    Patients Say the Darnedest Things Nurses Week Contest

    Davey Do replied to Brian S.'s topic in General Nursing

    Does anyone here actually like nursing?

    Davey Do replied to Sumdaymurse's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe it's because I've done this job so long, I'm comfortable with it, at an age where I could retire, and I've learned ways to deal with short staffing, mean doctors, and bullying coworkers that I...

    Years ago, I brought in my guitar to have a sing-a-long with the patients. One older patient diagnosed with schizophrenia patient bore a resemblance to a 50's rocker, complete with ducktail and curl...

    No one was injured in this situation, but still, the potential was there. A few years ago the geriatric psych unit was undergoing a renovation and patient census was kept to a minimum. During the day,...
