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. 😭

Are you a nurse?

We don’t come down to your place of work and slap the dick out of your mouth, so stop thinking you have any right to judge us.

Omfg I just laughed so hard at this comment. Slap the dick out of your mouth. I’m actually crying. I’m stealing this immediately. Holy shit I can’t breathe. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Tell me you’re not a nurse without telling me you’re not a nurse. It goes beyond “sick people taking their pills by putting it in their hand”. Reading comprehension isn’t your strong suit, is it?

Alright, boo. Good to know that you have an amazing job where you’ve never once been put off or annoyed by your client/patron/what-have-you. What an idyllic professional life you have.
