Stargazer · Apr 11, 2002

Keep us posted, Zhakrin--I want to hear about the the payback!

Is it just me, or does anyone else thing Zhakrin needs to change the "Senior Member" appellation in his profile to "Sensitive Bath Boy"?

LOL. OMG. That was a dirty trick! But, I have a feeling that you are well liked on your unit or they wouldn't have done this to you. It was a joke and you just happened to be the jokee. Try to take it in stride. It's things like this that you will remember forever and probably with a smile, later on. It was unprofessional for the most part, but was anyone really hurt? Or, was it something that left everyone feeling good and in a good mood? Can't wait to hear how you plan on topping this one! Your going to have to be pretty good to even come close to equalling that! LOL. I think if I was on your unit I would have found the whole situation halarious!

Actually I have already,

My assigned nurse asked me if I had given a client the prn ASA, and I said:

" yep, he couldn't take it PO so I crushed it up and tried to give it through his G-tube."

"Did it go through?"

"Nope I think its blocked, so I gave it in his IV"

"WHAT!!"

"oh don't worry I flushed it with tap water"

*Its funny how a nurse can turn so many interesting colors"

Lol, I did not let her stew to long and she started punching my arm!

I did not do any of those things but I have been told that words are mighter that the love rod!

Zhakrin,

Temporary Sensitive Bath Boy!

You poor thing! There are newbie "rites of passage" that you will have to go through, and this is one of them. One Saturday afternoon when I was fairly new to the ER up here, a mother brought in 3 toddlers, in their underwear. No biggie. Two were hers, one wasn't. She found them playing in the garage, dousing themselves with aluminum paint! They were covered-looked like the Tin Man in Oz. Poison Control said get that stuff off. Guess who was elected? Oh, yeah! But-one of the senior nurses felt bad for me and came in to help. It took hours-thank God it was a

--ow day. I still can't say the "s" word, doncha know!

One day when I was working 3-11 on telemetry, I came in to find that my team had just received a new patient-aslightly pudgy young man that worked 3-11 in our registration office. I got report, and went flying off to do assessments. It was one of those nights, if you know what I mean. :rolleyes: Anyway, when I finally got a chance, I looked at the H & P assessment admit form that the day nurse had done. It said, "bilateral elective mastectomies," and "hysterectomy." I am a pretty astute person, but this was 1984. I got my asst. head to look at it to see if she got the impression I did. She looked up at me after reading the chart, with eyes as big as sauchers, and said, "oh, my Go-!" Turns out it was a good thing that I let her in on what nobody had told me. Later that evening, "He" complained of being in a room with a male! Seems that the shemale was still female, from the waist down! :eek: :rolleyes: :roll

We all have our times, so just be prepared for ANYTHING! (especially when you go in to cath somebody-you never know what you will find, or where it is located!

Excellent return Zhakrin!! Love the little IV trick!!!

It's true they liked you or they wouldn't have toyed with you in this way!

Did you guys ever read the book "Fluff my pillow, Bend my Straw?" It is hysteriucal, written by a nurse when she was new. The other nurses and docs tricked her into doing "penile" pressures on a post-op urology pt of some kind. What a hoot to read!

Oh, lordy, I agree that is a funny "rite of passage". I certainly hope that the patient was in on it!:chuckle :zzzzz
