What Is Your Most Gross, Yucky, Disgusting Nursing Horror Story?

Here is my most gross, yucky, disgusting nursing story! Nurses Humor Article

Updated:  

I was working a night shift on a tele floor as a new Nurse.

We had this one poor old lady who was confused and was restrained as usual for her safety. She was our designated resident nightmare geri from hell, so she was placed near the Nurse's station.

So we are chilling out at the Nurse's station, chatting and trying to get through another night...

Suddenly, out of the corner of my eye, I see our lady in question standing in the dimly lit doorway of her room!

I instantly leap out and run to her. As I approach her, she appears to be falling towards me, so I meet her in a bear hug...my arms around her waste, and her arms around my shoulders.

As I catch the lady, I notice a very strong smell of feces, and I feel something warm on my hands, arms and shoulders...

My fellow heroes come in behind me, and as the lights are turned on, my worst fears are instantly realized.

Yes, I caught the poor old lady with a good old bear hung football catch, but I was also covered in the lady's feces.

As I look at her, she has feces smeared all over her arms and hands... (and even her face!)

And of course, now so did I! :D

Something like that wouldn't surprise me, since some people prefer pain to pleasure. Still gross, though.

Since we're on the subject....I don't know if this is true so if anyone knows or has seen this out there, please share...

I went into a local tattoo/piercing salon recently and was talking the one of the guys that works there. He said recently there is a new thing going on in the gay community were males are having there urethra dialated (using the same method that people use to get their earlobes so huge they can put a beer can in), and having sexual intercourse thru the urethra.

To me, seeing what I seen as a nurse, anything sounds plausible, but this just seemed off the chart!

Anyone know anything?????????????:no:

yup-that stuff is out there on the internet...You can buy medical fetish equipment on line. Urethral sounds ,foley caths and enema equipment are apparently very popular. I think I see an alternative to "traditional " nursing in my future..:chuckle It's amazing-and a bit sickening-but every orifice can be dilated to gargantuan proportions..Well-they are not harming anyone but themselves so I say "go for it"

I once had a HIV + woman came into the ED with her boyfriend. this woman was on her period and came in for excessive bleeding. After giving her pads, wash cloths, and other personal cleaning products, she became angry and started throwing her soiled sanitary pads all over the flooor and at the nurses!:no:

I once had a woman who had a colostomy was turning tricks in her hospital room. After finishing with a john, she would press the call light for someone to come in her room and change her sheets!:barf01:When asked "why" she what she did in the hospital, her reply was "well i don't have straight sex with these men; they penetrate my colostomy and i don't have to get pregnant; that's pretty easy for $20.00.:no:

Had a 900# lady admitted during the night and I had the honor of cleaning her up the next day. While bathing her I had to lift skin folds to get the foulest smelling stink off her. I lifted her breast and there was a dead kitten in the fat fold. I nearly aspirated on my vomit. It must have been there for a while because it was infested with maggots.

I dont know why this made me laugh hahah.. i think it's so disgusting and unbelieveable that it's funny. hahahah come on, a kitten???! :chuckle

When I was working in the ER, this elderly lady was brought in post MVA on a backboard and collared. As we were trying to get through all her winter clothing to put her on a monitor, (did I mention she was HOH?) she began to complain that she might "throw up". I tried to calm her, however, in short order she began to vomit.

I grabbed the back board and turned her over onto her side so she could vomit through the bars of the gurney - all over my legs and feet. After a bit, it seemed she had stopped, so I asked her if she was through, she couldn't hear me, so yes....I bent down....opened my mouth wide and shouted "are you done vomi" mid sentence she vomited, directly into my mouth.

YUK!!!

:igtsyt:Was there any beef in it? Just quoting Clara Piller from the old Burger King Commercials. I couldn't help myself. A sick yucky funny struck me when I read your post. Hope I didn't make you sick all over again.

Franemtnurse: ya know, I don't remember if there was beef in it, I remember just spitting it out and waiting for her to finish. Another nurse saw what happen and came over and held the backboard so I could go "freshen up" - I shoved my head in the sink to get it out of my hair, brushed my teeth, and borrowed scrubs from maternity. Funny thing is, I never got nauseated, I was too concerned for the patient. Weird, the things you remember.

OMG - these stories are amazingly horrible.

I have been following this thread since it's inception, and I cannot stop no matter how horrifiying.

My hat's off to all you "real" nurses. I just don't think I could have done these things with these people. Y'all are just amazing and wonderful and I admire you to no end.

EEEEEWWH! I can't seem to close my mouth. Each story I read seems more disturbing than the last. I'm glad I work in Peds. Can't really think of anything that compares.:eek:

I think I've posted this one before, but here goes! I was a fairly new nurse in a nursing home & we had a bedridden patient with an enormous abcess on his back...it actually looked like an infected zit.

All shifts were dressing & cleansing this wound, he was on ATB's as well. I had to change the dressing & cleanse it one day & the (male) aide I had asked to assist me in holding this fellow on his side told me "I can take care of this problem, RIGHT NOW!!!"

Ronnie proceded to apply pressure around the abcess & popped that sucker right open! It shot across the bed & landed on the wall behind me....it looked like someone had thrown a raw egg against the wall! I was horrified!

It took a couple days to quit draining & heal up, but it did in less than a week. After many weeks of "treating" this nasty thing, an aide (& not a really good one for that matter) remedied the problem in a day!
