day 15 in house... going crazy

dsrtsno · Mar 13, 2009

hey everyone, im on the first day of my 3rd week in the hospital, and i am two seconds short of losing my mind. has anyone else noticed that the night shift of nurses seem to have a lack of... intelligence. i just got transitioned into the adult program because "im a good trainer for these nurses and attendings because i wont sugarcoat anything and will tell it like it is" sooo because of that i have 3 signs on door for the contact precautions, 2 signs that say do not wake up between 10 and 6, and still have to cuss people out all day long. anyone have any suggestions for saving my sanity for the next 7 days? id request leaving early because im seriously two seconds short of strangling a night nurse or pca with a stethoscope, but my fev1 was only 60 after 2 weeks and i dont feel like having them drop back to 40 next week. ive read 4 books, written til my hands are sore, colored like crazy, even went out and bought a broadband card on my verizon account because they dont have wifi here... running out of ideas.

hope everyones feeling well... its ALMOST spring... boo for allergies, but YAY for warmth and sun and warmth =)

Well its good that you are able to "tell it like it is" but dont let them take advantage of you because you are able to do so.. Stand up for yourself !!!

Tell your drs you want WRITTEN orders about the night time vitals and whatever else they are driving you crazy about.. IF that doesnt work , request being put back to where you are most comfortable <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">

Have you watched some good movies? I like playing the card game solitaire . You just need a deck of cards and yourself <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">

I dont know if you can get into advanced chat, but if you can some peeps are usually there about 8pm est. The time can fly by in chat <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">

No chance of finishing up your IVs at home?

I hope this next week goes by quickly .. Keep us posted. <img src="i/expressions/heart.gif" border="0"> joni

At MUSC they have standard CF orders on the adult side that say no Vital signs or being disturbed between 10 pm and 7 am.. I didn't request it, it came with my room, Also the only one that comes in my room at night is the nurse to do my IVs and they were so respectful I didn't even know they were there..

There is no reason to be disturbed at night unless your blood sugar or vital signs are not stable...My doctor is amazing, so I hope you have a good doctor and maybe you can talk to your doctor and let them know any concerns you have....if that doesn't work talk to the floor patient care manager, or the patient advocate, your CF social worker, someone, don't quit till you have answers...
