You guys are NOT gonna believe this but seriously...I couldn't make this up.
RN (male) was caught erecting pt member,
Why?
He thought you had to have the member erect in order to do the catheter.
OMG!!

That is not only stupid but could be criminal. Maybe criminally stupid! What nursing school did he go to? That is sexual assault of a patient.

Tell every registered and unregistered staff member how to do their job because that is how they are learning it in school and hey, school is just like the real world where the students learning needs come before the needs of the entire unit.

I always swore I would be diplomatic with students but some of them really test one's patience and good will.

No she did not... get back from break 30 minutes late because she had to get a chicken sandwich then proceed to eat her sandwich with her mouth open while telling a story to the class. :uhoh3:

In a classroom full of 70 students, classmate shouts and repeats confidently "28,000 ml/min" referring IV rate

Needless to say I never say her again the following quarter...

No did she not have her Boyfriend come into a class for new employee orientation ( very quiet room) and get her car keys from boyfriend and then they started talking about the really awesome new tires he had just put on her camero, ahhhhh jeech!, everyone just listened as they carried on this 5 minute conversation!

I never witnessed this but sure heard about it, in the old days when this LTC place was late to get rid of nurses caps at work, this one nurse had her hat fall into the toliet when she was bending over-- and then got it back out-- dryed it with a towel and pinned it back up on her head! whew!!

No she did not hold the glucose lancet backwards, thereby poking HER OWN FINGER instead of the pt's while doing a fingerstick! She then had to play it off to the pt that the lancet must have misfired, and she would need to get another one! The instructor witnessed it and admitted that she had to turn away so the pt wouldn't see her laugh!

That was the best cover story ever!!!!

No she didn't a few weeks left in A & P class ask the teacher what medial meant AND if the professor could give her more time on her test after consistently being last to finish the test (so there 1 hour and a half :eek:to do 50 questions)coming to class late and sleeping....

We were studying hormones and their effects on the reproductive systen in A+P 2. Naturally, the subject of birth control comes up. The instructor, who had grown up in the south, proceeds to tell us how the only foolproof method he's aware of is when a woman holds an aspirin between her knees all night... Then the really quiet woman sitting in the front row says "AND THAT'S WHEN YOU TAKE HER FROM THE BACK!" Funniest moment so far!

No she did not describe the purulent drainage as "*****" in her nursing notes.... :chuckle

OMG! This very same thing happened to my husband at work...his co-worker wrote "Green pus-sy discharge" in her note. He asked, "Don't you mean purulent?" ....much to her embarrassment!
