Share Your Full Moon Stories

Next full moon is right around the corner. We all know that it gets crazy during a full moon. Share your full moon experience. Do you have any full moon stories to share?

I refuse to believe in full moons anymore. I have learned that the general public is ******* crazy no matter what the lunar cycle holds.

Previously stable patient has a restless night. The morning comes and he becomes non-responsive, thrashing around and kicking caregivers. Orders come for ativan, then Haldol. This only slows him down a little. He 'takes out' a sitter and has to be restrained. Labs, Ct, etc show nothing. Two days later as the full moon wanes, he returns to baseline and remembered nothing. Go figure, made for two he**ious days for us.

I've always found it a little disturbing that there are some nurses who really, truly, honest to God believe that a full moon will make people crazy....

That character in the back with the green shirt looks like me dragging my butt into work on the last night of a cluster of nights in a row.

I feel this way as well.

Critical thinking? What's that?
