Some nights

Nope, not a complaint thread!

Had a new admit tonight. SWEET, SWEET, SWEET lady! I gave her a whirlpool bath, washed her hair, did really good mouth care. Gave her pain medication, then a back rub and treated a sore on her mouth. She smiled at me when I told her I was going to give her a break from me and said, "Oh, honey, I prayed for a miracle. And you, your my miracle, thank you." Can I say I walked out of there in tears?:)

Events like this are one of the reasons that most of us stay in nursing. Diane

How sweet! I bet that made your night. Events like this, which are few and far between, make it all worthwhile!

OHHHHHH! I love that. Don't you wish we could have more of those!:redbeathe

Okay, I'm a wuss, I'm sitting here sniffling.....

I was walking down the hall one night, and heard singing from one of our double rooms. I go in to "shhhhhh" the singer, who I figure is the dementia pt in bed 1. Instead, I find the pt in bed 2 is sitting beside bed 1, holding her hand, and singing to her. When I asked her what was up, she said bed 1 had had a nightmare, so she was singing her back to sleep.

Believe me, anything bed 2 wanted for the rest of her stay, we gave her; she asked for Dr. Pepper on day shift, and they sent someone to the store to get her one...

nice story, shay...

esp working where you do.

thanks, on my behalf.

I am sorry to report my sweet lady died today before I got back to work. They said it was a peaceful death.:redbeathe

On a side note, the night turn nurse heard her moaning last night and when she went in to make sure she was ok, the woman said oh yeah! I am not in pain, I was dreaming about Paul Newman, ROFLMAO! THAT is how I want to go....
