I know you've had the patient that will see you the nurse in one light at one time and another at another time. How peculiar is that!?
Patient: Don't tell me you are a nurse!?
Nurse: Yes, and I am here to do your assessment, Ms. Jekyll.
Patient: Are you a registered nurse?
Nurse: Yes, are you having pain?!
Patient: Why would you need to know that?! (Stern, giving me a scowl and a look of suspicion.)
I know its possibly dementia related. What? She's in her 80s but don't let her contankerous attitude fool you; it can change on a dime! Next night, chapter II:
Nurse: Hi Ms Hyde! Did your day go well?
Patient: (Big smile) Yes, a lot of family here visiting. I think you are my favorite nurse; you really are kind and know how to help me get through the night! Grandson, did you meet my sweet nurse yet?
Oh well, can't please everybody all of the time LOL
