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

Here is my most gross, yucky, disgusting nursing story! Nurses Humor Article

Updated:  

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! :D

I have worked in a nursing home for 2 yrs.now.The funniest thing I have seen recently,was as follows.A co-worker,also an stna,was showering a res.I offered my assist.b-cuz the res.was combative.when my co-worker removed the res.undergarment,and drypride,a small piece of feces flew up and landed on her lower lip.She started jumping around and screaming like someone stuck her with a hot poker.She has earned the nickname -Pottymouth.

huh???? could ya let us know at whom this is directed?

yeah, I was wondering the same thing...

Well, got two goodies to add here...

back in my first year of nursing school I had an observation day in the ER. An older prostitute came in complaining of abd pain and had some discharge. Apparently 'mattress mary' (as the staff knew her as) was a frequent flyer there. Doc's exam revealed a sizeable object in her lady parts, and it was removed. It was a roll of money, but all old and slimy and covered in pus (never mind the smell)!!! ICK, ACK, URK...

The second event was probably the grossest incident I have had (I'm sure something else will eventually take it's place). I had an admission of an elderly lady with a bowel obstruction. She had that awful fecal breath smell. So anyway, she managed to vomit what seemed to be about a litre of liquid poop all over the place, and aspirate a good lot of it. So as we're cleaning her up, all's I could smell was rotten crap and she would try to talk and the smell still emanated. She died within a few hours.

Bleck.

blech.

blech.

and blech.

:)

We had a "Prim and Proper" Gastro Doc (you know, the ones that stand on a pedestal and think their **** dont stink ), He was called in to do a exam on a patient complaining of abdominal pain and GI bleed. As good nurses do, we informed the Gasto guy this man (according to the flat plate abdomen Xray) was full of ($*%, but us being "Dumb Nurses" , didnt know what we were talking about as we stood back and watched as he proceeded to pump air into this man and take a look see with the scope..... THEN SUDDENLY a beautiful silloute of the doc was sprayed all over a freshly painted wall !!!! GOT TO LOVE THOSE GASTRO GUYS !!!!!:p

All these stories makes me wonder why we love our jobs sooooooooo much!!!!!

That's what you call dirty money!!!! Did she get to keep it? If she did, I wonder what she paid for with it, and if the poor sould taking the cash noticed anything strange about it.... and better yet, I wonder if it's still in circulation!!! EWWW!!!:eek:

a_pukey.gifThere you go!

Aaawwww!!!!! That's just such a baaaad thought!!!!!!!!!!

Well, I have to tell you... I am not a nurse yet, and haven't even started school yet... but I now know that I am making the right decision to leave my current career & go into nursing. Apparently, I was born for it. I've been reading these stories while I eat my lunch. They are completely cracking me up (except for the few sad ones), and not one of them made me put down my fork! Either I was meant to be a nurse, or I have a really serious food addiction! :-) Keep the stories coming!
