From out in the hallway, I hear this. *AAAAGHGGHHHRRRGHGG!* I had to double take when I went in the room.
Me: Dude! What are you doing?! You know your ankle is broken! Stop shaking your leg! Ortho is here, they're just looking at your xrays and they'll be in here in two minutes to splint it.
Patient: I know, but it just hurts so bad. I'm trying to shake it back into place so it doesn't hurt anymore!
Me: No. Just, no. Don't do that.
Srsly. This happened.

One day I woke up and realized I'm not a baby nurse anymore. I'm not even a young nurse. I'm a real adult who has now been doing this for years, and I'm definitely expected to know what I'm doing at all times. And that's fucking terrifying.

Blogs you should go read now
Good blogs gone dormant. Sadface.
DISCLAIMER
HIPAA. Trust and believe, these stories are halfway made-up and halfway made up of lots of other stories. I will protect patient privacy like it's my job. Because it is.
Many of the photos showing mundane things are ones I took. As for memes and other google picture search images, I've been horribly bad at photo crediting - I will be attempting to go back through and properly credit things or remove them if I can't. But rest assured, ain't no real patient pictures up here, folks.
While I appreciate those reading the blog, I don't advertise for any website. I can only be responsible for my own opinion, and thus politely decline any offer to "host a post" or otherwise advertise something not written by me...But thanks anyway!
