Glen Beck's hospital experience

Greetings Baptized By Fire;


I am careful and never make an uneducated decision when I finally choose the the intervention/s most appropriate to the patient's changing status.

I have always been unable to separate clinical professional assessments and interventions from the psychological support I offer unconsciously, I simply do this while I perform clinical assessment and the interventions required. I will in certain situations ( not during a major life-threating crisis ) include family members: inviting those who are interested and willing to participate in the patient's care when the patient's condition allows this. I encourage them to ask questions, take notes when appropriate, and advise some family members to utilize the internet to help them understand a patient's condition and interventions initiated by nursing and medical, surgical teams.

In the end, you are right, but I was tooo lazy to write this in the last posting. Thought I'd do so now. I realize that there is more to nursing then love, caring and support. Some of our clients have no one else to support them during their hospitalization and surgery..whatever...so its something we all do for those patients who fall into this category.

Education, experience, my relationships with all of those who provide care to our patient population and a passion for this profession is what carries me through my day.

I like you..take care

If Glenn Beck thinks that a hemmrhoidectomy and Fentanyl trip conjure up horror-movie style despair ... he's obviously had a blessed life.

What a whiner.

Here's a silly question. Did Glen Beck actually "write" the article or did someone type what he had spoken? You have to sign in to "hear" the audio and it costs to do that and I'm not that interested. If it were the case that it was him speaking, that would make total sense of the bad grammar.

Just wondering.

I don't work in the ER, but if a post-op patient came into the dept c/o SEVERE pain and difficulty breathing, anxious, unable to sit in a chair--shouldn't he be assessed right away?
