Funny/Strange things other hospital employees have done????

I work in a critical care area at a major hospital and had only been working as a nurse for 4 months, anyway, the patient spiked a temp and they wanted me to culture him but he was going to be withdrawn from life support the next day. He was FULL of fluid and finding a vein to culture him with my inexperience was going to be a nightmare so I asked the charge nurse if it was really necessary, well she obviously thought not and walked right up to the MD and said "so if you find anything what are you gonna do, sprinkle antibiotics on his grave? This is f'ing stupid!" I almost lost it! I hope I have cahones like that one day lol

There was a very lazy housekeeper working on our unit one day and one of our PCAs asked her to do something. The housekeeper proceeded to get very angry and in front of other people threatened to kill the PCA and screamed at her. The housekeeping supervisor had to come up and get involved. The best part- the housekeeper never got in trouble for it!!

When I still worked as an ICU charge nurse, we had a resident who was well known for "making his rounds" through all of the nursing units. (Still not sure how he remained so popular since all of the women he bedded knew his reputation, and per one of his conquests his endowment and abilities were... as she put it..definitely nothing memorable). He's on Night call and finishes rounds then says.. I don't want to be disturbed unless it's important. One of my fellow nurses sees him go into the Resident on-call room followed by one of his "groupies" who was off duty. Since we knew what was about to transpire, we gave them about 10 minutes to get comfy and paged him to the room used by our research fellow since the phone extension wasn't published, he wouldn't know the call came from the ICU. We page him and one of my cohorts gets a great voice and says that he is the morgue attendant and that he's got a body down there that nobody has pronounced and he needs to get his **** *ss down there now and sign off this corpse. 2 minutes later.. he comes out of the call room and starts off to the morgue which was on the opposite side of the hospital in the sub-basement.. he comes back about 30 minutes later looknig really agitated.... we give him another 10 minutes to get comfy again and repeat the same thing .. he says he was there so my partner in crime sarcastically says something to the effect of " Oh ya.. I'm gonna hear those pathetic little paws you got tapping on the door when I am in the back room with a bone saw running.. then spends another 2 minutes berating him and asks if he should just call the senior resident at home to come in and sign the death certificate since he's too lazy to. Again.. the trip is repeated.... and again.. 30 minutes later he comes back up.. lookin REALLY ticked... about this time we actually needed him for a septic patient that was going south on us... so, WE kept him in the unit about 2 hours....
His "date" came in and said she was going home... (she was a CCU nurse) ... it was so hard not to laugh ... but, at least we destroyed his plans for the night.
Side note? He ended up fathering 2 children out of his daliances... demanded paternity tests on both.. and is now paying child support for both... THERE IS JUSTICE in this world... albeit delayed...

did the pca ask her to do something that was outside her job range or something?

It wouldn't matter. That was inappropriate behavior -- even if the PCA had asked her to commit impossible sexual acts upon herself, the housekeeper could have maintained her dignity, refused politely and then reported the PCA.

I worked in the ED of a large inner city hospital in Houston. The county morgue was in the basement under the ED. The place was way too small for all the bodies they had in there, so sometimes they were just stacked up. It was especially bad during the summer when they would find "floaters" and the smell that came up from there was horrible. In any case, a funeral company came one night to pick up a body and could not get the elevator door to the morgue to open. I called the maint. man and he went to have a look. He came back up and told me he could not find anything wrong. So finally I went down there myself and there was an arm caught in the elevator door so it would not close. I had to pull the arm out of the door to get the elevator to work again.
