another nurse i know mentioned one of her nurse friends in another facility had a rash on her face and , since it was the days of open med carts, grabbed what she thought was a tube of a and d ointment and proceeded to rub it on her face...trouble was this pint sized nurse had inadvertantly grabbed a tube of nitropaste and while talking to her friends at the desk, obviously didn't notice and was immediately passed out in front of all of them...she was fine, but i can imagine there are more such nurse stories out there...care to share????
