was a senior in highschool. I went to school half a day and then worked at the hospital as a nurses aid.
I was feeling so chipper that day at work. I had on a brand uniform.
It was a pink dress. I had a brand new pair of white hose and a brand
new pair of white nursing shoes on. I felt good. I felt crisp and
clean.
I was just going around thanking God for my comfortable shoes and nice uniform. I just felt all that.
As I began to make my rounds, I went into an elderly man's room. He
was supposed to be restrained so he would not get out of bed.
I stood at the end of the bed and asked my patient how he was doing. I
went to move and my foot went into something very slick. The next
thing I knew, I was on the floor and this stuff was on my leg. I looked
down to find that my patient had moved his bed over, done the bad job
and then moved his bed back over the bad job.
I got up to find that my new shoe was covered. My hose were messed up
to the knees and there was this horrible aroma. Needless to say, I had a
prideful fall and I got to wear scrubs the rest of the day.
