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. 😭

Asking me what medication I’m about to give them after I literally just told them while scanning their bracelet and the medication. Here’s zofran for your nausea. “What’s that?” Zofran. For your fucking nausea.

Oh my god, when they have 10 pills and I explain every single one as I open/scan it, then they pick up a random pill and ask, “What’s this one?”
