Okay so I love watching fear factor and was taking to a fellow nurse friend of mine and we wanted to know how many of you could get through these "nursing stunts":
1) 100 patients, 10 meds apiece, 1hour to complete... no errors
2) Eating the hospital food, with NO condiments (gasp!)
3) Licking the hospital floor... (yummy right) and yes you can disinfect your mouth after.
4) Working a 24hour shift in the ICU and ER... NO SLEEP
5) Transfering a 250 pound patient from bed to chair 10 times, no help
Me personally, I guess I'd try it but I would not be the fear factor champ!
Remove the little electrodes for a 12-lead that have been on a 450lbs unwashed patient for an hour (and are now extra gooey and hidden under folds) with only your teeth - fastest wins! HA! :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:
Cathing the 400 lb. lady who doesn't bathe-done it!
Doing VE on 300 lb 16 year old-Done it
Performing Ve's where there is a lot of "crusty" stuff, so that you almost hear a "crunch" sound w/o benefit of a clothespin to your nose..
Cauliflower like clusters of condyloma to wade through to search for a place to do VE on pt. who states "it's time to push."
Meconium covered raisins.
Trying to perform VE and straight cath on psych pt. wearing home detention bracelet who weighs 350+ and gets nervous and closes legs every time you approach the area of the perineum. (almost lost my head -literally w/ that one)
An Isomil or better yet Nutramigen milk shake drinking contest!
With the exception of the shakes or mec raisins. I have done it all, so what's my prize. (I am afraid to know!)
Except on either side of you there are beds side-by-side filled with demeted/dilirious patients that either have c.diff or a GI bleed, or hey even more fun, both! And they like to fling their crap at you as you run by.
The one that gets the least amount of crap on them...or maybe whoever get through the line of flying crap..wins!! :rotfl:
Specializes in Case Mgmt; Mat/Child, Critical Care.
Vag exam on 38 week 300+ lb unwashed 16 year old who *might* be in labor.
OK, been there, done that and lots of other ultra gross OB related *things*! Yeah, yeah, cathing the 400-lb "crusty" female, not bathed forever, yechhhh, etc, etc.
How about getting splashed w/"pea-soup" thick meconium amniotic fluid, mixed w/blood, having it go all over you..... your mouth/face, and you can't leave immediately cause you're delivering a baby.... :barf01:
