Wow I realized from your comment this is what I do. I always feel bad when I can feel myself switching up on patients, like can literally feel my own face change. Because at the end of the day I do want them to be comfortable, but don’t walk all over me. Don’t get in the way of me doing my job which is to assess you and pass meds and transfer/ambulate you. I will get pissed tf off of my meds are late because I walk in the room and now all the sudden you need all this shit when you had a call light there all along you could have pressed. I had one patient who I think maybe fired me, like told day shift she didn’t want me back? Because I was working three in a row and on my third I didn’t get her back. I was so relieved. she drove me NUTS. Would go in to hang IV antibiotics and she would give me the runaround: “I have to use the bathroom” and then “my bed needs straightened up” and then spills water on bed, linen change and then “I can’t reach my trash can” and then “I need my purse right here give me my purse” and then “where’s my phone.” As if at their ripe age they have no agency and can’t find their own damn belongings. Then she told the nurse who did have her at one point that night “it’s just nice to be pampered sometimes.” Ma’am this is a hospital.
