@kbfsufan: Younger nurses are going to think I made this up. 😂 If you worked in nursing back in the day, you already know how different things were… but THIS story still makes me shake my head. 🚬🔥🏥 #nurse #nurses #rn #nursetok #throwback
when I started at the hospital in 2003 we still had a smoking solarium attached to the hospital 🏥

Before the AIDS epidemic nurses did not use gloves. Gloves were implemented in the 80’s.

Not proud of this but, I gave birth in 1978 & smoked in my hospital bed! A cigarette in one hand and an IV in the other. Ughhh, it’s so hard to believe this was common practice. 4 women to a room and they were all smokers. 😳

I remember in the ER nurses sticking syringes into the bed after use. Then after you were stable they would collect them all!

1981, as a 20 year old CNA we were told to visit each patient carrying a bottle of lotion, and offer back massages. Even to hairy old men. Yeah. Smoking was everywhere! Hallways, waiting rooms, break rooms, patient rooms. There was no sanitizer, and no one wore gloves. Wash your hands…

I worked with a 85 yr old nurse that did a bed change with no gloves on. Poop n all she didn’t care. I asked her why and she gave me the ‘back in my day speech’. People tried reporting her but old habits die hard so i ignored it honestly (reports went no where) She was a awesome nurse. AND came to work in the hat when it wasnt required anymore. Susan dont play. Loved her

No such thing as HIPAA. Before 1996. People would talk about patients in elevators, medical records much less secure. Hard to imagine life before HIPAA

my dentist fully retired a couple years ago and he was telling me that when he was a kid, they didn't have disposable needles yet so they had to be sterilized and resharpened for other patients 😳
