  1. Most Embarassing Nursing Moments

    Don't worry sweetie, it happens to all of us. You will NEVER know everything, and most nurses will be happy to help you out until you understand the lingo of your current specialty. I've found the best policy is to honestly say Ï've never heard tha...
  2. You Know You're a Nurse When...

    The difference between graduate nurses & experienced nurses. I saw this on a site recently, and almost pee'd myself laughing. No, I'm not trying to get at new nurses, after all, I WAS one not so long ago. Grad Nurse: Vomits when the patient v...
  3. Stupid Nurse Trick... Don't try this at home... or work!

    As a new & very nervous grad nurse, I was assisting with putting in a thoracic tube on the ward. I was responsible for holding the local, which came in glass ampoules. I dropped one, and it shattered on the floor. I sheepishly cleaned up. I c...
  4. Stupid Nurse Trick... Don't try this at home... or work!

    One of my early codes, and I'd never pushed the Crash Cart before. Anyway, I was closest when the code went out, and adrenaline spurted. I grabbed that cart from the treatment room and barelled out. Bloody thing wouldn't move that well, so I pushe...
  5. Charting Bloopers

  6. Charting Bloopers

    Good charting! Short, succinct, and relays the information needed.
  7. Working several years ago in a rehab ward, we had one guy with a BKA due to poor circulation. The other foot wasn't faring so well, either. He'd ignored the warning signs of cool & dusky toes, and even the loss of sensation and then loss of mov...

    Thank the Lord in Heaven, this is a situation I have not experienced!! How embarassing!! How did you cope with nursing him for the rest of the shift??
  9. Terms we will not admit to using

    We used to talk about a 'horrendoplasty'. This was an abdominal procedure that went horrendously wrong, with almost every complication you could name happening.
  10. Funny dreams about your job as a nurse

    :selfbonk:One of my recurring nursing dreams is SOOOO embarassing, that I have trouble at work because I keep remembering it !! I dream that I didn't put my uniform top on, and went to work with pants, shoes, hair all done, but my breasts bare and s...
  11. You Know You're a Nurse When...

    I do both of these regularly!!!:chuckle Once, when filling out an entry form for a dog trial, I filled in Ruth Harvey, RN1. Hmmm........
  12. Share Your Funniest Patient Stories...

    I have to agree. When I started nursing, it was routine to posey people to anything. I remember one old man had TWO poseys on, one frontways and one backwards, because he was so good at getting out of them. I accepted this as a part of nursing, and d...
  13. Things Patients Have Taught Me NOT To Do

    What is even more disturbing, is that we can ALL visualise this without trying too hard! So, who's in the worse state? The one person who did it, or the millions of us who can SEE IN OUR MIND'S EYE how he did it????
  14. Things Patients Have Taught Me NOT To Do

    Don't ignore the large label on the jug in the ward fridge that says "CAUTION: BOWEL PREP" and give your toddler a large drink while visiting Grandpa. The results will be nasty, and you will be awake a lot that night!:smackingf
