typcially throwing nurses under the bus.....clearly the more patient load the more stress the nurse is under because every single task that housekeeping , respiratory therapy, or physical therapy or the pharmacy doesn't want to do, you guessed it, it falls on the registered nurse....

walk your patients, mix their IV drugs, start their IVS, give them breathing treatments and administer inhalants, and don't forget to change their beds and wash out the commode...

we had great respiratory therapists and physical therapists where I worked but they come and they go....they are not responsible for the well being the patient at all except for the brief times they see them which indeed is brief...

I have had the good fortune that my docs like me (so far), because I minimize manageable symptoms. But they are not supposed to discriminate. Mmm, how’d that happen?
