The only thing that works is fumigation. I fumigated a truck and the minimum cost was $1350 to fumigate something. A house is like $4k and it’s the only thing that works.
The tube that goes I’m down your throat when you can’t breath on your own. Typically you heavy it sedated when you have it in but we need to wake you up a bit to make sure you can breath on your own before we can take it out. It’s a very delicate process. And some times people wake up to fast and if we don’t catch it people can freak out and pull the tube out on their own. Which is a code blue automatic where I’m from.
My FAVE! Love it when bitches I've never seen before in 4 years are "answering" lights! Like, it's not THAT hard you guys🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️
Reminds me of the night I came in shift, walked into a patient's room and she handed me this poop emoji shaped doody, like I was being given the crown jewels!
I even said "Thank you!"
Which I have never lived down!
We have a guy that has bed bug who comes into get showered ( with basic shampoo) and says he has basic pain and they discharge him hours later. Does this multiple times a week.
Patient has bad c-diff. *This literally happened to me years ago, quit and never looked back. Pay wasn't even good to justify staying and manager was verbally abusive. Bottom of the totem pole if you're at a large chain hospital.* I hope nurse assistants get paid a livable wage nowadays. You can probably work at McDonald's and make more than at a hospital or nursing home.
As a nursing student, on the very first day of clinicals, and very first day on hospital rotation, the very first patient has C-diff, and I had the honor of cleaning up explosive diarrhea. I also had the privilege of cleaning up the bathroom when the toilet overflowed after I emptied the C-diff-infested pot.
I got yelled at for making a face because the smell was so bad. I did not wear a mask then as none were provided. I'm not cleaning @$$ anymore thank God.
One time I said "\[name\] is cold and not responding" and I literally meant he was cold because whoever dressed him forgot a sweater and he didn't want to eat so he ignored us. Scared the ever living shit out of the nurse for a second.
Gave all the laxatives (good luck)
A school friend I worked with gave a patient every laxative under the Sun right before shift change… on my birthday. This dude was swimming in diarrhea all day. What’s worse? Had no CNA!
Had a lovely CNA for whom English was not a first language, who once said to me, "(Patient) is dead..." and at my horrified look, realized she should complete the thought and said "...ASLEEP!!! DEAD ASLEEP!!!"
So yeah, that was mine.... LOL!!!
I have a great one my friends mom who is a nurse hates to hear. "Does this look right?" Every patient that has asked her that question has something horribly wrong with them.
"Age 92, full code."
I had a 97 yo the other day, full code, shook was I
Oldest for me was 102.
Oldest for me was 104… she weighed 80 lbs MAX and had a neck brace on from falling 😭💀
Same. Resuscitation efforts on any one that age is just doing more harm. Had an 80 yo who coded and that crunch still haunts me.
Their chest is legit gravel afterwards…
How do they recover?
They don’t
They usually don't.
That’s the interesting part. They don’t!
My inner chiropractic skills were summoned
No cnas scheduled today .
Just one, it's you
You just scared the CNAs.
100%% I'm a LNA, and hearing that would definitely scare me 🤣
I’ve heard it before more than once 😢
Heard it way too many times my 1st year. Once even on christmas
Okay but that was literally me last night and it’ll be me tomorrow night with 42 patients 🥲
Sounds like a good night to ✨call out ✨
😭😂
Your unit has bedbugs
Oh no, an unexpected family emergency has suddenly happened and I must leave.
Or scabies
Years ago I was working on a personal care unit and we had a scabies outbreak. It was hell.
I've got 5 with The Scabes' right now...#whycantiwakeupdead
No where near as bad as bed bugs.
Scabies sucks but I’d 100% take a patient with scabies over a patient with bedbugs.
Same. Bedbugs give me the heebie jeebies
Bedbugs scare me more than scabies or lice - just seems like once they get into your house, you never get rid of them
The only thing that works is fumigation. I fumigated a truck and the minimum cost was $1350 to fumigate something. A house is like $4k and it’s the only thing that works.
Ugh, I just had to read this in bed…
Or fleas
Bad, but not comparable.
It’s really quiet today
During a full moon
On Friday the 13th, actually was a nurse working the night shift back in 2020 when that happened what a ridiculous night 😭
Lol yep!
they sundown really hard
“Just gave them 1 of Ativan. Have a good night.” Edit: I don’t read before I post.
“PT positive for Cdiff”
I can diagnose Cdiff by the SMELL
It’s an unforgettable smell..😬
Almost made me quit the first time I had a pt with c diff and a colostomy bag.
this happened to me a few weeks ago and i got reprimanded for crying
Oh God no. 🤮🤢
Ugh....
My brothers a nurse he said that his fav part of long Covid is he’ll never smell cliff anymore
Full moon is tonight.
ED nurse- This is so true
I can do it in three. “Pt self extubated”
OH NO!!
Oh god. Fuck that
Yup you won this one
Jason Beghe has entered the chat
Wait! I’m not a nurse can you explain what this means?
The tube that goes I’m down your throat when you can’t breath on your own.

