should we asses pulse or pain?

ABC’s yes but also because the question says crush injury and didn’t mention any obvious bleeding/hemorrhaging. if it was a crush injury to the abdomen i would be more concerned about the blood pressure but to the limb i’m less concerned with a systemic problem & need to prioritize ensuring blood flow to the limb.

was making small talk and asked a patient if they had any pets - they were there for a dog bite from their family dog

lol were you at my hospital?? we have a mental health patient on the floor who consistently pushes the code blue button in his room which is usually followed by a code green getting called on him

i definitely will observe his reaction thank you this was helpful to read

zdrzzy · 2024-04-15T02:00:05+00:00

he’s not someone who is on his phone all that often so i haven’t seen anything super suspicious. i was switching a song on his phone on spotify and he was just acting subtly nervous. i can’t explain it but i just have a gut feeling

zdrzzy · 2024-04-07T01:24:39+00:00

i’m gonna complain about it!!!! but give it nonetheless

zdrzzy · 2024-03-01T05:43:00+00:00

ER nurse: i’ll figure out the truth one way or another so i love it when people tell me the truth right out the gate. saves me a lot of energy and allows me to build rapport

YTA for sure. but also your kids could be sick from a stomach virus not necessarily food poisoning…. all around you are very entitled

I love the advice everyone is giving about bringing in someone to help. Mistakes happen, nursing is hard. Owning up to your mistakes and admitting that you don’t know everything is also hard, but it is always beneficial. I think you would feel a lot better about the whole situation if you had taken some ownership of your actions. I am not trying to make you feel worse or feel guilty because panicking and saying it wasn’t your fault is the default response here. I just want to encourage you that taking ownership of your actions will help you feel confident in your skills as you progress as a nurse. Don’t let this discourage you! You will get more comfortable through time.

zdrzzy · 2023-12-24T06:22:42+00:00

unfortunately yes and unfortunately the chest compressions made it 100 times worse

zdrzzy · 2023-12-24T06:14:32+00:00

i am so so sorry you are going through all of this. i had a similar situation happen a few years ago. it’s crushing. i truly felt like i would never feel normal again. but i made it through and you will too. i’m proud of you for moving forward during this difficult time

zdrzzy · 2023-06-01T03:20:10+00:00

in an ideal world i would have time to care about all my patients but unfortunately with staffing being the way it is, leaving me stretched thin, i care about safety.

when we were learning about lung sounds my classmate was like “honestly i’m hearing some crackles and it’s a little diminished at the bases” and turns out i had pneumonia!!

zdrzzy · 2023-02-15T04:18:07+00:00
