First 10 min of my shift: Walked by patient who jumped naked out of his stretcher, grab my coworker from behind, humped her, and slapped her ass while yelling “I’ll fuck this fat ass” Ran in to get him off and pull RN out. He slaps my ass and yells “THIS PUSSY BELONGS TO ME”.

In nursing school I was taught how to draw up different insulin’s in the same syringe. We all waste time on something.

Removing a syringe and needle with 2 bags of heroin from someone’s vagina is not how I would like to spend my shift but someone’s got to do it.

Patient with thick secretions and an established trach. Told him we need to do teach care. Told me he could handle it. Took the inner cannula out and put it in his mouth and sucked it clean. #NSFLNursingStories

Had a patient with discharge, redness and swelling on his stoma. Was letting other inmates fuck his stoma for cigarettes.

Props to all the EMS/paramedics. I could never do that. You never know what you're getting into, what the outcomes will be. You guys see the worst of the worst when they're the worst.

1) don’t drive when intoxicated. 2) don’t drive while intoxicated and hit a deer with your pick up truck. Then panic and load the deer into the bed of your truck and drive it to the emergency room. Both 1 and 2 will get you arrested.

For the first time in my medical career, I shouted "Don't you die on me!" in the emergency department. It was at an ultrasound with a low battery warning...

An 8 y/o girl came into my office and announced “I had an apple today!” Me: “oh to keep the doctor away?” Her: “yeah!” Pretty pleased with herself. Me: Well joke’s on you I’m a nurse practitioner. 💁🏻‍♂️

#TipsForNewDocs Rules for any acute specialty 1. If asked to take a coffee break: JDI 2. If senior tells you to go home: say ‘thank you’ and RUN 3. If anyone (especially a nurse) says ‘do you want to call your consultant/attending’ : that’s NOT a question. JFDI

PSA: Residency started nationwide July 1st. THAT MEANS...if you get drunk and hurt yourself, you’re going to be treated by a terrified intern with 3 days of experience. Happy Fourth of July 🙃🇺🇸 #TheMoreYouKnow

I just wiped your butt, lathered you in barrier cream, remade your bed, repositioned you with 7 pillows, and tucked you in like a little blanket burrito, but NOW, OF ALL TIMES, IS WHEN YOU DECIDE YOU WANT TO GO TO THE BATHROOM AND TRY TO MOVE YOUR BOWELS?! 😭🙄😭 #nursingproblems

The reason why there’s a huge increase in women coming forward w/ 15+ yr old stories of being raped or sexually assaulted has a simple explanation. One woman coming forward has a profound effect on other’s feeling brave enough to finally speak their truth

"Everything happens for a reason." Sure, but the reason doesn't have to be a good one, it doesn't have to be one you like, it can still be your fault, and it might not get better. I don't get why people use this phrase to comfort others. #pessimisticthoughts
