Let me see what I can tell that won't violate confidentiality. I have been vomited on 3 times in less than 3 mins followed by getting covered with blood. Once I tried to help keep someone from hurting themselves until we could restrain them and they kept spitting on everyone close by, letting go of them was not an option so I tried to hold their head to keep from getting spit in the face and the RN next to me said " you can't do that, it may harm the patient" Then the patient tried to bite her finger off. Stories are not very funny when you can't really get into the details. But this is the tip of the ice berg, Some are just very dark nurses humor, that others may not find funny at all. Use to have Friday night porch night. Wine and nurses telling stories from the week before to unwind. We have all been punched or spit on ,etc. at one time or another, often lots of times. Patients who whipped their butt on the curtains after pooing. the list goes on, with stuff you just can't tell to things that don't come across as funny as much as sad.

Yep been there done that. Had to cocoon wrap a patient once to keep them from hurting themselves and staff. All the while the were head butting anybody that got in their way. Finally got the patient off to the hospital after they kicked the DON in the mouth.( Couldn't fault the patient there, somebody needed to kick that particular DON in the mouth sooner or later) Half an hour later the ENTs called laughing their heads off. They said it was like having to tranquilize an elephant... only the elephant was like 900 years old and weighed 130 pounds. Amazing what dementia can do to a person.

Used to get dinner break after a particularly bloody deliveries when I worked OB Scrub. Used to eat dinner with blood running down my scrubs and onto my shoes discussing the unusual placenta in the last delivery, too busy to change clothes, just gobble a few bites and off to the next blood bath. Not much phases nurses.

And for all that excitement we get paid......not nearly enough.

Not even going to try to catch up with you guys. Geesh. Spend the day away from the house and people go on a gabfest.

yes, you have to eat when and as fast as you could or just not eat. And be able to eat through anything anyone could imagine. LOL
