Impish Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 I called to lodge a complaint against the nurse that's been to my home, and request another nurse specifically, that's recommended by the pharmacy. My nurse is the NURSING SUPERVISOR!! :blink: I left a call for the director, specifically stating that I did NOT want the nursing supervisor calling me. Wouldn't you think, as a nursing SUPERVISOR, that she'd know and strictly adhere to Universal Precautions, and know to clean the site, not reuse needles, etc? Or is this a case of, "I'm the head, so I can do what I want and not get busted." mentality? :mad: I'm seriously considering reporting her to the province. God only knows how many patients that she's either injured, made ill, or might in the future simply by not attending to basic hygiene :cursing: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
********* Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 Yeah Impish, make sure you go over her head. BTW, I realize it's OT, but who keeps rating your threads one star? I love to read your threads! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ibbygirl Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 YIKES!! :eek: Don't you hate it when that happens? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Impish Posted August 24, 2009 Author Share Posted August 24, 2009 I have no clue how ratings work. I'm guessing that its because I use bold font...I've had some complaints about it. I've called another nurse that was out for a Workers Comp report, to see what could be put in place at home to help me manage better (3 hrs of housekeeping a week was one thing! :party:) She's a care manager for her company (how does this work that I get head honchos at my place??) and is willing to do my treatments. If I can't get ahold of the nurse that the pharmacy normally uses, then I will demand a full switch of agency from the pharmacy, and request her specifically.

Guest Katia Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 I think it's rude of whom ever to keep rating your threads so low. I love reading them and you always have something interesting to say. I also want to let you know that my 49yo eyes actually prefer reading your text in bold print, LOL! :D You are doing the right thing with this nurse by going over her head and by getting a new nurse. She doesn't sound like much of a nurse to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunshine Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 I don't care what font you use, it shows you know how to use them!! :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mommaduck Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 (edited) Jumping in for (((hugs))) and to boost your rating ;) Good grief, people...if you don't want to read a personal thread, then don't, but leave the stars alone unless it REALLY needs rating (good or bad).

Mommyof4ks Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 Grrrrr...that kind of negligence from someone who really should know better is ridiculous. She sounds like the ER nurses at the hospital we go to to get my son's port accessed for abx *sigh*. Hopefully you can switch soon and get a better nurse.

Impish Posted August 24, 2009 Author Share Posted August 24, 2009 Well, thanks for the compliments! Good thing I don't have the capacity to have an inflated ego :lol: I've made some calls, waiting for returns. *sigh* The nurse I spoke to from the other agency has given me info on how to take it to a provincial level as well. I consider this nurse flat out dangerous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unicorn. Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 Glad to see you taking charge and going over her head. She IS dangerous. I am shocked that she's the supervisor- scary! Oh, and I love your bold font. I don't have to squint to read it- so THANKS! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Impish Posted August 24, 2009 Author Share Posted August 24, 2009 Glad to hear from some folks that like the bold, lol! I'm definitely pursuing it. I don't even really want another nurse from the same agency, to be honest. I just don't want her anywhere near my care, in any capacity. The pharmacist really likes and knows the nurse that normally would have come out, but she's been on vacation since before my treatments started, so I agreed to try and get ahold of her. If I can't by Wed am, I'm calling the pharmacist and demanding the change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
