If Nursing Were an Olympic Sport...

[JustEnuff2BDangerous, BSN, RN]

What, in your opinion, would the scoring be based on?

Some of my ideas:

- Starting the hardest IV

- Making the most beds in a given amount of time

- Transcribing orders with the worst handwriting correctly

Dealing with the most call bells going off at once.

Listening to the loudest physician temper tantrum.

Eating the largest amount of food on a 5 minute break.

Holding your bladder the longest.

I can't think of anything else right now!

How many needy or rude patients you can take care of and still grit your teeth and smile...

Or how many bowel prep patients you can take care of...lol

Pain Med Sprint: fastest time from room to med cart/machine back to room. Includes drawing and diluting the med, charting the waste and admin.

What about the fastest clean up of a code brown??

Quickest bed bath and complete linen change..

Or untangling all the lines and cables on an ICU pt that is on everything?

lol cant wait to see what others come up with! Ivanna

The farthest a nurse can walk down a hallway to the furthest patient room without a family member interrupting, someone telling them to do something else or her phone going off.

LOL...I was just thininking that diapering my baby could be a sport. I imagine this can be stretcthed into taking care of the confused incontinant elderly. If you get out of it without a punch to the ribs and without them sliding down to the food of the bed...you get Gold!!!
