We had a lively discussion about this on a recent evening shift.
What really is "old school nursing"? Does it mean you do your job, then do some more, and walk with the fear of the Almighty in you, that you would never think of whipping out your smartphone and talking for an hour?
Do you really think we need the big woman in whites and the "hat" to come back and tell you if you're not moving that you should be cleaning?
Every shift, I'm beginning to think that. I get so tired of trying to figure out if I have everything I need, that I just bring my "emergency pack" into a room, because I can never expect someone to think ahead, or be nice enough to leave anything in there.
Maybe a little less "There, there" and a little more "Get your arse out of the chair!" would be appropriate.
We can only hope....stay tuned!
