Your rant sounds like many I have had as well, not about the nurses as much but residents, interns etc. Im so glad I found your blog, it's a great read!Andi, On Call RNhttp://oncallrn.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2001774126643348163.post-62420182513167271322010-05-13T14:53:00.974-07:002010-05-13T14:53:00.974-07:00WOW!

The two most important days of our lives are the day we are born and the day we die. Neither of which should we be alone ('course the first would be difficult to be alone... hummm) Anyway... you're right - it should have been done BEFORE you! I promise to make sure you have a happy dose of MSO4, if every that time comes, if you'll do the same for me - let's hope that is not ANY time soon! Don't change the way you are - and thank you for not letting him die alone or in silence. MelUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17282476685368735612noreply@blogger.com
