Cat Heaven, Nurse H..l!

Published

Just finished taking and shower and changing my clothes. My first patient had a multitude of cats. It's a place where you have to hold your nose and your throat burns or you gag - constantly. I did my work, waited until I got to the street to breathe through my nose and started to gag again. I sat with my door open so I could gag some more. Febreezed myself, the car, cleaned the equipment which I had not returned to my bag. I could not take the chance that the next patient would smell that on me or my equipment. The nurse who went on the visit before me was urinated on by one of the cats.

Before I share my plan, I am wondering what your input will be. How would you proceed with this case? Patient is competent, stable (chf) and has 2 equally competent family members who care for her. This was her 3rd visit. 7 weeks to go.

I guess that would be another thread. I dc her.
