First year of nursing. How young and naive I was then.
Had an middle aged "gentleman" in full blown DT's: combative, hallucinations, etc. Required 4 point restraints. As I'm tying him to the bed, he looks up at me and says, "Baby, one night we can get a bottle, a room, and we can do this ALL night long. In the morning we can call the fire department to come cut me loose. But D**n baby, I gotta go to work in the morning!"
I was left speechless as my coworker laughed her way onto the floor.
Later that same night, I went into his room (now restrained). He asks, "Who are you?". I stated, "I'm SuzyQ, your nurse." His reply? "You aren't much of a nurse or you'd be up here riding me like a horse!"
Uh? Was that in my job description? Cuz I think I need a raise!
