I'm on another forum for moms, somebody posted a thread called "What they DO NOT tell you about labor and delivery that you wish they would have"
After reading several comments (some about nazi nurses..) I have to wonder from a nurses point of view what you wish your patients knew before coming in (not just L/D but everywhere)
My number one is: Yes you just had surgery, yes you will have pain, no you cannot lay in bed until it goes away you need to get up and move.
"Comfort care" is does not mean assisted suicide and I will not give dear old "whoever" an extra dose of roxanol just so you can hurry up and get out of here. Yes someone will know... I will know...
Specializes in ICU, PICC Nurse, Nursing Supervisor.
i recommend we put it in all admission packs, above all beds, put on parked cars at walmart and we have it printed on the front and back of our scrubs...
ok, i love this. now how are we going to get this stuff out into the public eye? ideas anyone?
