Ever hear that expression, "lowering the boom"? It's pretty descriptive of the way I felt tonight when my dear, sweet DON told me, ever so gently, that I might want to be prepared for lean times ahead: Our census has been dropping for weeks, and the numbers aren't going up any time in the foreseeable future; ergo, nursing hours are about to be cut.

My instructor seemed pleased with her response, but it seemed unethical to me. It is very frustrating when patients continuously refuse their medications, as they certainly feel better when they stay on schedule, but isn't it ultimately the patient's right to refuse them without having to worry about someone "sneaking" them into their food?
