“When the nurses are sitting at the computer ‘doing nothing,’ they’re documenting. In health care, if it wasn’t documented it didn’t happen. That means every single patient interaction needs to be documented, as well as interactions with the doctors, pharmacy, etc.”
“They are expected to be a walking transcript of every medical interaction, on top of delivering meds, catching and reporting doctors mistakes, communicating patients preferences to doctors, dietary aides, performing life saving interventions, and arranging pillows just so.
On top of being expected to work mandatory overtime. We’re talking 16 hour shifts for however long. If you see one laughing, or eating, or sitting, it doesn’t mean they don’t care. They’re just not robots. So VOTE for safe patient ratios, and everything that comes with educational encouragement to staff our failing healthcare system.”
