the physical therapist get him into a wheelchair for the first time. He panicked, and choked me. By the time the PT pried his hands away from my throat, the blackness was starting to creep in along the edges of my vision. I felt bad for him.
By the time he discharged 30 days later, he was spending most of the day in his new, custom-made chair, and even wheeling himself around the unit. He liked to play catch and listen to Elvis, and he had a wicked sense of humor. He was supposed to come back at the end of the month for one of his twice a year "tune-up" visits.
As with so many other developmentally disabled people, there will be no service. This post may be the closest thing he will get to a eulogy.
Today I rocked on half sleep. People were talking to me about their personal lives, and I was all like: I really don't have a clue what you just said. I am utilizing every single neuron I own to manage patient care.
I started fresh: I ripped down every drip line that was not labelled.
sorry to hear
I am so sorry.
He's was blessed to have your care. I'm sorry for your loss.

I never knew that the developmentally disabled usually didn't get a service. No eulogy.
That makes me feel sad for the entire human race. I thought we were better than that.
I always wondered how many times a day the hands are washed. I always wash because I don't like the sanitizer that we have. It takes too long to dry. I use the big jug of lotion that sits at the nurse's station. I can't remember the name of it, the hospital provides it. At home I use Queen Helene Cocoa Butter Creme, or whatever I pick up. I try everything. I also get manicured about every 12 days, it helps with the cuticle control.OK, it's getting to be that time of year again. Dry air + cold + hand hygiene 486 times a shift = BAD. So, how do you keep your hands from cracking and bleeding, or looking like raw hamburger? I like SoftGuard at work and L'Occitane hand cream at home, but I'm always open to suggestions.

Luckily, I don't crack.
Finger cots still make me giggle.
I am SOOOOOOOO mature.
Exactly 486 times in an eight-hour shift. Never varies.
Hmmm, maybe I should try the manicure route. My cuticles are always cracking and peeling in the winter. My biggest problem though is the red rashy areas right where the water hits. Burns like fire when I do use sanitizer, and when I shower after work.
I think it would help if our facility didn't use the cheapest hand soap known to man. (Ad slogan: "It causes cancer in rats! And rats are bad!") Some of the employees have taken to bringing in their own soap, but then you have to remember to drag it into every goddamn patient room. I have enough detritus in my pockets at the end of a shift, I don't need to be keeping track of soap too.
That "raw hamburger" look is so sexy. Or maybe not.
finger cots?
I get contact dermatitis from the harsher soaps. Bag Balm works, as does the Crack Cream I posted. Carmex works well on cuticles and stubborn spots.
