Josh doesn't have great control of his arms and hands yet. A lot of times he splays them out to the side or by his head but he can't get them back to his chest and it stresses him. The physical therapist showed me how to help him bring his arms back in and calm him.
Long story longer, I was doing that when his stats started to go wonky. He was fine after a sec. The nurse came in, saw that my hands were on his hands, and said if I was going to keep making Josh so mad and upset that she wasn't going to keep running in here every time his alarm went off. She said I'm bothering him.
I already almost reported her for not handling Josh gently enough. I spoke to her about that and she said she understood and would be extra careful...then never made a change.
Unfortunately for her I was already in a righteously p!ssed off mood. Sooo as soon as the charge nurse gets here she will be reported. Today is NOT the day, mean nurse lady.
People can be so insensitive. Obviously you were trying to help him, not bother him. Plus you are his mom you can "bother" him all you want. I hate rude people. Sorry.
First off, HUGS. The nurse definitely needs to be reported, especially for threatening to withhold care for any reason. You did absolutely nothing wrong and it is awful of the nurse to imply that you did. You were being Josh's mom and doing what the PT sh

How dare she. Report her right away. You're his mother and were just comforting him. She can't threaten to withhold care. Don't cry, you mean well. You're just taking care of your baby :]
I'm so sorry that this is happening. You should definitely report her. This nurse has no right to threaten you in any way. In threatening to not come to Josh's add when the alarms go off she is refusing to do her job, this may be a point that you would ne
I talked to the charge nurse. She was really nice and it turns out she happens to be our nurse's direct supervisor. She said she would address everything with the nurse immediately and that we had the option of never having her as our nurse again.
Oh hell no! How dare she threaten to withhold care! She can't do that. Glad the charge nurse is talking to her about it and you have the option to never have her as a nurse again. That nurse sounds like the ultimate twatwaffle. Josh is your son and you we

I know from experience...you def need to speak up. Ds1 lived in the hospital for over 9mo. We have had our share of bad/crazy nurses. Ask if the hospital your at does something called "primary nurses". To sum it up, if you get a really good nurse that you
This pisses me off. You need to get the name of the Nurse Manager and speak to them as well as the charge nurse. Charge nurses change every shift and sometimes things get left out in report and this is something that everyone should be aware of.
I'm so sorry K. Sometimes people are just a**holes. You are being a wonderful Mom, so please try not to take it personal. And I hope you do report her.
We lost our first (EDD 07/23/12) after finding out at 12 weeks there was no longer a heartbeat. Our rainbow was born 05/22/13 and was worth all we went through.

The charge nurse actually walked back with me to Josh's room to observe the nurse. Then she and the nurse left for a while. When the nurse came back, she handled Joshua much more gently! VICTORY.
Re: I'm going to cry
Oh hell no! Report her . She's lucky that she didn't get an earful that started with "Listen, b*tch", since that's what I'd love to do.
The PT told you what to do.
He's your child.
And how dare she threaten to withhold care?

I may just have to plan a trip to visit, just so I can thump that nurse's skull for ya.
Seriously though, you are his mother, so you (and his daddy) ultimately make decisions for him. That nurse needs a lesson in respect.
