WOW. Nurses are not supposed to do shift report where patients (or anyone) can hear them. That is such a HIPAA violation. I hated it when they even came around with the med cart and would ask me questions about how I was feeling or how the meds were working. Like, really? Can we go somewhere private for this where not everyone else can hear?
I liked playing Wii bowling with some of the other patients. My last night inpatient I got to stay up about 30 minutes past lights out so this girl and I could finish our game, which was kind of amusing since we'd already taken our sleep meds so we were pretty groggy and making all kinds of mistakes. I don't mind the inpatient unit so much. If I didn't have to worry about making money, paying bills, and feeding my kitties, I'd almost prefer it. At least I have people to talk to when I'm in there, and no one treats me like crap.
