Jan 6 by missdirection928Quote from blondiestime2I absolutely died, I was laughing so hard I couldn't relay the story to my husband. Of course, when I finally did, he didn't get it. lmao!It was my very first clinical rotation, 2nd semester in nursing school at a nursing home. I was trying to assist a gentleman (named Roger) out of bed. The problem was, everytime I would lift him off of his bed a firm voice would shout very loudly "Get back in bed Roger!!!!!!" I was dumbfounded, the patient couldnt speak and tell me what it was, so I called in the instructor to help. We all were rolling on the floor everytime we tried to lift and this voice would yell at us to get Roger back in bed. Come to find out of course, it was one of those "speaking" bed alarms!!!! I had never even heard of such a thing, I thought I would die laughing everytime I tried to lift and was firmly told by the machine to get Roger back in bed!sapphire18 and VivaLasViejas like this. -
Jan 8 by NurseRiesI am sitting in a patient's room and had just started his hemodialysis treatment. I was sitting down across the room recording my documentation. The patient was blind and was one of those patients that just randomly yells stuff. "WATERRRR!", he would scream bloody murder constantly and it startled me every time. All of a sudden he hocks up and I hear him spit a loogie. I am looking everywhere around the room, can't find the culprit, so I kindly remind the patient that there's no need to yell or spit, I am sitting right here. I go back to documenting, and there's the loogie!! All over my hand, pen, and paperwork!! I was so grossed out!! I spent the next 3 hours of treatment training him to ask for help before he spits across the room. (After investigation, there were loogies everywhere,)
