It definitely illustrates the complexity of nursing. Though when a patient starts having trouble, usually everything else falls to the wayside, at least for me.

Very funny! I feel bad for nurses that are really in this situation though! Thanks for sharing!

Has nothing to do with the nursing shortage, has to do with facilities not staffing appropriately. But yeah, I feel like that most days. Especially loved the "You're supposed to be my stable patient." Isn't that always the one that gets you?
