Do You Think The Full Moon Affects People?

You do still need a visa to go from west side of LA into the valley! You get stopped at Mulholland Dr.

 

As it should be...

I have worked in nursing homes now for 14-15 years (yikes) and there is something to the full moon effect but there are plenty of other days that residents will act just as crazy. And with sundowners sometimes that can happen in the morning or the afternoon.

My father did. He was in a nursing home a few months before he died and said some of the patients acted up during a full moon.

 

 

I think there is a widespread belief in the full-moon effect among people in the nursing profession. They all swear that the incidence of death and other untoward events is higher during the full moon.

 

On my very first real job, I worked the night shift as an orderly at a VA hospital. On a full moon, the nursing supervisor would always say something like, "Fasten your seat belts, it's a full moon."
