Loved this article. One of my favorites from people (who are not patients), mostly family members is:
Why are you so ANAL/PICKY/THOUROUGH?
And another one:
You don't have to wash your hands every 10 seconds! (All you did was pet the dog, put on your shoes, turn the doorhandle, etc.)
What I meant was I hear these things from MY family members (and friends).

5. Well, my friend has a sister, who is who knows a woman that is married to a nurse who lives 5 states away and HE says that if you give Morphine 2.5mg to mom you will kill her.
4. The family isn't all "onboard" with hospice.
3. Are you going to give mom IV fluids (as mom's poor bloated body is cracked and seeping from the IV hydration she already received.)
2. There are "family dynamics."
1. Hi, I am your patient's daughter and I am a nurse, lol.

From the family of an 850 pound patient: "I can't believe he has gained 2 pounds since he got here! If he gains any more weight, we're going to sue!'
True story...this from the patient's sister who weighed a whopping 120lbs.
What do you say to that?

How about when I was an LPN and was ask when I would become a "REAL NURSE". I replied, I am a REAL NURSE....."oh, I thought RN meant REAL NURSE and LPN stood for LESS PAPERWORK NURSE"....really?????
