Re: Whats your best nursing ghost story?
My ghost stories are nowhere near as spooky as any of these-I started at the beginning, and have been reading for about an hour, but now have to go to bed. I called my dog from upstairs so he can walk back up the stairs with me in the dark
So I work in the oldest of the still populated wings in an older hospital. I used to work on the fourth floor, where one night I was helping a nurse straighten an elderly female patient in bed. This woman had been very lethargic, and hadn't spoken in days, but as we leaned over her, she looked past us into the upper left hand corner of the room and said very clearly "who is that?" The nurse and I both looked in that direction and saw nothing. We told her we didn't see anything, but she insisted that there was someone in that corner. She died the next day.
My other ghost story is probably just a case of me freaking myself out. I was sent up to the 6th floor - which had been the ICU for years, but at that time was deserted - to look for an IV pole. It was the middle of the night, I had only ever been up there during the daytime before. As I made the circuit of all of the empty, shadowy rooms I was just overcome with this feeling of dread. Needless to say, I hightailed it out of there - sans IV pole!

Re: Whats your best nursing ghost story?
.well I'm a rookie and new to this site (new CNA)..but...while doing my last week of clinicals at this LTC...their was a room and the staff called it the "Death Room" because 3 residents died in that room less than a few months apart so they never placed a new resident in that room again. The CNA that I was shadowing was goofy and fun to be with so I thought she was just kidding and I left it alone.They told me that the call light would come on or they would hear something fall an object in nobody would be in the room. So my instructor insisted that I practice on doing an unoccupied bed in the room..without any hesitation I said please can I do it elsewhere 
(it was another empty room right next to it)..so as I'm washing my hands (a sink was right next to the room) the light my a** broke camp and was outie!.....
I couldn't beleive I witnessed that!
