No grabbing!


Recently, I was helping another nurse reposition a male patient in bed. He was a little bit older and bedridden. As he was rolled on his side facing me, I suddenly felt a hand going up places it shouldn't be going.

I looked at the patient and was like "I don't think so! Sir, you may not grab me. Unacceptable!" The patient just looked up at me and similed a toothless smile.

I was like "You just keep your hands to yourself where I can see them!" Then for the rest of the shift, I had to forewarn him. I would roll into the room and be like "Ok, Mr. we are going to turn you. Now don't you be getting grabby or anything with me." I think he thought it was funny.

That little dude has quite the reputation on the floor now. Apparently, he attempted to or grabbed at every single nurse who took care of him. Just another one of about 1,000 issues not covered in nursing school.

Perv.
