I was receiving a report on a patient & the other nurse said "do you want a sticker?" (to put on my report sheet). The patient leaned forward out of bed really fast and said "YEAH go ahead, stick me. That's all these people do around here. Stick me and draw blood." Little did she know, we were innocent & all I wanted was a sticker label! Haha.
The fire alarm is going off and a code is called to a patient room meaning the fire is in room 7. My charge nurse and I go in and ask if the patient is smoking he says no it's just the hot shower that is the smoke coming out of the bathroom. It smells like cinnamon. My charge nurse put her hand to the door and says it is hot. I say I am sorry sir but I have to come in to make sure everything is ok. I open the door to this middle aged man who is smoking his electronic vape naked on the toilet. I told him I though u said you were just showering. So I confiscated the vape and he said I was only vaping. I gave it to his mom to take out of the hospital.
At a men's health fair, a nurse was performing free prostate exams. The nurse told a male to go behind the curtain and get ready, the male stepped back and looked at her and said, " well aren't you gonna buy me dam* dinner first!?
