I have no enthusiasm for this job. The Nurses are nuts. It’s a bit difficutl to explain this, but this all stems from one intubated patient who was not given appropriate sedation or restraints. Any other hospital I have worked at has wholly endorsed both sedation and restraint. Here they say, “Oh we just watch them, and if they pull the tube we reintubate.” Getting a tube pulled can seriously damage the vocal cords. and beign on a vent is a severly anxiety producing situation.
Grrr.
Now my only focus is to finish, somehow attempt to get a reco from one person (Still focusing on the fliratious male nurse) and get the heck outta dodge!
