“ It was not a great relationship, we never got along, He was a very strict person, never really showed emotions. It was as if he never was there for me when I needed him. I don’t like to talk about him.” Okay, so then let’s move on. Tell me how was your relationship with victor? Can we consider him your best friend growing
A newly hired RN who was previously a tech finds she is now shunned by both groups. Is this just life as a nurse or a nurse’s rite of passage? Or is it something more insidious? These behaviors go by several names: lateral or horizontal violence, incivility, nurse-to-nurse bullying, sabotage - “nurses eating their young”. As kind and compassionate as nurses can be to their patients, they can be just as mean and hateful to their colleagues.
McMurphy is a martyr because he does all he can to challenge the patients at the ward to find themselves. McMurphy helps the patients see that they are not robots by challenging Nurse Ratched power. During a conversation with some of the acutes, McMurphy bets them that he can make the nurse lose her temper within a week. McMurphy says, “I can get the best of that women - before the week’s up – without her getting the best of me?”(Kesey 73). McMurphy wants the patients to change their opinion about how weak they are and how strong the Big Nurse is.
But he soldiers on, keeping a brave face for his son, perhaps believing that even if death awaits him there is the slightest chance of delivering his son to safety. It's an overwhelmingly improbable chance, but it's one he has to take. Keeping his son alive and away from harm has become the sole purpose in his life, a mission he gladly undertakes out of love and devotion for his only child. The Road says a lot about what it means to be a parent, about how you will instinctively do absolutely anything to protect your children, even at the expense of your own well-being, but also that you have to make your children aware of the realities and dangers of the world so they can one day fend for themselves. Protecting your children won't do them any good at all if they never learn to live on their own.
Well anyway, I walked away from all those yellow pieces of crap, I was beginning to feel like a loner. But I didn’t give a damn about those sonuvabitches. But I had nowhere to go, I knew no damn thing, so I just stayed around with ‘em all. The days went by and I grew stubborn more and more ‘bout leaving. What all my siblings do is make fun of my goddam color, you know what they really are?
The residents then have to be escorted to and from each meal through out the day. Most of the residents need to lay down in between meals so the CNAs are constantly laying them down and getting them back up. In between all the chaos , the CNAs are busy answering call lights, toileting the residents, passing out ice water, taking vitals signs , and the most important thing, charting. All day long it seems like you are racing with the clocks and that the time is running against you. I don’t care what nursing facility you work at, there is never enough staff.
I don't even know what to say it's just like everything I do is just wrong in this family and honestly no one even cares about me they only care about me when it's convenient for them and I just can't deal with it anymore I'm tired of not being wanted unless there's something in it for everybody else. Mike yells at me for no reason and everyone excludes me from the conversation and most of the time I just want to leave. Mom and mike only ask annie and Mia what's going on with them and how they're so happy for them and so proud and then they just let me sit there and yet don't ask me anything or say any of that to me. Then mike gives me attitude or yells at me when I don't do anything but his kids could murder someone in front of his face and he would say congrats like are you fucking kidding me ? !
When an employee is bombarded with too many patients under their care, it causes stress to the employee, and as an effect they lose concern for the patient. Many geriatric care facilities are under staffed, and the pay rate is very low compared to other health care professions. Nurse’s aides have a very high job turnover rate which leads to lack of bonding with their patient, and the patient receiving a new caregiver every few months, which will cause confusion to both the patient and the employee. Inadequate staffing is a huge factor and problem in nursing homes. According to the U.S. House of Representatives, majority of nursing homes do not have enough staff to meet the levels recommended by federal officials; the levels recommended are 3.45 nursing hours per patient daily.
During this time of bare bones staffing. Many nurses are tired. The accuity of patients does not help this situation. Many nurses bare the achiness and tiredness and push on because the patient is their top priority and deserve the best they have to give. Other nurses and staff members are not this strong, opting to go elsewhere to only do their ‘fair share’.
Fighting is never the answer. Greasers have always had it the hard way but when they stick together things turn out to be okay. (compound sentence) They all have hearts of stone. (metaphor) They have to deal with stereotypes and they never fit in. They do not have families that care about them or want them.
