Do you have dreams about your patients? If so, are these dreams about something happy? Are they abstract or just your memories from a day? How to deal with that kind of dreams? Should I be worried, rest more?

My eighty seven year old postop patient when I asked if he needed anything: “no, just the love of my wife” (who had to just come to visit him)

My reaction:

particularly disagreeable patient starts one-way argument with me and yells: I have to ask questions! I have to know what is going into my body!

(This had been answered multiple times, and patient had agreed to receive medication. I was administering the medication at this time)

Patient continues: You could be injecting me with rat poison!

What I said out loud: I would never inject you with rat poison!

What I thought to myself: first of all, that is a PO medication…

Literally wrote “nurse assured patient she would never inject him with rat poison” in the medical record….can’t make this stuff up, folks!

Two patients form one room had a tough day today. One of them wants to die now. She’s just lying in bed, yelling and begging for death. But she’s waking up her room mate. Since, the room mate can’t sleep she’s singing old feast songs. I walk into the room because the alarm went on. Lady that wants to die is talking to me abut death, meanwhile second patients is Sining louder and louder. I mean really loud. And suddenly the dying lady is like “shut up! I don’t want to suffer THAT MUCH before I die!”

There's one room of 3 ladies, I think they aren't aware they are in nursing home nor there are 3 of them in one room. My friend was wiping patient's face and my friend was making a small-talk "Miss, that wipe smells really nice, doesn't it?" So my friend got 3 responses. At once. First of ladies just moaned like she tried to say "yeah". Second lady: I CAN'T FEEL ANY SCENT LEMME SMELL THEM!!!! And third response was: JOHN TELL OUR GRANDSON TO STOP YELLING!!!!!!
