Another one bites the dust......Nurse Kevorkian strikes again!

Published

number four of six expired recently..........i think it's going to get around in the cancer centers, "if you need home health, make sure you don't get that nurse tazzi......"

i left my first hospital job-oncology-because of just that. i went to ortho where our code cart grew dust bunnies year in and year out.

i know now that i could never work hospice or onc. the actual deaths don't bother me, lord knows i've dealt with enough of them in the er. it's the nursing pts and their families to that point that has taken a lot out of me.

At least you are probably good at the paperwork by now. I have never been on the dying patient merry-go-round myself but it is just the luck of the draw. I have known many exceptional nurses who have gotten the angel of death label after a run of deaths. The black cloud is bound to lift soon and just think of what a great resource you will be for the next nurse who has a run of celestrial discharges. Don't get hooked into thinking it's something your doing. Last time I checked it was a much higher authority that decides when a persons time is up. If you ever get put in charge of this sort of stuff e-mail me- I have a few requests.

I haven't had to deal with the paperwork after death except for one of them; all the others I transferred to Hospice.

"In charge of this stuff"??? :rotfl::rotfl:
