I was working at a local hospital when I went into this elderly ladies room. I had notice she had ate all of her breakfast. I ask her how did she enjoy her meal she told me she did not eat not one single bite. So ask " well okay how ate your food?" she responded a big black bird well I just laughed and told her she better tell that bird to share with her . Well later on that afternoon I came in room right when she was eating her lunch and low and behold this big black bird hopped in thru the window and started eating this ladies lunch. I could not get over it !I would have never in million years taught there was bird really eating her food. Well we all laughed and made sure all of the windows were shut on that floor......

haha thats hillarious.

Someone I know had a funny story during a psych rotation. She was invited to go into the board room to discuss a patients case who had been admitted. The doctor began reading the patient notes and casually recited out the sentence "...says he wants to stick his **** in a fan blade." The room fell silent and this nursing student was literally biting he rlip trying not to laugh. This was her first day on the psych floor so she wasn't sure if this was just a normal day or what. Moments later they bring the patient in to dicuss the case, my friend still present at this point, and once again the doctor questioned him on his curiosity of wanting to put his manhood in a fan blade. The patient immediately started defending what he had said saying that every person in that room had wanted to stick their private parts in a fan blade but just wasn't admitting to it.

Oh my........I was helping with a conscious sedation on an 8-yr-old boy with a fx'd left arm. I stood on his right side and leaned over his body to stabilize the arm for the doc. The boy's hand was right underneath me, and while I was in a position of being unable to move he (sedated, remember!) turned his hand over and grabbed my nipple and started squeezing very hard! I started yelling "OW! GRAB HIS HAND, GET HIM OFF ME!" Of course everyone is staring at me because they can't see anything, like I'd lost my mind.

"HE'S GOT MY NIPPLE!!!!"

Everyone started laughing so hard that people from the nurses' station were coming in to find out what was going on!

Hectic shift, couldn't find one of our sweet residents who comes in every so often for respite care. Since she likes to wander back to the offices, I went in that direction. When I walked into the nursing office I found crouching in a corner next thing I new she handed me a really nice bag (designer named?) and it was a bit warm with a fresh BM in it. Funniest was trying to explain it to the social worker ( brand spanking new to LTC) why she shoudn't #1 bring expesive things like that to work and #2 lock her office door.

Today, we had a confused patient wandering in the hall, holding his Foley bag. We get him to sit down, and he frowns at the bag, and then throws it like a Frisbee. The nurse was on the phone with the family, and us three aides almost peed our pants laughing. He didn't try to do that again.

Had a little old lady who kept pulling out her Foley. So the doc ordered a Foley with a 30cc balloon . . . I entered the room to see her sitting on the edge of her bed, perfect posture, licking that 30cc balloon like a popsicle!

Then there was the little old man who pooped on his dinner tray, and then stuck a carrot, two olives and a celery stick into the poop to make a smiley face. We photographed that one for posterity, and it's probably still on the bulletion board on that unit!

Last night before leaving work, we had some bad weather kicking up. Everyone was doing their duties when the front door exit alarm sounded. One of the CNAs looked in the visual monitor and yelled, "someone fell!" So half a dozen people ran for the front door. I checked the alarm and the monitor before heading down there. At first glance it certainly looked like someone was sprawled out on the sidewalk in front of the entry way. Then one of the CNAs yelled, "It's just the garbage can!"
I'm glad to know my staff has such quick response time!
Just for the heck of it and a giggle, I'm going to fill out an incident report and turn it in to my DON. Should lighten the day!

I work in a long term care facility and at the end of my shift as I was going out the door, my administrator was on his way out also. I saw him holding the door for one of the paients and she walked right out! I screamed OMG! She is a patient, he was so embarrased we just laughed.
