My pleasently confused little old man pulled his peg-tube completely out this morning! The CNA, who I thought was familiar with the resident, was apparently not familiar with the resident's abdominal binder!!!
CNA: "Uh, Mr. So-and-so, just pulled out his tube..."
Me: "What?"
Nurse 2: "Probably just pulled the feeding out of the port."
Me: "Ima go see."
Me as I look at Mr. So-and-so: "Aww S**t"
When somthing like that happens within the first 30 min of your 12 hour shift, most people might think that it can't get any worse. Well it can :) and it usually will. What is the weirdest thing that has happened in the first few hours (or Mins) of starting your shift at your NH? I know the above is not a strange occurance but It set my tone for the rest of the day and it happened right after report so I hadnt even started to do anything!!
