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!

HA!!
how about seeing who can catch the most cockroaches after they jump/scuury out of your homeless patients clothing and then dig out the eggs laid in the wounds.:sofahider now where are those pesky roaches hiding? :sofahider
In September I will have been working as a nurse for 40 years. We certainly never had gloves for patient care back then. As a student in CSR I had to wash the intact used surgeon's gloves, dry 'em, powder 'em and rewrap and sterilize them for reuse. I have had my hands in some of the scariest bodily fluids and never thought twice about it. However, the idea of lying in the tub of suction bottle contents really is a turn-off for me!
