I know you are all dying to hear about my “run-ins” with the bad guys. All hospitals have them, but you have to just grin nad bare it until you are able to report it to the right people (which we have).<\/p>\n
My night nurses? They must have skipped the class in bedside table manners. One nurse just started undressing me when she came in to give me meds despite my protesting. She said I was sweaty and she had to put me in something clean. GET YOUR HANDS OFF ME, didn’t do the trick. She even insitsed SHE had to dress me. I couldn’t do it.Then there was the night time nun nurse that said our baby would \u00a0die on the pallet we created under the chair we turned into a tent with an opening in the back for air, but covered front and sides to block noise and light. she insisted he sleep in a bassinet which we immediately realized he’d roll out of if he got lose from his swaddle. We requested NOT to have her again. \u00a0The other night nurses have been ok.<\/p>\n
Excuse that awful run-on.. SORRY.<\/span><\/p>\n We also have a day charge nurse (head nurse) that thinks she’s God’ gift to nursing. She’s over confident. Forgetful. Pays no attention and gave me my only bruise. I’ve had 5?6? sticks since I got here (counting the one I arrived with). She pretends she doesn’t hear you and continues to do whatever she wants. The last straw was when she tried to put something in my IV because she had to prep me for my MRI. As far I as I knew I wasn’t having another MRI. Sure enough it wasn’t me. She was still rude about the entire thing, questioning me, my name, NOT checking my bracelet and never appologized. She was going to inject whatever into my veins without confirming who I was first. She’s not my “nurse” so I’m stuck with her being in charge of my nurses.<\/p>\n All 3 have been reported to the proper department and they are just horrified that this happened.<\/p>\n When I talked the doctor this morning he said he’s not surprised. Night nurses\u00a0(most, not all) are very different and the only time he’s had to yell at a nurse, it was at night.<\/p>\n —<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I know you are all dying to hear about my “run-ins” with the bad guys.
