Night nurse Nancy should be fired. She would not follow doctor's orders, which were to keep a dying patient comfortable in their last hours on this Earth. It took intervention and confrontation by the patient's family for her to do her job and follow medical orders. She had extremely Inappropriate dealings with family, going so far as to accuse them of trying to cause their loved one to pass away more quickly when they requested that prescribed and scheduled medication to be administered as ordered. The patient was constantly watched over by family and was observed as restless, flailing, and making noises that indicated severe pain. That being said director and rest of staff wonderful
