Just a couple of things you will only see in Oklahoma..ok, that's the only place I have ever seen them. The sign was above the water fountain in a Home Depot. The other picture is of the baseball field at Bricktown with a statue of Johnny Bench. We made the 14 hour trip to Oklahoma to visit with my family and see my nephew who was home on leave from Iraq. It was a nice trip...so good to see family.
I guess sometimes it does help to complain when things aren't going right. I got a call just before I left on my little vacation from my travel company..they said I could go back to the other hospital I was working at and be a tele med surg float over there...hell yeah I took it. I was doing my last 2 shifts at the new place when I saw one of my traveler buddies from the other hospital. I had forgotten that she had asked me like my first day there how it was because she was thinking about coming over there. I had told her it wasn't bad...cuz it was too early and I didn't know. But, when I did see her I let her in on what was happening, then Friday I was with her when she oriented.She somehow got stuck with someone I hadn't worked with before and she didn't have her stuff together. It was also the day they in formed their staff that due to some issues with the flooring ,they were going to close some beds and that they would be having patients in the hallway waiting for the beds of patients that were discharged. Can you believe that crap? You are expected to remove the iv and remove the tele box and give your patient their walking papers as soon as you get the order then, another patient will arrive and sit in the hallway with a little privacy screen around them until the other person leaves...or you could choose to put the discharged pt in the hall or the conference room and have them wait there until their ride comes to get them...hmmm, so much for patient satisfaction. Give me your thoughts...
Non noc nocere.

Wow! The floor could not wait until those patients being discharged left to move the other patients around? I mean, because how long will those people be waiting in the hall?
What I'm wondering is what prompted the staff to make that decision? And also did that end up happening?
The floor did not want to be without their quota of patients while their flooring is being redone...it was all warped supposidly from a manufacturers defect. I did not experience it personally but, I spoke to a nurse who it happened to, she was not happy. The patient was in the hallway for about an hour, yeah, they weren't happy either.
