I thought it would be fun to start a thread dedicated to the things we hate that happen to us as students! Let's try not to focus on the annoying classmates we have but rather things like:
I HATE IT WHEN
I find out my patient has MRSA after working with him for 4 hours including bathing AND toileting assistance
I'm in the middle of a head to toe assessment and I reach for my pen light only to find the battery is dead
I'm changing a patient on contact precautions and I get an unbearable itch in my eye!
My glasses start to slip off my face while my hands are covered in poop!
The automatic blood pressure cuff inflates and the velcro comes apart and pops off the patient's arm lol
Some part, usually the thermometer, of the VS machine doesn't work!
You tell your patient not to get up and you find him in the bathroom
I need to assist a patient quickly and spend 13 seconds trying to put on the gloves because they get stuck in a roll on the back of my hand
I gotta think of some more and I'm sure I'll be adding to this list real soon!
