i have always gained pearls of wisdom from the posters here. I wish i had written them down
Here's some i do remember...
This is a conversation I'm
not willing to have
Thank you for pointing out** to me. I'll certainly take your POV under advisement
Can you believe you just said that outloud??!
What are your favs?
I had a patient who was being very rude to all nursing staff. I went to her and said you catch more flies with honey than vinegar. I said ITT nicely and it actually worked!
LOL I'd more expect to hear that once you said that, you got yourself a nice write-up! Not all patients take too kindly to being told to 'mind their yap'

If a patient is rude to me, I've been known to hold up my hand and say "Hey, please talk to me with respect. I will show you nothing but respect and I do expect the same" It has worked pretty well!
As a school nurse, I've said it many, many times to students as well!
