Perhaps my fatale flaw but I am one who tries to see something I like about my client/patien/resident

Could be a grump:angthts:, but you have the sweetest family, you must have done something right!

Could be very depressed and subdued:aln::smilecoffeeIlovecof, you were a nurse and so am I!

Could be insulting and rude:redlight:, your smile when lit lights up the world!

Sometimes if I can find some quality that I can latch onto the day will be brighter, the patient's on my team so to speak.

So, I don't expect them to be my friend, but when they are friendly in kind it's definitely a boost.

When I turn you to clean you up and you fart in my face as I am right there inspecting your skin :sstrs: you make my co-workers laugh which puts a smile on my face every time...

Yes, as your hair flies back from the force of that wet, greasy bit of anal exhaust, our co-workers giggle, which in turn makes us giggle, and keeps things on a light note.

One of my patients took me by the hand & smeared a booger on me, I knew right then & there, if that was the worst the night had to offer, we'd be alright.....:D

To the op, I completely agree. There are a few that I can't seem to find anything good about. I am not perfect. I will take on the most PITA pt there is and love it. But there are a few that to others aren't bad and I will try my best not to get them.

Everyone thinks I am nuts for loving the pt's that "challenge" the nurses.

Thank you StrwbryblndRN for saving this thread from spiraling downward towards vulgarity. I was speaking earlier, at the beginning, of stinky personalities not stinky smells. Oh well, its a free country, isn't it. Lighten up, y'old CalleCoDe!

When you think of certain people as "characters", you can develop a certain affection for them.

You know they had something valuable to offer when you miss them tremendously when they're gone.

My intention was not to turn this thread vulgar, I am sorry if that is how it was taken. It happens alot to me, and instead of taking it bad or being upset about the "smell" I try to turn it into something to smile about. Sorry, it was just my spin...I am out.

Call me Pollyanna who likes to play the glad game. But I love to find the best in everything in life. If not possible, I crack jokes. Makes life much easier.

Breath in, breath out, breath in, breath out

I remember this: Everyone brings a smile to this room. Some when they enter, some when they leave. :) :lol2:
