5:15am alarm
Getting ready for.....
Arriving and realizing that you're working with all of your favorite coworkers
Looking up a good patient assignment
Or realizing it's gonna be a rough shift
Trying to get report before coffee
Convincing your confused patient to take their medicine
Trying to carry everything you need into a patient's room
Charting+phone calls+Doctors+Call lights
Snack in the break room
So. Many. Call. Lights.
Trying to understand the doctor's orders
Getting the hard stick IV on the first try
Trying to eat lunch in between phone calls
When your patient comes up with a question for the
doctor five minutes after they leave the room
When '"that" patient decides to leave AMA
Cdiff
Walking out of a room of a patient with colonoscopy prep
Getting an admission with 42 medications
and they don't know what they take
Your patient with a cold being slightly melodramatic
Walking out of an isolation room also turned up to 80 degrees
Keeping your opinion to yourself as a patient corrects
you with information from WebMD
Reminding all nurses why they chose nursing
End of your shift
