Have you ever...

[alcrab01]

Have you ever blamed a fart on an unconscious patient? I have!

[peridotgirl]

lmao!! nope, i have never done that. plus, i haven't had clinical experience with an unconsious pt before. besides, can u imagine saying to another person " he farted" and he/she knows that that pt is unconsious... i would assume you'd get some rather weird looks. hehehe! :chuckle:chuckle:chuckle:heartbeat:d

[becembrie]

OMG you totally hit my funny bone. I can't stop laughing.:chuckle I guess I'm one of those demented people. Anytime I hear about farts I crack up.

Hope your patient doesn't call you on it later.

I always blame it on the oscillator vent, or the "dirty diaper" I just threw in the trash....hey, when you can't get a moment's privacy, what are you supposed to do?

funny thing here guys, first of all i havent yet started my nursing classes, i am almost done with the pre reqs thoug, well

i was in a conversation with a nurse, and was asking how hard is it to Iv the first few times, and the RETARD here asked

And what about a folley which vein is the best one for that? (i though a folley was a type of IV, butterfly or something like that) she kinda got white, then she gave me the Huh! look, and laugh, and then explained that it actualy does not go on the veins DUUUUUUUUUHHHH

i felt so stupid! and she still jokes with me about that all the time

Haha, Csantos, that's hilarious!

I'll never forget this conversation in nursing school:

Me: What's heparin four?

Instructor: It's a blood thinner.

Me: No, what's heparin FOUR?

Instructor: That's heparin IV, as in intravenous.

Me: (kicking my own a**)

Haha, I would blame it on ICU psychosis. "No, I never farted in here! You must have been hallucinating. Can I offer you some ativan?"

Gotta love those epidurals where laboring moms will fart and not realize it was them!

I can't believe this came up! When I was a CNA in a nursing home, I had a favorite patient of mine with end-stage Parkinson's disease. She could not move anything and I had to feed her with a syringe. (back when that was allowed). One evening, as I was getting her ready for bed, I slipped one out and said "Mildred, how rude"... This sweet lady couldn't move but she started laughing so hard her body shook. When I checked on her later that night, she still had a smile on her face.
