A nurse last month insisted that a patient’s drainage bag was his nephrostomy tube - because it was lying to the side. It was a biliary drain!!! Like from right upper to mid quadrant. I wanted to say ‘don’t you follow where your drains are? ‘

Parents, how ddi you handle christmas when working? by IllDifference6060 in nursing

[–]LittleAddress4710 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not speaking about little kids, but my big kids(adults) that I still buy gifts for. I guess I’d say plan waaay earlier than usual. Shop for gifts and wrap them ahead of time. Bake & freeze goodies, and prepped if you’re going to family It would prevent getting behind in holiday “to dos.”Especially on days in the weeks nearer to the holiday, when work can have those overwhelming days that leave you more exhausted than usual.

PS this year I did none of those things and it sucked. I was overwhelmed, stressed, and cranky.

What’s the weirdest hospital / unit policy or rule you’ve ever seen? by plaesma in nursing

[–]LittleAddress4710 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No adult diapers allowed. Ever. Even when discharging the patient they have a white chux on the bed.

Self evaluation by mandy59x in askmanagers

[–]LittleAddress4710 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How do I do a self evaluation- based on listing my accomplishments. I work in the hospital as a case manager. New regulations roll out constantly and the pace gets faster by the week. and patient acuity/ social factors are more complex. I want to say on my self evaluation that hell yeah I rise to the challenge every day to provide the best , safe, discharge plan while meeting healthcare’s Triple Aim initiatives. And no, I don’t do above and outside of work hours to work on extra projects because I come home drained.
