1. We will be short staffed when Full-Moon
“We are short of staff ” Nurses say about full moon. It’s just the way it goes. Someone will more than likely call in, or we will just be short-handed for the amount of patients that walk through the door!
- The unit will be full.
This is almost a guarantee. If there is a full moon the night before a shift (or the night of your shift), every single room on the unit will be destined to be full. And there won’t be a lot of discharges. - We will have 10,000 admissions.
And again, every room will be full. If you’re a labor nurse, this means that you might deliver a baby in triage, or worse—in the hallway, with a curtain. Been there. Done that. And the worst part is there’s no.stopping.it. - Everyone will be jacked up.
Like seriously jacked up. Sick-sick. There’s no way to intervene your way out of this one. - There might be a code.
These are the days we just cross our fingers and pray. - Something crazy will happen.
Something super our of the ordinary will happen. Maybe a patient’s family member will get into a fight. Maybe the patient’s family member will pass out. Maybe you’ll have to call social services on ¾ of your patients. It’s just the way the day will roll with a full moon. - We won’t get a bathroom break.
Our bladders can spasm, but we won’t be able to even think about a bathroom break. - We’ll be lucky if we eat.
I’m shocked we’re not all skinny… - All hell will break loose.
Grab onto your seat folks, it’s going to be a crazy day!!
