Updated:   Published

Just wondering how many out there have ever been a nurse to someone famous / celebrity, etc. ? That's interesting!!

Nobody big time famous, just some local celebrities. But watching the news isn't the same once you've seen what those ladies look like under that desk :eek:

Only been in nsg a few yrs and so far not famous people although I did have a local county commissioner as a pt for about 2 weeks at the rehab center I work for. She tried to turn me and a CNAin because when we took her leg off a CPM she say we pull her knee replacement out of place...made the place do an x-ray and everything. Turned out it was fine the only way I found out about it is because they questioned the CNAabout it no one ever came and questioned me tho. anyways she is up for re election this yr...LOL paybacks are hell!

Took care of a GEORGE BUSH once; sorry, but wasn't one of the presidential duo. Just an unknown and unrelated elderly gent who happened to share that famous name.

Yep, I have; a few politicians and celebs.

Still don't feel quite right about mentioning names though, even though some of these folks are long-gone....

I've cared for celebs, famous ppl, and some who just THOUGHT they were famous or important. Everyone looks the same in hospital gowns, though. LOL

Actors, boxers, musicians, a Rock & Roll star from the 60s, politicians and their families, local TV celebrities. Yes they all look the same in a hospital gown. Most were just "regular acting" people. One karate guy was a little annoying. No names EVER.

I worked at Methodist Hospital In Indy, so I have taken care of a lot of famous race drivers who were injured. NO NAMES out of respect for their privacy. For the most part they were exceptionally nice guys. The problem came in when all their buddies visited and smuggled in beer for them. This was in the 70s and the head nurse was a strict disiplinarian, so it took some creative thinking to keep the beer hidden.

Well, I don't feel like I've violated any "Breack of confidentiality", MsPurp, and I'm certainly not going to scream. These were pts that I've been photographed with in the newspapers, TV and mentioned in their books. (and I don't mean the tabloids) But, I do agree that if it's not started by them, it's a no-no.
