Its hard to have compassion sometimes.

[badgirl]

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

Maybe. Maybe not, Mr. Bugeater. A djinn is an Arab sprite or demon or nasty, evil spirit or something that, to my knowledge, is asexual and completely devoid of gender which explains why they're so pissy all the time and tend to cause all kinds of serious problems because a sexually frustrated demon can be a pain in the ass when they have all kinds of supernatural powers to poison your well, or give your camel distemper or some other kind of multisystemic viral disease, or cause crazy, freak winds to blow your aba up over your head when you're trying to make a good impression on a girl at the bar and, anyhow, dyinn sounds a lot like jynni, to me and I use "at work" mode so I can't see avatars or sigs or anything which might provide a clue as to a poster's sex or lack thereof and unless they include something in their post that might indicate that they are a female, what's a peep supposed to do for crying out loud?

My father-in-law is a nurse who has worked with drug and alcohol abusers and seriously messed up mental cases.

He loves all of the characters and nursing is truly his higher calling. His only complaints are about administration folks.

Well, damn. I'm sorry, Ms. jynni. My bad. I had no idea and it won't happen again. Please accept my most sincere and genuine and authentic and heart-felt apologies. Are you attractive?

She has a picture of Arrowhead in her avatar, so that wasn't really any help. I just thought it sounded like a girl's name.

Still one of the funniest scenes in movie history.

It is a terrible way to be. It's not their fault your job is difficult and demanding. Sorry you have to put down the laptop and CP to care for your patients.

My father almost died because of this kind of attitude. He had a lot of problems and needed a lot of attention when he was in the hospital (frequently).

He had a heart attack, turned blue and passed out while buzzing the nurses. The nurses were so put out from having to tend to him constantly, they didn't respond immediately. If it weren't for the other patient's family that shared his room seeing him turn blue, he would've died right there.

As far as I'm concerned you shouldn't be in this field of work or you need an immediate attitude adjustment. Perhaps you should quit screwing around on the internet when you have people that need your help.

I wonder if you went to a hotel that had the same rates as you pay at a hospital, if they'd bitch about opening up an orange juice?
