Nurse question

[Guest guest]

Being that I have spent lots of time in the hospital I know how

sometimes you get a nurse you just CAN'T STAND.

This happened to me once after childbirth.

This happened to my daughter when she was telling us that when

anyone talked it made her pain worse and she wanted everyone to stop

talking. I shut up because I understand about the mental zone you

have to be in to deal with pain, but the nurse kept talking and

talking and my daughter said " I will feel so much better when you

get out of my room. " she is normally the sweetest thing and I am

extra strict on manners since we homeshool and I am around my

children all the time. I tried so hard not to laugh. In her defense

she was in pain and she did ask the nurse nicely to stop talking a

few times.

I am just wondering if you guys had any nurses rub you the wrong way

while you were in the hospital. How did you handle it? I am going to

try to be a model patient, but sometimes people just clash. Throw in

pain meds and some stress and I am sure that I may be a little

touchy. I am hoping for the best, but I wanted to hear some of your

stories.

Don't get me wrong I think nurses are great. Nursing is a tough job

and I am appreciative of that.
