I acknowledge mistakes happen. On Thurs., Jan. 25th, 2018 floor 8B I was sleeping overnight with my Uncle and nurse Kelly walked into his room and started talking about organ donation (of another patient) to the respiratory nurse in my Uncle's room. When nurse Kelly was asked not to converse (about organ donation) in front of my Uncle nurse Kelly should have stop talking, walked out of the room & continued the conversation in the hallway. My Uncle did not know she was not talking about him! When she continued to talk to the respiratory nurse in the room after I corrected her it became disrespectful and thoughtless! When I returned to his room after telling the charge nurse Ms. Mary about nurse Kelly I saw tears roll out of my Uncle s eyes. My Uncle could not speak or open his eyes but he could hear us because he respond to commands. I was being his advocate. Studies show family should sleep overnight with their loved ones to be their advocate when they can t be for themselves. That last sentence may leave others to believe it was a victim thought but it was a thought to empower not diminish. I wanted corrective behavior (no not fired). It was no longer a mistake but disrespect when she continued to speak to the respiratory nurse. Nurse Kelly was taught how to do the right thing. Example, in nursing school there are classes to teach nurses about HIPPA, sensitivity training, etc & the nurse still choose to do something different. When you know better you do better & nurse Kelly choose not to do better. It was her responsibility to uphold what she was taught. The reason I gave four stars was because the rest of my Uncle's nurses was awesome & I did not want to tarnish their good by nurse Kelly.
