@february2016, they don't know what there doing I work in dementia care. and I'm not quitting just going on medical leave
wow wtf... who punches a pregnant woman and slams her against something id quit too for your and baby safety
@tayek, I'm gonna have to I'll go crazy if I don't see them. @nurseriri in the doctors orders they state to reduce slowly after two months and well instead of reducing slowly the dropped him really low
@mommyof2angelboys, sorry to hear what happened. We nurses don't change orders. Doctors do and we follow the orders or we can advocate for patients and let the doctor know it's not a good idea to change meds frequency. Good luck and be well
You have a heart of gold @mommyof2angelboys 💖 Even from a distance, you'll still light up their lives. Visit in your scrub top so they might recognize you easier. Look at it this way--as a visitor you can spend time cooing and singing and generally loving on them (as much as they allow--I had one I could sing to but I could only touch her hands) versus having to curb the love for daily care.
yeah I know. its just so hard. I love them all so much! and hate that I'm their only sunshine and I have to do it from a distance.... I love my unit so much. I cried my eyes out when I got home last night because I found out the reason that he attacked me is the nurse felt it was okay to reduce his antipsychotic drugs from 4times a day to once a day @tayek
I understand. I was a CNA for a while after high school. I used to be wary of leaving them at shift's end. You could visit them so you keep in touch! They'd like that. It'd be good for you to make sure you see them, and from my experience most dementia patients don't get a ton of visits. @mommyof2angelboys you can still be their sunshine, just from a safer vantage point for your baby.
@tayek, yes but when working dementia care you never know who will be there when you return. and I have 8 on the verge of going home to be with god
Please do. Be safe and work will be there when you return.
ohhh ok I understand now
