they have called at least 4 times begging for help........
Sigh....we are going to get beat up AGAIN tonight. Hoping this is not the new normal.
When you walk out of report and there are 5 security guards outside of one of your rooms.When EMS rolls up with a pt who is having a stroke.
When you hear over the intercom: "Type A Trauma 5 minutes out" and you are the first scribe for the night.
"type A" trauma? What is that? Never heard of that.....
and "scribe" ...??
When you walk in and the ER is calling report on patients and the rooms arent even cleaned yet..
that's a bad day? That is what we always do to the floors. The room is assigned, not yet clean, but we are *told* to call report NOW. What you don't see is how we are bottle necked in an ER.... only so many nurses but the patients keep coming.... so what do you think is the best solution??? Sure, management could come in and help during a crisis to relieve some patient congestion in the lobby and take hallway patients or open rooms on the floor...... BAHHHAAHHHHHAAAAA!!!!
