I came in to the ER, wanting/needing mental help super badly. Some of the nurses were sort of touchy, SUPER DOOPER rude, saying how I wasn t cooperating . Ended up staying in different units/parts of this whole facility multiple times throughout.
Made me urine in a cup, took my blood. saying how they didn t think I needed to be admitted, they just told me to take a nap & wake up in the AM. When all I could hear were all these noises of slamming doors, beeping unpleasant noises. Which I mean, that is pretty normal for being in an emergency room but I happened to be in a separate ER room a few days before & had much better care when it came to sleeping. & what wasn t normal was when two of the nurses made me take my hoodie off & stuck a needle in me (this time not drawing my blood)!!! & I remember being severely bruised purple, shortly after. Then the next day when I happened to still be in the ER, someone came through to test me for COVID, brought me into a whole other separate, room to take that test for some odd reason. Then once I figured out that I tested positive, I was pretty confused because they never really told me much about that factor. It wasn t until I had the majorrr diarrhea (a symptom of COVID hint hint!) for them to actually do something to change where I happened to be in the hospital at that moment. I m not saying they necessarily gave me COVID-19 but I m saying I m doing much better now, vaccinated even if I didn t plan on it, & that looking back, it s all a bit weird. I learned I had to advocate for myself after awhile cos these staff members acted so soft in the head for the most part!!! I mean, they all said how sweet I was but I think that the survey i got in the mail will needs to be filled out.
& I mean, even though it was otherwise unnecessary for me to stay in their care. Laying in a hospital bed for at least 12 days before I moved on to the next hospital, I would say that I got along with all of the LNAs just as much as they did me after awhile. & even if some stuff I didn t detail & I witnessed was completely scary/messed up, I feel like I would go back to this particular hospital if I ever needed help or anything else.
P.S - Plus I ve always dreamed of working in a hospital, & always thought about a job as an LNA so it s also a consideration if I didn t live a bit further away from the city of keen now!:)
