Get this! I work at a hospital and about a year ago had a patient who was young and found to have cancer. To make a long story short, she died of colon cancer and her death was HORRIBLE! The care she got stunk! I thought we were in a time where people didn't have to suffer the way she did. I loved her as a person. She was so upbeat and we had a lot in common. I'm guilty of being overly caring about her. I sent her off to surgery when she thought it was to be something minor (although my thought was that it was going to be much as more and it was) and when she found out how bad things were, she was confident she'd fight it and win. Her battle was lost nine months later.

I felt like a bad nurse as I was there for her in the beginning, lost contact when she left the hospital, but then near the end, she deteriorated so much, I had a hard time not wanting to cry the few times she did. But as a nurse, you have to be strong!!

Now the unethical part! One of the nurses who seemed overly concerned near the end, still sees the patient's husband. She broke up with her boyfriend and apparently cried her heart out to him that she had no money. He stopped by the hospital and gave her $1,000.00 cash!! She was overheard telling a friend of hers who works at the hospital. Well, you can say there's no proof, but she was heard stating this and she is and was a snake. She even flirted big time with the doctors of this patient. There was rumor something was going on between her and the docs. You'd hope docs would be smart enough to see through this! I'm just disgusted when I she took money from the patient's husband. While she acted so concerned about our patient, she really was putting up a show for the husband. I didn't trust her and now to think she has taken money from this man who didn't have much to begin with sickens me. Apparently nothing was done about this. Our new director is nice, but likes to look the other way. What are your thoughts nurses!!!????

Even if she never gets held accountable for her actions, I thoroughly believe what goes around, comes around. Hopefully one day she'll get hers, which won't be very nice.

I agree that she's pathetic.

why did he give her $1000?
Did he give this voluntarily?

Hmm, I was always curious what became of my ex.

Seriously though does your facility not have a policy regarding gifts from patients or patients families. I mean this goes way beyond flowers, a card or cookies. This seems to be the reason those policies are written.

As far as what comes around, what would be appropriate for this woman?

Ebola?
Fishing with Scott Peterson?
The T Virus? (video game reference)
An interview with Geraldo?

Peace,
Tripps
