Life Its hard to have compassion sometimes. - Page 18

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

There once was a poster whose nursing
Caused her patients weeping and cursing
She practiced abuse
And denied them juice
In the hope that they soon would go hearsing

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

Your awesome boyfriend doesn't want to hear it? And don't you rag on me for doing the same thing?

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 .

Will spelling or grammar be involved?

There is an actual condition called, "Compassion Fatigue", it sounds like you're experiencing it. I really think you should take some time off....recollect your thoughts, and reassess if this is what you're called to do. I think it would do your patients a world of good.

It was a taxing endeavor, and unfortunately I feel a little dumber now.
