Nursing is a profession that often involves long lonely night shifts in eerie hospital wards. It's a perfect breeding ground for ghost stories. These stories often involve sightings of apparitions, strange noises, and unexplained events that are said to have taken place in hospitals, hospices, and other healthcare settings. Some of these stories are believed to be based on true events, while others are purely fictional. Regardless, they continue to captivate and intrigue both nurses and non-nurses alike - providing a spooky glimpse into the world of healthcare after dark.

I know you have seen and heard freaky things. Share your nursing ghost stories...

I worked for an ambulace service and this was one of thier stories...

2 medic got called to a CPR very late at night. Upon putting the pt in the bus and turing it on the radio blasted sooo loud "SHOT THROUGH THE HEART AND YOUR TO BLAME....." While they were doing CPR and intubating this pt. They kept telling the driver to turn off the radio, and he kept saying "I can't! It won't even turn down!" Of corse, this happened all the way to the hospital, about a 15 min ride...and the radio has never acted up again!...True story :)

I am not a nurse, nor am I here to promote myself for financial gain, I am just here to share some of my experiences as a Channel for Spirit hoping it will be helpful to those who are interested.

I found a link to the website on http://www.ghost-mysteries.com and the one who posted it and others who wrote there said what an interesting site it is, and I feel others like me will visit.

After reading some of the posts made by others I thought it would be good to share some of my Experiences because I can see some of you do believe, and I wanted to tell you some of the things I have learned.

me too-the pets thing. Please. I also will tell about my dad's passing soon. It was last month. It, too, was just not him when I walked in that night:o. His last day...just not him...I will go into it much more. But his last words 24 hours before he died, "Goodbye." "What was that? What did you say?" "bye."

So sorry about your pet loss and your Dad. I lost my dog of dogs to the Spirit World over 5 yrs

I also lost my Dad this past year. some amazing things happened after and some real funny hints that he tends to give my sister. cant really get into that right now either. there are others that I have lost that Ive seen after that. Of course they are all right here, alive and very well. too me its totally normal.

24 hours later at my moms with all my brothers there I was in the bathroom (bros in the house, not in the BR) Anyway I hear this "Hullo!"...I thought wow I know my bro must be in the basement cuz it came from that area (my dad's study)...and boy it was clear as day...I HEARD it, and I thought wow which one of my brothers sounds so much like my dad? I go out to head downstairs to see, to tell them they sound just like him...thinking it might comfort him....Then I hear the TV and instead of going into the basement go into the living room...All my bros were sitting there. "Who just came up from the basement?" They looked at me like I was crazy. "We have been here for a long time going through pix of dad, so no one." "Well who just said Hello?" I had thought one of them went into the basement to talk to their wives on their cell phones (they were verrry preggers and unable to be their yet-one actually gave birth 12 hours before the funeral-wow)...anyway... I guess that was out -the cell phone thing....So I thought well why would they have a reason to even say 'hello' sitting here talking. It wasn't a sarcastic Hellllloooo! and they wouldnt say that--and they said they hadn't been talking for a while just looking at pix. ANYWAY...it had to have been my dad///His last words had been goodbye and he knew I felt guilty for leaving those hours before he died, I think he was trying to say...."I was wrong...it wasn't goodbye...I am still around and up here I am very much 'alive'." I know it is kooky but it was JUST like his intonation and it obviously wasn't my brothers--he had a very different way of saying hello...more like Huhlow. He had told me a long time ago, after his grma died. He woke up in the middle of the night and she was there talking to him. He dismissed it as a dream....but now I am not so sure....And I think now he must know it wasn't a dream...very comforting...huh?;)

Ok, so here's our story; My Dad passed on within this last year.whenever he would visit at my sisters house (while alive) somehow, he would always block up the toilet somehow,after he used it, without fail. She always got nervous about that when he visited. She never had trouble with it unless he used it.

Well , the night he passed(we were all with him in the ICU, going through all this emotional stuff), she went home after it was all over and came home to ..guess what..a blocked toilet. Well after all that crying we could use a good laugh, and we are all sure that it was my Dads way of telling her that hes alive and well , with his sense of humor. He wasnt going to leave without doing that one last time.

Forgive me, but I believe what you have written is pure nonsense. IMO only. If you aren't a nurse, why are you on a nurse's website???:o

Oh and I also wanted to say, my car had died that week and the week after my dad died I ended up going to look at used ones. I went with my mom (in her car) and the first place we went to I ended up considering a Stratus. (Found out later when my parents got their last car, HE had considered a Stratus due to the safety factor. While sitting there thinking about whether I should travel to see this $2000 used car or this one, at 300$ per month, it came to my mind -"what would dad want me in?" That is when my mom told me he had liked the Stratus for safety. Especially since I drive home late and travel a ways...and in the winter it is very scary some nights to think the car may stall in 20 below temps. I am now paying a 300$ car payment. Thanks dad for steering me into the right car. Sorry for the digression.:uhoh21:

I am also thinking the same....I dont want to be rude or anything and its not my intention to label anyone but after reading the post by CVT6702, it just reminded me of the charecteristics of schizophrenia....the experiences are some what delusionals to me....please forgive me I am not trying to insult any one here, just trying to understand.

This is my favorite thread, and I hate to see it twisted up by an argument. I like this thread because I can post the possibly ghostly things I see at work or home or a graveyard etc, and read other nurses'/students'/CNAs' true experiences.

We 'healthcare workers' come to this website to post about our frustrations, tough shifts, dumb bosses, funny experiences, etc. We also may come to this website to learn information about nursing. Just nursing. Not anything else.

Again, this is my favorite thread and I don't want anything to happen to it. It's my week off right now so I don't have anything to post about my occasionally creepy nightshifts, but maybe I will next week.

PS... Does anyone know if the show Ghosthunters is still on? Haven't been able to catch it in a while.

I also like to read about the ghost stories and I do beleive in spirits. Its really cool to read these posts before you go to sleep....you get so scared you are afraid to go to the bathroom....lol

But at the same time I find it hard to beleive when some one claims that they met Einestain or some other famous ppl....I am sorry its just too hard to comprehand:(

Ok I should be going to bed--and I am, but I was sorting through a box in the kitchen when the two overhead lights went off. The porch light and driveway light stayed on--used same switch plate. I just froze. I thought A) their is a critter in the walls chewing on something (OMG) or B) my dad is saying hello---no I don't usually believe that---in the past I have had things happen which I feel were 'signs' telling me things, but this was WEIRD. I flicked the switch off then back on and the light just came on again. I sat and thought about it. Stood froze more like it. I thought wouldn't that be nice? Him saying hello? See, I am staying with my mom for a while and working eves I always stayed up late and left most lights on downstairs, well in the past he would go the the BR and then I would hear him shuffle over to the kitchen lights and shut them off....he was notorious for that-- (that and c/o no one putting tpaste caps back on-oh the day they invented flip tops!). So a few minutes ago it dawned on me---maybe if it is possible he was saying quit cleaning, turn off the lights and go to bed.....wouldn't that be nice? Not a nursing story--no but since he died last month, and TODAY is his birthday it is a nice thought to think he is still looking out for us....who knows? Won't hurt to think that....right?

One night this nurse friend called and told me she would never sleep in her bedroom again because she had awakened to see this black cloud like mist hanging over her bed that scared her half to death. her family laughed. The next night she called to tell me her husband had been killed in an auto crash less than 1000 feet from there home. Of course he had been in the bed with her when she saw the black mist.
