A day in the life of a nurse

Chart my assessment on the wrong patient.

 

My patient decides to start deteriorating when everyone needs to pee and/or needs pain meds NOW.

 

When I’m finally at lunch (at 1400) and someone comes in to tell me something about my patient.

 

Updating the fourth family member on the phone, because apparently no one talks to each other.

 

When I get report on my train wreck admit and tell my coworkers about them.

 

Nine hours into the shift.

 

When I see night shift start to arrive.

 

After I give report.

 

When I get home.
