Read about my night!

Just got home from my evening shift and had a couple things happen that were just too funny to keep quiet. First, as soon as I arrived I learned that my middle aged patient down the hall just urinated in the closet. ..still unsure what came over him! He was lucid mostly the whole night except peeing all over the room! Secondly while charting at the desk at the end of my shift a younger pt. came and informed me that he wanted moved to a private room due to his roomate massaging the young man's feet and "praying for him" Sometimes dont you think you work at a psych. facility?

Lol.

We were just saying our Medicine floor felt like a psych unit last night. We had a confused, AKA pt. His bed was wheeled to the front, near the nsg station. All 4 siderails are up, and he is trying to get out, lifting himself up on his one good leg. All he he was asking for were shoes and he's asking everyone that walks by his bed.... "what kinda shoes you got, rubber or leather?" ... "I need shoes, how can I get out of here without shoes!"

One of the nurses told him to sit back in his bed "you can't walk with one leg" He replies, "what, you think you can do better?" He was hilarious. I had few good laughs last night.

Another fall prone pt with dementia is roaming the halls looking for something, he's only speaking Italian so of course we have no clue what he's looking for. He is getting into other rooms, removing mattresses from empty beds. His roommate (also a bit confused) is following him around with his walker, keeping an eye on him. You know, he's got his homeboy's back.
