That about sums up my day today. This is a rant post. Please add on if your day was also dumb.

1. 90% of my patients were morbidly obese and smelled of fumunda because they can't reach all their nooks and cranies when they bathe (if they bathe)

2. Gravida 13, Para 6, 7 spontaneous abortions with pelvic pain who left a tampon in her kooka for 2 weeks causing me to skip lunch. The smell is burned into my memory

3. The triage nurse who hates me for some reason.

A friend had a pt with pelvic pain and itching who turned out to have 3, ahem THREE, used condom left up there. The pts' response? Oh, I guess no more drunk sex ...

it was clearly labeled a rant......it is generally frowned upon to stomp on someone else's rant.

The rant stomp (rant block?) was from a pre-nursing student.

Lol I will make sure my family members make a laundry list of all the things that have been bothering them for the past year so that they can all get addressed during their ER visit. You know, those silly copay's.

For whatever reason you must treat your patients like your love ones and have you forgotten the confidentiality rule that you must not disclose information. Smh...are you sure you are in this field because you love it or for .....

There are somethings that nurses at the bedside in specialty areas understand...you start school summer 2014 right?

The OP made it clear that this was a vent......some days...as you will find out....are tougher than others and you need to let it out or explode. As you go forward on your nursing journey you will see how this actually helps us maintain our empathy and caring......that some days you just have to let it out.

I think in general in nursing we need to have more understanding and empathy for each other......use that same empathy we offer to our patients...and offer it to our peers. Nursing is a hard profession both physically and mentally...some days are just tougher than others.

back to topic.......

Student or not, these are legitimate rants for anyone!

I've got a doozy, but several people have done this. You KNOW you're allergic to shellfish, that does NOT mean you can take a dose of Benadryl and then go to the Red Lobster and get the shrimp scampi! If your child is allergic to peanuts, that does not mean you give him a PB&J with a side of chips and Benadryl! Some people shouldn't be allowed to reproduce. . .

What if you jab yourself with your epipen first, and then eat? Seems legit.

i was squeezing my member really hard, multiple times, and a little discharge came out. So I grabbed that girl I just met and brought her to the ER for std testing/treatment.

I wish I could make this stuff up
