I'm curious as to what was the worst experience you've had with a nurse (or other healthcare staff) and what's the best? Have you ever had one nurse that left a lasting impression and if so, what did they do to create that impression? I'm in nursing school.. but I would like to know from a patient perspective what to do and what not to do in the future.

I would have definitely mentioned her by name in the surveys they send out. I don't understand where people get off.. or why people who don't belong in healthcare stay there

Well it's not that NO one wants to. Did I want to clean up pee when I worked at Taco Bell and people were just inconsiderate? Hell no. But if it's going to help one of my patients, then I want to. Especially if they were continent and it was my fault because I didn't get there on time. Also, I wouldn't yell at my patient anyways even if something was their fault. I'm not in any position to do that.
