New on Facebook
We just posted a link on our Facebook page to one nurse's encounter with a very, to say the least, challenging patient: I never thought I'd say it, but last night, I did.
One of my patients was having DT, and by far, he has exceeded every encounter I had with expletives.
He has called me every unacceptable name in the book, including fat face and pig face.
He started, ended, and elaborated his every sentence with the F word, I just got tired of cringing.
Join Facebook, search for ADVANCE for Nurses, and read this post!
