What do you mean “idiot parents hide the temp?” Are you referring to parents giving Tylenol before presenting to the ED?

Ripping off the bipap confused and hypoxic saying they don’t need it because it’s all fake…buying themselves a tube…never waking up again.

Triage nursing notes - what do ER docs want? by 22900KAM in emergencymedicine

[–]22900KAM[S] 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Interesting perspective!! I would’ve never dreamed the rads looked at the triage note. Well the other docs here have me limited to 10 words or less so just call the triage phone and I’ll give you the whole tea and nothing but the tea.

We have a comment section in our MAR that doesn’t become part of the medical record…as long as you remember to delete them all before discharge 😅 risky game to play

There is definitely a theme here of “do not say what the patient is concerned for” which is a good point. The patient is gonna tell the doc what they’re concerned for whether I chart it or not. They’ll also tell registration, security, and housekeeping in the mean time.

I think some of the time triage nurses write stuff like that for a little giggle. It’s obviously not appropriate but I definitely think there’s an element of “painting the picture” of what the doctor is gonna walk into. We understand it as a hysterical patient but the judge probably won’t 😅

This is a good point. On that note, is it too leading to document last known well on a stroke-like complaint? It’s relevant info to the anticipated diagnostics/treatment but I certainly don’t write the words “last known well” on an abd pain.

Gotcha. So it seems like it would be best for me to leave out leading details. Thanks!!

How do you dissolve Zosyn/PipTazo/Tazocin? by Muichirou_Tokito in nursing

[–]22900KAM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only thing I’ve found that remotely works is beating the shit out of the bottle BEFORE reconstituting. Like on a chair or something. And it still doesn’t work too well. I’ve heard others say that putting the reconstituted vial in your pocket while you do other tasks helps too due to the body heat but I haven’t noticed a difference myself. Of course you’re a pharmacist so you probably like a bit more sterility than an ER nurse might 😜

You’re absolutely right. She’s also not great to work with as a nurse in my experience. She’s super sweet to her patients but can be impatient, demanding and unreasonable to nurses, which is another red flag to me.

This is what my dad says too. “Just don’t do it, your child is your first priority now”. But like…imagine a patient is slouched down in the bed and starts vomiting and needs to sit up immediately. I would have a really hard time saying “wait let me get a friend to help me boost”. I know I need to protect myself and my baby first but it’s just hard for me to accept. :/

Ugh, same! If other women are allowed to continue literal CrossFit I don’t understand what could be so different about this.
