- Being a nurse at the bedside for the past 13.5 years, I have accumulated so many stories. I'm sharing this one because I still laugh to this day about this patient.
There are just some patients you will never forget and this is one of them.

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 .
Thank you Lakeisha, I appreciate you watching.
❤
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.
Very true. It was super impulsive of me.
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 🎶 😂
😅
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.
Defer to nursing please, we know what’s going on socially, emotionally, etc. Keep up the good work.
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
I believe it!!!! That is the kind of nonsense we deal with.
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.
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.
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 LOVE your hair pulled back!🤩❤️👌🏽
Thank you so much. I’m trying to be kinder to my natural hair, lol. Have a good week!
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 🤣
I just love listening to your stories 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
As a Registered Nurse since the 1980's boy do l have stories to tell whoo .Anyway the way l busted out laughing 😂😂😂
I’m sure you do. A walking storybook, lol
He sounds like he had to get a fix ! lol
He was too much. He had so much conversation for everyone.
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
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.
“nah Ebony” is crazy 😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣 he was too funny!!!
“Naww Ebony” 🤣😂😂😂
I am her, lol
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
Hey Whit! How are you? These patients be doing us dirty sometimes. I have a funnier one next time.
@@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🤣
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 ❤️
😂😂 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.
😂😂😂😂 "nah Ebony, i see you"🤣🤣🤣
Yes ma’am! He really thought I was calling him for other reasons.
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!❤
That means a lot to me. Thank you your kind words❤️
Exactly. Perfectly said. Such an inspiration and eye opener
You are such a great story teller! ❤
I appreciate that. Thank you.
They get on my nerves calling us nicknames! The new one is “baby mama” 😑😑😑
LMAO he crazy 😅😂
Girl that was a gut buster for me!! 😂😂
I have a better one coming soon 🤣🤣🤣
I loved this story time, Kendra. ❤
Thank you for watching ❤️
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
Nah Ebony you wanted to talk to him 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
🙀🙀🙀 lol. He was funny but too young for me, lol.
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!
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.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 dude stood on business
LMAO, He ran an errand and all
I was so over him. I’m thankful he came back and was okay😬😬😬
@@KendraRN He's a freespirit, he takes even situations like your example with a grain of salt. What a way to live!!
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.
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😊
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
These patients are too slick....
😂😂😂 got to love nursing!! haha! You are amazing Kendra!
The way I was glued to this screen/story and HOLLERED at him say Nah Ebony that wasn’t no mistake. 😂💀😂💀😂💀
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.
Hey, yes!!! I am Ebony🤣🤣🤣 He was too much.
That was very informative.
Great story Kendra!! Glad there was a happy ending.
I love your style 💖I want to become nurse one day
This story is actually hilarious 😂
I was so done with him. 🤣🤣🤣
You're Such A Beautiful Nurse!! Inside and Outside
Lisa, you are too kind to me ❤️ Thank you
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.
Uh uh!!! Where’s this??? I need to come work there. One thing about me, I love a good ghetto hospital 🤣🤣🤣🤣
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.
@@KendraRN Thanks for responding. Be Safe My Dear!
please keep doing these type of video's
Omg! Patient left hospital grounds?! Do hospitals even have protocols or policy about that?!! 🤣. I haven't worked in a hospital in years!!
Very vague policies.
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.
@@user-cm4dc2rd2qthe 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.
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!
Yes some of these patients can get so inappropriate.
My favorite nurse Kendra.
☺️☺️☺️ you’re too kind
I love your stories!
Thank you for listening Barbara.
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😂😂
What!? Oh boi! 😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣 he play way too much. 🤣🤣🤣
If I didn’t have an order, I would’ve gave him an AMA form FIRST!!
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.
Hey Kendra, I always learn from your videos . Thank you for sharing. Keep educating us newbies
Hello there! Thank you watching❤️
I wish I could say I was surprised, but no. These patients are too much 😂
Too much! Lol
Your skin is poppinnnnn!!!!
Thank you! I was wearing Too Faced Born this way Foundation in the color Cocoa. It’s so good.
Please tell more stories like this 😂❤
That man had me stressed
Me over waiting to retire from the military so I can hop into the career I really want, nursing!!!
Come on down!!!!
Great video. Lesson learned: document, document and document.
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.
The patient was a talker and super persuasive. He had charisma, I wasn’t surprised that he talked his way to it.
I am lmao. Hollerin😂😂😂😂😂😂
Oh what stories us nurses can tell 😮😂❤
Omg! What we go through in nursing is something unique😂
For sure, lol
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.
The patient sensed his inexperience and finessed him. A whole insulin drip 🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️
Sr. Excuse me you had to do WHAT?!
With IV access…
Kendra not “naw Ebony” 😂
No he did not call you Ebony!! 😂 Love that name though 😊
Me too
I never miss video.
I appreciate you Erica ❤️
Omg 😮😂😂 lawd hammercy
I am dying laughing 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I know you wanted to hurt him for that, then he’s gonna say that wasn’t a mistake, I see you Ebony. 🤣🤣🤣
Nah Ebony....😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
That’s me!!!
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!
Lol, I was overwhelmed by all of the activity that was taking place. I didn’t have any fight left in me. That unit was and still is a mad house.
@@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.
He probably went out to get high. IV access! Came back in a good mood.
No!!! He wasn’t a drug user.
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.
I didn't get a notification.😢
Verbal orders scare me because I feel like they will forget or change their mind...😑
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"
hey..comfotable with your Owen skin. I ma here too..😂😂😂
I have to tell you thank s for shall
most of these day people are so afraid saying it or if they do so out of sense or trying
to very invisible but see everybody " stupid of themself stupid "I don't know
That is so baltimore
Hahahaha you already know!!! Ova East.
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 😅
Patient left
🤣🤣🤣 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?!?
Honestly I’m not familiar but now you’ve peaked my interest. Is this a documentary? I’m going to look it up now.
Hi Kendra
Hello there
Lol
Still considering beauty/esthetician school?
I am but I don’t want to learn how to wax. 😭😭😭
@@KendraRN I don’t want to wax bikini areas or other private areas
@@KendraRN would you do hair skin and nails?
@@kristinealexander3491Same!!!
@@kristinealexander3491Skin for sure, no nails. I’m not creative at all do do nails.
😂😂😂
Hahaha
😹
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 love your stories!
Thank you Michelle.
@@KendraRN you’re welcome! Keep them coming. You are such an inspiration on so many levels. ❤️
