pt complains hospital too much like a hotel

[Double Dunker]

No, seriously! I had a patient complain the other night that I didn't wake them every hour for vitals (unit standard is Q8 vitals). He actually told my charge nurse, "This place is like a bleepity-bleep hotel, not a hospital!!"

Can't make anybody happy.

Whaaaa?

[ThePrincessBride, MSN, RN, NP]

Well that's a first!

And I thought it was surprising some patients actually LIKE the SCDs. This is a first.

Literally can't please everyone. I'd offer some unpleasant PRN suppository or something to make it feel more hospital like for 'em [emoji6]

I guess some one was expecting to play into the sick role. Hard to get sympathy from others if the experience isn't awful. I know people like that... Bedside nursing is so hard. So glad I don't do it anymore

Just when you thought you'd heard everything...*shaking head* That will be an interesting Press-Ganey survey. "Hospital was too accommodating. Wasn't uncomfortable enough."

[Here.I.Stand, BSN, RN]

Sheesh! Generally a need for q 1hr VS means pt needs the ICU or a blood transfusion. He should be glad. Can't please everyone I guess.

Wow. WOW. That officially takes the prize as the most ridiculous complaint I've ever heard.

Some of my shifts are as a rapid response nurse, which involves following up on patients transferred out of the ICU. One of the most common complaints, usually from family, is that they are concerned about the patient's safety because "they just let the patient sleep all night", and by "all night" we're usually just talking about from midnight to 0400.

Omg. Lol.

I encountered a family member complained to the administrator saying that the end of the TEDS have holes :smh
