Never mind, my patient already did.
Well, I got a nice human bite last night. Broke the skin and
everything. Allow me to set the scene for you:
It's 10:15pm on Sunday eve and I am at the end of my weekend double double(sat and sun 7a-11p--yes I do this every weekend

). I was feeling pretty good. I had a great weekend and I was ready to go home! I was done with all my work(had been desk nurse for 3-11) and I was asking around if anyone needed help. All the other nurses were done and they were charting. So, a CNA says to me, "Can you help me change Mrs. X". I said "Sure"

Mrs. X is a nice LOL who is confused and does not like to be changed. This is absolutely a 2 person job. So we start to get her cleaned up and she is doing her usual calling out and carrying on(she is not in pain, she just always yells when getting cleaned up) and out of the blue, she bites me.
Now, this was a very good bite. My arm has a gigantic bruise. She drew blood.
So, I had to go to the ER, I got home at 3:30am. I have to go to OCC Health today and I am on Augmentin.
I guess it's time to write a new care plan for Mrs. X.
I love my job.
