Day 6: 2016 Nurses Week Meme Contest

Published

Nurses deal with a variety of patients everyday. Today's image depicts a very calm setting of a nurse and her patient but looks are often deceiving. Her calm demeanor carries through even the most trying of times.

Sure I'll check your temperature for the hundredth time this shift since I don't have anything else to do-said no nurse ever!

It's bad enough I have to do this at work...

"Still a touch warm. Is there anything else I can do for you? I have the time." Patient declines additional needs, except for the extra pillow under feet and chap-stick and to plug in their cell phone charger.

(Nurse casually walks out of the room noting temp of 104.5 deg F, checks PRN meds for antipyretics, page dr, retrieve antipyretics, casually walk back into room with a smile, greets patient, administers acetaminophen/check vitals/pull back blanket to cool patient, speaks with doctor...etc.)

You would not believe it but underneath this calm demeanor is a super fast sharp computer mind rapidly assessing your every VS and body system rapidly making the best decisions, treatment, and plans for the shift to take care of your every need. One glance can tell me if you are in immediate trouble or doing fine for now...

How I take your tempura is directly related on how nice you are !

Now put this under your tongue,

No...under your tongue,

Sir...under your tongue,

Please! Under your tongue!

Ok. Time to get the rectal thermometer.

His skin looks awfully white. Maybe I should check his BP (and mine too as a matter of fact).

"under your tongue, no teeth, wrap you lips on it", (subconsciously I'm thinking I got to pea, I need to catch that blood before air gets in line & have Secretary send for next unit, I need to do that dressing change next door , I need to order potassium per protocol since bun & crea. were good & I need to make night shift assignments). 98.6 THANK YOU.

If you hit that callbell one more time, I'm going to shove this where the sun don't shine sideways.

Please let me enjoy these five seconds of silence, then you can continue to list your allergies and tell me your pain is a Ten.

I don't really need to take his temperature again, I just really need him to stop talking for a minute.

Sometimes taking your temperature is the only way I get you to shut up. So yes I have to take it again
