    Perform rectal dig stim with no gloves

    I can't stand maggots

    Give a full bath to your grandpa

    Then I can give him a good bath. I helped change my grandfather when he was in

    Have no caffeine your entire shift

    I don't drink coffee on a daily basis

    Walk around all shift with a stinky vomit stain on your chest

    It was a toss up between the two

    Work with a first-year resident who knows nothing

    At least you can hopefully teach them

    Have an incontinent patient who has to be changed hourly

    Can't stand when a pt is constantly on the call bell

    Have an unexpected 'stool hits the fan' emergency ten minutes into your shift

    I would rather deal with it, rather than stay late or pass it on to coworkers

    The first one is gross either way but if I had to choose one I'd do the stim...both involve no gloves and I don't do bugs!

    I'd give my grandpa a bath. He won't get any creepy ideas about it. He just doesn't want to smell.

    I'll skip the caffeine. Half the time I can't choke it down before starting my shift and after 12 hours I'm tired...14 would leave me brain dead.

    I'll take the vomit stain on my crotch, at least I won't have to get a strong whiff of it every time I breath for the rest of the day.

    I'd rather deal with a clueless resident. They aren't so bad as long as they aren't clueless AND arrogant. Many are open to suggestions and will order what we ask for as long as we explain why we want it for our patient.

    I'd rather change the incontinent patient every hour. The every 5 minute call bell patient will drive me bananas....and take longer to finish with than the every hour change.

    I'd rather deal with disaster control at the beginning of the shift...but sometimes I get stuck with it coming from both ends anyway so I'm just screwed.
