Worked as a nurse administering chemo too , but inpatient ward. I’m glad Ive unfollowed Jemma , she has no idea at all me me me all the time . I understand life is hard for her . Another patient could be reacting to their chemo , as someone posted it’s not a simple procedure , bloods , prescribing , making it up , premeds , the entitlement is unreal , she’s been a wee madman all her life I’d say . god love her next week if the unit is closed for the bank holiday . Queen Jemma won’t be happyI worked in a chemo unit when my kids were at school at it was Mon-Fri 9-5 ....however we were often open way past this time , especially if we had a challenging cannulationwhich is often the case as veins become very difficult to cannulate over time with repeated chemotherapy cycles ,or chemo was late going up or a blood transfusion overran ( you can't just speed up a blood transfusion or chemotherapy infusion to finish at 5!) then we often had to wait for hospital transport to pick up these patients after their treatment had finished and make sure they were stable enough to go home
I lost count of the number of times I had to fly out of the unitoften without having had a proper break all dayin order to pick up kids from after school childcare ( which shut at 6) was the reason I eventually had to leave as I had no family nearby to help out and husband worked away from home
