What Is Your Most Gross, Yucky, Disgusting Nursing Horror Story?

[yazisizit]

I was working a night shift on a tele floor as a new Nurse.

We had this one poor old lady who was confused and was restrained as usual for her safety. She was our designated resident nightmare geri from hell, so she was placed near the Nurse's station.

So we are chilling out at the Nurse's station, chatting and trying to get through another night...

Suddenly, out of the corner of my eye, I see our lady in question standing in the dimly lit doorway of her room!

I instantly leap out and run to her. As I approach her, she appears to be falling towards me, so I meet her in a bear hug...my arms around her waste, and her arms around my shoulders.

As I catch the lady, I notice a very strong smell of feces, and I feel something warm on my hands, arms and shoulders...

My fellow heroes come in behind me, and as the lights are turned on, my worst fears are instantly realized.

Yes, I caught the poor old lady with a good old bear hung football catch, but I was also covered in the lady's feces.

As I look at her, she has feces smeared all over her arms and hands... (and even her face!)

And of course, now so did I!

Not as nasty as some of you guys' stories, but gross none the less. Last week my patient was bent over in front of me pants down with me squatted down behind her to change a dressing on her bottom. She lets out a giant rotten egg fart right in my face!:barf01:I was not happy to say the least....at least it wasn't a wet one!

The guy from a baaad car wreck who was bleeding-out from his rectum, Nine people rotating in groups of three, changing out as one-by-one we were overcome by the smell and sheer volumn of blood...realizing that what we thought were large logs of stool were actually gelatinous, knockwurst-size blood clots..................the poor, filthy young man in contractures, who was brought in from a "CARE" home (YUH,right) who required three baths to clean the yeast-beasties residing in every fold and crack, and when we got to his scrotum,and turned his cathed member to the side to continue cleaning, seeing the foley THROUGH THE HOLES ALL ALONG THE SHAFT OF HIS member. Noy only did they not clean him, thet didn;t turn him very often either........and one that was funnier than gross; we all have had a version of this, I think. The prep of a constipated lady who received 3 bottles of , oh yes, GO-LYTELY, which is a misnomer if ever there was one. She was pooping liguid stool so copiously that it was pouring off the sides of the bed in waterfalls. The supervisor came in to find out what the hilarity was all about and found four nurses with their scrub pants rolled above our knees and large latex gloves covering ourshoes, the fingers of said gloves flapping and tailing streaks of liquid poop.........Last one (for now)when I was a student, a patient had elaphantiasis of the scrotal sac, which was literally the size of a basketball, and when we transferred him out of bed, we students got to hold those GIANT balls so they wouldn't DROP suddenly + cause this poor fellow even more pain than he was already in. Charming!What did you do today at school, dear? But still worse was when he was having diarrhea and trying to get out at the foot of the bed past the side rail , his huge swollen balls folded back under his bottom and being shat upon, and his feet on the floor in puddles of poop slipping and sliding, and him justifiably upset, yelling "I'M BEING EMASCULATED!HELP! HELP!SOMEBODY GRAB MY NUTS!" It was a memorable introduction to my first clinical experience. I was horrified, but later describing it back at the dorm, we were laughing sooo hard my face hurt.

Lmbo!!! I almost spit my drink @ my phone reading the "balls" story!

I was a new CNA in the nursing home and feeling very proud of my first step in my chosen career.

A nice littel old man in a wheel chair waved at one of my co-workers (a pretty littel 18 year-old, fresh out of high school sugar and spice type of girl). He said "honey come over here please" as she bent down to talk to him. He moved the blanket covering his legs and SPLAT! he ejaculated right in her face and mouth. I never saw her again and thus my nursing career beagn...........

omg..IS ALL CAN SAY i THINK i WOULDNT HAVE CAME BACK ALL U WOULDVE HEARD WAS "THAT'S THE GIRL RIGHT THERE" AS SHE GOES BY

I worked as a CNA in a nursing I have some gross ones, but not NEARLY as gross as yours.

1) One late night I came to straighten one of my assigned residents bathrooms. I found a big BM in the toilet and tried flushing it down. BUT it clogged up the toilet and started BACKING UP! Pretty soon the whole floor was soaked with BM chunks and pee. However I did stop it from leaking into the room with towels. My boss came in with a plunger and solved the problem. BUT my shoes were soaked with poop water and later that week my ingrown nails started hurting really bad and I got a bad infection, resulting in surgery of removing my ingrown nails. So actually it was a good thing :)

2) One memory, but not really gross, is one resident LOVED putting bengay cream (I think thats what you call it) all over herself. So when I walked into the room it always gave me a HORRIBLE HEADACHE. The menthol was so strong it was uncomfortable to be in that room. I felt bad for her neighbor.

3) There was a 500+ lb resident that had to have all the aids just to move him. I really liked the fellow. It was so hard to clean him up after his BM, even with the 2 other aids. His bed was a extra large hospital bed and none of the sheets in the nursing home fit, so it was even a BIGGER HASSLE to lay down multiple sheets under him. The most embarrasing moment for me was when I was performing pericare I could not find his member to clean around it. It was so uncomfortable digging around the folds of fat. I felt really bad for him, that resident did not last long

As a second year student nurse on neuro-surgery, I was helping the trained nurse with a lift up the bed - a young 19 year old with an AVM that had bled and the poor guy now had a trachy. Of course he coughed as I'm leaning right over him and a big plug of sputum comes flying out of his trachy and hits me in face.

For a while I hated both sputum and trachies. I overcame my disgust by taking my first post as a qualified nurse on a respiratory floor. The way to overcome these things really is to face them head on - I now enjoy looking after trachies, and though I can't exactly say I like sputum, I can deal with it.

This was told to me a couple years ago by one of my charge nurses..

He was working in the ER when a lil old lady came in complaining of "leaves from my lady parts".. Once examined, she indeed had some sort of vegetation down there.. She fessed up that she had a prolapsed uterus and was sticking potatoes in her lady parts to hold it in place. She had forgotten one of the potatoes...The pulled out a shriveled up tater that had sprouted.

He referred to this as his "tater tw@t" story :barf01:

I once saw an order on such a patient who needed to be cathed, and they nurses couldn't find his member either, so they called in a urologist and he had to use a lady partsl speculum to expose it.

When I had my peds clinicals, I was caring for a 12 y/o boy with a nasty respiratory infection with thick green sputum. Well he was playing the play station in his room while I was bringing him his lunch, the game stopped playing so he took it, spit a huge green loogy on the CD and rubbed it on his gown "to get the smudges off".
