Just once, I wish MDs had to stay and watch the chaos that ensues when you discharge 12-15 people at roughly the same time in one day. Oh yeah, all the discharges were put in about 4 hours before shift change, with most being completed by 30 minutes prior to shift change. Next shift walked into 10 "freshly cleaned" open rooms and 5 discharges waiting to leave. TOTAL chaos. Every nurse has 5-6 patients with everyone having multiple open rooms. Transfers, admissions from ED, direct admits from MDs were the name of the game for the next 5 hours. Throw in HS med passes, PRN pain meds, assessment needs, verifying ALL the new stuff that has to be done for transfers/admissions, as well as a few rapid responses while we are at it too. UGH! I WISH THEY HAD TO STAY TO WATCH TO SEE HOW WRONG IT IS TO CLEAR HALF THE FLOOR IN ONE SWOOP! Rant over.
