Default Re: How many patients are you assigned?
I was there, well between Joint Camp and ortho/neuro for 6 years. Loved my co-workers who are amazing. We have excellent teamwork. I am glad to hear yours is working out better. We had too many drama queens, patients were over the top demanding, for example, I remember one lady who demanded we give her a back rub and rub her feet every night before bed then bring her warm tea, fluff her pillows and tuck them just right. At exactly 6:00am she wanted her tea again and her " massage " again. ( usually I don't mind doing this for most patients when I have the time ) But this lady called our manager to complain we were not doing enough for her. ( yep, management got after us ) But it seemed like a good 75% of the patients we were getting were like that and a few who were worse. Now I know this happens on other floors, but not to the extent it was happening on Joint Camp. Anyhow, I am glad to here yours is going better.
