Am I over thinking this nurses behaviour?

[EachandEveryone]

Honestly I’m probably just tired I’m riddled with cancer and have been in a and e with a sugar of 30 and what seems to be a raging infection for three days waiting for a bed, I got one this morning.

The nurse with me has the same birthday and seems delighted by that. She keeps taking her mask off to compare faces. I’m on hourly blood sugars but she comes in at least five times am hour especially if my work colleagues are here (nurse) she keeps looking down at my phone if a message comes through and keeps trying to take it to charge it. She is very helpful but stands there until I say thank you even if I’ve just said it for the previous thing she did two minutes ago. It’s the same thing saying good bye she makes me say it but is back in the room two minutes later. Do u think I’m just fragile?

She sounds immature and ridiculous. Is this what they're like these days? She's there to look after patients, not seek constant validation.

Maybe she is trying to cheer you up. I hope you feel better soon.

She'd be irritating the hell out of me too! I hope you feel better soon and can escape her care.

She’s 58 and is from
somewhere that was really badly affected during the war and can u beleive within 15 mins she was talking about press propaganda it mad me feel
unseyyled and of course I’m not going to have an opinion on something I haven’t lived through.my friend quickly changed the subject. She’s back now. Hopefully my alarms will stop going off.

im a nurse and this is not appropriate. Tell her u need a
rest and want peace and quiet. And move your phone when she comes in.

is there a head person in the ward you could speak to to ask to swap her out from your care

Which war? She shouldn't be talking politics with you or pestering you.

You see now she has put my alarm
off and gave me a motherly breast rub like my Granny used

i guess she rubbed me up when she gave me tea in a sippy cup I was so upset and she couldn’t understand why

bloody bm
is up to 20 now

Her boundaries need adjusting. It’s lovely for nurses, doctors, HCAs to be friendly & have a little chat but this is too much.

Did you say you’re also a nurse? Maybe she sees that as making you instant best friends?

I’m a bit confused op? Which war? If she’s touching you i appropriately you need to tell someone and ask to stay away from you. This sounds like such an odd situation

Is she a qualified nurse? Regardless, she sounds quite deranged.

what the flying feck is a motherly breast rub- yours or hers it is inappropriate. report her asap

She sounds very irritating, not to mention patronising as hell.

That would really get my back up before very long. I'd probably hide my phone and pretend to be asleep whenever she was nearby.

Which war was she on about. She does know that the Second World War ended over 80 years ago now, in 1945?? Right??

If she is touching you inappropriately (breast rub??) then you should complain about her.

For some people it’s all
they learned in history their city is seeped in it I’ve been and my friend from the same place also knows a lot about it inside and out. She even managed to get in that she belongs to a groip that goes to schools talking about the other groups that were targeted. I don’t want to say anymore it makes me uncomfortable. Also I was just talking to the matron about work when there was a snigger from the corridor and we both looked at each other made the big ear sign so she knows what I think. I just need to chill and hope my mates come soon. Hopefully there’s some good telly on tonight.

If you were my mate I’d be making sure she was kept away from you and someone else assigned to your care. She’s inappropriate. I’d be highly irritated in your shoes. It’s upsetting enough to read about. You poor thing!

So alarm just went off three times and each time she rubbed my shoulder whilst she turned it off

she asked me if I wanted a cup of tea I saidihas one and she rubbed my chin and said lucky girl, I can’t get into it anymore.

my mate is coming from the same country I don’t know whether to tell him not to there might be a huge ding dong 😀

Why do some people just seem to have so little awareness ? I have just been to give blood and this NHS person jumped in to put the needle in my arm. She then hesitated for ten minutes ( I had already been waiting 35 minutes past appointment time) whilst completely oversharing stories of her holiday encounters, her favourite restaurant, how her and her husband manage their finances, her NHS pension and how she had retired and returned, her claiming a disability benefit , how the drs had told her she was too fat for a knee replacement etc etc. I was gobsmacked. Why would an NHS patient be remotely interested in all this ? I just wanted the blood taken so I could be on my merry way. There is being friendly and then there is completely oversharing inappropriate stuff and it isn't fair on people..
Your Nurses behaviors sounds completely inappropriate. I would complain to the nurse in charge.

My temp is 39.9 what the hell can be wrong with me

As a nurse, wtf??

And we’re not supposed to share our political opinions. She sounds nuts.

I had RMN 1-1 for several weeks and some of them had no boundaries at all. Obviously they have to be able to see you, but there is an art to doing that subtly!

One of them set up their entire workstation right next to my bed, inside the curtains. They were really big and tall and I couldn't even get in and out of bed properly as half my booth was full of nurse and computer. And all their stuff, like three bags worth?

One burst in on me when I was in the toilet 1 minute after I went inside for a wee.

Others were really respectful and kept their distance and even let me close the curtains on them when I had visitors.

So yeah, overbearing nurses who seem to loom over you and get too close can get really annoying. Even if they are just doing their job.

I hope you get out of there soon x

You posted another thread about another nurse! I think you have an issue with nurses!

OP has posted about another nurse in another thread! I think she has a problem with nurses!

It’s the same one. Anyway the afternoons are usually quite nice especially on a weekend so I will practice my leg exercises otherwise o won’t be walking anywhere for long.

unfortunately it sounds to me like you are quite unwell and she's been tasked to keep a very close eye on you. it does sound a bit annoying but it's awkward however it's done other than spitting out that there are multiple features of your measurements that are very worrying and we're going to be all over you until things settle down?
