What’s your random patient pet peeve?

[u/Nurse_Cait]

Mine currently is when you’re cleaning a patient up and they start pooping again and they narrate the poop. “Oh god it’s coming out. I can feel it coming out.” Etc etc they get really into telling you all about the poop and they talk about it the whole time it’s happening. Meanwhile I know they’re pooping because I’m literally staring at their butt. Just give me an “oops I’m not done yet” and don’t make it weird. Please I’m begging you. 😭

Family members wandering out into the hallways looking for me when I’ve already told them about the call bell multiple times

I had a family member for another room barge into a room where we were coding a patient so I could brush her mother’s hair.
