Anyway, so I'm talking to this lady as I go to medicate her and she's telling me how stumped she is that this has happened to her and she has no idea what could have caused it. I tell her that in our line of work with moving patients and such that it's pretty easy to strain a muscle and not realize it until later. So she looks at me kind of funny, scoffs and says, "I'm an RN. I don't move patients." Oh, well shit, that's right. No one the techs move the patients. Excellent. Strong work as always.
*snort* That's classic.
ReplyDeleteI am an RN and I have always had to move patients. Guess I never worked in a nursing home.
ReplyDeleteTerrible, just terrible.
ReplyDeleteWow. Class act.
ReplyDeleteI'm a nursing assistant and I've worked in nursing homes my entire career and I NEVER work there again. I'm sorry if I offend anyone but some nurses acted as if helping to move a patient was beneath them. Some acted as if the chair was surgically attached to their ass. However some nurses were nice and they helped me. I'm thankful for them.
