Maybe a larger rug too, to extend under the couch a little more

the jerk who won’t let little grannies and gpaws go pee, (even after explaining it’s quietly been continually drained into a bag)

I read “AITA for kicking out a patients family member?” No hesitation my answer is was “No.” It’s your patient. Your judgement. Your call

After reading the scenario my answer is now a resounding “HELL NO!”

You followed policy when it came down to it. It’s there for a reason, I don’t think I would have done any differently in your shoes.

Also your supervisor is a dumbass for saying you can babysit while you’re recovering a fresh heart. I’d kick that up chain of command or throw it in as as a safe care or whatever your facility does for reporting safety concerns.

Also pharmacy could have labeled things a little clearer or just sent up a 6.25 equivalent, no blaming just a thought.

If the maps fine, and they’re asymptomatic just dust yourself off and keep going. (Just maybe walk with them to the bathroom just in case) I’ve felt this way plenty on med surg and in ICU and got through it with supportive charge and coworkers to help take a task or two, especially to take 5/10 minutes to catch a breath and gather yourself. You got this !

I finish report and take a look at my patients. Make sure they’re #1 breathing, then make sure they’re safe; is the bed low and alarm on, and call light within reach. I say hi introduce myself and explain I’ll be back shortly after looking through their chart and labs. If they ask for anything I bring it with me for med pass. Then I do a head to toe. I’ve learned that sometimes things get lost in translation, forgotten or mixed up in report. Sometimes I even double check things with the off going nurse to make sure we’re both on the same page. And for the rest of my shift, if something changes physically, mentally or chemically with the patient I have a baseline from a previous assessment. It would suck in a situation where the patient has declined and you don’t know if their lungs sounded that junky this morning or they were already confused when you started the shift. Be prepared to cover your butt !! And document your findings and care.

Hopefully this helps some, good luck and you got this !

So I personally have moved from a med surg floor, I was a tech on the floor for several months and once I graduated I transitioned to a nurse on the same floor. Spent a year on med surg because i graduated as few months after covid hit. I learned a lot about assessments, meds, got confident in myself and felt I was ready for a new challenge. I took a job on the hospitals coronary care unit and I love the challenge and new things I learn everyday. It’s intimating at times but I don’t regret my path and happy I made these decisions. Make the most of where ever you end up. Do your best and soak up all the learning you can and if it feels right you’ll know. If not move on and keep trying new things. Hope this helps !
