OK nurses let’s share our most horrific injury and or situation you’ve ever encountered I’ll start- I was a nursing student and this patient came in with a gaping abdominal wound and Fissure. It was a huge hole where her colostomy started a fissure in her abdomen now we’re talking 20 years ago when I was an LPN school OK and the mechanism of injury if you can only imagine horrified me and my classmates I don’t even know if I can say it on here however she was sticking things in it!!!

My most horrific experience was as a student as well. I was precepting a junior behind me per our guidelines of our university school of nursing.  we were getting ready to go into a patient’s room after she had had a hysterectomy, and before we got to the door, we heard a  shot. We immediately ran to the nurses station to let them know what we heard, and when we all were in the hall and security was present we opened the door, and the husband had shot the wife in the head. She was pronounced dead at the scene. As I look back on all the experiences, I have had in nursing over the last 36 years some I would classify as horrific and they still stay with me today. Many I classify as learning experiences that have made me what I am today.

Oh my goodness wow wow wow !!!!!! So sorry you had to deal with that !!!!

I’m in-house at a small company (60 people), started right out of law school about 5 years ago. We had a legal team of 5 then. Everyone has left and we just hired a new GC.

I am expecting an offer from a firm doing business law work but think this might be an opportunity to go to my current employer and ask for a significant raise, with new offer in hand. Any thoughts or advice going into this?
