  9. *Weird* Patient Allergies

    Shenanigans replied to cherrybreeze's topic in General Nursing

    Having serious allergies myself (including having had a few decent annies) it amuses me when pts tell me they're allergic to something and they're a little off in their description! Like one told me...

    Shenanigans replied to Sue Damones's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Interesting, cos in NZL it seems to be the opposit. I used to work part time in an elder hospital and we'd get patients from the main hospital and they'd have the most necrotic pressure area sores and...

  16. Learn To Say It Correctly!!

    Shenanigans replied to SheriLynnRN's topic in General Nursing

    I've heard so many doctors say "O2 stats".... My pet peeve revolves around people putting the pocessive apostropey on names that end with s then adding another s. Like "Magnus's".... While...

  17. odor

    Shenanigans replied to pmw2007's topic in General Nursing

    Odours don't bother me much - I grew up on a farm, I've smelt things that would probably make any seasoned RN throw up! Anyway, on my elective placement I had a pt with COPD, lung ca. and emphysaema...

    Shenanigans replied to sam3992's topic in General Students

    Shenanigans replied to DachRN's topic in Nursing Humor

    A man showed up at the ED, having amuptated his finger in the door about 12 hours ago - he expected the doctor to sew it back on. Here's the kicker - he'd left the finger in the glove box of his car,...

    Shenanigans replied to c18436572's topic in General Students

    Try not to think of it as "gross" or don't go in thinking "I hope I dont' pass out", look at it as a learning experience. The other day I saw a woman who was mid miscarrying - the pregnancy had...
