No She/he Did Not!!!

UM Review RN, ASN, RN · Mar 28, 2005

No, she did not....

Look at the patient's face and note of course the patient's not aspirating! while giving her first IM injection as the instructor hissed, "Aspirate! Aspirate!"

Duh. :rotfl:

You guys have made me remember hilarious things about nursing school ... Ok, here goes ...

Oh no she did not ask how a woman pees with a tampon in ...

same student ...

Oh no she did not start an IV going the wrong direction in a pt's arm (pointed down rather than up)

and yes she did graduate and pass NCLEX.

(was not me ... I swear!)

No he did not... ask what AAOx3 was, after charting in clinicals for 3 semesters.

No she did not come in ready to deliver with a birth plan and then test positive for marijuana after we found out about her hx of drug use!
Yes she did!

We've all done that one!

Oh no she did not try to cram that foley into the woman's privy parts while pt's daughter looked on and said, "I think it's a little lower"...yep, me

Oh no she did not, while ambulating with her Vietnam era vet pt at the *VA hospital* say, "You're getting quite a workout today, like a Jane Fonda workout video"...yeah, me again :uhoh3:

Oh no she did not say to her student in front of the patient, "How many (slur for person of Polish descent) does it take to work one of these IV pumps?" meaning to demonstrate self-deprecating humor, I think...not me who said it, but I was the student praying for the floor to open up and let me in

sigh

Keepstanding, ASN, RN · Apr 23, 2005

No...the nurse did not just tell an ICU patient to just poop in the bed and she would clean him up later.....When he asked for a bed pan, on a busy day. :angryfire :crying2: :uhoh3: :madface: :nono: :nono: :nono: :nono: :nono: :nono: :nono: :nono: :nono:

No she did not...
Ask me "where is his member?" *across the awake patient* when giving an overweight patient peri-care following a BM change. THEN found it, took it between two fingers and say "I found it! How could he have sex if it is so small?!":eek:
SERIOUSLY! It was my patient and I about DIED of embarrassment!
(Fortunately, she failed our last Mastery and was asked to leave the program. Unfortunately, she is eligible to petition the school for re-admission next Fall. :uhoh21: )

Oh my Lord I hope you reported that. I would have been furious on that patient's behalf :angryfire

No she didn't....

Have an elderly woman expire, went to the bathroom & brought out denture cup. Tried to put dentures in dead pts mouth but couldn't get them to fit Then I saw the pt's dentures laying on her bedside table! Rinsed off other pt's dentures & put them back in the bathroom where I found them. I don't know if the pt noticed anything different about her dentures. :rotfl:

Yes, I did that shortly after I got out of nursing school.

... just pass a note under the instructor's nose asking the rest of the students what albumin levels indicate after just having written a nutrition paper.

... just whine at me after I had helped a nurse with a new (to me) procedure, "You just leave us out of everything!!!" (well get up off your backside and find something to do!)

... leave the hospital with the clinical group and instructor to visit another clinical site, get lost and just go home.

... shout out loud in front of the staff nurses that the client's previous medical history was irrelevant to her plan of care for the day.

... ask the instructor, "Are you going to punish us ..." for not following the format exactly as was shown to us. (the rest of us almost wet our pants laughing)

These are great. Keep them coming!!! :chuckle

Tell a discharged patient he was free to go (said pt was in handcuffs, accompanied by a sheriff's deputy), then grin really big, and say "well, not really." The deputy got a laugh out of it anyway! :rotfl:
