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!
Gather all the suction cannisters in the hospital. Empty them all into a tub. Then lie in it. He/she who stays in the longest gets the most points.
Tweety's wins hands down ... :chuckle
But just for kicks - correctly name all the food groups ingested in the emesis of your 19-yr. old pt, who went to the all-night buffet at some point while working her way up to a blood ETOH of .345. You have 30 seconds, then you may produce your own emesis.
1) Take all the needles out of the sharps container on your floor and poke yourself with them... you can go down to health services for testing when you're done!
Specializes in NICU, PICU, PCVICU and peds oncology.
I'm sticking with PICU... our gross stuff isn't even close to Fear Factor quality, thank God!! And I thought I'd maybe switch to OB when I get closer to retirement age... not a freakin' CHANCE!!!!!!!!!! :barf01: :sofahider
OH GEEZE NEVER THROW UP WE ARE NURSES RIGHT.................CANT TELL YA HOW MANY TIMES I HAVE GAGGED.............I BELIEVE THE WORD IS EMESIS AND GO FOR IT I NEVER COULD THIS IS A GREAT ONE CHANGE A DECUB WITH STRONG ODOR OR ANY DRESSING FOR THAT MATTER AND STAY CALM ESP WHEN THEY TOLD YOU IT WAS SMALL................:rotfl:
LoL GROSS!
Okay, I could do that, but am I allowed to throw-up! Poop AND whiffing colostomy bags?
Although I would never make it on the show, these posts are great. One I thought of that almost made me puke myself is "stand in front of a trach patient who is coughing huge amounts of flying phlegm.....with your mouth open." Can't even type anymore than that...Grossing myself out. :imbar

That is just SO nasty. So who ever catches the most phlegm wins? GROSS! lol :rotfl:
How about draining butt pus that could peel the paint off the walls (I actually looked to see if this was occurring)from a 500 lb. man, unwashed, with yeast under the fat folds , is given a spinal so have to keep gagging & puking quiet!
