Anne
I'm a Med Reg in Care of the Elderly....Hi Anne<br /><br />I'm a Med Reg in Care of the Elderly. Our wards are like yours.<br /><br />Our nurses are fab, but they are just hanging on, just in there. They do their best, they work hard, but they are struggling. <br /><br />I feel so sorry for them when I see the amount of paperwork the have to do, to 'cover their back' when they admit a patient. <br /><br />A score for pressure sores, a score for falls, a score for this. No one seems to trust their judgement on how is safest to nurse a patient. Or give them time to nurse a patient. <br /><br />None of the nurses seem to have the engery to stand up to all this rubbish. None of them have the energy to say <br /><br />'This is impossible, I can do this, this and this, but not this, maybe on a quite shift but not today' <br /><br />We need you nurses, experienced ward nurses to stay on the ward.<br /><br />I love you guys. I love the ones of you that stay in a shitty job to care for people. <br /><br />You only see a ward when there is an exeperienced nurse on it - as you are an experienced nurse. I have seen wards when very junior nurses are left on their own. And it's hell on earth. At least you manage, at least you get things done. <br /><br />Thank you for staying. I wish more value was given to ward nurses.Another Medichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15126943934866835640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6277229251527832949.post-48383197898630025382009-07-12T06:54:46.025-07:002009-07-12T06:54:46.025-07:00Superb post !

Th...I know what you mean by the stealth hca thing.<br /><br />The other day the ward had 1 RN and 4 HCA's. "But you have five nurses" says the managers. The fuckers. The fucking fucking fuckers. Anyone who says that 1 nurse and 4 hca is like 5 nurses needs to be shot to death.<br /><br />No, there is only one nurse who will be carrying (by herself) the medications, IV's,central lines, troubleshooting, emergencies, assessments, labs, information, chart checking, rounds, admits, discharges, answering questions from relatives all by herself for 25 patients. If a relative approaches an HCA with a question or request the hca just dumps it on the nurse and goes to lunch. The nurse meanwhile, is in the middle of trying to sort out multiple problems.<br /><br />Meanwhile the hca's (who cannot get involved in any of that stuff) wash a few patients and do a few temperatures and go to lunch. The skip the patients that they don't want to do observations on. Then they come back and do a few (not all) fluid balance charts and then say "oops no time to get the weights" as they are going out the door to leave work on time. They are not licensed. If they leave something undone the nurse pays the price.<br /><br />Meanwhile the nurse stays over an hour (or 4) unpaid at the end of her shift and listens to the consultant scream at her saying "are you too stupid to know that patients need to be weighed".<br /><br />I want the HCA's to wear big letters on the uniform that says "I AM NOT A FUCKING NURSE OR ANYTHING LIKE A FUCKING NURSE"Nurse Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16179750103872489038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6277229251527832949.post-68744236613569274442009-07-11T17:58:23.042-07:002009-07-11T17:58:23.042-07:00Hi Anne - wonder if ol' Beasley and gang ever ...Hi Anne - wonder if ol' Beasley and gang ever look in ? To great fanfare our hosp is rolling out 'the productive ward' nurses working smarter adapted from business. A 'lean and mean' nursing work force conveniently overlooking it's skeletal already.<br />If they could get away with it - the administrators would have computer surveillance of patients in preference to nurses. <br />a bit depressed as RNs seem to be on the road to obsolence.<br />sorry <br />Elio<br /><br />Oncology would be a good move - as a result of the Cancer Networks the RN ratio to patients is better.<br /><br />I am depressed as I see c/o the dying as fundamental to nursing yet being being parcelled off to HCAs. See Marie Curie website. By stealth replacing RNs with HCAs. <br /><br />As for salaries: AfC ha ha ha. We have CNS 90% employed as part time. The public think they have a wacking salary but THEY offer only part time /knowing they will work over and above hours paid for their patients.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6277229251527832949.post-90959218887966911912009-07-11T14:02:06.865-07:002009-07-11T14:02:06.865-07:00Sorry typing one handed because my kid is sick.Sorry typing one handed because my kid is sick.Nurse Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05400048448105519082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6277229251527832949.post-59465110380863149622009-07-11T14:01:39.736-07:002009-07-11T14:01:39.736-07:00Something tells me that most of the horrors of shi...Something tells me that most of the horrors of shitford haven't come to light yet. For that too happen, they need to speak to the bedside RN's. <br /><br />Instead they'll talk to doctors/ consultants who so far removed from reality that they are not on this planet, matrons and managers who will give scripted responses, and patients who know it was horrific but don't understand where the blame lies.<br /><br />They should talk to the bedside nurses.Nurse Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05400048448105519082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6277229251527832949.post-31648465351006315072009-07-11T12:10:34.697-07:002009-07-11T12:10:34.697-07:00What is WITH these people?

