How can? How!!!? How?!!! This is the only word I could think of below is a conversation between a Doctor and a “certified” nurse please remember the word CERTIFIED. The doctor called out the nurse on duty.
Doctor => “Nurse, please, how is my patient? Nurse=> “Fine, Doctor,” said the nurse.
Doctor => “What is the blood pressure?” Nurse-> “90/40 mmHg, Doctor.”
Doctor => “Oh, okay; what is the pulse?” Nurse=> “150 per minute.”
Doctor => “What is the temperature?” Nurse=> the last time it was 39 degrees.”
Doctor => “Seriously and yet you said he was fine? Nurse=> that’s how he was handed over to me!”
Doctor => A few minutes later, she called me back and we had the following conversation: “Doctor, you know your patient? He is gasping for breath!” “Okay,” I said, “I am nearly there.” A few minutes later, she called again. “Doctor, we lost your patient!”
Nurses are supposed to be angels of mercy. Whereas doctors show empathy, nurses should display tons and tons of compassion and care. But, patients, relatives and doctors have all been complaining about our dear nurses. The complaints have focused mostly on bad attitude, crudity and poor nursing ethics.
It seems that there is a flaw in the education and training of the current batch of nurses
Lies, lies and more lies
A nurse on night duty in one of the top hospitals went to sleep, leaving the patients to look after themselves. Sadly, an elderly lady died during the shift, unknown to the nurse. Hours later, the nurse woke up. She then proceeded to damage control by falsifying the clinical notes.
Failed school of nursing
Retired nurses and actresses were hired as staff by the desperate head of a school of nursing, to populate the school, during an accreditation inspection of the school.
Now I know the nurse deserves to be blame but please go through the conversation again where was the doctor the nurse called out twice and yet he was still on his way let’s be realistic.
