Life Its hard to have compassion sometimes. - Page 17

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

I don't only do crappy stuff that has to be done, but I have also done chest compressions in a code, pulled art. lines out after angiograms, drew blood for the lab and ran ACT's to see if the blood was thick enough to pull the line. Most places it takes 2 RN's to do the line pulling it used to be only dr.s who done it. I got to do most of this stuff in CCU at St. Johns. Except the code I done it in the ER a couple of months ago. But I do get the other things to, but it has to be done.

Guess if your say mother went to the hospital and say she was really old, and needed to be turned over every 2 hours to keep he from getting bed sores, do you think the nurse will do that? Hell no!!! When the Dr. needs a stool specimen sent to the lab to see if mommy dearest is shitting blood or has c-diff etc. Who the hell do you think does that? This fu*cking unachiever, uneducated bitch, thats who. Hey maybe when mom shits herself laying in the damn bed, ask the damn nurse to do something about it. The CNA may be to damn busy passing god damn orange juice. You sir, can kiss my ass and go fuck yourself .

You are killing me smalls! Hey maybe I caught you on a bad night. The word you were looking for is "no" not "now" anyway I am glad to read you are trying to better yourself. I have been pretty hard on you, and I hope you were venting and not stating how you treat people. Good luck to you and the people you treat. When it comes down to it the people you treat are the ones I worry about.

Its ok, yea venting is what I was doing, nothing more, I am good to my patients, and I do treat them well.

I know I get on here and complain a lot, but in reality I don't have anyone else I can vent to, pathetic, but true.

OMG Redrum just said for me to be a pornstar like my mom. LOL
