Life Its hard to have compassion sometimes.

badgirl · 03-17-2009, 11:57 PM

I sometimes have certain patients that I start out doing well with, but 3 or 4 hours into the shift I am sorry I cannot have compassion I may need to have. They are the ones who will ring that damn light off the wall I mean every 3 minutes. They want this and they want that, and at some point I will end up telling them "Your not the only patient on this floor, we have 20 other ones who also need our help."

She wanted orange juice so I took her some, then she rang out and said "I can't get this orange juice open" I told her she could open it there was nothing wrong with her hands to keep her from opening it." She said "I thought you were a nice nurse" i said I try to be.

I lose it with these kind of people and only people in the medical field could possible understand what its like. The ones who have never worked in a medical field probably think this is terrible way to be.

When you have a middle aged person who wets the bed although they don't do it at home and act like they can't walk to the bathroom to me is just being lazy when there is no diagnosis that says they cannot walk.

Ok I am blowing off some steam and it could go on forever

You definitely don't need compassion to sell cars.

I never heard her complain when she did it before. She always said how much she liked her job. She's never said that about this one.

Try this response:

"Let's make a deal: I'll live up to your expectations of me as long as you do the things you're capable of doing on your own."

Then, to show how truly nice you are, treat her to her own private showing of the DVD movie "Misery".

Try this response:

"We're out of clean sheets right now and won't have any for a couple of hours."

Then, to show how truly nice you are, treat them to their own private showing of the DVD movie "Misery"...prefaced by you saying: "Let's see what happens to the patient in this movie who cannot walk."

The only time I will depend is when I'm seventy years old
That's when I can't hold my shit within so I shit on myself
Cause I'm so sick and tired of shitting on everybody else

I have to agree you are in the wrong job. Please, for your sake and the patients, find another line of work.

No matter how I feel sometimes, I am good to my patients and they receive excellent patient care from me. I have star cards to prove it.
