Ugh goddamn. Of course on the night I purposely wanted to work a night shift so I could actually get some work done on this paper, I have a seriously agitated and confused resident to tend to. *sigh*
I guess I'll be ready for kids when the time comes.

Actually, this resident wandered off down the street during the day shift and fell. Paramedics were called and they brought her back here. Fucking incompetence that the day nurse could let that happen. And she apparently had the nerve to tell the evening nurse "You need to keep an eye on her." Fucking really? Fuck.
So yeah, I'm sure that her confusion has a lot to do with that. This woman is the sweetest thing, it breaks my heart that she knows what she wants/needs, but cannot express it clearly. She gets so frustrated when the words don't come out right.

Surely the day nurse would be fired for something like that?
But yeah, it's kinda rough watching that. What's her condition/ailment?

Hmm, well it would be a confidentiality issue to give specifics on the internet. But I would just chalk it all up to old age. She's actually quite well, relatively speaking.

Yeah, fair enough, sorry Pie.
I remember what my gran was like, for about 5 years before she passed away. She had Alzheimer's and it was so hard to watch She was the most lovely, friendly lady in the world, and then she just got all broken.

S'all good. Oh, and about the day nurse being fired - haha! Don't even get me started. This is a private facility, and the crap that goes on here would NEVER happen at a government regulated organization. Oy. I can't wait to have a proper job, although it's gonna be hard to leave these residents behind.
