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!)
Yeah, one of my coworker has a story of a parent finding maggots growing in her intubated baby's mouth! (thankfully this wasn't my hospital) Baby needed a little mouth care, wouldn't y'all think?

There's no such thing. Just when you think the puking's all over, there's always more.
I want more pukedom, people!
Ask & you shall receive.
Here goes my tale of woe. I work as a nurse in a pediatric rehabilitation hospital with physically & emotionally challenged kids. One evening while bringing one of my patients his meds, he projectile vomited on me from the neck of my shirt to my waist. I managed to not come unglued but I got my co-worker to finish my med pass so I could go home to change. The scent of the vomit was too much to bear so I took my shirt & bra off & tossed 'em into the woods beside the road & drove home topless. It is a tale that has been shared throughout my facility.

Mine isn't quite as interesting, but fairly gross. I was working on the triage desk of Tampa General Hospital when a pick up truck came roaring up and the driver started screaming for help as his was was in the back and she wasn't breathing. Called for assitance and climbed in the back to assess her and she wasn't breathing but had a heartbeat (this is back in the late 70's where you didn't use PPE's) and started rescure breathing. Just as I was about to give my 3rd rescue breath she projectile vomited and got a mouth and facefull. Apparently the reason she wasn't breathing was that she was postical. When the code team made it out ot the ramp I was hanging over the wall puking everything that had eaten for a week (on the hood of one of the attendings BMW parked illegally- was really p.o.'d about the paint job). After 2 gallons of mouth wash was able to return to work, but to this day just a wiff of puke makes me nauseaous.

eeek! I had an end-stage Alzheimer's pt with a prolapsed uterus years ago.The family had refused surgery.We used to coat it with desitin to keep it moist....I HATED touching it....I HATE pressure ulcers to the bone-I HATE exposed tendons...yech...Ear wax on hearing aides...crusty artifical eyes...Scrotums dangling to the floor....Residents removing their dentures at the dining table and licking them clean....Poop pickers and eaters...I hate dementia-there is NO dignity for these people....none.
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...
Oooohhh, this story may end up serving as a cure for a very annoying habit that my teenage son has. He is forever putting things in his mouth or chewing on things. His favorites are the caps off of pens, and the pull tabs off soda cans, but in a pinch he'll nibble on anything and I have told him repeatedly how nasty it is to put money in his mouth because of how often it switches hands...lol...THIS story should finally break his habit. I'm printing it now and showing it to him...hahaha :rotfl: :rotfl:
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...........
Would this be considered sexual assault? That's disgusting.
When I was a student aide, I had a gross and embarrassing encounter with a dirty old man. It was my last week in clinical and my instructor assigned me to bathe a gentleman on my own. I was very confident after all that practice, so I agreed. After I gathered my stuff, I knocked on his door and he told me to come in. I did and he was jerking off like crazy! I was pretty shocked and embarrassed. I heard about old men getting erections, but seeing it was shocking. I was so nervous that I was apologizing like crazy.
:uhoh21: He said, "That's okay honey. Come back later. I just get so hot and horny with all them pretty girl nurses who work here." Then he said,"You're pretty, Kat. Are you going to be my pretty girl tonight and bathe my dick?" And he's stroking himself heavily while saying that. I told him that I'll give him more privacy and he told me to come back later. I practically ran out of his room. I didn't want to bathe him while he had a hard on! My instructor always told me to provide privacy for aroused patients. I hoped they sent a male CNA in his room! But I later got used to the "Dirty Old Men"!

I don't know. Old men do wierd things when they're in nursing homes. That was so gross, ejaculating in the aide's face. I would freak out, but I wouldn't quit. I'd wear a face mask and shield when I'd care for someone like that. I'd wear a gown and gloves too.
