Ramblings of a nurse (RPN)
The house is upside-down when I'm on night duty. Hate to see it. At times like these I wish I still lived at home. Mum was instrumental in helping me survive nights❤️

When you just find out tonight that your annual leave that you booked in January for December wasn't approved and they didn't bother telling you.

I'm listening to the Trials of Lucy Letby podcast on Spotify. On episode 4 and I'm horrified and heartbroken. How can the parents of these babies begin to understand and heal from something like this?

Thoughts I have weekly: can I just call in?

My boyfriend let me sleep all day and had dinner waiting for me when I woke up. A nice start to night 1/7 and shift 4/10

I was sitting outside with my psychotic patient and asked if he wanted to listen to some music. He replied "no, there is enough calm outside" ♥️ #nurse

Oh, so we are keeping another out-of-sector patient?

Shift 1/10 in a row. Wish me luck!

A lot of my time at work is spent chasing doctors to do their job #nurseproblems

My patient's breakfast this morning: porridge with sugar and butter, toast dipped into coffee and two small packets of jam 🤢

Day 1 complete. Only one more shift until 2 days off. And then 10 in a row... But we won't think about that!

3 not very good doctors does not make up for the loss of one excellent doctor.

(They moved to a different service)

Was told one of the patients poured water on the call bell button (has pictures of people on it) because he was "feeding the wee men, they are thirsty" 😂

Overworked. Understaffed. #nurseproblems

You don't talk to some colleagues until after they've had their coffee. Please don't talk to me until I've had my lunch.

On this date...

13 August 1910:
At the age of 90, Florence Nightingale dies in her sleep. As a much respected nurse, Florence helped change the world of nursing as she made hospitals clean and efficient and made nursing a respected profession.
