Things I’m currently obsessed with

- the naturals - I don’t think I’m ever getting over that series

-my legacy save on the sims 4 - no I don’t understand why I enjoy it so much either

- the fact that my honors English class didn’t get the main part of the family tree plot twist in Oedipus Rex

- the fact that school is almost over

- the way home on prime

" just know that i'm always here for you, okay? "

i'm finally finishing up my s2 rewatch and getting to the 24th episode awoke a beast in me. so i wanted to make a fake screenshot based on some of their lore that takes place during that episode. i think they'd end up having a heart-to-heart moment since kuroba went through similar struggles after their grandfather's own hospitalization...

also have a bonus doodle bc i need to even out the balance between serious & goofy with these two.

if all the hospital bills from outsider fics actually had to be paid I'm pretty sure the hospital could fire everybody and work off of complete new technology/robots

Day 11

What’s your most controversial hospital opinion?

Hoo boy.

I'd have to say it's a tie.

First, I'd say that the medicalization of nursing practice was a mistake.

See, medicine and nursing are two different sciences. Medicine treats disease (for example, asthma). Nursing treats reaction to disease (for example, the difficulty breathing related to asthma).

While an RN (Registered Nurse) is technically an independent license (as in, we are able to do our own assessments, create and implement our own care plans without direct oversight or orders), we still can't prescribe. Now that's fine- I'm definitely not saying an RN should have prescriptive privilege.

Because we can't prescribe, though, we need someone with prescriptive privilege to order things like pain medication, nausea medication, bronchodilators, and other things that drugs might do better than available nursing-based alternatives.

The problem is that hospitals tend to require orders from a doctor for things that should be entirely under a nurse's purview. Things like q2hr turns for pressure injury prevention, fall prevention interventions, patient education, and other things that by law don't require a doctor's order, and for which doctors are not well trained. This tends to end with a subpar set of orders related to the nursing care of that patient, and nurses don't really have the freedom to override these orders (or the time to educate our medical counterparts on nursing care to get those orders changed).

Now, there are nurses who can prescribe- Nurse Practitioners (NP or DNP, depending on their highest degree).

So if I ran the nursing world, I would de-medicalize nursing care. There would be a nurse practitioner on each floor whose job it was to manage pain, nausea, discomfort, urinary retention, wound care, constipation, and other things that are reactions to disease that require drugs or other orders to manage. This would free up doctors to focus on things they were trained for, and allow nurses to do what they were trained for, and, hopefully, result in better outcomes for the patient.

Second, and this one probably is more controversial, I think the trend towards single-occupancy rooms in hospitals was a mistake.

Not, of course, because I feel like privacy shouldn't be a thing or that single rooms are too cushy, I just genuinely think the care would be better in a ward-style setup.

Here's the thing. When a patient is in a room alone, we can't see them and they can't see us. They don't know if we're actively taking care of someone else, and we have to go all the way into a room (and all the customer service that goes into going into a room) just to check if a catheter bag needs emptied or if SCD pumps are on, or if one of our many confused patients is trying to get out of bed.

This tends to result in situations where patients feel like they've been forgotten or aren't getting the best care we can give them. It also results in things like food or needed medications being left in patient rooms for a long time because we didn't see it dropped off, and patients who go hours without an SCD pump being on because we might only see them once every 2 hours (instead of a quick check every time we're on the way to another patient).

And finally, while this sounds ridiculous, the size of the hospital floors that are needed to house single-occupancy rooms are a drain on time when time is at an absolute premium.

See, picture you're doing a 12-hour shift and you have 6 patients. That's 2 hours of care per patient spread over 12 hours. That's not direct care, either. Order needs changed or clarified? That's 10 minutes gone. Charting? That's another 45 minutes. Pretty soon you get down to less than an hour to give meds, do all necessary assessments, treatments, clean ups, education, etc... Spread over 12 hours. That amounts to about 20 minutes in a patient room spread over every 4-hour period. Say it takes 30 seconds to get from one room to another. Say it takes more than a minute to walk from the med machine to the room. That time all adds up, and eats into those 20 precious minutes.

Versus if I could have all 6 of those patients laying in beds right in front of me, maybe with walls between them and the option of a curtain facing the hall for privacy, I could provide considerably more nursing care with the same amount of time.

Sorry again for those wondering where I've been! (I will answer any questions given)

Warnings ⚠️ : mentions of abusive

As I've mentioned before, due to physical abusive family circumstances, I left where I lived before, and last week was in that process of moving.

And now i've been in the hospital for several days taking care of my mother. So I've been staying in the hospital with her (so far, it's been three days)

For those who have undergone abuse or are going through it. Trust me when you're able to get away from a situation, take it. I'm 18 and it's the best thing to do.

I offer nachos in exchange for advice !

So the other day, my dad was having really horrible chest pain. Genuinely bad- he wasn’t having a heart attack or anything tho he did describe it as like gas was pressing on his rib cage so

Not fun

They went to the emergency room but they didn’t tell me anything. He went to work that day and was fine when he got home so they must’ve started around 4-6 pm. Sorry if this isn’t enough information to do anything I’m just worried about him T-T

NACHOS!! moots were having a nacho party i have so much now lol

ah im sorry to hear it, chest pain can be pretty scary, glad hes doing better now i hope!

well it is little to go off of and i dont have vital signs or history to reference (bc im neither qualified nor entitled to such information) but from the get go it seems to have been something minor and temporary, like a squished nerve or muscle spasm.

precordial catch syndrome for example is something i get every now and again (from sitting at my desk for too long and suddenly moving) and its harmless (so to speak) and goes away on its own

in the mean time make sure he takes it easy and rests, drink plenty of water and balanced meals (we still need sugar and salts just not too much or too little) and some exercise that one can maintain goes a long way. take care!

Having a hypo glyco moment got me genuinely crying over SL at 2am because I realized we're never going to get anything more and its 5 year old content so the fandom has largely moved past it. But there never would have been a situation where I win bc I know if I'd played SL back in 2020 when it was current I would have hated it or ruined my degree idk
