Nurse Sides (Grey's Anatomy/ Scrubs)

Grey's Anatomy Version:

Who: I am Kevin Young a 28 year old nurse. I went to UCI for nursing and I feel like I have a lot to live up to because everyone in my family is in Medicine. I grew up wanting to help people, but this isn't at all how I expected it. The 48 hour shifts are insane. My sleep schedule is insane. I feel like I'm going insane. Also I don't want to read too much into what relationships I think might happen at work. Like with my boss' boss Jesse. This is the kind of work that makes me feel alive I can't screw this up. I feel like this is my second chance at having a career and to live up to the expectations of my parents. I don't really have many friends except for my best friend Alex who lives in another city.

What: I'm trying to help Jesse to figure out what is going on with Dr. Thomas and Mrs. Ramsay. Jesse's patient Mrs. Ramsay was supposed to have a c-section because of the nuchal chord complications. Dr. Morgan ended up delivering the baby while Jesse was busy.

Where: Seattle, Washington. I work at Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital where my parents have also been residents and I'm just a nurse.

When:. 1:38 a.m. I work the night shift at this hospital. My day starts at 7 pm. I am 6 hours and 38 minutes into work.

Relationships:.

* Jesse-. Dr. McSteamy. Prior to me starting work at the hospital we hooked up once because the night before I started work here I went out to a bar to forget some of the stuff that's going on in my life. It's complicated though because he's not just my boss, but he's my boss' boss. I also thought we had some sort of chemistry still since we are sometimes still flirtatious.
* Dr. Thomas- Chief of medicine at Grey Sloan Memorial hospital. I'd describe him as blunt. Looks as though he's been through war and back.
* Dr. Morgan-. Jesse's rival. Definitely looking to get ahead. Bossy, brash, and some might say arrogant. Would like to be the next chief for the labor and delivery surgeons.
* Mrs. Ramsey-. One of Jesse's patients that upon arriving to the hospital was found to have nuchal chord complications. There's nothing to be done about it except perhaps the C-Section and we told her not to worry. It unfortunately did not dissolve upon delivery, but it appears that things will move forward as expected.

The Days events

* 7:. I was relieved from my night shift it is Monday Morning. I walk outside to my car and the sun is already out it is pretty brisk outside. I start up the heater in my car and then drive home.
* 730:. Back at my place I reheat a Jimmy Dean breakfast sandwich (I still like having breakfast at breakfast) and decompress with some tv. I don't want to get too hooked on anything I'm still pretty beat.
* 8:. I still am not totally sleepy yet I stay up on my phone. Kind of start to get some other stuff done like brush my teeth wash my face shower.
* 9: I'm in bed where I'll stay for like 7 more hours.
* 4pm: Maybe I'm still getting used to the night shift thing. Feel kind of groggy. Maybe I shouldn't have stayed up that extra hour. It's already dark outside which is a little depressing. I go and drink some water. Watch some tv and play on my phone while I jolt back to reality.
* 6pm: It's already time for me to go back to work... Great. I get myself dressed. I'm already starting to feel like I'm running short on time because I only gave myself an hour.
* 7-. Back at work again (I got there at like 638 because you change into scrubs there). I check my patient assignment. First up today is Rebecca Connor. She did have nuchal chord complications, but it doesn't seem like there was an enlargement. I go to find the off going nurse Michael to report to triage to see if she is ready for labor.
* 8-. We are doing an in person report because she's awake right now and can help us with it.

I do a full assessment.

* Listening to her heart/lungs
* Palpating her contractions
* Checking her swelling, reflexes, and asking her about any symptoms she’s been having (like nausea or vomiting)
* I check her IV lines to make sure they are working properly and look at her IV pumps if there are any
* If she’s got an epidural, I also assess her sensations and ask her how it’s been working.
* Assess her pain from a scale of 0-10 and ask if there is anything I can do right now to help her with her pain
* 10.. Repeat for patient Angelica Ramsay.
* 11.. I finish working on her charting to make sure everything is moving according to plan. She actually goes off to the delivery room since Jesse wasn't around Dr. Morgan

Midnight lunch break.

Repeated process mid charting for another patient at 138 McDreamy comes by.

Actions; To update him. To charm him. To correct him.

Goal: To make Jesse feel that I'm competent. That I am enough.

Obstacles: I might have messed up. Dr. Morgan got to deliver the baby instead of Jesse and maybe I should have warned him.

Scrubs Version:

Who: I am Kevin Young a 28 year old nurse. I went to UCI for nursing and I feel like I don't know anything or what I'm doing. I someone got here and I'm still figuring it out. I grew up wanting to help people, but this isn't at all how I expected it. The 48 hour shifts are insane. My sleep schedule is insane. I feel like I'm going insane. I feel a little chicken when it comes to doing my work. The resident physician's are scary. I'm scared trying to figure all this out by myself. Back at home I have to deal with watching my grandpa who I watch.

What: I'm trying to help Jesse to figure out what is going on with Dr. Thomas and Mrs. Ramsay. Jesse's patient Mrs. Ramsay was supposed to have a c-section because of the nuchal chord complications. Dr. Morgan ended up delivering the baby while Jesse was busy.

Where: Culver, City California. I work at the New Sacred Heart Hospital

When:. 1:38 a.m. I work the night shift at this hospital. My day starts at 7 pm. I am 6 hours and 38 minutes into work.

Relationships:.

* Jesse-. He's the most intimidating one of all. He was the first doctor I met and I screwed up royally when it came to making a first impression. Ever since then he asks that I don't talk in his presence.
* Dr. Thomas- Chief of medicine at Grey Sloan Memorial hospital. I'd describe him as blunt. Looks as though he's been through war and back.
* Dr. Morgan-. As Jesse has referred to him he is Satan. He seems perfectly nice to me. He always has a smile on his face. But, there does seem like there's something else going on behind that.
* Mrs. Ramsey-. One of Jesse's patients that upon arriving to the hospital was found to have nuchal chord complications. There's nothing to be done about it except perhaps the C-Section and we told her not to worry. It unfortunately did not dissolve upon delivery, but it appears that things will move forward as expected.

* 8:. I still am not totally sleepy yet I stay up on my phone. Kind of start to get some other stuff done like brush my teeth wash my face shower. I make sure my grandfather eats and gets everything he needs. Prep a pot pie in the microwave that he can heat up for lunch
* 9: I'm in bed where I'll stay for like 7 more hours.

* 5pm-. I have to make my grandfather some sort of dinner which I also eat. Tonight I did fish nuggets from trader joes.
