Adrian Broberg

Night nurse for pediatric patient (12 year old girl) who was a chronic trach

and peg patient since birth. Only able to stand with assistance. Occasionally needed oxygen and was always on a humidifier at night. Incontinent about 80% of the time. Alert to herself and her immediate family and caregivers. She was able to communicate at times through use of an iPad, although her neuro deficits were great enough most of the time that she was not alert enough to communicate effectively.

This was a very large Covid specific intensive care unit. Very busy at times with nurses taking as many as 4 intubated, paralyzed, proned patients a shift. Actually so busy at times we were working with Air Force Reserve nurses who had been activated. Contract was finished successfully after 2 extensions.

Mixed ICU, medical and surgical together. They did some heart surgery, most head surgery was transferred to another facility. This is actually the only assignment I ever had that was cancelled before it's scheduled end date, although I was on my 4th extension for this particular assignment. Cancelled because census dropped when covid started.

General adult ICU, 10 beds. No specialty surgery here.

Four bed ICU, critical access hospital.

Busy intensive care unit, 18 beds. One of the most dangerous places I've worked, chronic understaffing with the ICU doctors delegating most of their work to their nurse practitioners.
