Hit the nail on the head

This could have easily been the theme of my week this week.

1. Yes, slacker coworker, when you sit in our weekly meeting and chart, instead of participating, you look like an idiot. When a patient with a LOS of 25 days and you really know NOTHING about him or her and they are your assigned patient, I only have one question. Why in Hades didn't you read THE CHART?! 

I know, rocket science...

2. The boss finally decides that the hallway consults are causing issues with continuity of care. Yes! That only took a year to convince him/her. We shall see what happens...

3. Thank you jo at Head Nurse for the link to this Suzanne Gordon article. Yes, communication is vital, and lack of it is deadly.

So far no Ebola in the Hotel Rehab and our specialty docs like it that way. We will keep praying it gets contained.

It's one souvenir from Dallas I'd prefer not to get on my next connecting flight.

Stay tuned...
