I was a very experienced nurse when I went to burp what appeared to be an empty colostomy... ended up spraying liquid poop up my bare arm and across my chest. I froze, in horror, and just stood there like an idiot. Almost quit that day 🤣

The first time I suctioned a trach and the patient coughed up sputum I screamed because it surprised me. I still think about it 15 years later 😭

Trying to put the warming portion of the tubing for the blood warmer into the machine, couldn’t figure out why it wasn’t fitting, after a solid minute finally realized I was inserting it backwards. Dad (this was in PACU post c-section) just looked at me and went ‘I didn’t want to say anything because you seemed really determined.’

My pants fell down in front of my patient and family. I was wearing the granniest panties that day. She had a beautiful birth later so it cancels out the vulnerability, right?

I had an issue accessing a power port. I had to poke the lady twice. She screamed both times. A year later she was in the ER, I was down there coincidentally. I went in to look at her port because it was leaking in the tissue. She told me, ya I haven’t been here in a while, the nurse who accessed my port a year ago f**ken sucked 😂 yes ma’am, that was me! I laughed so hard, you can’t win them all.

It’s okay my preceptor sent me into a room to do vitals bc it was right at shift change before report & the BP sucked & no one had rechecked it so I walked my happy ass in & announced I was retaking vitals for the very large group of family I did not know was in there prior to entering. The pt had passed. We didn’t know. They all stared at me like I was INSANE.
