Need to kill a few hours?

Here's a thread that might do it:


http://allnurses.com/general-nursing-discussion/whats-your-best-108202.html


It goes on and on and on.....a thread about ghost stories in hospitals and nursing.

I know some of us love our ghost stories.

Thought I would share with you guys, but be forewarned, it can be addictive!

That one had such a surprise ending.

Been reading off and on all day--it's a good respite for gardening breaks.

I had heard about this thread but couldn't find it--and then I checked my subscriptions today and here it was. Thanks Tsiyu.

That crazy long thread has helped me this week - surprisingly - by thinking maybe the ancestors are looking out for us after all.

Spent 8 years in hospitals - mostly graveyard - and can't remember any freaky stuff like that, but then we were mostly exhausted from the patient load.


Glad you're enjoying it.

My mother was a nurse for about 45 years and I don't recall her ever telling any ghost stories. And I just left a job on the information desk at my local hospital and never heard any. Makes me think most nurses simply never tell anyone about these things.

I was there when many a patient was pronounced dead - babies to the elderly.

Had to extubate them and clean the benzoin off their faces before the nurses did their thing.

It was always surreal in a way, but I just remember being so exhausted, I wouldn't have noticed if Satan his own self was perched on a patient's chest.

I like the stories where the nurses say, "Okay, ghost. Cut the sh*t cuz I'm too tired for this funny business."

That would have been me.

often enough because of all the people who passed on in a hospital.
