I’m not even a nurse, and I listened to you tell this story all the way to the end , because you’re such a great storyteller. I love happy ending stories. And awesome move to document everything what happened to cover your back .
As a teacher I learned my lesson using my personal number. Even in emergencies it’s the work number every time bc some of these ppl have no idea of what’s appropriate and they will take your due diligence and care the wrong way.
I work psych and EP patients will ask doctors if they can come off Unit restrictions so they can go to the gym or cafeteria in our facility. The doctors, without asking nurses or techs, will say "oh, sure! I don't see why not!" Then nurses have to tell them "because they threw a weight at the gym window yesterday in an attempt to elope ". Smh, they don't use those advanced degree brains sometimes.
I've been a nurse for 20ys started at trauma hospital work 5 yrs. I will never go back to work at a hospital, learned my skills and got the hell on my way. #nurseseattheiryoungespeciallyathospitals😊
You always have the best stories🤣🤣😂 Lol and sheesh the way my heart DROPPED when I had my first patient go missing😭 awful feeling! Loll, thankfully like your guy, mine showed up right before end of shift as well
@@KendraRN wheww I’m actually doing pretty good, just hanging in there freshly off of orientation in the ICU😵💫😅 LOL and yes, these patients be testing us for real sometimes, can’t wait to hear the next story🤣
That is wild! I had a lung cancer patient, on 5L of O2 continuously, demand to go outside. Once he received the okay from his doctor to go outside with me as his escort, my boy proceeded to have himself a cigarette. While attached to the freaking oxygen. Good times at the VA medical center
My uncle was exactly like this! He was even on hospice for like two years. We were called to his “death bed” about three times. It was like a week after the second time we were called to say our goodbyes and I was down town for fiestas. And there he was…on his motorcycle, oxygen, nicotine patch on one arm, and morphine patch on the other arm!!! It was when he was finally ready to stop smoking 😂 me and my bf still laugh about that day. He was a real OG and even was a tough guy till the end.
Well, my patient was on O2, meanwhile he continued to smoke in his room, after millions of warnings. Well, he finally managed to set himself on fire, and got himself kicked out of the nursing home. Staff were so happy.
😂😂 what a great story Kendra!!! I got a good laugh. Great way to explain how important documentation is too! I can’t help to think about the look on the residents face when he heard the patient didn’t came back 😅
Kendra, you one amazing nurse!!! I love your educational, advices videos! I wish you can be cloned and I would love to work beside you! You are an inspiration and I just love you! Thank you for everything you teach me whenever I watch your videos! May God bless you!❤
As a fellow nurse i am just wondering whether you charted anything about not calling the code red. The anxiety/anticipation of waiting 🫣. Very nicely told story.
Dude was doing an awesome job of staff splitting and then to make an assumption about you? Read the room buddy, you are waaayyyyy off base. I love how you handle yourself, face it, you rock!
I check my patients b4 report 2 introduce myself & inform them that I will b back 2 listen & look @ them & go thru their plan of care. That way, they don't start hounding me with questions. U got me over here crying with this story. 😂😂😂😂😂 Kendra aka Nurse Eboni.
Kendra there are some patients that like to manipulate nurses. One time my patient went missing which I didn’t even know. He requested to go and check his car at the parking lot and I told him I can’t release him for safety reasons. We looked for the patient but nowhere to be found. Then ER called our unit that my patient was checking in again with them and was drunk. He had to be readmitted again and came back to our unit. The pt sneaked out of the hospital and went to his car. He told us he went to drink a bottle of vodka😂😂
KENDRA! I’m a new subscriber and I have some stories for you girl but I’m just gonna give you one. So last week how about my patients visiting best friend OD on fentanyl in the bathroom. The pt ran to the desk screaming for help. Just a hot a$$ mess! I said a prayer for her they revived her with cpr and admitted her to the Ed . When I tell you the crap was soo ghetto ! I thought it was my pt that OD bc her and the friend looked alike . And half the hospital came to the rapid.
Never underestimate the power of someone who has their mind made up to do the unexpected. Call a Code Grey. WOW. I'm surprised that the hospital did not require that he be discharged AMA and readmitted. Are personal phones allowed on the hospital units? What was so important that he had to leave the hospital campus (hanging out with the boys). I would have refused to take care of him since he thought that he knew more than I did. The resident would have been in a lot of trouble as he would have written a formal order on the chart for me to assist the patient to leave the unit without an escort. I always tell my patients, it is easier for me to lower a high blood glucose versus to raise a low glucose for someone an insulin drop. Everyone was lucky that nothing serious happened.
@@ArnitaBranchthe issue of cellphones on the unit will forever be a fight. Nursing is not like it used to be, I’ve never seen a pt d/c and readmitted because they left. I also think the population we serve can be challenging. The insulin drip def made this situation dangerous. God was with him and me. Never again.
Kendra Oh My Word! Where are you practicing Nursing currently? 1. Verbal Permission! More so, to go outside and without a staff member?? 2. Incident Report ✅. Very Good 3. Was your shift manager notified? Well of course, who signed the Incident Report. Well maybe it’s in the system. 3. Didn’t he go to the emergency room to be checked and searched. He went missing for three hours. NEVER use your personal phone to call patients. What if he went to use …? You know what I mean!! What if he brought back substances into the facility. My Dear, this place sounds like NOT a SAFE PLACE to be practicing NURSING. Be safe!
Pure madness. The thing is that unit is so crazy, no one has time to even think. Nurses were constantly putting out fires. Honestly, this situation is common play here in Baltimore. It’s changed a little, only because patients are sicker and can’t necessarily leave the unit.
Love your channel and content. As a Med Student and future resident if a pt ever asks me if they can leave the unit/facility/etc I will always ask they defer to their nurse. Resident or attending is not the one there to deal with the implications. Surely resident knew or could have reviewed pts hourly orders and should have known this was a bad idea and asking for trouble.
That was so great. Thanks for the laughs. I had a patient in Hollywood leave the floor to go to an AMPM lol. So stressful. Your man left w an insulin drip! That's another level. Those darn residents lol.
Nawwww….. That resident caused wayyy too much work for you! No way!!!!! I would’ve been dead set against it! That’s wayyyyy too much work that the resident allowed to occur. I will not allow someone else who doesn’t understand the dangers cause me more work…..too much!
@@KendraRN I definitely understand your point of “Not having any fight left….” I have also worked on those types of floors 🤮 In watching your channel I along with working bedside (ER) am inspired to take on another program. It’s definitely has to be a better way to this game.
This sound like some B-more mess!😂 and these new doctors wanna be cool with their patients so bad that they throw their medical judgement out the window!!
I like the part where you got busy and mentioned to us how "we do not leave dirty patients for the next shift".. .Im not a nurse but I was nodding yup 😅

