I am the one who gets deputized all too often because I can fake patience better than some and difficult patients often like me. I enjoy the role--to a point.Sue Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17432899300135835946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6833607.post-67092498554785633682010-05-10T09:13:01.736-07:002010-05-10T09:13:01.736-07:00You know there are more many more types of patient...You know there are more many more types of patients we hate, but this is a good start....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6833607.post-24117331492408085232010-05-10T03:59:50.227-07:002010-05-10T03:59:50.227-07:00love it. you ooze sheer poetry man, poetry.love it. you ooze sheer poetry man, poetry.Nurse Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15831620684727151123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6833607.post-15660182142996553152010-05-09T18:55:21.338-07:002010-05-09T18:55:21.338-07:00having spent a lot of time in the hospital over th...having spent a lot of time in the hospital over the past 6 years, i have learned that the nursing staff always has my best interests in mind. i always thank them, whether they are delivering my meds, starting an IV, drawing blood or just checking up on me. <br />and you know what? my stays have always been as enjoyable as possible considering the circumstances.<br />my family makes my bed, cleans me up and generally tries to make the workload of the hospital staff easier.<br />and you know what? the staff always welcomes my family and welcomes their questions.<br />and on more than one occasion, i've been told that when a nurse was asked to take overtime, she said as long as she got me as a patient she would.<br />so, to those angels of mercy who care for those of us who become ill, you have my unending appreciation and are in my prayers every day.stonytonyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00493457059099794394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6833607.post-39800239178964575192010-05-09T17:01:49.335-07:002010-05-09T17:01:49.335-07:00I love it.

In my world (SNF, 50% short term rehab/50% long-term care) our short term length of stay is so long (average 30 days) that when an asshole patient joins us, those nurses are stuck for the next 30 days. Considering our nurse/patient ratios are 1:20, the unit manager, social services, and sometimes, even me (DON) intervene to decompress the situation. On the other hand, sometimes nothing works. Those patients, we just look forward to the day they meet their goals and discharge and we chart are asses off.Lisa Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07951250862147784757noreply@blogger.com
