LOL. Yes. One of the supervisors told me one time, “you know you have all of the staff afraid of you.”
When I asked her why she said, “because you are always writing everything down in your notebook”. I said, well good this is probably a good thing.
I only wrote stuff down, cause I have part - timers. Part of the time I remember stuff, and part of the time I don’t. LOL.
Good for you!
Here’s what happened to my husband, when he was ill:
He had to spend an overnight in the hospital, after a procedure, and I stayed with him all evening, until midnight, and had talked with all the staff; I had warned them that he had severe night sweats (part of his cancer) and that he’d likely need fresh pajamas (which I provided) and fresh sheets.
They wrote it down, told me to go home and get some rest.
I couldn’t sleep. At 3 a.m. I went back to the hospital, straight to his room, and found him cold, wet from head to toe, and shivering violently. I had only been gone three hours.
I put the call light on, and with the help of two other nurses we got him warm, medicated, and cleaned up. I was furious. He begged me, “Let me die at home, this is horrible.” And that was that. No more treatments, no more hospital stays, no more taking chances on care that wasn’t done.
I did get a note of apology from the charge nurse. Fat lot of good that did for my husband. I don’t trust anyone to care for my loved ones.
