The Jerk Nurse

So, I won't name names, but Nurse M. from PCU is a schmuck! I can't stand this woman! She embodies incompetence! She was rude and inconsiderate both to me, her coworker and to the patient. I ask you this. After a patient finishes puking up his guts into an emesis basin, do you think he wants to think about eating more? No. Why offer him something? Perhaps he absolutely needed to have something in his stomach, and I don't know those mitigating circumstances. I've had run-ins with M before. She tried to do capillary blood glucose test from a patient's earlobe. Ok, but the protocols explicitly state that under NO circumstances is this to be done! Finger ONLY! Since the earlobe wasn't working, where should you turn to get blood. From the fingertip like you should? NO!, but from the forearm! Yes, there are plenty of veins and arteries in the arm. This, however, is a CBG, to be done from capillary blood. The moron tried 3 more times, and undoubtedly the 1 mm lancet barely pierced the dead skin on the guy's arm. Since she struck out, she finally resorted to following procedure, and what do you know? She got blood! WOW! Can you imagine? If you do something the way you should, it should turn out the way it should!
