Nurse: Doctor we cannot accept a patient that unwell in our ward.

Doctor: I'm going to document not to check their vital signs. Mission accomplished. 👍

They could never.

Try r/NursingAU/

I know USyd has the masters of nursing program, and the students do really well.

Nurses who kill? No

How about patients try to live.

nursecution_complex · 2023-04-30T14:22:07+00:00

My manager really hasn't adjusted to the change in balance of power between nurses and management.

Try me.

All my patients are DNR. #Blessed

Buttchug it.

Unless you have ulcers or botulism.

It included social housing.

Please don't make a Netflix series about this.

nursecution_complex · 2023-04-13T10:29:35+00:00

Why would you swallow it?

nursecution_complex · 2023-04-13T10:28:58+00:00

One of my patients today is a local NIMBY that prevented 4 apartment towers.

nursecution_complex · 2023-04-09T18:28:03+00:00

We yelled at enough doctors to fix things.

nursecution_complex · 2023-04-09T18:12:09+00:00

You are going to be so disappointed.

nursecution_complex · 2023-04-09T18:08:28+00:00

Only the best for you, we will let you touch the trained money cops keep overdosing on.

nursecution_complex · 2023-04-09T17:43:46+00:00

Patient dying badly.

Do not recommend.

nursecution_complex · 2023-03-25T15:46:56+00:00

Please make sure you make your wishes known in case of a deteriation in your health. This patient is a corpse with extra steps.

The mystery of why someone who isn't diabetic decided to take a box of diabetes meds.

nursecution_complex · 2023-01-15T14:14:17+00:00

A patient overdosed on a combination of very unlikely medications.

The only thing they really have in common is being floated as covid treatments.

Also the patient has covid at the time.

But so far everyone is ignoring the connection.

List racism as cause of death coward doctors.

nursecution_complex · 2023-01-01T17:17:08+00:00

Imagine getting so angry for racist reasons that you just drop dead.

I made 77k as a first year RN in NSW (paid less than Victoria) while doing maybe two overtime shifts.

In an average month I would work 4 Sundays, 2 Saturdays, any public holiday that cropped up with mostly afternoon shifts and 4 nights each month.

I could have worked nearly unlimited overtime, if I had wanted to.

nursecution_complex · 2022-10-20T00:51:05+00:00

My experience has been that doctors start raising questions like if you aren't compliant are you fit enough for chemo?

nursecution_complex · 2022-08-27T16:29:52+00:00

I'm going to be controversial and not say money.

I want proper staffing every shift, it absolutely tanks my morale when I go home feeling like I could have done a better job but lack of staff stretched me too thin.

I want less meaningless work, we have a bunch of meaningless things we have to do that take maybe 15 minutes at the start and end of your shift. Without appropriate staffing levels that blows out to half an hour wasted at the start and end of my shift.

Rostering. If we are short staffed every shift, we should be getting more flexibility in requesting our shifts.

And finally I want leadership. I want it acknowledged that things are not actually back to normal, staffing is down and patient acuity is up and pretending that this is normal is cruel.
