Gentiva Hospice

Not sure how to start. Had a family member on hospice and we had to call the overnight nurse to tend to her. It was my sister in law. She had cancer and was having an awful night with pain and being really restless. The nurse came, it was 2:40 in the morning, she arrived with a crappy attitude, tended to my sister in law on and off and in between tending to my sister she kept complaining about how hard her life is being a single mother and having a miserable mother of her own .And she had conversations on her cell phone arguing and swearing with family. She was a complete bimbo and I had to double check to see if she was a nurse. Kept talking about herself.. WHO CARES. I didn’t need to hear a rundown on her life. I have a dying relative, and other distraught family members. I don’t need to hear about the visiting nurses life, family problems, and the «poor me, I’m a single mother» speech. Go back on welfare if you can’t handle working. Better yet don’t have children and leave them at 3.00 in the morning. Better yet, keep quiet and do your job. Families are tired, and sad. It’s not the place to air your personal miseries.
The usual nurse we had during the day wasn’t bad, but she was hurried, and we had different nurses all the time. Cna was very nice. As was social work and clergy. But the nursing was awful. Managers not helpful when you call I’d never use this hospice again, I told her doctor and the hospital social worker how awful they are.
