I’ve been working as a nurse only for a few months now and recognize there’s a lot of unit dynamics I don’t fully understand yet. I work on a highly specialized peds unit where we see a lot of the same kids frequently. There are kids that understandably have a hard time complying and you get little help from the parents. I’ve noticed that these kids almost always have a float nurse taking care of them. It’s hard because on one hand I understand how the unit staff may get burnt out/compassion fatigue dealing with some of these patients, on the other hand it makes me feel sad that they don’t get any sort of consistency especially considering their circumstances. Also makes me feel kind of bad for the floats lol. Does this happen on your unit too and is this typical?   submitted by   /u/Striking_Ant4047 [link]   [comments]
