What you didn't expect to hear at 7AM coming into work today....
At the start of each shift, the new nurses coming on get a quick brief about the patients on the unit from the nurses coming off. For patients who try to get out of bed, are combative or a host of other issues, we put their beds in the hall for better visibility from the nurses station -- a bed in the hall now saves a lawsuit later, right?
At the morning meeting, the night charge nurse said, "Oh yeah, and the old guy in the hall? Don't walk too close. He's a boob grabber. And after he grabs you, he'll start playing with himself."
The best part of this story -- and you didn't think it could get better -- was actually somehow being in the hall at the same time when he "caught" one of the older nurses who bent over him to fix his gown. I admit I was not much help to her as I was laughing too hard.
Holy crap, I love my job.
