I left the Floor to become a Lab Tech. Some have told me that i was killing people now. Because i did this. No i worked 50 to 60hr in a week. I had half my stuff in the hospital staff room. I did not go home i sleep and ate and drank the bland hospital food. I watched good Dr.s walk out the door because of the Government rules and Lawyer telling them how to be a Dr. And they are now doing that to LPNs RNs. Blame your Governments for the shortage.

Keep calm and carry on.

Phenomenon. I’m guessing you’re either in the United States or Canada. I might be wrong. But I read the United States were once thinking about introducing a Health Care system a bit like the National Health Service that we have in the UK.

The bad news is that when the tax payer is paying for it, and the service is free at the door to anybody who walks in – then it gets abused and the government are always trying to penny pinch, making hospitals run on shoe strings, and understaffed.

No worries. I’m much more relaxed this week. So no picking faults or anything. Hope you didn’t take my barage to heart. But I’m guessing were all watching this video for a similar reason – Because we do the work of 10 people.

Hahaha! I was always under the impression that that MR scanners are full body length. But you’re right it’s just a video, so what ever ;)

Cheers

Also having reviewed the image again – a modern CT scanner is usually built in to a gantry allowing it to tilt. This bad boy shown here looks to be free standing. Suggesting that it’s an MR scanner.

In fact I’ll even stick my neck on the line and suggest that that is a model from the Phillips Achieva range.

Okay it’s just a video. I was joking.

And that my friend is not a CT scanner – it’s an MR scanner. The subtle differences are clear. It’s deeper than a CT scanner, it has a narrower bore, and the table is seated on a trackway inside the bore itself, wheras in a CT scanner the table is suported on a pedistal outside the scanner and is suspended inside the bore. Unless you know of a different type of CT scanner. I’m standing my ground.

I just feel like I have a gun to my head everytime I go to work. I only hear from the bosses if I make a mistake. There is so much to do. I wish the state inspectors would use common sense and realize that all these things asked of the nurses can’t possibly be done in one shift. But they turn a blind eye. Everyone is turning a blind eye but if a patient eventually gets hurt, all of them would rush to heap on the blame.

…That’s a CT scanner FYI.

niabdir | December 8, 2009 at 11:24 pm

that is so true..i just graduated and I can’t see myself working in a hospital anymore. I am considering changing jobs now because I can’t put up with all the crap at work..long hours, heavy workload and no support whats so ever. If ON needs more nurses they also need to support the ones who are already in the profession because they which will leave contribute to the problem.

If there were actually more faculty teaching at the college of nursing I believe there would not be that much of a problem. Students now are limited and only a few get to actually work in the clinical setting since there can only be eight students to that one nurse.
I mean if nursing is something you REALLY want to do I am sure you may get stressed but you just have to stick through it. However, that stress is just going to cause the nurse to make a mistake, hurting the patient in some way.

Let’s cut the college level nursing program, that might help the nursing shortage… duh!!

redmilkcrate | December 9, 2009 at 12:47 am

PRAYER FOR AMERICA….the Controversial Video from Mysterious CATMAN COHEN

“We need more nurses and more burn wards
Fewer actors collecting dumb awards.”

nursing sucks , if my kid came home and tells me she wants to do what i do— its death for her

HenrysWife009 | December 9, 2009 at 2:05 am

16 hours of work almost everyday is aint no joke!

jaxkipi | December 9, 2009 at 2:53 am

I got burnt out after 2 years. Still a nurse, but the shortage is terrible. It’s very sad. Nurses are the warriors of the medical field and we need more of them!

silveNSG | December 9, 2009 at 3:19 am

and with and increased work load and more acute patients the new/grad nurses are getting burnt out faster.

sidhuzbunker1 | December 9, 2009 at 3:57 am
