You dont know what a family from the bowels of h*ll could be. This just happen to me in the last week!! A patient was here for weakness the truth was that he was here to die. The family 25-30 of them camped out for about a week. This is just the beginning. They made long distance phone calls from a telephone in a nurses lounge asked to stop they got mad, went looking for food in the cafeteria when it was closed had to lock it down. Took food from the pantry for all the children, they were running in the halls, playing in the bathroom. I alerted my supervisor, and hospital adm. they sugar coated the problem and told me to smooth things out. All of this and have to do all the "other" nursing jobs. I am seriously thinkning of changing my career. There is no SUPPORT from any managers or ADMINISTRATION, you feel like you're on the battle field without any protection. At least on the front you know your objective :uhoh21:
