Unbelievable that a patient on a Neuro floor can complain of a headache all night and day and nobody is concerned. Sad 😞. We have to also remember some of these doctors are new as well and afraid to call their attending’s. But me I’m not I will call any time of any day. But this is me as a experienced nurse. I have been in those shoes one too many times as a new nurse. I always listen to my gut.

Great point! It was a Neuro unit and they all chalked it up to her being drug seeking. I don’t care anymore either, I’m calling the attending if I can’t get what I need.

As an experienced nurse of 17yrs Med/Surg, Stroke, I unfortunately, know all too well of how we as nurses try to be an advocate for our patients, just to have concerns fall on "deaf ears" to the providers. Working night shift can be even more frustrating, and I have many times had to be straightforward with the providers to listen to my and my patient's concerns. Not one time, out of the many that I have pushed for a need for closer evaluation or concerns of decline, have my patients not needed it. I believe, in addition to the sterotypes that are placed on patients, the providers have also been burned out and become nonchalant. I just completed Acute Care Np school, and vowed to never ignore my patients and nurses concerns. Thanks for sharing!!

I'm a Novice nurse and IDC who's feelings or egos I hurt, but my patient comes 1st. If the attending, supervisor or charge isn't listening or being helpful, I call patient advocacy next. From my point of view, a lot of attendings/providers believe that us nurses MUST have loyalty by not escalating issues. Where is my loyalty? Them ignoring the issue I'm presenting leaves room for my license and my day and attention to my other patients being at risk doing unnecessary tasks trying to resolve the issue.

I agree, our job is to advocate for the patient. I became a nurse at 37, so I had a good amount of life experience behind me, had learned to speak up, and to admit when I was wrong.

It is of value to remember the 20 or more symptoms that would require a person to go to the emergency room such as pain, un-relieved pain, bleeding, a fractured bone, confusion, change in consciousness, etc. A baseline /patient assessment must always be established. We must not let racial or gender disparities cloud our judgment. Listen to your patient. Document like hell because if you didn't document it you didn't do it. Remember most PA's have less experience than a RN. With experience, a nurse will be able to put to put the pieces of the clinical picture together. Case studies and continuing education are an important part to this process. Great learning experience.

Novice nurses are often frightened by the doctors, like they are gonna rebuke me or what, but no, tell them what you want to be done for your patient.

Thank you so much for sharing these stories. It’s so important that we advocate as a patient or in your case as a nurse to really be able to get the true help we need. I had a scary experience myself with a physician assistant in urgent care saying I had a blood clot and my blood pressure was so high I needed to go to the er but I could drive myself. I was trying to explain my blood pressure was so high because of the pain for weeks for this injury. I ended up driving myself to the er with my young daughter because he wouldn’t listen. I explained in the er what the physician assistant had said but I felt he was wrong. The doctor in the er said no the symptoms don’t line up so he took an X-ray and the way I was swelling and the pain was it was explained that it was a very bad high ankle sprain and I was put in a boot. Because of a past experience with an injury and pain medications I knew I was at risk for becoming dependent so I made it clear I just needed a few to get through a small hump so I can tolerate it. The doctors were very understanding and gave me a shot for the pain to combat it immediately, but only six pills so I could get through the worse of it. By the time I was able to get to see the specialist within a week I was in a lot better state with my pain and my blood pressure had stabilized because I wasn’t put into more stress.

Because the doctors really listened closely, heard me out and my concerns I was truly taken care of but cautiously which I really appreciate to the day. It has given me a sense of relief but I hate to think what could have been the outcome if the nurse or doctor wouldn’t have truly listened to me and thought I was drug seeking because of what’s happened in the past.

Absolutely! Too often some are quick to judge. I see it all the time. We have to do better or else patients will be harmed.

@@KendraRN exactly! I have had a few bad run ins with medical professionals and have had some amazing ones. I just make sure to caution others because I hate to see someone not properly cared for. It’s literally life or death in which I feel every little difference needs to be observed like you mention! Keep up the amazing work!

I went to an emergency for deep pain, and I didn't have family. These people ignored me and left me in the room. I try to stay out of the hospital if I can as a black woman and overweight.

Girl I wouldn't be surprised if the charge nurse you had brought your concerns up to was a novice nurse herself with the way things are run in hospotals 🤷♀️🤦♀️ I'm like seriously the charge nurse wasn't even concerned with that poor woman's pain? Pain that intense is always a fed flag! 😞
