The other day I took my father to the ER because he was having severe symptoms that made me believe it was the flu. Mistakenly I thought my dad said he had chest pain as well so I wrote that down during his admission. After waiting 2 and a half hours to see the doctor the nurse came in to do an assessment. She asked if he had chest pain and he denied. She walked out to the nurses station to speak with another nurse. I'm assuming she was the charge nurse. My fathers room was RIGHT in front of the nurses station with the door wide open where we can hear EVERYTHING. I myself plan on becoming an ER nurse soon and just thought both nurses were being really disrespectful. They were laughing when they said there was no chest pain. It's pathetic to see and hear that happen...are they not aware that we can hear everything they're saying? I felt like walking up to them and say "excuse me but be aware of what you are saying, we can hear you guys discussing this LOUDLY." I know a lot of nurses tend to do that once in a while but still...do it somewhere where the patient can't hear you. It looks bad on you guys.
