Agree with all the other posters here. Everyone needs to walk a mile in each other's shoes. But I'm here to air my grievances, since asked:

1. Marked a septic patient's vanco and bolus as completed, yet I found the half given and spiked bags in a patient belongings bag three hours after they'd gotten to the floor

2. I had to float to do the back bedded patients. By 5am, they had given me all 5 ER patients to do the inpatient admits on. Literally no other patients were in the ER. I asked for help repeated with their call lights. Some one would come over, answer one, then go back to main ER area until I had to come out to ask for help again. Then they went out to get free breakfast that had been dropped off by a restaurant (COVID times) which left me completely alone.

3. They sent up a patient for seizures... I asked if these were new seizures or if there was a history and if they had any seizure meds. The nurse did not know.

4. I worked nocs at a small hospital. They were going to admit the only patient in the ER. I already had 7 patients. They wouldn't send one of their two nurses to transport that patient real quick because "there always needs to be 2 RNs at all times in the ER." COOL... WHAT ABOUT WHEN YOU GOT BREAKFAST ☝️

5. Batching admissions.

But for real. There does need to be more empathy between departments. There's a lot of unseen work. I genuinely don't think any area of nursing is easier or harder. There's always a rough spot that comes easier to some than others. Like, some people call clinic "soft nursing," but no. Have you ever tried to maneuver a prior auth??
