The Nurse Life

Welcome. 

One has to pee.  One is demanding pain meds, now.  One is hypertensive.  One is deteriorating.  One just crapped everywhere.  A doctor is rounding. A family is calling.  A transporter is waiting.  And pharmacy is on the phone. when the doctor backs me up to a patient who refuses to listen to me when we’re elbow-deep in a code brown, run out of wipes, and I have to hold the patient up while someone runs to get more when I say goodbye at the end of the shift to my patient that loved me after I give report to the floor on my complicated, mean, and labor-intensive patient running interference for the docs whenever I can’t get the IV pump to just. stop. beeping! me after report
