What is the funniest or most embarrassing nursing experience you've had

[jaad]

My funniest was when I had a sun-downers/dementia pt on M/S walking the floor on night shift.

I said "come on, let's go to bed...and this senior pt ran back to bed, and said okay you can get on top" LOL

We had a older lady who had a hx of micro strokes. Whenever anyone came into the room she would say "I like tea, do you like tea?" okay easy enough to answer, then she would say "I like marijuana, do you like marijuana?" of course this was always said loudly and we always had a chuckle. The funniest though was when we went into her room to change and clean her up, she would scream at the top of her lungs " SNAKES,SNAKES..." over and over.

I also had an elderly gentleman who I was assisting to the bathroom who accidentally grabbed my butt and then apologized profusely and then said..."but it was nice" That gave me quite a chuckle

Working with wounded warriors we have a lot of men and women with amputations. There was one double amputee LCPL who would 'initiate' new nurses by pressing the call button and asking for a pair of socks. It always gave them a chuckle when they would come in and then realize what happened.
