Nurse yelled at us for playing around with gloves ?

Question

So me and my cuz were at the hospital visiting my uncle who had an operation on his knee, well anyway, we were kind of bored so we started playing around with the latex gloves, you know, like blowing them up, slapping each other with them, then this nurse came along and yelled at us for "wasting" the gloves and said if we didn't stop we would be kicked out. Is this fair? Is it wrong to take gloves from the hospital? I've done it before and never got in trouble, i remember once when I was 9 and had my appendix removed the doctor blew one up and drew a smiley face on it to cheer me up. Have the rules changed now?

Answer 1

The nurse don't have the right to yell at you,she should say politely instead..but by right,the latex gloves are rather precious and it is expensive,for a box..but you shouldn't be playing with it in the ward,especially when there are patients around,its unappealing..the doctor do that to cheer you up because you were a kid who had to go for surgery,but do you think he would do that if you were an adult?

Answer 2

No, the rules have not changed ... but you aren't nine any more, and you aren't a patient.

You were rude with a 'tude and had I seen you I would have called and had you escorted out of the building, and paged your parents to come get you.

Answer 3

nurses can be just like that. they have a lot of responsibilities. just roll with it. seriously. its not a big deal.

Answer 4

The nurse yelled at you because you were being stupid

Answer 5

I think the nurses was really rude to you! If it was me I would have called my father who is a doctor and so superior  of her and have slapped at her face

She would never do it again!

Answer 6

Ok, my mom is a nurse and she works 12 hours a day, and she has to put up with immature and rude visitors.  Plus, she has to touch dead people, clean up pools of blood and vomit, and she has to help doctors do surgery.  Every nurse has it really hard like she does, and when they see someone fooling around they will get mad or irritated.  I think that nurse was too hard on you guys, but you were acting kinda immature lol.   A doctor is a doctor, he has a lot of "power" in the hospital so he's not gonna get fired for blowing up a balloon.  It was for a good reason, but you guys were just fooling around and wasting gloves.  Hope I helped you understand lol =)
