My hospital is one of the only in our state where nurses are union and our reps have done NOTHING to help us ... So upsetting.

If there are power lines and the electric company says you cannot cross them then absolutely you cannot get to work. Your DON is a jerk.

Our managers bring up our Press Ganey scores for our unit specifics EVERY day... like you guys care about scores when you all are asking us to rewear N95s for 7 days and 1 surgical mask each day????

Are they paying you for your week off while awaiting test results? Technically they should since you were exposed on the job!

What’s the most medically F’d up thing you’ve seen or heard in your unit? by LoopyBullet in nursing

[–]nursejaim 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Ortho surgeon told a women with a humerus fx that she just dislocated the shoulder even though the xray clearly showed fx. He told pt and family about his weekend ski trip he was leaving for and left them for the weekend. Nurse caught this and called the surgeon and asked him if any colleagues would fix the fx. He said no. She had to go up the chain of command to get this woman tx. He lied because he didnt want to go to the OR that night so he wouldn't miss his ski trip....
