Just when you think you've got a handle on how medicine works, a moggie comes along who breaks all the rules and achieves what shouldn't be possible.

Awesome work Turtle. Take care of your mom.

That being said, I've encouraged people to bring in pets on shifts that I'm working, telling them that I'd turn a blind eye. Many other nurses I know do the same thing.

The hospital I worked at had volunteer dogs that visited patients. They were all so cute with their photo ID tags

I see both aspects of it too. My Grandpa's nursing home had a cat on each floor and some birds as well. They'd wander around visiting people as they saw pleased on their respective floors. I know sometimes there is nothing like your own pet; but still I know that would make me happy to see!! The cat's had an area with a bed and toys too. They were a refreshing sight with so much sadness around them. His nursing home was part of the hospital; just in a big freestanding building next to it.

My dad's was like this...the cats came wandering in to see me the night I spent at his bedside shortly before he passed.
