    Jessiedog posted a topic in Nursing Humor

    I can remember a few of these, and thought we'd all get a laugh from sharing. My most, most, MOST horrible one was this: Working in a 60-bed nursing home, I was caring for a gentleman with terminal...

    Jessiedog replied to Jessiedog's topic in Nursing Humor

    Don't worry sweetie, it happens to all of us. You will NEVER know everything, and most nurses will be happy to help you out until you understand the lingo of your current specialty. I've found the...

    Jessiedog replied to TXRN02's topic in Nursing Humor

    As a new & very nervous grad nurse, I was assisting with putting in a thoracic tube on the ward. I was responsible for holding the local, which came in glass ampoules. I dropped one, and it...

    Jessiedog replied to TXRN02's topic in Nursing Humor

    One of my early codes, and I'd never pushed the Crash Cart before. Anyway, I was closest when the code went out, and adrenaline spurted. I grabbed that cart from the treatment room and barelled out....

    Jessiedog replied to yazisizit's topic in Nursing Humor

    Working several years ago in a rehab ward, we had one guy with a BKA due to poor circulation. The other foot wasn't faring so well, either. He'd ignored the warning signs of cool & dusky toes,...

  11. Share Your Funniest Patient Stories...

    Jessiedog replied to Trvln Nurse's topic in Nursing Humor

    I have to agree. When I started nursing, it was routine to posey people to anything. I remember one old man had TWO poseys on, one frontways and one backwards, because he was so good at getting out of...

  12. Things Patients Have Taught Me NOT To Do

    Jessiedog replied to Trixxy's topic in Nursing Humor

    What is even more disturbing, is that we can ALL visualise this without trying too hard! So, who's in the worse state? The one person who did it, or the millions of us who can SEE IN OUR MIND'S EYE...

  13. Things Patients Have Taught Me NOT To Do

    Jessiedog replied to Trixxy's topic in Nursing Humor

    Don't ignore the large label on the jug in the ward fridge that says "CAUTION: BOWEL PREP" and give your toddler a large drink while visiting Grandpa. The results will be nasty, and you will be awake...

    Jessiedog replied to NurseyTonyaLPN's topic in Nursing Humor

    I have asthma, which is often exacerbated by an URTI. I go along to the Dr to get the certificate I need to stay off work for 2-3 days while I treat myself at home. I couldn't get to my usual GP,...

  17. Funny dreams about your job as a nurse

    Jessiedog replied to mondkmondk's topic in Nursing Humor

    I've had so many dreams about nursing, I don't know where to start!! One that comes to mind is one night I was doing a "quick shift" (finish at 10.30pm, start again at 7.00am). I'd had a horrendous...

  19. Things nursing school FAILED to tell us

    Jessiedog replied to Debbie_LPN's topic in Nursing Humor

    No, that feeling doesn't ever quite go away, because there's always something to learn, and somebody else who knows a better way of doing something, or another idea. You skills grow, and your...

  21. Welcome to the Forum - General Aussie Chat

    Jessiedog replied to gwenith's topic in Australia, New Zealand

    What I found, was that if you are willing to do whatever is needed, you'll find most nurses supportive. What can be resented is 'fussiness' or not being a team player. From my experience, most...

    Jessiedog replied to Megsd's topic in Nursing Humor

    I now work in a private clinic, and while nowhere near as stressful as the hospital I just left, it does have it's moments. We had a lady brought in by ambulance after 'fainting' at the local...

    Jessiedog replied to Debbie_LPN's topic in Nursing Humor

  24. Most Embarassing Nursing Moments

    Jessiedog replied to Jessiedog's topic in Nursing Humor

    I have been caught this way SOOOO many times. My defense has been to become cynical, and doubt what most patients say. I'm not nasty, I just wait to see proof of what they have claimed before I...

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

    Jessiedog replied to yazisizit's topic in Nursing Humor

    The reason 'us nurses' cope with these and all other horrible things, is that they're attached to a human being who is in need of care. Yes, they're horrible, yes they make you gag and heave (yes,...
