A Big Blue Bear Gave Me A Shot!

[Davey Do]

The students in the LPN program of 1983 at Weed Rover Township Hospital (WRTH) were requested to take part in the Hospital Week Festivities. Plans were being made to put on a Smurf play for the area's elementary school children, and I volunteered to play the part of Gargamel.

The following year, as an LPN working in psych at WRTH, I was again asked to be involved in the Hospital Week play for the children. This was to be a Care Bear play and I was assigned the part of Grumpy Bear, the blue Care Bear.

During the dress rehearsal, in full gala, a behavioral code was called to which I responded. For reasons now that I do not recall, I gave a psychotic, acting out patient a forced medication injection.

Psychosis is an abnormal condition of the mind that results in difficulties determining what is real and what is not real.

 

 

Have any bizarre nursing stories?

Many years ago, I worked as a PCA in the PACU of my local hospital. One the patients told me that she had a dream that Elvis was in the OR and helped them transport her from the OR to PACU. She thought she was hallucinating. I told her that Elvis did help transport her to the PACU. One of the other PCAs in the OR is a big Elvis fan and dyes his hair black and has the Elvis hairstyle and sideburns.

This  line reminded me of a story, NICU Guy:

I was coming around from a comatose state after an MVA and was in ICU for about three weeks. I believed at night the Docs became Bartenders and the Nurses became Waitresses.
