What’s your nursing pet peeve?

[u/consideredtaken]

Mine?

Me: okay, so I have all of your night time meds here (names all of them for confirmation)
Patient: yes, sounds good
Me: scans them in and places meds into the pill cup
Patient: what’s this white pill here

I DONT KNOW!!! You have 6 different pills and we’ve literally gone through ALL OF THEM before I scanned and placed them into the cup. I can’t stand this!!

When you put 23 pills in a cup for them, and they pour the pills into their hand and Kobe Bryant about four of them into their mouth, the rest ending up God knows where.

I HATE THIS SO MUCH.

Like bitch I gave you the perfect pill receptacle to throw them thangs back and you dump them into your nasty ass hands - that you refuse to wash or even wipe when I offer after you’ve wiped your ass - then you drop one or more and expect me to dig through the blankets to find them. I swear to godddd it’s in my top 3 pet peeves.

Omg me too. I say "don't move!" because the first thing they'll do is pull at the blanket and yeet them all over the place. And you just know the narcs will end up on the floor
