By explosion I mean every resident on all of our halls (minus a few) are having diarrhea, MASSIVE. I'm talking you lift the sheets up and there is a pool of stool inbetween their legs.
I obviously have a strong stomach to this stuff, otherwise I wouldn't be in this field, but it's the time it takes to clean up one diarrhea resident that is stressful, not the actual diarrhea itself.
The past two days i've been having to start my last shift early and STILL end up going overtime, even THEN I have to leave without finishing everyone because the nurse tells me just to leave and don't worry about it.
I have to clean about 14 residents, a little over half of whom have diarrhea which can take up to 30 or more minutes to clean because I have to keep going back for another bag of wipes and do a complete bed change on all of them, and I had a couple make an accident after I change the sheets and before I put a clean diaper on.
Have any of ya'll experienced this? What do you do to make sure you finish everyone on time?
