Re: Nursing School Bloopers
This wasnt in nursing school, i had a few in nursing school but in CNA school....was my BEST!!!
so my first bath i am going to give, not a bag bath...a bath bath is a lady with Colon cancer. it was me and nother student doing this together. They warned us not to let her go to the bathroom (number 2!) before her bath. she received a shower, not a bath. their shower was set up so she would sit in a chair with a hole in the bottom, just incase....and i would be on the outside assisting her...there was a wall type thing i could stand behind so we wouldnt get wet.
Well...were givin this lady her shower and all goes well, then all of a sudden she poops EVERYWHERE!!! it was like water poop. not only that..the drain is clogged, and its going everywhere. its going out the door into the hallway, my white pants are soaking it up (Yes, the poop too) im yelling at my fellow student to turn the water off, YES!! she actually continued to let the shower run. Meanwhile im standing on the toliet to avoid my white pants from soaking up sewage backflow from the clogged drain and watery poop. im throwing towels on the floor infront of the door to prevent it from going outside. were yelling for help and a CNA puts her arm in the door and gives us...
a freaking toliet plunger!!! No towels...nothing, except a toliet plunger. im like "what im a supposed to do with this?"
she replies....
"they must not plunged it yet we had issues with it this morning"
so we had to plunge the shower drain with this poor old confused lady sitting naked on the chair, we had no towels left over... eventually it came unplugged.
never will i forget that. the other girl was balling!!! literally...i just kinda laughed. oh well
