No she did not.... take the "dart method" of giving an injection literally, and throw a needle at her patient!
(Incidentally, this student was asked to leave the nursing program :chuckle )

Hi! i've got to tell you how funny what you wrote a couple of months ago was about the ex-student who threw a needle at the poor patient cuz she thought that's what throwing it like a dart meant! Oh my gosh! I laughed so hard!!! :)

No she did not ... tell the patients sister that the room were kept warm, because if you dont cook these old people just right, they get a little gamey...

No she did not ....proceed to tell the same patients brother that very same statement a whole month later...

No she did not ... do this in front of the paitent both times!

No, she did not empty the bedpan in the toilet, went to the sink to put water in it to rinse it, and then emptied the yucky water IN THE SINK! When she told me that, I nearly wet my pants!:chuckle :chuckle :chuckle

She, the staff nurse, was changing the dressing on a wound vac, demo-ing for 5 class members & instructor when her gloves stuck to the adhesive clear bandage...she then proceeded to peel the gloves off with her teeth & finish the dressing on the recently amputated foot with her bare hands.

No the nursing instructor did not just walk into a patient's room to find the student trying to pour a carton of milk into the chest tube after being told by the nurse to go "milk the tubing..." :rotfl:

...............no---- she did NOT stuff (very visible and obvious) wads of kleenex up her nose before walking into the room of a patient with a GI Bleed!!!!

...yes she did, and she was not a classmate for long, thank goodness.

no she did not....

while taking a weak, discharged patient down to the taxi.... the patient had to use the washroom....quickly...

since he could not ambulate well at all on his own, the nurse took him immediatley to the lobby washroom, which was the closest...

so, the female nurse pushes the patient into the mens washroom.... the patient did no have enough strenght to stand up on his own, so she pushed the wheel chair into the stall...the patient is saying 'i have to goo i have to goo'

she could not figure out how to get this patient on the toilet from the wheel chair in such a small stall, and was worried that hed have an accident, and that the taxi will be charging an arm and a leg for this insurance-less patient

then, she realizes, right next to this stall was a handicapp stall that fits, oh my, a wheelchair!

that was me on my first shift as a nurse extern.... he did not have an accident... and he was a very kind man

...tell her entire A&P class that to "dry up" after breastfeeding, we should all put cabbage leaves into our bras...

ummm....with engorgement, this is an extremely effective method of reducing swelling and excess milk very quickly. SO effective, nursing mothers need to be warned not to do it to often or for too long because it absolutely can reduce milk supply. I don't know why you'd want to 'dry up' so fast if you've weaned well, but then again, it would work fine.

Sometimes it may sound crazy, but don't knock it if you're not sure it isn't true! :)

I don't know why, but that made me laugh out loud!

Where the heck did she try to put it? That is very funny.
