Nursechandra

I recently started working as a private duty pediatric nurse. My pt has a vent, trach, and dx of muscular dystrophy. I feel like he takes advantage of me. I realize he is in pain, but he requests me to turn and reposition him at least 5-6 times per hour. And then after I turn him, he watches me sit down, and then calls me back over to him for something like needing his eyes wiped. I realize I am here for him and to care for him, but he doesn't do this to the other nurses on their shifts. I feel like I'm never able to chart because as soon as he sees me on the computer he needs something. Am I being irrational? How do I stop this? On one hand I feel that I need to cater to every call, but on the other I feel like I'm breaking my back. This is also keeping him awake all night, which causes him to sleep all day. In turn that causes the day nurse to not be able to do all of her duties because family requested we leave him be when he's asleep. Any advice? Input?

I have 3 months left of my LVN program. I wouldn't say it's "hard." But it is VERY demanding. A lot of information is thrown at you in a year. But the skills you will learn are next to none!!!!! It has been the best decision I have ever made. I have a BS in psychology and worked in the field for about 4 years. But my heart kept being tugged toward nursing!!!!
