My Tuesday was insane, too! First time on day’s and I ran, but it was fun. It started slow with my two stable patients, but then again patient coded, so I attempted to help with that. They saved him, then I ran around helping everyone from drawing blood, turning, and assisting with an MD cauterizing nasty skin tags. And then the patient coded again. During the code, my manager asked if i would walk around the unit to make sure everyone was ok (since everyone else was in the room). As soon as I walked out, the nurse next door frantically told me to go get suction set up and an intubation kit and to call RT! so then they intubated THAT patient.

But the craziest was when they had no option but to give me a 1:1 assignment. My manager did not want to, but she isn’t allowed to triple me. I had to give my patient away (other had been transferred) and then learn all about the rotoprone bed for about 2 hours until we brought the patient up from the open heart unit. Look up Rotoprone bed kci, crazy shit~~

I have a funny psych story, ask me about it!
