NO SHE DID NOT WALK INTO CLASS WITH a RED THONG CLEARLY SHOWING UNDER HER UNIFORM!:smackingf

She, the staff nurse, was changing the dressing on a wound vac, demo-ing for 5 class members & instructor when her gloves stuck to the adhesive clear bandage...she then proceeded to peel the gloves off with her teeth & finish the dressing on the recently amputated foot with her bare hands.

:o

Ewww...What did the instructor say?

Actually, the instructor kept her mouth shut.

The nurse kept saying, "Now, this is not the way to do this, but the pt. is in pain, so, I'm hurrying it along".

Instead, our instructor reported it to the Director of Nursing before we left the bldg. & told all of us NEVER, EVER remove or change a dressing without following strict standard precautions.

No she did not tell a patient she'd be back shortly to "tie him up" (meaning tie his theatre gown!)

ummm....with engorgement, this is an extremely effective method of reducing swelling and excess milk very quickly. SO effective, nursing mothers need to be warned not to do it to often or for too long because it absolutely can reduce milk supply. I don't know why you'd want to 'dry up' so fast if you've weaned well, but then again, it would work fine.

Sometimes it may sound crazy, but don't knock it if you're not sure it isn't true! :)

ok, i'll elaborate....she stopped the lecture to tell everyone this information...when we weren't even on the subject of breastfeeding! :uhoh21:

...flick pee all over her arm after d/c'ing a foley...

OMG that killed me! ... flick pee :chuckle One night after emptying a foley while walking to the BR with "hat" in hand. I bumped the bathroom door into the hat while opening it and the pee jumped right out of that hat onto my .. lip. GRRROSS! Later that night ... did the exact same thing again in the same pt's room, except spilt it on my shirt this time.

The pt was a girl I went to nursing school with. She found it incredibly amusing .. I did not. Oh well, I guess atleast it wasn't "stranger pee". :rolleyes:

ROFL! Ok, ok, she's a nutjob (with accurate information, lol). Everyone's got a wingnut, but I think we weeded our most obvious ones out by the end of the first semester! :rotfl:

No he did not as a third year med student ask the PCA what normal blood pressure was and when the PCA replied "Do you mean for this patient?" "He replied "No, in general"

I was the PCA, I told the charge nurse, who then told his instructor. I could not believe he was serious, he got mad when I tried to keep from laughing.

No he did not just walk into the burn patients room during dressing changes, listen for bowel sounds on an open patient with his personal stethoscope, and then walk into another patients room (without washing anything) where there was another dressing change going on and do the same thing!

P.S. This was a resident for plastic surgery and the Burn Attending made him watch the video on handwashing. He was absolutely mortified!
