Mistynurse

I saw this one on a long-term care note: Patient is pleasantly psychotic. :chuckle

Hi, I work at a large teaching hospital. Our telemetry units are divided into postop CABG, med-surg telemetry and a unit that does the majority R/0 MI, post-op cardiac cath. I work on the med-surg telemetry, 22 beds, all tele, days ratio 4-5/1 nurse, evenings 5/1 nurse, nights 5-6/1 nurse. We usually have two nursing assts on days and evenings, one on nights. We do not pull our own sheaths, however we do get alot of patients from other hospitals with sheaths in waiting for interventional cath.
