Ever wonder what the world of nursing can really be like? It can be a great career or a horrible nightmare. For those who are looking for a fuzzy and cuddly view of nursing, this is NOT it. It may include some of my more humbling and heartwarming moments, but not always. All of this is opinion only, and of course, the details/names will be appropriately changed to preserve privacy. Enjoy or don't. Have a fun day!

Snotty-Crotch-Rag-Lady
I was assisting this little old lady to the bedside commode, and when she sat down, she asked for some tissue with which to blow her nose. I held out the toilet paper roll to her, and she tore off a huge handful of tissue (like a miniature pillow.) She then proceeded to blow her nose for what I think is the longest nose-blowing time in history. When done, she had a nasty big gobbet of gooey goodness smeared all over the tissue. And then, without further ado, she reached that tissue down and wiped her crotch from back to front a few times with it! AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!! That goes right up there with some of the most gross things I've ever seen.
