Things I wanted to say to patients (and MDs) tonight:
- Sorry, but 6/10 pain that you’re laughing through vs. O2 sats in the 60s and an RRT being called is not really “six in one, half dozen the other”.
- STOP turning off your bedcheck, please.
- Those “facts” your family members are telling you about your IV pain meds? Completely made up.
- I love that smile you shoot me every time you announce that you’re leaving and attempt to yank out your IV. Now please get back into bed, again.
- LOLz at the order “Avoid giving Dilaudid. May have ibuprofen q4-6”. Because hydromorphone and Motrin are totally comparable meds. You gonna come tell the patient that?
- I really don’t know how else to describe Cheerios other than “that little O-shaped cereal… that you ate two hours ago”.
Ohhh, nursing…

Bon Iver is in a tree. ‘Come down!’ I squeal. He shakes his head. ‘I think I’m starting to understand it,’ he says. He presses his ear to the rough trunk and listens.
This is my new favorite tumblr to follow.

So true. <3 Or, some form of acknowledgement from a “difficult” family member, too.

Twenty-three year old music lover and brand new RN. Learning on my feet about what it means to be a nurse, and how to make it on my own. Trying to make the most of things at this weird in-between point in my life, and working hard to keep thinking positively!
