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

Oh my GOD!!!!!!!!! AHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!! EWWWWW!!!!!!!

:eek: :chair:

NOW THAT'SWHAT I CALL PERFECT TIMING!!! HAHAHAHA

I was a new CNA in the nursing home and feeling very proud of my first step in my chosen career.

A nice littel old man in a wheel chair waved at one of my co-workers (a pretty littel 18 year-old, fresh out of high school sugar and spice type of girl). He said "honey come over here please" as she bent down to talk to him. He moved the blanket covering his legs and SPLAT! he ejaculated right in her face and mouth. I never saw her again and thus my nursing career beagn...........

THAT'S WHAT I CALL PERFECT TIMING!!!! HAHAHAHA. POOR GIRL, DOES SHE SWALLOW?? HAHAHA

Oh where to start...... having a patient pass gas through a new ileostomy which I was in the middle of cleaning...no mask....liquid feces shot straight into my face and mouth. Whilst working in the ER we had a headless body brought in, the result of a horrible motorbike accident. The cop (who is a curious shade of green) hands me a crash helmet....with the head in it.

Oh and talking of gross-ness......I must put my hand up to committing a rotten act of gross proportions towards a new student nurse...... I have held this guilt for 23 years!!! We were showing the new nurse how to test for occult blood.... I had concocted a yummy chocolate fudge mixture and placed it in a (new) bedpan with a little toilet paper..... Enter new nurse with attitude. "And this is how we test for blood in feces..... I stuck my finger into the 'faux-feces' and scooped up a big old lump.....then placed it firmly in my mouth. That poor nurse keeled over backwards and hit the floor. If perchance you were that nurse.... I beg forgiveness..... it was me.

PsychNiteOwl,

You get the award! Among the may horrifying tales here the stool shooting into your mouth and the helmet with a head but no body are award winning. If the public only had a clue what nurses deal with we would be getting CEO money and weekly pedicures and.............

Your story about the student nurse was hilarious. No forgiveness needed in my opinion.:rotfl:

Not as gross as most of these other postings but still a scenario only other nursing personnel could get a chuckle out of:

LOL asleep in wheelchair after dinner. Post-CVA, she needs a lot of help to transfer at the best of times. So there are 4 of us surrounding her and each holding on and when we got her over onto the bed there was a black, tarry "turd" on the floor where she had been. WTF?-this lady is wearing ankle-length pants! Finally someone got a piece of paper and fished it up off the floor; it turns out she had steak tips for dinner and dropped one...

I had a coworker at the ECF who was a chronic practical joker. She told us about one of her prize winners from the early days. She got a diaper and put chocolate pudding in it. Walked down the hall carrying it bare handed, strategically folded so part of the inside (specifically the brown part) was showing. Her supervisor jumped all over her "What are you doing? You know you can't just carry that around! Where did it come from?" That was exactly the reply she was hoping for. She opened it up, said "I don't remember, wait a sec" The she stuck her finger knuckle deep in the pudding and licked it off. :barf01:

Hey Crunch! Thanks for the award! :thankya: I haven't had one in years! And it's for being gross.... Alright!!!!:yelclap:

OMG --- this was defanentaly not a good thread for a new nursing student to have read...I'm really starting to reconsider....~feeling a lil dizzy~

--CLaire

NO DOUBT!! Been reconsidering ever since I read the post about the guy giving the "sweet little aide" a mouthful of surprise!

NO DOUBT!! Been reconsidering ever since I read the post about the guy giving the "sweet little aide" a mouthful of surprise!

I'm kinda thinking the sweet little aide post is fake...

I've got one that happened this past weekend, I was interviewing a pt that was just transfered when my aid asked, "Adam, is the pt in the room accross the hall allowed out of bed, (Yes the demented one accross the hall.) I suddenly hear a crash followed by a splat. A rather loud splat to say the least.

It seems my pt got ouf of bed, pulled out the foley, and then stood straight up, fell backwards onto a fully loaded diaper, full of a very rather large bowel movement. Sending the BM all over the place. Splattered on the walls, curtins, bed, and of coorifice the patient. Interestingly enough, the pt was uninjured in this. We credit the BM for it crash absorbing properties from saving the pt from a THR.

I finished reading this thread the other day and have since grown obsessed with my ears for some reason!!! Horrors!! I keep thinking i can feel something crawling in there at times and keeo thinking I have tons of earwax, both which are so not the case!!

You have made me a neurotic mess! :)
