Nurses' horror stories
1."I was looking after a child who had been putting push pins into a nerf gun and using it to pop balloons. I guess one of the pins got stuck so he turned it round to look down the barrel and ... Yeah. Pin in the eye."
2. "This older guy pretty much posed like Kate Winslet in Titanic when he heard I was giving him a bed bath. Door open, privacy curtain open, hospital gown open, everything."
3. "My maternity professor HATED me so I didn't see a single birth that entire rotation ... but I did 'get' to assist on seven, that's right, seven [infant] circumcisions! When you spend five weeks just watching tiny penises getting clipped and holding screaming infants, it really takes the wind out of your sails. The highlight of that rotation was when one of my male classmates came in to watch and fainted, just went out cold. I had to think fast and secure the baby and somehow catch my classmate before he smashed his skull on one of the bassinets. Good times."
