[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 312834, member: 84"] Donna Thankfully I've not had it happen to me. Ma'am bothers me enough. But at least that's respectful. When did I become a ma'am anyway? lol I wonder what that magical line is? mother in law is getting more than her fair share of this treatment in the nursing home. I've stopped many an aide...and a few nurses.....and called them out on it. You're right, it's disrespectful. Terms like Honey and Sweetie imply a level of intimacy that isn't there. It's degrading to older people. The kid was most likely attempting to be nice and personable. I've seen it far too often. In school they're attempting to drum it into the students heads not to use such terms with patients. Instead to use Mr. or Mrs. unless the patient doesn't have an issue with them using their first names. Cinicals start this week. Guess we'll soon see how well that stuck. lol ((hugs)) [/QUOTE]
