“Telling them can you get my chemo done by 5 o’clock?”
Does she think for one minute the nurses wouldn’t rather be at home with their kids too? Show a bit of respect. Every other person in that chemo unit also has a life to live.
I worked in a chemo unit when my kids were at school at it was Mon-Fri 9-5 ....however we were often open way past this time , especially if we had a challenging cannulation
which is often the case as veins become very difficult to cannulate over time with repeated chemotherapy cycles ,or chemo was late going up or a blood transfusion overran ( you can't just speed up a blood transfusion or chemotherapy infusion to finish at 5!) then we often had to wait for hospital transport to pick up these patients after their treatment had finished and make sure they were stable enough to go home
I lost count of the number of times I had to fly out of the unit
often without having had a proper break all day in order to pick up kids from after school childcare ( which shut at 6) was the reason I eventually had to leave as I had no family nearby to help out and husband worked away from home
