I worked for a while in a residential hospice facility...often, before one of our residents would die, many of the staff nurses would see a little child (sometimes boy, sometimes girl) playing in the hallway. The timing was never consistent...sometimes it would be minutes before a death, sometimes it would be hours or days, but always a death would follow. Seeing the child never was really scary..except that you knew it was something freaky. The whole place has a peaceful feel..not scary usually. Often, patients would speak about angels at their side. Once we had a nun as a patient and when she died we heard singing...checked all the rooms for a choir on tv and found nothing to explain the singing.

I worked nights and all the new people get initiated. so that night they told one of our rn's to take a body to the morgue, she got in the elevator and the body sat up she was freaked but it ended up being one of the other rn's playing a joke. when i worked maturnity they used to pretend they dropped dolls which we thought were babies.

Then you have to make the effort.

several years ago, while working night shift in a long term care facility, myself and another rn were sitting at the nursies station which overlooked all three halls. i looked up and seen what looked like a white silouette, like an angel floating across the hall from one room to across the hall. i looked at the other nurse, and she said without looking at me, i seen it too. a few minutes later, the resident in that room pushed her call light. the other nurse and i went to her room and she was saying, "i saw an angel on my ceiling. " later that night, we had another resident on a different hall crying that she had also seen an angel on her ceiling! neither of these ladies died anytime soon after these incidents!

this is a totally true story!

'i have believed in angels ever since"

Well, so much for sleep tonight after reading this! lol I dont have a ghost nurse story, but the neighbors house is supposedly haunted. Lights turn on and off by themselves. Along with the light switch. Doors open and close also. Interesting...

i love this stuff. it gives me goosebumps, but doesn't really scare me, just gives me hope that the soul goes on after death.

I'm at work right now in an LTC facility, and we had a lady pass away yesterday morning. Tonight (I work 11-7) her call bell has gone off three times... I finally unplugged it because it was scaring the CNAs... I don't find it frightening, more like she is still wanting a little attention.
