In the ER on a gyn/abd pain, UNDRESS PATIENT

I about threw that chart across the room. How about looking at the patient before you write stupid orders.

We have a doctor who writes all his orders STAT, thinking that the nurses will respond quicker. His order today - Dulcolax 2 tabs PO STAT!

We had a physician write an order on a patient who was in for an extended period of time, longer than origianlly planned, and who was becoming depressed with her progress. This physician wrote "patient must view comedy tape for 1 hour three times a day to help her laugh."

first day on the floor i was a student nurse. Doctor asks me to draw up morphine to be given IV stat. I explain that I can't do this as I am a student and need everything double checked signed etc. He says i forgot your a slug. of course i'm mad and hurt. report to my clinical instructor who of course is now having kittens. I'm more upset. when she finally gets control of herself I learn that slug is student learning under guidance. funny now not then
