Do you think it is appropriate for a hospice nurse to hint around at how much of a patient’s medication it would take to kill them?

Is this common?

It has happened twice, both coincidentally (?) by nurses over age 60.

My young nurses are sweet and encouraging but are they secretly judging me for not overdosing hahaha

It makes me uncomfortable. I don’t even have to recertify until February. Leave me freakin be.

Highly inappropriate ... and leaves them responsible if (vulnerable) patient takes the advice.

Murder by proxy

@Magicianzini I think I will report them then. Honestly seems like they’re jaded by this line of work and need to retire

@SwampFlower I really wish you do decide to report, and I guess there's always a reason people do bad things ... but that's still no excuse. Definitely time to retire and step aside for those with love still left in their hearts.

@SwampFlower I agree that you should report it to the hospital.
