To make a VERY long story short, I received report on 6 patients I was to have for the remainder of the shift. The nurse lost most of his information on the patients....he didn't give 3/4 of the patient's medicines today....he left me to do a transfer with no patient information....4 out of 6 patient's had not received pain medicine that they needed due to surgeries....one was left in pee for a few hours and to top it off he was looking up stuff on ebay on the medicine cart computer.
Okay, I'm usually a very upbeat individual that likes to spread peace and love wherever I go...
however when it comes to my patient's I am VERY protective of them.
I was LIVID...
I knew I was mad especially when half of my co-workers that have never seen me mad were backing away from me while I vented in the breakroom.
No one....and I mean NO ONE deserves to be treated that way ESPECIALLY when they are sick in the hospital.
Grrrrr!!!!
Okay, I'm done.....