Patients and relatives that think they are the only folk in the universe to suffer that problem?<br /><br />To be honest and to talk about my new Oncology ward. The vast majority of the patients are lovely. They don't moan. They just get on with it.<br /><br />Granted I was lucky enough to snag a job at a world-famous Cancer Centre.<br /><br />This is proper nursing. You have time to talk to your patients. Get to know them.<br />The ward has SIX trained nurses per shift and three of those need to have done the Chemo course.<br /><br />Go for a speciality Nurse Anne. Oncology is a good one.<br /><br />I originally worked in the rare speciality of Plastics and loved it. I switched to Oncology only after learning the full horror of Shitford General<br /><br />Let me tell you a tale. A patient who had a ileostomy came back to Shitford with deranged U&E's and what was very obviously excessive output<br /><br /><br />He was pyrexial. Something was amiss. I called the surgeons. They stuck a ryles tube down. The output was huge. He was leaking.<br /><br />I called and called again for the surgeons to assess the patient. Too late they did. The ileostomy was leaking causing peritonitisAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6277229251527832949.post-30405928632719908732009-07-11T11:05:42.074-07:002009-07-11T11:05:42.074-07:00Oh I love your post.
When I said attitude I meant...Oh I love your post.<br /><br />When I said attitude I meant nurses who intentionally harm patients or act rude for no reason. Very very rare are these nurses but they exist.<br /><br />The problem is that patients don't understand when a nurse is in a situation like the one you described vs when they are just being grumpy. The most likely explanation for attitude from a nurse is the fact that you are in a bad situation (as you described). <br /><br />I snapped at a patient the other day. I am not proud of it but I had been 10 hours without food and drink and she nearly caused me to make a fatal mistake with her constant demands for one to one care when I was trying to treat another patient who was going down the tubes. Every time I would try and get to this dying man she was on my back screaming and demanding customer service.<br /><br />I like the kind of attitude that you have and would love for you to be my nurse. You obviously no how to prioritize. If I was crashing and someone demanded a toe dressing I would hope you would tell him to fuck off!! If I demanded a toe dressing whilst you were dealing with an emergency I would hope that you would tell me to fuck off!!<br /><br />I don't want a loved one to have a nurse who stops to kiss butt in the middle of an emergency. What if my grandma is the one having the emergency? But the public doesn't seem to think like me.<br /><br />They don't think about the fact that a nurse may very well have to leave a crashing patient to change their toe dressing. They must think this way, otherwise they would learn to shut the fuck up and behave.Nurse Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05400048448105519082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6277229251527832949.post-693017682423429162009-07-11T10:33:40.468-07:002009-07-11T10:33:40.468-07:00Nurses with 'tude?
I started to develop a bad...Nurses with 'tude?<br /><br />I started to develop a bad 'tude at Shitford General. This was a mad busy surgical ward, horribly understaffed and with some very acutely ill patients.<br /><br />Because of the pressure in ITU we were taking HDU patients all the time. These patients were not really stable enough to be nursed on a surgical ward having had major ops like gastrectomy and oesphegectomy. <br /><br />These patients needed at least half-hourly monitoring. Some had trachys. All had multiple drains, feeding tubes, catheters, stomas and multiple IVI's and IVABx. You might have two of these HDU patients to your twelve-bedded bay.<br /><br />In your bay you might also have recovering colosomy, appendectomy, amputation patients with the usual complement of diabetics and complicated medical problems.<br /><br />I got an attitude all right. One day a patient newly back from theatre after having extensive bowel surgery developed obvious cardiac signs (low BP, tachycardia) and was going down the tubes fast. I bleeped the team and we swung into action.<br /><br />In the midst of the emergency another patient stuck his head round the curtains and demanded I do his toe dressing RIGHT NOW. The Registrar yelled at him to get out.<br /><br />We saved the post-op patient. He went to CCU and all was well. I left that shift four hours late then had two days off.<br /><br />On my return the ward sister pulled me up for not doing the toe dressing, the patient had complained and had said I had a "bad attitude"<br /><br />Fuck him and the selfish horse he rode in on.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6277229251527832949.post-28014101060729346492009-07-10T01:59:44.704-07:002009-07-10T01:59:44.704-07:00Of course none of this means that bad nurses and n...Of course none of this means that bad nurses and nurses with attitude should get let off the hook.<br /><br />It means that good nurses are consistantly failing and that something needs to be done.Nurse Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05400048448105519082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6277229251527832949.post-84474113225407024002009-07-10T01:58:47.227-07:002009-07-10T01:58:47.227-07:00I agree Grumpy.

I don't actually blame the doctors, it is their training and their experience that makes them behave like this. Hopefully as the present junior doctors move up and on they will have a different outlook on nursing, but I am not holding my breath.

TIME TO GET OUT. surely your priority is your 5 year old and not the old people on the medical ward. just walk away and be a good mother instead of a harriden. your husband might otherwise run away to america WITHOUT YOU and you will end up working full time and next thing you know you will be a modern matron and be sucked up into becomming a clipboard.........and YES THERE WILL STILL ONLY BE 2 TRAINED NURSES PER SHIFT!!!!!nurse with screwed up teenagers saidnoreply@blogger.com
