Just a Whine :)

There is no purpose of this other than to whine...

Last night I had 7 patients.

All 7 were incontinent.

3 of the 7 had diarrhea. Frequent diarrhea.

1 was combative and almost fell on the floor multiple times.

Only 1 was alert and oriented at all.

It wasn't a bad night.

But holy cow I am more exhausted than I have ever been in my entire life.

Anyone else have nights like these?

Hi MelBel!

Im sorry that you had such a bad night.

I hope that everything goes well on your next shift.

Oh my, that sounds horrid! I work in critical care and have only 1-2 patients but there are nights when all 8 patients on our team are pooping or crazy and I'm exhausted by morning.

Get some rest! :sleep:

I hear ya.....although, when even 1-2 are incontinent but the others are with it and demanding...it can quickly become hard as well.....the night the 90 yo lady in restraints with a ng tube got golytely....good times....the night the DD patient with a bowel obstruction vomited and the nurse WATCHED....me clean up the room, bed, etc from the doorway....ahhh, what a night, late december 2000 and 3....

I had one night that really sticks out in my head. One word: LACTULOSE. Enough said. :p
