My mom was telling me this little story about her clinical experience. It's about horny old patients that young nurses should STAY AWAY FROM..
Okay, so my mother works in a surgical ward and she has to do the bedside work: giving medicine, IV, drainage, etc.
She ends up taking care of this 69-year-old East Indian patient whom she had to wash that night. She rinses his backside and she asks the old nub to clean his crotch area himself since it's a private thing he should do. The old ass hole says, "You do it". My mom really didn't want to, but it kind of is on the job description...
While she cleaned his torso, the old fart says, "You turn me on". My mother freaks out, but doesn't show it. She didn't say anything and pretended to ignore him. He then starts getting an erection (LOL) and gave this evil smile. My mother, obviously seeing this patient's "aroused state", panics and quickly puts a towel on him to cover his exposed manhood. Persistent, he kept removing the towel to show off his wood. The stupid old n00b then bluntly asks, "Can I touch you?".
Mother is now pissed and annoyed. She states, "What you're doing is completely inappropriate and I will have to report you". So she does. The head nurse tells the old man that he'll have a record and if he continues to abuse the nurses like he did, he will get kicked out of the hospital and no other institutions will take care of him.
Moral of the story, don't take advantage of nurses. They're nice because they have to be. Don't abuse that.
Oh God, I will never work with old people. I've decided to work at the Children's Hospital when I get my BSN. Yep yep.
