To make matters worse, the nurse was out of it. She asked if she was okay, and the nurse responded, ” I have a case of the Mondays.”
The nurse then proceeded to get things ready without washing her hands before touching anything.
The nurse then put on gloves and began to touch items that she should not, including the garbage can, cabinets, and drawers.
Before flushing the port, the nurse did not put on a sterile mask or gloves.
In the end, she hands the patients the sterile mask and gloves that she did not use and says, “take these, so don’t go to waste.”
“I was really upset,” she explained. “I had to stop my partner from causing a scene because he saw it all and was pretty upset himself.”
“I am a slight infection risk, but what about every cancer patient that comes into that clinic for chemotherapy??”
After the port was flushed, she went home and reported this issue to her doctor, who then carried out an investigation.
After further review and a few weeks later, the nurse was fired.
Her mother is telling her that she overreacted and it was sad that they let the nurse go.
Should she have requested a new nurse for her next visit, or did she do the right thing by contacting the hospital?
