Just a patient—Geez what a crappy gift! They couldn’t even Spring for Rock Candy at least you can eat that. After I was discharged I would almost always come back in a week or so later with food (pizzas, chocolate candy, soda) and a thank you card f...

During these difficult times please remember the work you do does not go unnoticed! As someone who is disabled due to cerebral palsy and in a wheelchair I have so much respect for nurses and always will. I remember when I was 7 years old being i...

Just a patient--- I consider nurses major assets to healthcare. I’m disabled due to CP and in a wheelchair. They have helped me so much during all of my operations, kept me pain free, helped through the hardest parts of my life, and explained stuff s...

Just a patient--- I was very offended to hear the comments about “playing cards.” She obviously doesn’t have a clue. I have been a patient many times and have never witnessed such a thing, what I have witnessed was nurses hardly sitting down, often r...

Just a patient---My heart goes out to this nurse and her family. It boggles my mind why others think its ok to assault a healthcare worker, being disabled and in a wheelchair, I have been in the hospital many times and the ER a few times and never ev...

Just a patient-- Sorry this happened to you. I'm disabled and in a wheelchair and have never even thought about assaulting a nurse. I hope they face some jail time. Always remember you have patients who respect and appreciate the work you do. Stay s...

Thank you for your service and for caring for others, judging from your posts you sounded like a great nurse. Enjoy your retirement! ☺️

Just a patient--- As others said it's NOT a good idea to give them money. They may come back and ask you for more, best just to refer them to the proper services. With that being said sometimes, the best gift you could give someone is an ear and your...

Just a patient---As a big supporter/fan of nurses it's upsetting to read stuff like this, she was just doing her job protecting the patient, and this guy goes crazy on her, glad she's ok. I hope she gets a nice settlement and he goes to jail. Sadly h...

I hope all nurses users will always have the option of always being anonymous, part of the reason why I think this site is successful is because people can come on this site and vent anonymously. I would hate for that to change.

Just a patient- How sad nurses are being treated like this. I have cerebral palsy and use a wheelchair and I have always been respectful towards staff. The only thing I ever thought I was "entitled" to was good care and friendly staff. It's a shame ...

Just a patient--- You sound like you are being way too hard on yourself. I'm disabled due cerebral palsy and in a wheelchair, I have been in the hospital many times, and I have to say I have NEVER judged a nurse or CNA or any staff on their appearanc...

I wish I could like the post above a 100x.. There no reason to talk and drive, nothing is that important. The person talking on the phone won't be any good to the person on the other end if they are in jail or pass away from an accident. A few months...

Just a patient- as others have said, this nurse very well may have just been having a bad day. Wanting her fired is a bit over the top. I have had experiences (thankfully not many in the hospital) in life where workers were rude but I never wanted th...

Just a patient--I'm disabled due to cerebral palsy and in a wheelchair. It's so sad to me that a profession that does so much for others and makes a difference in the lives of others can't get any recognition not even one day. Anytime I have been in ...

Just a patient-What you experienced is not unique to just nursing, you have/will encounter people like that everywhere. We have all talked about others, I have done it. Was the nurse out of line, in my opinion yes. I have a feeling if that nurse hear...

Just a patient--- Something I have noticed is many RN's who have only been practicing for a short time, going back to school to become a NP. Could having a nurse with 20 years plus experience for example at the bedside become a thing of the past? I k...

Just a patient--- As someone who is disabled and in a wheelchair due to cerebral palsy. I never take it out on others because I don't want to bring others down. I hate when people take their problems out on others, especially if they are minor proble...

Just a patient--- I'm disabled and in a wheelchair due to CP and I have to say shots really don't bother me all that much, even when I was little. Many nurses have told me that I have really nice veins. Only a nurse would get excited over veins.

Just a patient- No a patient has no right to abuse you. Your job is hard enough you don't need abuse added to it. I'm disabled due to cerebral palsy and use a wheelchair and have been in the hospital many times. I never "ordered" around or abused sta...

Just a patient---- Don't give up, this is still all new to you and will take some time to get use too, just like with anything new you will get more comfortable as time goes on. Whenever you have a bad shift, always remember that there are patients w...

Always happy to support a nurse... Sending positive vibes your way!!

Just a patient-- As others have said its whoever is back there, whenever I got sick and more than one nurse was helping clean me up, whoever was behind me at the time would give it. I saw a nurse behind me hold out her hand as my nurse entered the ro...

Just a patient but---Sounds like you were being pulled in many ways at once, Mistakes happen. Don't be too hard on yourself, at least you caught it and admitted to it, that says a lot about you. It irks me how much nurses are over worked. I wonder wh...

Just a patient, but I wouldn't let a strangers rude comments get you down. YOU know the knowledge and skills you possess, you make difference in the lives of others, not many people can say that. If I had seen you, I would have thanked you for what y...
