This thread is great! Some good ones that I have:

Two students while out smoking, state that the OB instructor was a b****, then turn around and see the OB instructor standing right there. Instructor proceeded to state "I'll remember both of you next semester when you're in my class" (fortunately neither one of these girls were me)

Clinical group all ready to go to lunch, just waiting on me find out my pt's blood sugar so I could give insulin, when I asked instructor if I could do the blood sugar, so I wouldn't have to stand around and wait on the PCT instrucor informed me that I have "not been specially trained in the way only RN's have been trained to do blood sugars" :uhoh3: Didn't know there was a "special" way.

No she did not give 60 units of regular insulin when it was suppose to be 6 units, even after her instructor told her to recheck. This happened to a classmate of mine.

OMG this scares the crap out of me. Did she kill the pt? How did they keep his/her BS up?

really curious since my son is a diabetic.

During first lab lecture, we were reminded by our instructor about our previous CNA class where we auscultated the IV site. Some students are still waiting for it to make a noise. We were also instructed on how to do the Rinne test for hearing. We were showed how to hit the tuning fork on the table and then stick the end of it in the pt ear. Luckily, we had a handout that actually showed that procedure. We've all come to the realization that our lab may be self-taught.

...and now that I know this little trick, NO medical professional will EVER get an accurate RR on me again unless I'm asleep or unconscious!

I also after taking pulse do this but will lay the patients arm across their stomach. It makes it easier to count the respirations.

Third semester, this is for my study buddy:

No she DID NOT just check that man's prosthetic leg for a pulse thinking it was the real deal!!! :eek:

I laugh, but I have done it! I was working as an LPN trying to finish RN school, working as a home health agency. The first day I went to one client's house and started my assessment. The nurse precepting me and I went to high school together and I was a little nervous.

He was sitting in a recliner watching tv. I felt for a pedal pulse in the left pulse and found it, no problem. I moved to the other leg and could not feel a pulse and the extremity was cold to the touch. The patient was smiling and didn't act concerned. I asked the patient about it, if he had feeling in the leg.

He and the pt both burst out laughing, and said that he had not had feeling in that leg since WW2, when it was amputated.

I was mortified!!

He didn't ask a bilateral amputee his height....and after thinking about his question asked what his height was BEFORE his amputation.

No she (a nursing student in at the time) did not compliment another nursing student by telling her "Oooohhhh, you're so smart you should have been a doctor!"

:madface:

(NOT that I have anything against doctors-it just seems pretty sad that there are still nursing students out there who feel that the career is somewhat below that of an MD!)

No she didn't just wear copious amounts of jewelry and defibrillate herself infront of the entire class!!!!

*Not me, when I was in school there was a *tester* defibrillator and even though it could not actually defibrillate you, it was still plugged into the outlet so we could play with it and still hand electricity running through it so she asks the teacher "How do you know when it is ready to shock you?" and the teacher and other students replied, " When the red lights atop the paddles are lighted." So she goes, "Oh ok.....ZAPP!!!!" lol
