Hit in the groin during clinicals

Published

Hello everyone, I am happy to say that I am now a student nurse in a BSN program! I use to post on here worrying that I would not get in the program and now here I am in my second semester! Anyways, I had an embarrassing happening today, has any other male been accidentally hit in the groin by a patient during clincals? Just wondering because it happened to me today and it was kinda embarrassing because I'm the only male in my group lol Just was curious to get a discussion on embarrassing things that happen during clinicals.

it wasn't an accident, angry, altered, belligerent, patients love the crotch shots.

and to red kryptonite

ive definitely accidentally elbowed, slapped, bumped into more boobs than i ever thought possible, and it never stops being the most awkward thing for me.

Specializes in ICU.

Never been kicked in the groin, but I did have my scrub top ripped off once. It was a V-neck and the lady grabbed it right at the V and riiiiiiiiiiiiip. Dementia patients can be pretty strong.

Yup, it happens. Not frequently but often enough.
