I know exactly how you feel. I did bedside nursing for 10 years and was so burned out that I HAD to make a change. There is a pay difference but for my sanity it was definitely worth it.

I have a 3rd grade little girl that smells like urine. I have given a change of clothes twice this week and had her wipe down in the bathroom. She lives with her father and he doesn't seem to be very hygienic either. This child smells so bad that it ...

I get this at least once a week. Geesh....

This is also our district policy.

I thought I was the only one with this issue.

Doctor ordered milk and molasses enemas all around.

"I'm going to die"

Obviously, not a real nurse because what she hears wouldn't be funny.

Post-op patient with a penile implant. "I can't wait to pump it up"

The nurse on the show "House" Oh wait... there were no nurses on this show because the doctors did everything.... Right

New week. Bring it on.

"You don't build a house without it's foundation, you don't build a hospital without it's nurses"

Patient is being seen for knee pain. Patient "Well, is there anything that I can do to decrease the pain at home?" Doctor "Yeah, lose 100 lbs"

Nope. If the student would have returned to the clinic again that afternoon I probably would have called but otherwise no.

Need input to this situation. A student was sent to me with a pass that said "congestion" The student is a 5th grader that is well known to me. He strolls into the clinic smiling and laughing with another student. First impression, he seems fine with...

Yeah.... I feel your pain. I contribute to every occasion as well and rarely get to participate in the parties or celebrations but....... they do celebrate nurses day every year.

Every time you hear the comment "It hurts really, really bad"

I have no clue what that is.

Thank you for all your input and advice on this matter, I am truly grateful. This nurse is seriously experiencing mental issues... So after a relaxing spring break, I approached this nurse in a non-confrontational and very polite way (with a non-part...

No. With no S/S of distress I would have called the parents. Principal overreacted by calling an ambulance. Who traveled with the student in the ambulance? If the parent was notified and came to the school they could have refused treatment and trans...

I have also had to perform CPR on a toddler in a home situation. This was a fire and the baby wasn't breathing once he was rescued from the house. Auto pilot also took over for me... It was like an out of body experience. After what seemed like forev...

I once had a kid sent to me for "Butt itches" I about fell out of my seat.

This is some really good advice......

Sounds like the MD doesn't want to be called later. lol

It must be in the air........Apparently, a very large dog, took multiple dumps on the side field and kids decided to slide around in it. They were sent to the nurse with passes that read " dog mess on shoes" SMH
