ng tube placement horror stories

There was a story about a patient who had an allergic reaction to the material of the NG tube. It was not discovered until after the placement. The patient's nasal area became red, swollen and itchy. Removing the tube was also a challenge as it caused more irritation. In addition, during NG tube placement, sometimes the tube can cause irritation to the esophagus, leading to pain and difficulty swallowing for days after the placement.

There are cases where during NG tube placement, the tube accidentally perforates the esophagus. This is a very serious complication. It can lead to bleeding, infection and requires immediate medical attention. Also, some patients find that the adhesive used to keep the NG tube in place is very irritating to their skin, causing redness and discomfort around the nose area.

One common element is overwork. Nurses are often made to handle more patients than they can manage. For example, having to take care of 10 patients when the standard should be 5. Another is a lack of support from colleagues or superiors. This could be like in the case where new nurses are left to fend for themselves. Also, poor working conditions such as dirty facilities or insufficient supplies are often seen in these horror stories.

Common themes include a lack of transparency. The placement department may not be upfront about the selection process or the real nature of the jobs available. There's also the issue of inefficiency. For example, taking a long time to arrange interviews or placements, causing candidates to miss out on other opportunities. Additionally, there can be a problem with unprofessional behavior, like not following up with candidates after interviews or not providing proper feedback. All these things contribute to the horror stories associated with placement departments.

The darkness is often a very scary element. In a tube, it can be pitch - black and you don't know what's lurking. For example, in many 'tube horror stories', people can't see the threats until it's too late.

I heard about a nursing placement where the new nurse was bullied by some of the senior staff. They would make her do all the dirty and difficult jobs and never offer any help or guidance. She was often left alone to deal with complex patient situations that she wasn't fully trained for yet. It made her question if she wanted to continue in the nursing field.

One horror story could be when the placement department promised a great job placement to a student. The student prepared for months, attended all the training sessions. But at the last moment, the so - called 'great job' turned out to be a low - paying, dead - end job with long hours. The placement department just brushed it off as 'the best they could do' without any real apology or attempt to make it right.

One 'tube horror story' could be about a person exploring an old, abandoned subway tube. They heard strange whispers and saw shadowy figures moving just out of sight. As they walked further, the air grew colder and they felt a sense of dread. Suddenly, a cold hand grabbed their ankle from a dark corner, and they ran for their life.

Perhaps there is a story of a lost spirit wandering in the forest. It was a young girl who died tragically. At night, hikers would see her figure among the trees. She would sometimes call out in a sad voice, making the hikers feel a chill down their spines. The atmosphere in the forest at night became very eerie because of her presence.

There may be an old man or woman who has some knowledge about the supernatural. They are usually the ones who warn the others about the danger. But sometimes, they are also part of the mystery themselves. For instance, they might be hiding a secret related to the horror that is taking place, and as the story unfolds, their true intentions are revealed.
