Stuffed and Wrapped Chicken Breast

I make this last night and it turned out awesome.  It was from allrecipes.com!  It may now be a weaver favorite.  I swapped yellow onion for the green onion and turkey bacon for the bacon and it tasted great!

You’re Either in or Your Out

I walked into my patient’s room at the beginning of the day and it was like any other room, Patient Controlled analgesia, chest tubes, dressings, IV fluids, monitors and all.  Except something was different, something that a nurse must look past and put on her non-judgmental caregiver face for and treat him with dignity and respect.  Apart from the two correctional facility guards and the handcuffs that kept my patient in his bed, I had a fairly normal day.  How do you respond when a criminal wants pain med, how do you respond when the criminal needs help to wipe his rear cause he is in so much pain, how do you respond when the criminal is thirsty and needs a drink, like every other patient.  Get him some water, give him the cleanest sheets possible, make sure the pain med is given on time, because I may be the only Jesus he ever knows.

Rectal Suppositories…

Enough Said.

And you want me to do what?

Dr.’s Order:

4 oz. Mag Citrate

tap water enema x1 now, repeat at 2000

10 mg dulcolax at 1700.

This order should tell anyone that my patient is clogged up.  He has more poop in his GI tract that anyone cared to deal with.  Guess who had the privilege of cleaning him out, yep me.  So my preceptor and I stuck a tube up his rear end and let the tap water flow in and what do you know, poop lots of poop.  Green, formed, soft stool.  Hooray for the joys of nursing, I think my patient felt a lot better after that.
