So, I was just wondering what is the CRAZIEST, most OUTRAGEOUS story you have from nursing school?
So make me laugh!
I will share one of my stories first!
Last Spring, while doing my Women's Health and Care of the Newborn baby clinical rotation, I was placed in the Emergency Room for the day.
About 6:30 AM, the registered nurses told me that I needed to go assess and clean up a new admit.
I walked into the room and saw an older, obese black lady who was complaining she couldn't breathe.
She was wearing a diaper.
As the good nursing student I was, I checked the diaper, it was soiled. So, I begin to change the diaper.
As I pulled the diaper off her body, I noticed this HUGE feces-covered mass hanging out of her lady parts. It seriously looked like a HUGE hairless testicle freely hanging out of the lady parts.
I FREAKED out (because this is not a normal finding) and I had to get the registered nurse. I told her about what I found and she said she would examine her too.
After the nurse noticed the poo-covered mass, she told me "Oh, that's her uterus. It has prolapsed out of it's normal place."
Still in shock, I ask the patient if she knew she had a prolapsed uterus and her response was "I have been meaning to have surgery to fix that."
I asked her how long she had known about it and she said "About 3 YEARS!"
I could NOT believe it.
For 3 YEARS, this woman has been peeing and pooping ALL over her uterus. And there is NO way this woman could have walked normally with the size of a football hanging down between her legs.
So, cleaned up her uterus and shipped her to surgery for a hysterectomy.
K.P.A.

Pt with enough yeast cooking in the gut that the feces foaming out smelled of etoh. Seen with my own eye and smelled with my own nose.
Hey, do you think I could bring my dog into the mall if I told them he was a "smelling nose" dog.
