I work in a dementia ward. AMA Sup Forums

What's your job exactly?
Cause for all I know you could be the janitor or something boring

How many times you come into contact with shit everyday

Where do you work

how many times did you fiddle

I'm a nurse's aide and I cook on weekends for more hours.

Never. The procedures for health and safety are pretty strict tbh, unless you're giving patients a bath there's no real risk.

In a dementia ward.

Never have, but I like to play harmonica.

do u get blowjobs there?

I got one from a co-worker in the parking lot once, she was a qt 3.14 but threw up on my leather seats and hasn't talked to me since.

what age children do you babysit?

The sex must be great, your dick must smell awful .. can't have everything.

Have you talked any daft rich oldies into leaving you stuff in their wills?

Do you guys ever get people in their fifties and stuff? Who are the youngest patients?

how good is the sex?

What’s the sex like?

maybe you should try taking the initiative to talk to her, she probably feels bad...

You ever had sex?

What’s it like to sex with someone yes?

Sexual intercourse?

Sexual interstellar overgasm

Imagine sex but with a aides

No. It's not very easy to get real information someone who can't remember their name.

Youngest patient I've met was 55.
He was chill.

Thanks for having actual questions.

Ace of spades space of aides (her tight wet meat flaps) have you considered sex?!?

USA? How many patients do you tend?
And what is the gender split?

> (You)
>USA? How many patients do you tend?
Around 40 per won't, so 200 something.

>And what is the gender split?
Way more women. I know all the men by name, and I have a bad memory.

I have stories, if you want a greentext.

How much anal do you average a week

Op here. Here's a story.

That's wild. Any more stories?

Yeah I was going to ask who the youngest was as well.

Do you get angry patients? I've heard dementia can really frustrate sufferers and they can lose their rag easily.

How long do most people last? Can someone live like that for 10-20 years or do they tend to die fairly quickly?

Am interested. This is freaky shit.

I'm interested

>Yeah I was going to ask who the youngest was as well.

Glad to help.
>Do you get angry patients? I've heard dementia can really frustrate sufferers and they can lose their rag easily.

Most just sit there, blank stares and rocking in a chair.
>How long do most people last? Can someone live like that for 10-20 years or do they tend to die fairly quickly?
The place is basically a casket with tv and rubber forks.

Continue, OP

HAe you ever fuck a granny? or fap fap on the name of one?

Surely dealing with that shit on a daily basis makes you appreciate your own life. Do you try make the most of your time off and do things or are you exhausted? Can you switch off and forget about what you deal with when you drive home?

how big is ur dick?

do you check there temperature?

> the end is near, cont

No. The reality is horrifying. But you learn to deal. Personally, I enjoy my job. It's an easy routine, and the reward is that there's some days a patient looks at you and says "You are a good person. Thank you." As someone with a lot of baggage, it's... Something.

Continue brother, we're still here.

I am hooked go on.

are there any hot old asians with dementia there?

I guess you'd say it gets pretty.......... CRAZY IN THERE! Haha get it op? It's funny because of dementia.

Rip
any more stories?

OP how many patients are there?

That's the scariest thing that's happened to me.
But I have a few others.

Go ahead and tell em, man

Ever heard of confidentiality?

Ever heard of a definition? It's what a word means, user. It's not against policy to discuss what patients have done if you don't name them, because the incidents are an actual learning experience for all nurses and future nurses.

I have another one coming. It's not scary, more sad.

Fuck off this thread is entertaining and who cares about that?

Do you have the Babadook trapped in your basement?

Bumping waiting for OPs next story

you know you're violating HIPAA by telling stories, right?

user aint naming anyone nigga.

For the boys who are interested and not asking idiotic questions to kill the thread bump limit.

For this guy, all stories on Sup Forums are regarded as fiction, or do you only know rules that don't apply to situations?

He's actually not. No information was given by which the person(s) in the story can be identified.

My sister is working in one aswell. Do you see this being your job till you retire?

I'm I once had to figth a patient who tried to set fire to the complex he was in, have you tried stuff like that? (I'm a firefigther btw)

how many of them have forgot about dre?

Ha. No. I'm taking classes to get a degree in computer science. I already applied to be IT where I work now, since I've already passed the background check and shit.
As nurses, we are legally bound to not injure or cause harm to patients in any way. On a situation where a resident sets a fire, we call the fire Department and evacuate the complex. What I mean is, the resident's safety is our primary concern, we're here to give them the care they need. If a resident is super hostile, we have hypodermic needles with stuff that would make a drug addict swoon. Hope that answers your question.

Story #2

Knock it off, there is finally an interesting thread. Slow as it is.

bump

Continue plz

Bump.

Sorry Sup Forumsros, I'm on my phone and this is a very recent event. It's fresh in my mind, so I want to get it off my chest.

> serving that dank French toast
> I am a good cook, when I want to be
> nurse that was helping George eat comes to the window

> the nurse looks kind of confused, but she also has the look known to me as "I know this didn't happen, but I'll humor the patient"
> "hey user"
> btw this wasn't my qt3.14 leather seat ruining blow job co-worker
> "yes ma'am?"
> "George says he used to work with you at a grocery store of all places. Now isn't that silly?"
> no. I can handle being clawed to death.
> but not George. Don't take this man's memories. Don't take away his years of kindness.
> my father offed himself when I was 3
> when I told George all those years ago, he said
>"Fathers are people, user. And there are people everywhere. What matters is the people who care."
> I care. I work there every damn day just to pay my bills, but I wouldn't trade the golden moments for anything.
> nurse stares at me.
>" perhaps you can clear this matter up. He's quite insistent he wants to talk to you."
> go to George
> "Hello, sir. My name is-"
> "You'll have to forgive me, user. My hearing has all but gone after these years."
> he called me by name.
> he couldn't remember what a damn cucumber was
> he knew my name.
> sit and have breakfast with the man who inspired me.
> be lunch
> still reeling from earlier
> go to have lunch with George
> as I enter the dining room, he called to me
> "user, is that you? We used to work together at a grocery store. Why haven't I seen you here yet?"
> this guy couldn't remember breakfast.
> he knew my name.

Is everyone there with alzheimer's or are there a few there with brain damage from accidents/strokes/etc?

Thank you user for sharing this.

where do you work?

lame.

Dreading this myself since I start My first shift Monday at a memory care facility. Worked long term care and hospice before so I think I have enough experience with dementia for this.

One last story, and I've got to go. But I'll be back later, just less sober.

> be me
> be walking out of dining area after lunch with George
> hear his nurse wasting his time.
> just as I'm at the door, I hear George say
> "Forgive me. I know this is a odd question, but I'm having one of those silly moments where your brain forgets something."
> "What is my name?"

George.

Damn

wash out one of the patients butty with a piece of soap

One of the hardest things starting out is to adjust to the ratio of the different illnesses of the patients. Many of them won't have only dementia.

Already have experience there. Most of my stroke victims were also moderate staged dementia as well. Quite a few Parkinson's also had co-morbidity with stuff like heart disease or diabetes.
Had an uncle with early onset Alzheimer's that died from a heart attack 20 years ago so I know that the diseases are often paired.

Are you sure you work there?