I'm smiling all the way listening to the "Ebony" story. That was fun lol. The young man thought you had feelings for him🤣🤣🤣🤣.
He sure did!!! Lol, he was something else. He had charisma, I must admit. You heard how he finessed the doctor.
Definitely, he was a smooth
operator 🎶 😂

Very true. It was super impulsive of me.
I LOVE your hair pulled back!🤩❤️👌🏽
Thank you so much. I’m trying to be kinder to my natural hair, lol. Have a good week!
Kendra I love when you do these sit down cause honey I feel like I can really see every thing your talking about love it.
😂😂😂 got to love nursing!! haha! You are amazing Kendra!
I just love listening to your stories 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
Your story line always get me hooked. Well said. Could inject some stuff in the IV without the nurse knowledge.
Hey Jules!!! That happens quite often. Talk to you soon
The way I hollered 😂🤣 at naw Ebony! I love when you tell stories and do sit downs, I always learn something and entertained at the same time! 💖
Thank you so much for watching 🤣

OMG!!! I drive by the Veterans Home, and sure enough, there they are, puffing away it's enhh I'm gonna go some time I might as well enjoy while I can.
This story is hilarious! I love listening to these experiences from you
Being a CNA for 5 years increased my nursing intuition. The things you will experience with patients.
Kendra why are these guys all the same across the globe 😂 thats exactly how they speak in london! You look so pretty as always 💜
Really??? Lol, I can’t wait to visit London. Thank you so much ❤️
Hey Kendra, this exact story was when I was diagnosed with Diabetes type 2 it’s a similar way
Hey Solange, how are you managing your diabetes? I hope you are well.
@@KendraRN it’s coming along still learning dieting and controlling what I eat. It’s hard though I’m not going to lie.
😂😂 what a great story Kendra!!! I got a good laugh. Great way to explain how important documentation is too! I can’t help to think about the look on the residents face when he heard the patient didn’t came back 😅
He didn’t call back, he let the oncoming/covering MD call back.
You are such a great story teller! ❤
I appreciate that. Thank you.
This had me laughing so hard😂😂😂. I already knew where you were going when u started. Good documentation is key!
Chilleeeee that man said he had to go do some thangs!!! Lol
Not him texting you back like that😭😭😭 love your story times, so funny and informative too!😊
Never again will I use my cellphone. It was so impulsive
I loved this story time, Kendra. ❤

😂😂😂😂 "nah Ebony, i see you"🤣🤣🤣
Yes ma’am! He really thought I was calling him for other reasons.
You're Such A Beautiful Nurse!! Inside and Outside
Lisa, you are too kind to me ❤️ Thank you
Great story Kendra!! Glad there was a happy ending.
I wish I could say I was surprised, but no. These patients are too much 😂
Too much! Lol
He had the whole damn IV pole in the car!! People are a hot mess 😂
Sure did. All I could do was shake my head.
I check my patients b4 report 2 introduce myself & inform them that I will b back 2 listen & look @ them & go thru their plan of care. That way, they don't start hounding me with questions.

Thanks for sharing. It has happened to me as well. As nurses we have many scared and funny stories. 😊
So many! Have a good weekend Dee!
If I didn’t have an order, I would’ve gave him an AMA form FIRST!!
“nah Ebony” is crazy 😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣 he was too funny!!!
Hey Kendra, I always learn from your videos . Thank you for sharing. Keep educating us newbies
Hello there! Thank you watching❤️
Omg! Patient left hospital grounds?! Do hospitals even have protocols or policy about that?!! 🤣. I haven't worked in a hospital in years!!

Hey Dahlia! How are you? Yes, I don’t always trust them because they forget or they can say, “I never said that”. 🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️
@@KendraRNI suppose that means until a verbal order is confirmed with a written order, it's a "hold on"
I didn't get a notification.😢
People are so crafty. Best not to assume your nurse is silly though because we have seen....some things.
Very much so, the next story will have you all on the floor.
He probably went out to get high. IV access! Came back in a good mood.
No!!! He wasn’t a drug user.
🤣🤣🤣 Since you work in Psych, I'd like to know your thoughts on the Natalia Grace story. HTF does a child get placed in an adult Psych facility?!?
