    burberrylover posted a topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    This past week was a difficult one for my brother. After caring for a lady with cerebral palsy for 14 years(She lived in), she died. It started on the 21st when he brought her into the ER due to...

    Come back once you get through nursing school, pass your boards, and actually work as a nurse and THEN tell me what you think. Again, is yelling at a patient's family member appropriate? Is thrusting...

    burberrylover replied to burberrylover's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    And I find her comment offensive about nurses being burned out, just because they don't agree with her stance. I'm a new grad working in an ICU and I'm no where near burned out, I just see things from...

    burberrylover replied to burberrylover's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I am 100% supportive of HCPs being straight and honest. Had the nurse told me brother, "Your friend is going to suffer if you do XYZ" that would have been one thing. Instead, she resorted to...

    burberrylover replied to burberrylover's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    While we are not certain that the medical staff meant harm, we are not certain that they did not mean harm either. It could go either way. I do think an apology for their behavior is called for and...

    burberrylover replied to burberrylover's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Again, thank you all for your thoughts and insights. Many of you are right....none of us were there to see what happened. All I know is what my brother told me and I know him as a credible person....

    I'm not really sure what your intentions are, but if it obvious that when you realized the majority disagreed with you that you became hostile and argumentative. Who is being hostile? I did not say...

    burberrylover replied to burberrylover's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Yes, I find what was written to be very rude. My point is what actually gets said & what is the caregiver hears (both words and tone)is not always the same thing due to their stress with the...

    burberrylover replied to burberrylover's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    From my experience (and this is only a possibility because I was obviously not there), I have found many times when telling a loved one something they don't want to hear, they tend to preceive the...

    burberrylover replied to TreehuggerRN's topic in General Nursing

    I wanted to add something: Head lice is not a sign of someone being unclean or dirty. Body lice, yes. Head lice,no. My girls have had lice in the past and, trust me, they are/were cleaner than
