I feel like I'm the crazy one

I am a nurse. Today I had a patient that was supposed to be discharged to 'home'. Long story very short, the patient suffers from a long mental health history and is effectively homeless and the mental capacity is just not there.

I tried to appeal to 3 different case managers and the doctor themselves. Everyone told me it was everyone else's fault and their hands were tied.

I finally called my own boss that said that the patient was not appropriate for discharge and they'd figure something out tomorrow.

Never in my 10 years of nursing have I ever had to fight this hard for people to give a damn. This feels like the straw that broke the camels back. I cannot do bedside nursing anymore. I cannot fight every day for resources that are not provided for us.

I cannot make a doctor care any more when they say "Patient is medically stable, there's nothing more I can do." FFS, what?

I can deal with a lot and I've dealt with a lot. I know we can't save everyone, but I cannot fathom when we have someone that genuinely needs resources that we just say "Sorry, you're stable. Good luck!"

I just can't anymore. I'll probably delete this later, but I needed to get it out.
