I got fired by a patient once, as their nurse. A friend recently did as well. Talk about staffing nightmares!
My situation was totally my own. Seems one's comments should be kept to oneself.
Yet, if you puke on the floor, spraying vomit every where, my first action will always be to go get a bath blanket, to start cleaning up. One already demonstrated that a pink tub would have been useless. And I understand fully the concern for dehydration... yet every time one takes a sip of Gatorade, and there is vomit... perhaps one should stop the rehydration attempts.
Although, I do appreciate when it occurs in a lobby. Not only do I get a few bath blankets, I grab some of those self-supporting yellow signs as well!
My friend's issue was cultural. Seems she was insensitive to her patient's family.
Who knew that a pregnant woman was taboo and could not care for someone critically ill...
