Mom(82 years old) was taken in by ambulance at 1pm...

Mom(82 years old) was taken in by ambulance at 1pm, stayed there in a chair waiting until 3pm taken back to lie down and given an iv for fluids since she has had dyrea for two days, I put her in a diaper, for the first time, Wednesday night before bed, she got up at noon the diaper had feces in it and she told me not to change her and to just call the ambulance since she was hurting so bad. When I could finally drag myself to the hospital after 48 hours with no sleep taking care of her, I showed up at the hospital around 7:30 that evening and she was still wearing the same dirty diaper full of feces when she lft at noon, besides sleeping in it all night.
Brian, moms night RN, who had just started his shift was by the previous shift nurse that her diaper was changed and she was clean, not true. When I told Brian that wasn't the case he sprung into action and took fantastic care of her. So Brian gets a five star in my book, the hospital a 3 and the RN nurse before Brian a 0.
