Re: Things nursing school FAILED to tell us
That a hospital hallway is the best place to fart.
That diarrhea is hereditary, it runs in your genes.
That if you find a man on the hospital floor and he is not unconscious,and you shock him, he will cuss.....a lot.
That it is fun to ask new grads about normal lab values, and then ask them what the normal alcohol level is.
That if you are trying to put a foley in a woman, and miss, leave it in place, then get new cath and try again, you can then tell where you do not want to put it.
If you are putting a foley in an 80 year old maid, try not to miss.
Never laugh or snicker when you are putting a catheter in a man And never ever say out loud "would you look at the size of this thing"
Treat your pct's with respect and help em out, they could save your butt.
Never put an ng tube in, allow it to come out the mouth, and then allow pt to grab both ends and pull.
