at war with the VA nurses
i don't know how many of you have VA hospitals at your program or what your va nurses are like but here they suck. the nurses on my floor will be so glad when this month is over because every day i have to get after them for not following my orders and for why none of the lab work i ordered is drawn yet or why the EKG's i ordered at 5 in the morning are not done yet. since everything is on computers including orders i always send the nurses condescending text orders with the order sets that i fill out to let them know i have ordered something and that they will have to stop checking their email and actually follow my orders and get it done by the time i have indicated it to be done by. only two more months during this year then i will be done with the va forever. i'm looking forward to the next 9 months when i will be at the university hospital where the nurses are pretty good. at the conclusion of this rant against va nurses i want to include for your pleasure that i had a patient named harry bunn. what parent in their right mind names a child that.

Probably the ones that have the symptom of RECTAL BLEEDING.
We had a pt. on our medicine service last month named Jack Bauer, like the guy on 24. The guy was too old to get the joke though. About nurses, it's funny how they say they're so busy and have so much to do, yet every time I turn around, they're sitting around, chatting about their dog or their latest weekend adventure.
