sit playing with an empty saline flush syringe during a lab and shoot our clinical instructor, who was up front teaching, square between the eyes with the cap! :nono: :stone

Tell the clinical instructor to, not correct him in front of his patient! Can you guess what happened? KICKED OUT!

No she did not....come in late the first day of class, sit her bookbag on the lab table and when the teacher asked her nicely to move it say in a really loud voice "don't be rushing me i'll get around to it when im ready, i just got here for darns sake!"

yep my jaw hit the floor! the instructor is really nice though and let it slide...

No they did not chart pedal pulses +1 bilaterally on a right BKA for three shifts and that pupils were equally reactive when one eye was a prosthesis on CCU pts.

no she did not...(an instructor that subbed in for our regular instructor) tell the entire class (while teaching us to tie a vest restraint) that vest restraints are for "teaching your resident a lesson"...she was dead serious too!! A fellow student took her seriously and when doing her skill in front of the class said....ok mrs. smith, i'm going to tie you up now to teach you a lesson!" our regular instructor's mouth hit the floor when she said that! lol

...watch my clinical instructor pop the plunger out of a syringe to spray morphine from a carpuject into it to mix, then when it runs out she tries to put the plunger in and sprays the rest of it on the floor...all the while a staff nurse is watching in amazement and trying not to laugh.

For some reason this totally tickled my funnybone, not much makes me laugh these days thanks for posting this.

Oh no she didn't ask the instructor during fourth semester post conference with only 2 more days to go, the following question

"Now, what is it we are supposed to be getting out of morning report????"

It wasn't me, thank goodness.....

The instructor stared at her in disbelief and anger.

During clinical, cared for the wrong patient almost all night.

When the shift started, I walked into the room, and asked the pt if she was Mrs. X. She said yes she was. All night she answered to Mrs. X and didn't say anything. I suppose adding to the chart that she was confused would have helped.

**ALWAYS CHECK THE WRISTBANDS AT THE START OF YOUR SHIFT**

Thankfully, we caught this before I had done any significant charting and was able to correct the error. But this could have easily turned into a BIG mistake.

Don't make the same mistake,

No she did not....

say to the wife of a man 1 hr. post knee replacement after PT came in to get him up out of bed, (they had the wrong patient), "it's a good thing you were in here, they would have had him running laps in the hall!"

Yup, it was me. Wife did not appreciate my comment :stone

Tell the bald chemo patient: "ok let me just take your vital signs and then I will get out of your hair..." (yep that was me).

OMG!! I was just going to post this. I did the same thing last week. About wanted to die.

No she did not... check the patients rectum instead of cervix!! Yep... It happens... ugh!

I did this too....the nurse had told me that the patient's lady partsl muscles were very tight but I would still be able to feel the baby's head...I probed and probed, while the patient's eyes got bigger and bigger... :uhoh3:
