Being a nursing student

The needle actually bounced off of the pt and thank god he was a very nice man. He laughed at the whole thing. During second year I had ended up with the same guy and when I had to give him a shot, he started cracking up, told me the story (I already knew about, had a big lecture about not throwing needles at pts) He still said it was his best day ever in the hospital. lol

Oh, this cracks me up. I've been reading funny stories for days. Nothing too hilarious has happened to me, but I'll tell you that some of the funniest people you will ever care for are the elderly.

When I was in the local LTC facility during my first ever clinical, (we were there for four weeks, then the hospital for four weeks). We had this lady, sweet as pie, who we called "the wanderer" because she liked to get out of her room and walk around the halls. I never heard her say a word, but I was always the one who took her back to her room.

I would link my arm through hers and try to engage her in conversation while walking her down the hall. She got into this weird habit, where anytime she'd see me, she'd push my glasses up on my nose and give me a big smile.

It cracked up anyone who saw it, 'specially that she did it all the time with me, and never said a word!
