Re-post--Is there a NURSE ADVOCATE somewhere???

WHO Advocates for Nurses?

Just another day that makes you go HMMMMMMMMM.......

You go to work and think, today will be Good. Things will go just fine...

Then you find a patient slumped over and realize that syncope may be real...

SO much for that telemetry floor she was going to, as you fight to keep her breathing and not intubate her.... Oh so glad she wakes up and is only a little confused...LOL..

Another life preserved...

Calling for help sometimes is another thing that makes you go HMMMMMM....

Do you take the time or just do what you need to do...And GOD help you if the intercom once again does not work and you have just wasted valuable time...

With Brains and Hearts...Time IS Muscle....

Anyway......
LMAO

HMMMMMMMMMMMMM.....

So who helps you make it all go the right way...Your charge nurse if you are lucky, then maybe your director, if they are one of the ones who actually will come in and aid the effort to fight off death and the destructive process that many patients suffer from...Is your manager one who will fight the good fight or do they push papers and crunch numbers, not for the betterment of patient safety and standards of care but for the ALMIGHTY BUDGET...

Takes more than sheep to keep death at bay safely...
