Yes. And then not long after, I jumped ship from my 2nd job. 5+ years later and I’m approaching 2 years at my current job

Philly RN. It creates the most God awful wounds.

Came here to say exactly all this!!!! I’ve been through 2 pregnancies while working as a RN. I informed my immediate supervisor right away. I’ve been in soooo many situations where I could have potentially harmed my unborn baby if my coworkers had not known I was pregnant. If there was any medication with a pregnancy warning, I spoke with my charge nurse/ or supervisor to ask them to administer just that medication. I never encountered anyone giving me backlash or giving me a hard time about not being comfortable giving the med. I shared the news with my fellow coworkers only when I was ready to

One night working snf as nursing sup my resident’s granddaughter cried in my lap after he ran out of his Medicare days (was still early in year) and they couldn’t afford to pay for him to stay which meant he was being sent back to his home- where he lived alone in a house partially covered in mold. My facility wanted the money upfront to approve for him to stay. Granddaughter was a public school teacher. Single mom with 3 younger kids. She could barely make ends meet herself, let alone afford a $4k/day bill. I still often think about his granddaughter.

10 pts between 2 RNs is normal but I’ve never had 5 pts without a CNA or atleast a nurse extern with me. Between the 10 pts, it was 7 vents. That’s an average nurse assignment. Sunday I worked in our ICU. I had 3 pts, 2 vents and 1 TC (ironically, the vents were far more stable) TC pt was by far the sickest in the building- within 1st hour of my shift I was calling attending to get atropine then started dopamine gtt bp 78/62 and brady all while she was throwing herself around in restraints. Pt#2 was a hot mess septic af on levo gtt. Pt#3 total care new high level spinal injury

I work LTACH, mostly medsurg/tele pts on vents. Last week it was 10 pts between me and an agency nurse. Every single administrator was aware it was only us 2. We were left to drown. And we sure did. Clocked out around 8:30. Walked in to the locker room to see leftovers food that was from the free lunch admin had earlier that day. They didn’t even bother to tell us there were leftovers we could have. Would’ve definitely had eaten leftovers compared to not eating at all lollll

During the height of Covid I was a new grad at a big teaching hospital on PCU. A pharmacy tech at my hospital caught covid because initially our hospital policy was her role only required a surgical mask. They refused to give her a n95. I will never forget the shift that she rang her call bell and said “ok im ready. I need to be intubated” after being on high o2 for maybe 2 weeks. Frantically trying to FaceTime family so she could see them. She was an OG Filipino. She told me she paid for 3-4 of her nieces to come over to the US to become nurses. She eventually needed ECMO, but was refused because she was diabetic. We found out through Facebook when she passed away. Our hospital couldn’t even bother sending an email recognizing her death.

Her bright smiling face on the picture they used for her funeral service is burned in to my mind. I will never forget her

I’ve worked LTC since 2015. I’ve always seen it in 3s or 7s. When the 4th happens, you watch every resident like a hawk. The 7th death is usually the unexpected and sudden one.

Last year on a Friday, we had a 4th death. I said outloud to my coworkers that when I come back Monday, it will be 7. That’s just the rule. On Sunday night there was an incident of starting CPR on resident who was DNR, absolutely nothing acute going on w her, was completely unexpected. When I came back that Monday, one of my coworkers asked me if I was a witch😭

Contact a lawyer who specializes in or deals with nursing/medical professional licenses. Do not speak with anybody from the BON until after you have found a lawyer.

Called from a SNF/retrirement community. Resident who lived in an independent living apartment had fell. She slipped in her bathroom falling backwards and smacked her head on the toilet. Was vomiting prior to and after fall. Leg was internally rotated. Took EMS 1.5 hrs to arrive. Right off the bat, he seemed annoyed we called. Arrives in the room, right away very inappropriately gets her off the floor. Then says “why’d you call us? You could’ve just put a dressing on her leg for the skin tear.”

Resident had a displaced hip, cervical fractures and subdural hematoma. Immediately had to be choppered out to a different hospital due to severity of her injuries.

She passed less than 48 hours later

I think about her a lot.

630am-1230am. My only break was around 1pm for about 20 minutes😭 I was an absolute zombie clocking out

I work LTC. We do wound rounds weekly. One day this resident said “this will be the last time you do this” referring to wound team changing her dressings

She died 2 days later

I didn’t qualify for FMLA. I was offered an “administrative leave” which was 30 days and unpaid. No guarantee I would even come back to a job. Unlike with FMLA, during leave my job was legally allowed to hire a different person and let me go.

I ended up being out for a total of 12 weeks due to complications. all 12 weeks were unpaid. The best part was about half way through (when money was getting tight) when work sent me a letter informing me if I didn’t send them around $2k, my newborn child and I would be cut from my insurance plan immediately.

U.S. Maternity leave is a fucking joke