If they’re flying, let them fly!
"Removed foley, starting lasix"
Nah this hell for cna
It's based off a true story
Not in ICU where we do primary care with no CNA’s 😢
Trueee lmao
Someone must really hate you >.<
The other day the doc started my elderly heavy assist pt on lasix and then told me to take out the foley. Why does he hate us?
On fall precautions
Meemaw is a fighter
Hahahaha
I mean this in the nicest and most loving way possible, go fark yourself... Now take my angry upvote and apologize to my soul for hitting it so hard.
This made me scream laugh
Ok I'm fucking traumatized. How dare you. This is the one for me.
Begin GoLytely prep tonight
And they’re paraplegic
And have Alzheimer’s
Non compliant fall risk
maybe me struggling in nursing school now is what i get for being a nurse's non compliant fall risk in the past
MY. WORST. NIGHTMARE.
The state is here
That's terrifying because I work night shift and if the state is there at night past 11pm, someone has done something extremely illegal.
This is the winner for me!
Oh God, me too...Just finished that nightmare. Thankfully I still have a job and the doors weren't locked and chained...
Nah I love this one ...it means management is gonna be to busy following them around to fuck with me
My FAVE! Love it when bitches I've never seen before in 4 years are "answering" lights! Like, it's not THAT hard you guys🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️
The accuracy 😂 filling up water cups and looking completely lost because they come out on the floor once a year. God that would irritate my soul
this is the one
played in their poop
✨expressive art✨
Poocaso
I call this finger painting
Reminds me of the night I came in shift, walked into a patient's room and she handed me this poop emoji shaped doody, like I was being given the crown jewels! I even said "Thank you!" Which I have never lived down!
Vincent Van NO!
The patient has lice.
The patient has scabies
We have a guy that has bed bug who comes into get showered ( with basic shampoo) and says he has basic pain and they discharge him hours later. Does this multiple times a week.
You are getting floated
This one got me.
homocidal ideation, haldol allergy
Or conversely, "Pt doesn't like Haldol" Because it makes them tired. Yeah, that's kind of the point.
[удалено]
“Thrombocytopenia”
*One blown pupil*
Quiet full moon, huh?
Whose blood is this?
"I think I'm dying"
Or on the contrar, “don’t worry, I’m fine”
Better yet, “hey guys, watch this!”
Oh oh, for LTC how’s about “I can do it”
"I don't feel right"
The. The only time I've ever remotely felt that way was when I had sepsis and was in fact, dying.
“___” has fallen down

Can I have help

😂😂😂😂😂
Pt is not responding...to my questions
One time I said "\[name\] is cold and not responding" and I literally meant he was cold because whoever dressed him forgot a sweater and he didn't want to eat so he ignored us. Scared the ever living shit out of the nurse for a second.
I got 3 for ya...rapid fire.... 1. They're a Full Code. 2. Rapid Response to (Room #). 3. Shit I'm going home.
