Please tell me some of your funny nursing stories?

I have been a nurse for a long time, ER, dialysis and surgical. Today I had a very rough shift and need to hear your funny stories to revive me. It helps all of us when we feel burned out.

Ya, I hear ya...U need laughter. It keeps u balanced. I have a little
story of what happened the other day. My sister kept passing out
for no apparent reason . At the ER, she would talk and then pass
out, cold! hha I couldn't believe it....So she kept doing this, I got
the nurse, and told her I was worried, could she please check on
my sis. Out cold. The nurse pinched her chest so hard it woke
her up dazed and confused. I was laughing ...cause I had NEVER
seen a nurse do that, just pinch someone really hard and hold it!
It was very comical. So, she was a really good nurse tho!! I'll
always remember her teqnique !!! LOL LOL

Okay, here is one situation I will never forget. Once I was on night duty on a medical floor. At about 2 am it was too quiet and I was alone sitting at the nurses' station when I saw a moving IV stand. I was scared at first but it turned into a big laughter after I saw the patient crawling on the ground. He was apparently taking a few walks out of his room but when he saw a blood back flowed int the IV tubing, he got scared and made himself very low and crawled to move. He seemed to have phobia with the blood. Scary for the patient but I cannot help myself not to laugh.

So that's it!鈾?/div>
