having a bad day? maybe this will help

Published

:typing

I recently got a patient that had come from the nursing home. The paramedics were told ( by the nurse sending the patient to the hospital) that he was unable to obtain a systolic blood pressure but did manage to get a diastolic one. :chuckle

I later relayed this to my supervisor at the hospitaland he brought it to me!:yeah: I kept it in a bag in case we need it sometime, we know just where it is.:smokin:

Additionally, my patient had been obtunded since noonish, and was sent tot the hospital at 1840, but a quick check of her medication reconcilliation, showed our dilligent nurse had given her all her meds, even her trazadone!:banghead:

Huh? You kept what in a bag just in case? I'm confused.

And exactly what does this have to do with having a bad day?

How about you try working in a nursing home before making a judgement call. I find your post very confusing and insulting.

:DHmmmm...read this one if you think this post is funny:

"I've also seen some people post on this very site, posting things that don't make any sense with horrible grammer and exhibit no intelligence whatsoever... yet they're nurses. How the hell does that happen?" https://allnurses.com/general-nursing-discussion/level-of-intelligence-417892.html

Maybe the person who posted this worked too many hours, didn't drink her coffee, and didn't proofread! :yeah:She'll probably wake up tomorrow morning and think what the #*$) did I post?
