That one time...
That one time a patient made me run my hands under hot water until they were an acceptable temperature
That one time a patient’s family member opened the curtain of a patient’s room we were doing CPR on and said her husband needed more pain medication
That one time a patient came into the ER for a pregnancy test, found out she was pregnant, then demanded an ultrasound. Maybe she misread Emergency Room and thought we were the OB/GYN’s office
That one time a patient asked me if I was shadowing nurses today to see if I wanted to pursue nursing as a career… sir I am 30 years old and have been a nurse for years
That one time I didn’t get an IV the first stick and I was told to go back to nursing school
That one time a patient told me he needed to eat because he was prediabetic. He was not on any medications…
That one time in my first code, I was told to check for a pulse with the doppler and I was checking a for pedal pulse…
