First thread was closed due to jetblade crapping in it. So i was advised to restart a new thread if I wanted to.
long read, no cliffnotes.. dont be lazy!
Last night my husband and I went up to the hospital to visit his mother. She's in there for a broken hip. Anyways, while we are there the elderly nun diagonal from my mother in laws bed starts paging a nurse for help. She wants to be moved from the chair into bed. The nun had been left in the chair since 5pm and its now 8pm. So the nurse finally at 8pm (after numerous pages from the nun) decides to come in and tell the patient how it is. She literally verbally abused her right before our eyes. She didnt have any idea we were there. She starts screaming at the Sister about how if she wants to be moved she should ask her day nurse and stop wasting night nurses time. And that if she doesn't tell the day nurse to do it before her shift ends then she deserves to stay in the chair.
After about 15 minutes of her reaming out Sister. She turns around and sees my husband and I standing there staring at her and her episode. She then becomes instantly nice with Sister. We left soon after (thankfully our mother is mobile so she doesnt need much help from the nurses except the occassional meds).
Fast forward to about 30 minutes ago: My mother in law calls to tell me what happened after we left. That Sister paged the nurse all night telling her she had to make a bowel movement. The nurses in turn replied "no you dont, you can hold it." Also the woman beside my mother in laws bed also asks to be repositioned because she has been stuck in the same position for atleast 10 hours. The nurse tells her to wait until the dayshift nurse. This all happened around 5am.
I don't know exactly what is wrong with the woman nextdoor but, I know that with my backaches its very painful to remain in the same position for 10 minutes let alone 10 hours.
Eventually the dayshift nurses come on. They come to answer pages from the 2 patients and discovers the sister has crapped her bed because of the lack of help. and that patient #2 is crying because shes in so much pain from not being moved.
Im definitely contacting hospital administration. Im fuming mad, moreso at myself for not telling the b!tch off right then and there when i saw it happening.
