Strangest Visitor events

Crux1024 · Jul 23, 2007

We used to get this woman all the time when she pregnant - 8 glorious times when I was there. Anyway.. one night the husband (who looked like the banjo player from the movie Deliverance) came out to the nurses station, plopped down in a chair, unzipped his pants and started masturbating!

WOW!! Ill pass on that one....:trout:

Not something I ever want to see...

I am still a student but I did see one thing I couldn't believe while doing a clinical placement. We had a pt that was in isolation and we needed a stool sample so I had put a "hat" in the toilet and explained to him what it was for and to ring for me when his bowels had moved. His wife was in visiting him and I checked with him a couple of times over the next hour or so but he hadn't gone yet. Later I was at the nurses station doing some charting on the computer and his wife walked up to me - carrying the hat, which contained a large smelly bm, - and said "where do you want this?" I managed to direct her back the room with it. I was so freaked out I couldn't react at first.

I've seen a few visitors faint. "done fell out" as it is known in North Carolina.

I wasn't actually there for this one, but it was talked about for a long time. A patient's boyfriend was visiting his girlfriend in ICU. She had been shot, was a paraplegic on a ventilator and was sedated. The boyfriend started getting restless, then more restless, then quite agitated before he started shouting out that he shot her. It was like something out of Poe's The Tell Tale Heart.

I've had to code visitors (saddest case being a mom who'd lost her teenage son to leukemia); had a female patient who shot her hubby as he walked through the door carrying a big bouquet of flowers (she had the gun under her pillow); another patient was shot by her husband when he came to visit (that made national news); another husband came to our floor in the middle of the night to blow his wife away (he spooked and ran, they caught him in the parking lot with two guns on him).

And I worked at a "nice" hospital :lol2:

Gypsys are such a cool and interesting culture

Maybe but when we get the Irish Travlers or Gypsys in our hospital, we will remove everything out of their sight, or they take what isn't nailed down:uhoh21:

haha, my visitor story has more to do with the student nurse. When I was in clinicals we had a student who didn't always dress appropriately. We had a school shirt and we wore white pants with it. Well, she had "trendy scrubs" that were hip huggers. However...our shirts weren't all that long.

So...she bent over to suction a trach.......and all the patients visitors got a great view of her skimpy thongs!!

yep, we have had gypsies before and what they did at this facility was to 1. lock all the drawers on the unit, 2. assign a security guard to watch that family and that family only.

This group of gypsies STILL managed to set off the fire alarm by setting up a grill in the lobby and making dinner!!

OMG this is way too funny!!!

Reminds me one time when I was at a very pricey hotel years ago and went to use the lobby restroom. Walked in there a poor homeless woman was in there at the sink cooking dinner in an electric skillet!! I did not have the heart to alert the the hotel staff- I just let her keep cooking her hamburger!!

Wow, that was nice of you kukukajoo!!! I am not sure I could have been so generous!!

Nursing definitely allows you to meet people from ALL social levels!!

Walked into a room to get vitals. Pt (male) was sitting up in bed looking quite happy. A female was sitting next to him with her hands under the sheets doing you know what to him. Oddly, there was another woman there sitting next to pt. I slap the bp cuff on him and pretend not to know what's going on. I need these vitals 'cause the dr asked for a fresh set. Suddenly this other woman starts kissing the pt. The pt has his orgasm (in front of me) and I just couldn't move. They must have understood my look of horror. The pt says "this is my wife and this is my gf. We all live together. Let me tell you, threesome's are the bomb!" As I was leaving the dr was going in. I informed her what her CP pt was doing and she wasn't happy. He went home that night.

Heres a fummy one...

I worked as a nursing assistant through my first year of nursing school on an ortho/neuro unit. Our unit had unlimited visiting hours, and family could spend the night if they chose (we had settees for them, etc.) . This patients husband would spend the night every night with her. Her hubby treated the hospital just like home (I assume). At night we would go in and he would be sitting or lying on the settee in his boxers...nothing else. Unfortunately we saw WAY more of this man than any of us wanted to see! We had to have our unit mgr talk to him about wearing something more than his undies while he was in the room. I don't get how he thought it was ok to dress like he was at home...or that his wife thought this was ok. Wierd!
