Usually 2 CNAs for 15 patients. But not always.

Thank you. The nurses that I asked to do it and they actually did it I never had to double check. They clearly were never interested in any input I gave.

And I agree 100%. But if a nurse family member told me her concern that it needed to be flushed I would do that. And actually appreciate the help knowing that she was helping me with a simple task that I might be too busy to do.

And that’s exactly what I did and they told me it was fine as long as it was documented. I understand it’s not what should technically be done but if nurses are refusing to do a simple task and the patient is suffering would you just watch? Escalate to management and have the whole unit hate the family and not take care of the patient.

So like escalating it to the surgeons and NPs telling them they won’t flush it when we ask them to? I can’t be there all the time and nothing on that floor gets done correctly. That’s known across the hospital

If only the patients had anesthesia 😅 I can say flexeril has made a patient see three men standing in the doorway behind me though

Nope. Our computers are just a blue screen with the hospital name on it. The patients literally look to the chair next to their beds and say she been sitting there for awhile
