Poor RTguy!

Thats funny... I have accidentally shot myself trying to flush NG tubes, corpaks, etc.

One time I was having a really really bad night... I got tripled in the ICU with 3 very busy patients and a LPN that had never worked in our unit before and she looked like she was about to kill me for giving her the confused post-op patient that needed constant supervision (she was the only stable patient I had).... well I walked into my one patients room and he was a complete mess so I went ahead and gave him a bath and changed out all his linens. Well, shortly after I got done with the bath he had meds due and when I went to push potassium (the orange sticky liquid kind) It slipped out and went all over my nice clean patient and sheets. I was so frustrated by that point that I was almost in tears. Now I look back on it I can laugh because I can only imagine what the other nurses were thinking when I was gone in his room for so long and I kept having to come out for more linens.

LOL- I have gotten showered while trying to flush tubes as well!!!!!

Done it, too..........soooo yucky!
