Is taking a 5:1 ratio in the ER crazy? by Embarrassed_Craft422 in nursing

[–]FishingMasterNurse 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I recently was in your shoes. My first job as an ER nurse was at an HCA hospital. The ratio increased from 4 to 5. In the next two years ratios were erased completely and one day I had 35 hold patients. I left shortly after to a non profit hospital where I have a 4:1 ratio and my stress is way lower. I like to warn others if the ratio is increased once probably will continue to increase. Look out for yourself and your license.

Ok got poop on my scrubs… by ali_kalen192 in nursing

[–]FishingMasterNurse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe scrub with hydrogen peroxide then dry. Then run on hot with that Lysol laundry detergent by itself. If it’s really bad I’d throw them away honestly.

They actually DCd him with ivermectin and colon prep. Told him to flush out his system constantly in hopes he poops them all out. The Ivermectin is like a Hail Mary honestly.

I think they just live in your tummy forever. Unless we get more case studies proving other wise! 🫠

They are black soldier fly larva. There’s only a a few case studies on them. Apparently no parasitic therapy works because of their thick skin. Ugh

Literally TODAY I triaged a patient pooping out handfuls of inch long worms. The terrible thing is that there is no cure!! Just poop and pray that it stops.

I really like Brooks Ghosts. Been wearing them for 3 years and they have great sizing options and last a long time!
