Specializes in Geriatrics.

I was training an Rn at work the other day, who during med pass had to give 1 tsp liquid dilantin. I expected her to get out a syringe to measure with, the way I was always taught was proper, but she just plopped down a med cup. It got worse when she said " I don't know how you're supposed to get 6 cc's, I guess I'll just put it a little over 5 and under 7. Funny thing is, there is a 1 tsp measure on the cup, and I thought ALL nurses knew that 1 tsp= 5cc

Not quite a "nurse" story....

Nutritionist tells mother of 14 mo old underweight pt, "Feed her peanut butter and banana sandwiches. That will help her gain weight."

Mother (me) looks at her like she has 2 heads and asks, "Did you even meet my daughter?" Daughter with CSS may have been 14 mo old but she only had 4 teeth....her 14 month molars! Makes it a little tough to eat that sandwich!

*****

OB tells pt, "OK, you are 7 cm, I am going to take a coffee break." Pt tells OB, "Don't go anywhere, I am not going to be that long!" OB looks at pt like she is an idiot and proceeds to leave. 10 min later, OB comes into the room. Another OB just delivered baby in labor room (before birthing centers) and says, "You stole my delivery!"

*****

Pt having delivered baby, now waiting on the afterbirth, lifts head and says, "Oh look! Pubic hair!" To which the OB replies, "What did you miss it?!" (yep, I was that patient! LOL)

*****

Infant pt in NICU. RN and mom by incubator. MD drops in to check on infant, pulls down diaper and says, "Wow! Is Dad that well endowed!" :chuckle

RN, an old mammy type, flip out! LOL I thought it was totally funny!

Oh no he didn't....

While providing care for a PICU patient with gigantism, the repiratory therapist continuously comments about how big the child is and that he needs to be on a diet.

I wanted to literally bang the RT's head against the wall. :banghead: Even if the child didn't have gigantism, he was out of place!

Specializes in LTC.

No she did not...blurt out to the (male) doctor when watching an infant circumcision, "That's the first uncircumcized male I've ever seen!"

Yes, that was me. I felt like such an idiot. I'm sure that was far more information about my personal life than the doctor ever wanted to know.

- sadly enough my boyfriend is uncircumsized

Specializes in ob/gyn med /surg.
Actually, when I worked med-surg, alot of the PCT's would give baths with mouth wash in addition to soap, including myself. We believed that the mouth wash helped to better cover the odor of C-diff.

mouthwash conatins alcohol and is very drying to the pt's buttocks... we had CNA's using it to and the DON found and wrote up the CNAs...

No she did not disappear off the floor for over two hours when two of her patients (in the same room) were in serious respiratory distress! It was a nursing student who found them in critical condition, and it was the respiratory therapist (who just happened to be scheduled to pop in the room at that time) who provided high flow oxygen and suction. The actual RN was nowhere to be found.

It was. He was a transfer pt, so fortunately this didn't happen at our hospital. He actually said we were much better than the "other" hospital.

So word to the wise - no mocking the pts within earshot, even if you believe that they can't hear you (and even if they are mock-worthy). :twocents:
