Partner and I are at a hospital for a discharge.I take the report and get all the info, ask if the pt has any iso's nurse says no. I asked again to make sure "You said the pt has no isolations, right?" she says correct. Then my partner even asks, does she have any isolations? nurse again, no. I should add that the pt. we were picking up was sharing a room with another pt.
Nurse tells us pt is on o2 via nc but we walk in the room and her cannula is not even on.
She also tells us the pt is a spanish speaker. What she spoke was definitely not spanish....
So my partner is fiddling around with her nasal cannula, gets it on her, we package her and we're good to go. We get to the elevator and JUSSTTT as we're about to leave,
nurse: Wait! dont leave yet!
us: Why?..
nurse: She has mrsa!
us: ................. you said she has no iso's.........
nurse: (while on phone) I was told just now!
my partner and i look at each other about to strangle this nurse..... partner had his hands all over the cannula and everything..
so we're in there for about a good 40 minutes because the nurse is making calls, going crazy, gets all the other nurses at the station involved.... and on top of that she tells us to just put the pt back on the bed..
we're like are you serious? isolation means u dont put the freakin pt in a room with another patient..
her response was this..........................
Nurse: She was in there all day, what could 1 more hour do right? haha
all the other nurses ended up taking over and told us to put her in a diff room.. we did and left.
dealt with some horrible nurses but this one had to be the worst.
