it is awful how many hospitals are run..it affects the patients and it buns out nurses...and yeah i drink tons of coffee but at hour 14 on my shift with no lunch break and i havent gone to the bathroom in god knows when then my only human body just gives out!!!
as a 10 year nurse in critical care working in short staff hospital i can say amen..and it doesnt have a damn thing to do with poor time management..i am expected to take 3 pt assignments with patients whose acuity would be 1 on 1 in other hospitals...unless you have walked a mile in these shoes you have no idea!!!
@justmekasie it's not about being tired. You can drink all the coffee your big ass can handle.. It's about the fact that 9 x out of 10, as a nurse u are taking on at least twice the amt of patients that you can handle bc of time. There are not enough hours in the shift to possibly do things safely and correctly sometimes. It's hell.
so true...for those of you who are not nurses, we obviously aren't going to tell a patient having chest pain to suck it up because we haven't peed. But if you only knew....
We're so short where I work that I've been working 16hr shifts, talk about an increased risk for med errors. Thank GOD it was only and extra 100 mg of colace and not something else.
since you know so much about the issues,,, maybe you should run a hospital and fix all the problems.... It has nothing to do with money on the nurses end~ its the hospital~
@MsTruthseeker2009 thats what i am saying. i live in the tampa area and have been a nurse for almost 10 years. the last time i didnt leave on time that wasnt a code that happened at 1845 but due to paperwork or something else was right after i graduated nursing school. this is poor time management on this nurses part.
So true! OMG...

This is one of many reasons I am now a funeral director and not an RN anymore. Being an RN was a MISTAKE and was a second career bad decision!
