  19. Addressing patients?

    LeahJet replied to CanopyCindy's topic in General Nursing

    ohohoh...and I know this is a tad off subject but I HATE it when people laugh/cut up/act silly in a code. Or when the family is coming in to view the body and people are laughing and joking around....

  20. Addressing patients?

    LeahJet replied to CanopyCindy's topic in General Nursing

  25. Bizarre!!

    LeahJet replied to UM Review RN's topic in General Nursing

    I once had a prosthetic leg thrown at me. Thankfully, I was faster than the flying leg and the offender was drunk as a skunk. I've also seen a 300lb+ stark naked woman chasing a nurse while trying...
