Why MyChart's Making Me Crazy!

I gotta vent about this MyChart madness. I'm all for tech in healthcare, but can we please get our shit together? During my hospital stay, I thought, 'Great, MyChart will keep everything organized.' WRONG. I've spent hours trying to log in, just to end up locked out half the time. Isn't technology supposed to make life easier, not give me more headaches?Docs say, 'Check MyChart for updates,' while I'm like, if I could get in, maybe I would! It's this constant back-and-forth with support, and it's so friggin' frustrating. I just wanna scream: HOW IS THIS SUPPOSED TO HELP ME?!The whole experience makes you wonder if it's more about the tech or about actually caring for patients. Can we get the basics right before moving everything online?This tech isn't helping anyone if we can't even access it without a hassle. #HealthcareCommunicationBreakdown #TechTerrors #PatientFrustration

Why MyChart's Making Me Crazy!

When rules just make no sense!

So get this: I’m working a crazy 12-hour shift in the ER. Barely keeping my eyes open, patients coming in non-stop, and what does hospital admin decide to ding me for? Wearing a damn yellow scrunchie. Yeah, you heard that right. Apparently, it’s “not part of the uniform.” I’m running around trying to save lives, and you’re worried about a freakin’ hair tie? The scrunchie saved me precious seconds not having to fix my hair every five minutes. I thought being a nurse was about, being good at my freakin’ job and not turning into a fashion victim. Just a teeny bit infuriating, isn’t it? Tell me I’m not the only one who gets nicked for the dumbest shit while doing actual important work. #HealthcareCommunicationBreakdown #NurseLife #WorkplaceWoes
