I'm so glad your mom is doing better, and making a good recovery.
So it comes across that the majority of the problems were this one nurse?
I totally agree that you should have spoken to the charge nurse, or better still the nurse manager for that unit. Sometimes as I mentioned you get a bad nurse that everyone else sees as a bad nurse, but they are hard to get rid of. Also as you said he coud be having difficulties with the cultural differences. I do know they do alot of things differently in other countries.
As for that patient telling you that you were negative? Heh I've had that happen, and yep it is hard to put your own life aside and focus only on them. I went through my own mother's cancer ordeal and went into work and dealt with cranky, crazy neuro patients. It's not easy. All I can say is there are good days and bad days. That's why we have LJ and LJ buddies. :)
