WHEN THE PATIENT DOESN'T LIKE THE WAY YOU LOOK

[@pembrokelove]

But the real question is why Rich didn’t chart the insulin. Or why Ben didn’t check the chart. This is why we chart as we do - sometimes someone runs off for emergency sandwiches, sometimes you give a patient their insulin and immediately suffer a heart attack; either way, the next nurse (especially in a hospital) wouldn’t just go grab some insulin randomly and give it.

[@CrazyAsianDude]

As a pre-med student nurse. The three checks of drug administration should always be done. Check the doctor's order when, how, and why the medication is prescribed. Next check the Medication Administration Record when it was first and last given. Then lastly check the medication in itself. Would you need special nursing considerations or responsibilities? (Ex. Monitor blood glucose through hgt) Gather information about it. Most likely in a MIMS or any drug handbook. But some registered nurses don't do that anymore. Being complacent that they already know the medication and why is it being administered. Which leads to issues like these.

[@user-mw6jo7ql1c]

It doesn’t matter how old someone is as to how experienced they should be. After all, doctors and nurses who barely pass still get to be doctors and nurses. Many of them are also arrogant and egotistical, so they refuse to do the necessary steps because “they know it all”. Veterinarians are no exception either. I had a veterinarian who was incredibly arrogant and conceded, and bc of that, assumed that he knew everything when he clearly didn’t. He , therefore, did not diagnose my cat’s hypothyroidism when I had voiced concern about her low weight, despite her eating normally. She went years without medication, all because he said that she was like that because she was just old. A different veterinarian told me that my other older male cat had dementia because he peed outside the litter box, AND I had informed him that he got regular uti’s, which was clearly stated such in his chart. Male cats also often end up with persistent uti’s after having had just one. Even I knew that. I insisted on lab work. He seemed surprised, and told me that he did, in fact, have a uti, but that it was just “coincidental”, and he still insisted that he had dementia. SMH. I reeked his ass. I “politely” informed him that as a veterinarian, he SHOULD know more than his patients’ “parents”. I then refused to allow him to see my cats anymore. I saw other veterinarians within the practice. “Surprisingly enough” my cat got better on the medicine and stopped peeing outside the litter box. Imagine that. 🤦🏻‍♀️

I've had the pleasure of working with an advanced degree registered nurse who was dangerous with a Band-Aid. She was always trying to find fault and I believe get me fired. One day, the charge nurse gave the diabetic patients their morning dose of insulin. Later on that morning, breakfast was served but one of the patients refuse to eat. A nursing assistant came to me and notified me of the patients refusal to eat. I instructed the nursing assistant to try a couple of Lorna Doone cookies and some orange juice which was accepted by the patient without incident. When the advanced degree RN found out, she went nuts carrying on about how the patient was diabetic and cookies should never be given to someone with diabetes. She then then hopped on her oversized broomstick and flew directly to the director of nursing's office to report me. She was mighty pissed off and quite Huffy when the director told her that was the proper treatment to avoid a hypoglycemic event and was protocol for patients receiving insulin but having no food intake to compensate. D. McC. Ba. RN... you dizzy spitful woman, I hope you didn't end up causing anyone serious injury or death over the past 35 years since I last saw you.

[@priestof1s]

I always believed that the young ones may not have the hands on experience but are fully up to date to all the modern everything and probably in depth too. So either way it's good, I tend to like the younger ones. They haven't turned angry or jaded like alot of the doctors have and they honestly do care. Seen a old doctor literally ignore not just me but ALL of his patience to try and pick up this young girl that wasn't just way out of his league she was on a higher universe level. So much out of his league he shouldn't have even tried. Poor girls, even I fell in love with a bunch of them and words starting coming out of my mouth and I just couldn't stop. They must be so tired of it. No matter what they get paid, they deserve so much more. Not just for that but I have been close to cashing out and been in when clinics held me, refused me to drive, and had ambulance take me, I habe been in lots of trouble. Nurses are not just healers but they are a source of comfort in a weird way and always so polite. I never liked visitors but enjoy their company when they are able to give it. They are genuinely good people, it's in the marrow of their bones. Think about it. I work with the public and the public is evil on every level. They not only choose to work with the public but train like crazy to do it. Then they have to put up with us when we're total ass holes and deserve a fist in the mouth. They still keep smiling and moving on. I remember I had a terrible year, everything always went wrong and one as working 18 hour days m-friday and 10 15 hour days sat and sun. All my emoyees sucked and I basically fired everyone but the backbone of my company and God bless him covid was to strong for him. I had to.abe surgery and this poor little girl was in the operating room. I went off on her bad, then it transitioned to another girl, and I wouldn't stop. I remember feeling shocked, embarrassed, ashamed, and tried so hard to stop but I couldn't. I tried to get up and go to work and got held down. I just couldn't stop. Then in the end she rolled me out to my ride when she should have done some medical thing that would have caused me great and immeasurable pain. She never did, she was as pure as rain. Happened a long time ago and I feel the same amount of horror at myself. These people just can't get paid enough regardless what they are making. It can never be enough.

While my position in health-care was only signing people in, I got the same thing. Well, I get it everywhere, but especially at a hospital.

Older employee trainee "Actually she's training me."

[@marshhen]

Over 3 long years of chemotherapy and other treatments I always made an effor to be patient and encouraging with nurses in training. Often just putting in the IV was a challenging experience (my veins suck) so they would often get flustered. I really tried to hide it when I was in pain because I wanted them to get it done and learn. I saw myself in the big picture, training has to happen, everybody cannot get an experienced nurse. Patients have to understand we are part of a health system that needs to do on the job training. I was just grateful they have chosen the profession and I am still grateful for them all for caring for me and saving my life.

A few actually killed people. I always say that if you go to the hospital, bring someone with you to advocate for you if you can. Just to ask about what meds you are receiving, what the dosage is etc. There were nurses who forgot to chart things so they were done twice, nurses who gave people 1000 times more of something than they should have because they didn’t understand the metric system, and nurses who forgot critical steps in procedures.
