Single mother + special needs kid. Sometimes, I had to decide whether to be the nurse or the mother. Since I was the only person who could be the mom, I often chose mom. I did put on my 'nurse' when dealing w/docs, etc., but I tried to focus on him when he needed me.

Aren't any if you the opposite? Every ache might be an osteosarcoma? back pain some spinal abcess? I see more pts who ignored tiny stuff and it was actually the start of something huge than the opposite

Were I a parent I would probably be a little like this... especially working in pediatric oncology where I've seen things as simple as a limp really be leukemia.

Specializes in Psych.

Last night my son "popped" his knee at football. I came home, looked at it, ROM on it ( some pain), swelling. So we medicated, rested. This morning I was debating whether to take him or not... We ended up going when I noticed how much of an issue he was having... Sprained knee ( which was what I thought), most likely the MCL.

Specializes in ICU, OR.

I'm actually the opposite. I am sometimes paranoid and worry too much that it's leukemia, food allergy etc. Or just I know they could use some antibiotics so I bring them when I know they need them... not on death's door, no, but just aware they need antibiotics.
