A pediatric travel nurse named Mikey emphasizes the importance of positive interactions between parents and hospital staff in a TikTok PSA. He shares how parents can inadvertently turn nurses into 'villains' by using threatening language, especially around vulnerable children. Mikey cites an instance where a mother scared her child about a necessary treatment by implying it would lead to a painful shot. This kind of behavior can exacerbate a child’s fear and makes the staff’s job harder, ultimately hindering the healthcare experience for both patient and caregiver.
If you are bringing your kid to the hospital, especially if they are like, 'stranger danger' age... I am begging you not to make the nurse the villain.
You need to keep it in, or they're gonna come do pow-pow. Shots probably shouldn't be used as a threat - they're important for your health!
