A little better,

making baby steps in the right direction. Last night was terrible. THe nurse was not a good one. I had to talk with her about being gentle and treating patients with extra care. She was doing her job, but creating more pain for Elizabeth each time she touched her. All the other nurses have been really good. This one was young and I approached the situation like she needs to learn a lesson in compassion. I had a long talk with her and told her that Elizabeth had written things/names about her that were not nice. I also told that she is not welcome in Elizabeth's room again. She left and came back a little bit later to apologize to both of us. She really hadn't realized she was hurting Elizabeth (even though I told her each and every time she did). She said she reported our conversation to the charge nurse and then thanked me for corrective criticism. She was crying when she left our room. Gotta run. Elizabeth is beckoning me.
