COVID-19 sucks. It has devastated families, ruined plans, and strained the hopes and dreams of so many people. Being an ER nurse on the front lines of this pandemic in the hardest-hit county in Maryland has taken a toll on me mentally, physically, and emotionally. So I took a step back from EVERYTHING. It was imperative that I took the time to maintain my health. I can't take care of anyone else if I can't take care of myself.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
I don't play when it comes to health and wellness. So going forward, I will no longer be doing in-person, in-gym, or at-home training sessions. 𝐒𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐛𝐞 𝐡𝐞𝐥𝐝 𝐨𝐮𝐭𝐝𝐨𝐨𝐫 (𝐰𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐦𝐢𝐭𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠) 𝐨𝐫 𝐯𝐢𝐫𝐭𝐮𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐮𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐥 𝐟𝐮𝐫𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐧𝐨𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐞. Stay tuned for the reopening of my calendar next month!⁣⁣
⁣⁣
In the meantime: wash your hands, 𝘞𝘌𝘈𝘙 𝘈 𝘔𝘈𝘚𝘒, and.. for the love of God.. practice social distancing! 💖⁣

In my ER, it's 𝟒 𝐩𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝟏 𝐧𝐮𝐫𝐬𝐞. If you have an IMCU patient (not sick enough for ICU, but too sick for the regular floor), your ratio should be 3 to 1. If you have an ICU patient, your ratio should be 2 to 1 or 1 to 1, depending on how sick they are. One night, I had four patients: 1 sepsis, 1 hyperglycemia, 1 fall with minor head trauma + slight amnesia, and 1 urosepsis with altered mental status. As soon as my sepsis patient got orders to go the the telemetry floor, their blood pressure 𝐃𝐑𝐎𝐏𝐏𝐄𝐃, and didn't respond to the 3 fluid boluses I gave them 🤦🏾. So now my telemetry patient is an IMCU patient. Guess who has to remain 4 to 1 when she should at least be 3 to 1 b/c there wasn't enough staff to take one of her patients: 🙋🏾.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
, I wish you were there that night to titrate the vassopressors and check their BP literally every 5 minutes 𝘈𝘕𝘋 keep the urosepsis patient from pulling out their IV and cardiac monitor cords 𝘈𝘕𝘋 give more insulin & fluids to the hyperglycemia patient whose blood sugar was still way too high so I could get back to my Spades game.. 😒⁣⁣

I think I'm finally at the point where I can stop referring to myself as a new nurse lol. I feel like a semi-pro 😎 lol. Cheers to that!⁣
