Name that nursing task.

My thoughts exactly!! Would love to be able to give a nice leisurely bath and take that time to talk to the pt instead of having the CNA do it. Kind of jealous of CNAs at times.

Our CNA's are too bussy too... Often even more so, than we are, if that's even humanly possible. Darn staffing anyway :angryfire

I love nursing but I don't have the time to be the kind of nurse I want to be.

So so true. I couldn't agree more.

I love nursing (well, being a cna) but I don't have the time to...

re-adjust your pillow and hand you your water sitting right net to you (pt. is completely auto...) :rolleyes:

Sit and talk with my patients instead of trying not to seem rushed to care for them and hurry to my next patient... :crying2:

change the tv station when the remote is in the pts. hand

be yelled at because the hospital cafeteria closes at 0300 and your hungry at 0430 and don't want what we have in the unit fridge...

keep coming in the room to replace telemetry patches when you pull them off to get attention...

I have the time (most shifts anyway) to give a short back massage (promotes circulation, feels nice, relaxing before bed, less skin breakdown...) but not give you a full blown body massage... :rolleyes:

Too busy to go to the gym on a regular basis..... sheesh.

I was going to say this one except mine would be, go to the gym "at all". Also too busy to get those FREE massages they offer us as a benefit at work. Can you believe that? Also too busy to:

1) sleep 8 hrs on my days off

2) keep up with the laundry/housework/cleaning

3) eat right. My eating habits have gone down the toilet since I started nursing! It used to be salads, ice tea, fish and broccoli, now it's a Snickers bar and soda at 3am. Gah!
