Ok . . . Tomorrow I will have 16 residents on my hall 14 of which are constant call bell ringers! I am under alot of stress at work, at home, at school, hell! even in my sleep. I feel that I will just CRACK tomorrow. All the new admits seem to travle to this hall, so maybe I'll have even more! anyway . . . . I want to think of a nice polite way of saying, "If you even think of ringing that one more time, I'm gonna put it where the sun don't shine?"to the bell ringors or "PUT A STINKIN' SOCK IN IT!" to the yellers and complainors.
I know those are the phrases that I'll have in my mind, but it wouldnt be too great to say that! What do you do to keep calm when your patients are driving you to hell in a bed pan (lol) what do you keep in the back of your mind to make you feel better, and what do you substitute with those sayings, and how do you get through to them?
