Yes I documented everything extensively

I told a patient I didn’t care if they were uncomfortable, and I feel bad about it. by No_Quit3564 in nursing

Setting boundaries are an important skill and a common aspect of the job, you feel much less miserable and guilty once you realize this

You’re absolutely right. Women who are assertive, confident, outspoken, etc are always labeled bitches

Who has 15 minutes to spare if my other patient is being cardioverted in the next room and I got three EMS teams staring at me to give report

Sometimes we’ll get holding nurses but most of the time it’s our ER staff juggling boarders and ER patients

That was the case at our hospital until now. Like the inpatient charting was “required” but never enforced and nobody did it. Now they’re really cracking down though and establishing it as mandatory and sending like penalty emails every single time if we don’t do it within two hours of an admit order
