VENT--Boundaries please!!!!!

Dear patient's fully grown adult son,

Do not under any circumstances flick my scope tubing while I'm taking a BP. Do not tell me I'm a "hot-ass nurse". Do not interrupt me while I'm teaching my patient about her asthma triggers. Do not purposefully make obnoxious noises while I'm listening to breath sounds. Do not tell me that you will look for an air purifier in someone's garbage. Do not tell me that you refuse to clean out your nasty bird/rabbit/snake/mice cages more than every 2 weeks even after I explain how animal feces in the air is, well, BAD for people with severe respiratory issues. Do not flick a nasty dirty jacket out over your mother's open wound because you can't bear to look at it. Try vaccuuming sometime. Never ever procreate, for the sake of the species. Oh and please, please just go away and never be here ever again during nursing visits. Thanks,okay, Bye

Love,

ProBeeRN

    It would be all I could do not to kick him in the taint. Good on you for coming here instead.

    You said "taint".

    I love you.

    QUOTE=nurseontheball;4288496]. . . . .The father would always make his remarks to her while she was giving pericare. He kept walking around her with only his thin short bathrobe on!! :clown: OMG, I don't know how she stayed there for 3 months!!!

    That is beyond disgusting and the nurse should not have let that behavior continue for 3 months, she should have reported the incidents, (because even if they don't pursue it, a paper trail is started) and she should have kicked his orifice out of the room before she gave pericare on the daughter. Making sexually inappropriate remarks "always" during his daughter's peri-care?!? Oh, no-no-no-no. Poor little girl. . .

    Oh, she did report it to the agency (case manager) amongst other things. Nothing was ever done. It was funny when the young manager had to come to the home one day and made a comment afterwards about how she could not believe he was walking around in that thin little bathrobe. Now, mind you this was a big guy. He sat there for 1 1/2 hours talking with her, but never excused himself to get dressed. Afterwards, the manager made a comment to my friend (nurse) how she was waiting for it to open up! Asked if he always walked around that way, like she had no idea about any of this or the inappropriate comments being made! When the case manager was confronted, she stated, she felt he was only joking around and it was their home, and he could dress the way he wanted to as long as his privates were covered. Nothing was done, so she quit the case.

    Amazing. And congrats for not losing it and kicking him in the aforementioned taint! ;)

    If you want to see how people really live, do some in home nursing care. pts houses I've been to would make a pig look as clean as a new bar of soap from the box. As a paramedic I've seen the worst of the worst. I don't know how many times I have almost pucked from the stench and filth of some peoples houses.

    @ P-medic2RN : I can't even imagine...I doubt their homes would be particularly clean on a good day, let alone a surprise visit from the Paramedics while they're in the middle of their bi-monthly indoor manure-and-MRSA-flinging party!
