6/14
Super Nurse wanted to stay home today but felt like she couldn't after yesterday's incident. A nurse at the hospital nearly killed Clare by shear incompetence. If She hadn't been there they'd be planning Clare's funeral. That's no dramatic exaggeration, the mistake was that big. She was UPSET.

Anyway, Super Nurse had wanted to stay home today for a rest, but after yesterday she doesn't think she has that option. She went back today to watch out for her Mom, and to go head-to-head with the hospital administration over the quality of care that almost cost Clare her life. She is still upset, it was a bonehead error and the nurse insisted it was their hospital's standard procedure. We shall see.

If anyone can shake up a whole hospital to raise it's standard of care it would have to be the Super Nurse. She's knowledgeable, and she can't be bluffed. I'm expecting an interesting report tonight.

I'd say that her family should be grateful for keeping Clare alive yesterday, but she didn't tell them. She didn't want to upset the rest of her family. But she did conduct a free seminar with the nurse on safe and proper procedure. The nurses at the hospital actually like her, several have told her they could use her and she could certainly get a job there if she wanted one. That's not much comfort though.
