A pt's family came in on day shift and demanded to know the name of the person that had taken the time to care for the mom the last couple of days because she was soooooo happy about the care... Well the family was there when my shift came in this afternoon and the lady comes rolling up and kicks me in the leg and then hugs me and tells her family "This is my Pest that takes such good care of me" they all started laughing....
In also get called Irish girl, by all my Irish pt's
One patient told me 'You are SATAN WITH A NEEDLE!' after I gave him an injection of Haldol and Ativan (was a rough 20 minutes involving security and a 'protective hold')...after he woke up he said 'Okay, I take it back...'
I always have a flower on me - in my hair, or my clothing is flowered, or I wear a lapel pin of flowers, real or silk, but somehow, someway, I always have a flower on myself.
One day it's a rose, next a lilac, or a violet, or mums, or whatever but always a flower. They do good things for my BP and are, hopefully, equally pleasing to others.
I know some people are highly sensitive to them, so have mostly gotten into silk these days. They are still lovely and do not offend anyone's nose/sinuses.
One of my residents for some reason thinks that my name is Donna (it is now, it is Wendy) I have no idea how she got that idea. fortunately no one else named Donna works on our unit so it is ok! One grumpy man calls me Nurse Wratchet!!!
Wendy
LPN
Wendy thats funny, my name is Donna and one of the residents I deal with calls me "Wendy". She knows my name isn't Wendy but she said I remind her of wendy from Peter Pan
I had a Pt that was as sweet as pie all morning and just as I am about to go to lunch I check in to see how she is doing (mind you a fellow class mate is in the same room with a different Pt) and all of a sudden she starts screaming "hey BLONDIE, BLONDIE I wasnt shaking until you got here now fix my arms blondie" (fellow classmate comes out from behind the curtian laughing) she comes over to my pt bed to see if she can help and the pt says "hey fattso get off of me" I just died laughing right over the pt. Fattso tucks her in nice and tight and as we walk out of the room says "you are not shaking now are you!!" I still crack up every time I think about it.:rotfl:
