Patients:
Please realize the following.
1. If the order says q 4 hours prn - even if you did not get pain pill #2 until 5 hours after pain pill #1, I cannot give you pill #3 one hour "early." You state pain as 0/10 on every reassessment, so this is not inadequate meds.
2. This is not a personal vendetta against you by me. Please stop ********. Please stop arguing.
3. I am acquiring one hell of a guilt complex and thus dreading my shift tomorrow.
Please go jump in a lake,
Nurse.
