Things That Make Us Laugh

If you work in long term care there are always those residents that frustrate us to no end with either their words or behaviors. I want to tell a couple of stories about what these residents drive us to. My first story is one that one of my nurses told me. She said that she had had a couple of trying days with one particular resident over the previous week. The night before she said, I had a dream with you in it. My first thought was OMG. The nurse told me that in the dream I told her she could hit him with a broom as long as she used the bristle end not the handle. It was even funnier because the nurse saying this is such a sweet kind person that never raises her voice. I hope to share more stories on the post.
