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.

Report the two for certain. Yet if even the younger ones "are they secretly judging me for not overdosing" there's a problem with the whole agency.

Would be best to not even use the whole agency. Please remember the younger ones often take their que from the older ones.

@DeWayfarer I don’t think I need to throw out the agency entirely. Overall they’ve been pretty great and supportive.

It’s just those two that make me really uncomfortable
