New fun thread. Please finish the sentence:

NO she/he did not:

Mine:

NO SHE DID NOT WALK INTO CLASS WITH a RED THONG CLEARLY SHOWING UNDER HER UNIFORM!:smackingf

No she did not...

raise her hand during lecture and ask the med-surg instructor what the antidote is to an accidental POTASSIUM PUSH. (aka lethal injection.) I wish I had said "a funeral." :bugeyes:

tell a first-semester nursing student to stimulate the patient to erection in order to apply a condom-catheter. (this really happened to my friend - I wish I had known at the time, as this is sexual harassment.) :angryfire

(the OB instructor) tell her students that labor pains are women's punishment for giving Adam the apple in the Garden of Eden. (hey, at least she gave us Good Friday off from clinical). :p

just tell the really nasty doctor that if she wanted the chart I was reading, she had to use the 'magic word.' Oh, yes I did!! :rotfl:

keep up the good posts, everyone :lol2:

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!

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

I had a med secretary that also wrote that when a patient called in with the complaint when I worked in a clinic years ago as a medical assistant and when I saw it, I asked her to read it outloud to me and it took her like three times before she realized what it actually said, not what she thought she had wrote! Then we laughed so hard we almost peed our pants! :roll

We had a girl in our clinical group who also did that!

Also one of the guys in our group used the "red" thermometer to take an oral temp on a patient... :nono:

I have done that exact same thing too!! I like this thread because I realize I'm not the only one that has done these things!

i used to work for a vet and had a receptionist write "owner would like dog's mouth checked, reports dog has a mouth full of pussy teeth" we all about died laughing! perhaps it was a little more comical that we all knew this particular dog hated cats and on several occassions tried to make our clinic kitty lunch.... the receptionist is teased to this day over it whenever we they have a dental check up come in...

No she did not sling pee all over her clinical instructor while removing a foley for the first time!

:imbar (Thankfully it wasn't me... and, for her sake, thankfully the teacher was understanding!!)

... start taking her OWN radial pulse while attempting to compare partner's apical/radial pulses in lab.

Yes I did! I put the stethoscope on my partner's chest and my fingers on my own wrist because it was right there. Thankfully my partner just said "No, no! I think you're supposed to take MY pulse" and we both got a long laugh out of it... I was in outer space that day. :chuckle
