A day in the life of a nurse practitioner
The life of a nurse practitioner is a unique one. Enjoy this peek what it’s like working as an acute care nurse practitioner – in GIFs!
Step 1
When you realize you are working with that ‘less than friendly’ doc
Getting morning sign-out
Oh, by the way, census is full
45 seconds into sign-out, the admission pager goes off
Arrive on the unit and realize your fav bedside nurse is working
Hey remember that really stable patient you were told about… yeah… they’re not so stable
Refuel
Code blue… *on the other side of the hospital*
I’d really love to go pee…
Trying to find a computer to start progress notes…
When someone is trying to bully you into doing what they want
I’ve lost my stethoscope but know it’s nearby…
The family 3 seconds after they demand to speak to the attending physician
Maintaining your calm while a surgeon yells calls you an idiot for not knowing something
How the nursing staff reacts when you put in transfer orders for the oriented and abusive patient
Waiting on the night shift to arrive…
Running for the hills after sign out
Good. Night.
Abso-frakkin-lutely HIGH-larius!!!!!!!!
