    Goofball replied to JennieBSN's topic in General Nursing

    Last, but not least, My dog ate a dirty diaper and I had to pull it out of his butt when it finally started to pass.!! [/b] This last statement I thought was pretty twisted, even for a nurse (and...

  2. What Freaks You Out?

    Goofball replied to JennieBSN's topic in General Nursing

    HarrrrHarrr, Chuckie, too funny. I know many pts or family members always insist on saving gross stuff to show us, too. But they usually let it coagulate and putrify in the bathroom for quite some...

    Goofball replied to JennieBSN's topic in General Nursing

    Chuckie, that's a good one. I also don't like putting a condom cath on a pt. with a penile

  4. two year RN degree programs

    Goofball replied to almostrn's topic in General Nursing

    Mopsi you have a very good point about looking at 10 nurses with the same degree and getting a totally different bunch of skill levels. I was thinking mostly of new grads though, and it seems like...

  5. two year RN degree programs

    Goofball replied to almostrn's topic in General Nursing

    The ADN or 2-year RNs we get are much better prepared clinically than the BSN's, at least around here. The BSN's are better prepared for management titles, but they seem to get less exposure and...

  6. What Freaks You Out?

    Goofball replied to JennieBSN's topic in General Nursing

    Hey, I'm trying that soft-serve idea sometime! Might beat changing the sheets again. OK, now I'm not obsessed with scrotums or anything, but I have yet another story about them. I was helping about 6...

  7. What Freaks You Out?

    Goofball replied to JennieBSN's topic in General Nursing

    We have speakers that project into the nursing station from our TB isolation rooms, so that alarms can be heard while the room doors are shut. People tend to forget all about those speakers...

  10. Floating of ICU RNs

    Goofball replied to braveheart's topic in MICU, SICU

    OK this might be off the subject a bit, but just have to mention, with ____ advertising not only a 14% raise to all their RNS, they are also re-vamping their med surg floors so that one nurse gets...

  11. Floating of ICU RNs

    Goofball replied to braveheart's topic in MICU, SICU

    We are not yet unionized..almost, several times, but it has always fallen through at the last minute every time we have organized. It's the volume of pts, the volume of paperwork, meds, procedures,...

  12. Floating of ICU RNs

    Goofball replied to braveheart's topic in MICU, SICU

    Our ICU has a number system, so that we take turns floating out to neuro, ortho, oncology (all these units have many tele beds on them, but we don't necessarily get those pts. when we float there; it...

  13. Help I am a new grad and I made a medication error!

    Goofball replied to Rosey's topic in General Nursing

    Yah, Rosey, get back up on that horsey and ride! You have a conscience, and that in itself says you are a good nurse. One time I never noticed, until 6 hours into my chaotic shift, that a pt. had the...

    No! this one is too much. HA! Do you think the guy did a legal name change, just to match his

  15. help me please i'm in deep water

    Goofball replied to saeed's topic in MICU, SICU

    Try AACN (American Association of Critical Care Nurses) or ask a clinical nurse specialist. In our ICU, it is the policy to first, auscultate the lungs, then next to hyperoxygenate (NOT hyperventilate...

  17. What Freaks You Out?

    Goofball replied to JennieBSN's topic in General Nursing

    We do get pretty encrusted as we gain experience, but working around maggots? eeewooooo, glad we don't do that in our hospital. Recently we had a new Nursing Assistant orienting with us. She'd been...

  18. What Freaks You Out?

    Goofball replied to JennieBSN's topic in General Nursing

    Hoolihan, this is one of the few places I feel that it's safe and ok to be 'unprofessional'- it's the stuff we all think to ourselves at work but can't say it! And your post cracked me up. As for...

  19. What Freaks You Out?

    Goofball replied to JennieBSN's topic in General Nursing

    Sandigapeachlpn, if somebody handed me their finger they'd cut off, I'd lose it right then and there. That's right up there with the intestinal worms in the bedpan story. As for you guys who find all...

  21. What Freaks You Out?

    Goofball replied to JennieBSN's topic in General Nursing

    Zee, I think you win this whole thread. I've never seen worms come out of anyone. i did once take care of a 20+-girl from Mexico in a coma who died that same shift, who the Drs. said had worms in her...

  22. What Freaks You Out?

    Goofball replied to JennieBSN's topic in General Nursing

    Smitty, somehow I've escaped ever having the pleasure of seeing a bone marrow biopsy. Isn't the patient screaming and writhing? or is that just the nurse? and exactly what do they use, a drill or a...

  23. What Freaks You Out?

    Goofball replied to JennieBSN's topic in General Nursing

    sputum in your eye definitely qualifies as gross. One time I was scrubbing a pts subclavian line site, and the Don Knotts-type resp. therapist chose that time to suddenly disconnect the vent tubing...

  24. What Freaks You Out?

    Goofball replied to JennieBSN's topic in General Nursing

    I had a confused pt. who vomited copious green slime into his soupbowl, then picked it up and started drinking it again. I had to wrestle it from him, he just wouldn't give it up. He reminded me of my...
