“Why do and how can we trust putting
our lives in the hands of Nurses” is my curiosity question. I went just for a
basic article for my first post. The NY times gave me an article By Theresa
Brown, RN called “A Nurse’s Very Bad Day” July 22, 2009, at http://well.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/07/22/a-nurses-very-bad-day/?pagewanted=print.
What does this have to do with my curiosity question?
When I picture
a nurse and their day on the job I think it’s hard. Nut this article told me
how hard it can really get. As I was reading this I thought to myself “not just
any average Joe off the street could do this job”. She just keeps moving on
even after a person died, I guess that’s what happens in hospitals. People die and
more sick people get entered into the system. I felt like she was running the
entire place. I know she was understaffed, but I pictured her as like the head
coach of the team. Demanding and spitting out commands, left and right. This RN
took up a lot of responsibilities and hit them out of the park for a home run. Even
though she talks about how the other nurses have had these very bad days, it’s
got to be another thing entirely to experience it. Also at the end of it all
why can’t she break down a cry like a baby? Is it because she is a girl? Not to
say bad things about girls but females are more emotionally inclined to cry
then guys. I’m sure after one of these days I would just want a cold drink and
a comfy chair. But how does this article fit with my question? Because I would
bet a million dollars that she went right back to work next shift. Like I said
not anyone can be a RN, it takes a very strong willed/minded human being.

I find this blog to be a small bit interesting because it does talk about a rough day of a nurse. However I really think that this blog is lacking any really information. You stated that she had, had a bad day with one of the patients dying and that was a good thing to include but you did not really add anything else that showed that she had a bad day. Or even more than that you focused most of this blog around the fact that she took control of the situation and did an absolutely great job at it, however you did not explain even one thing that she did to control the hospital and the other nurses. Such as if the other nurses where not doing their jobs or not doing them correctly and she had to be in control of them to make them do it correctly. This is why I really think that this blog had potential but it ended up falling rather short from what you could have made it. Like you put into this blog her status at the hospital which was “RN” but for people like me you should have put a description into the blog so that the people who read your blogs fully understand it. I hope as I read the other blogs that you have done that they have more evidence and less just random stuff that is not backed up.
