1.Did a rotation in a burn unit.
There are tons of stories that go around, but Ill share my favorite.
They both were being treated in the same ICU but on opposite ends.

Get the god damn bitch out of my room!
2.Ive worked in a small family run nursing home for 6 years as a nurse aide.
Its not gossip, the owner herself has told us.
When residents get close to death they always see a little girl.
He died 3 days later.
He died that night.
Shes come up over the years its always the same thing they see her and then they die.
Other coworkers have had the same experience.
3.A ward I worked on once had a patient who was a psychic/medium as a patient.
We went to check and sure enough found that the gentleman had died.
4.Im a psychiatric nurse; early in my career, I worked at a residential mental health facility.
There was a resident Ill call Marion Duchene.
Hed been raised in the Deep South and joined the military when he was nineteen.
After boot camp, he was stationed somewhere in the south.
One night, he just vanished.
It was declared an AWOL for years, and finally he was declared missing and dead.
Those were the last words he ever spoke.
His social security number had not been used and he had no identification on his person.
However, they were able to identify him, I guess via fingerprints.
He was well-fed and in good health, except for his refusal to speak.
Marion paced all day every day.
Not in a frantic way, but just lumbering up and down the halls and outside.
If told to go to the dining room for a meal, hed go and eat.
But if nobody told him, he just kept pacing, never indicating hunger.
But he never seemed to crave smoking.
The man wanted nothing.
There was nothing to do for this man.
Various medications were tried, but they did not affect him either positively or negatively.
Later I wondered if all along Id been dealing with a ghost.
All these years later, I still dont know.
5.Oh I have so many I dont know where to start.
I almost pissed myself.
It stopped after about two weeks.
6.I worked as a Medtech at an assisted living facility.
We brushed the resident off knowing that Margarets room was empty.
About an hour later Margarets pendant started going off from her empty apartment.
Suddenly the bathroom door slammed as I was turning off the pendant light.
I locked the door and ran back to the nurses station.
I had actually gone to her about 10 years prior and she was eerily accurate.
While caring for her for a few days I walk into her room and she is unresponsive.
She had been very lethargic all day but now she was out.
Her daughter is at the bedside and is trying to wake her up.
I sternal rub her and inflict pain with no response and a very thready pulse.
I call a rapid response.
This woman then wakes up randomly and was full of energy within a 30 second span.
She told me she was dead and watching me in the room the whole time.
Knew exactly what happened.
She said God told her it wasnt her time and sent her back.
She went home a couple days later and she is still doing card readings.
Shes in her late 80s now.
She has been seen by both staff and patients.
Haunts may not be the correct term, but she has been witnessed by several.
I used to work at the old Walter Reed Army Medical Center.
There was also a room for the First Lady and President.
This ward is private, locked at all entrances and very nice.
9.Worked in a nursing home/long term facility for multiple years.
These were by no means commonplace.
I worked three twelves normally but would pick up overtime and picked up a night shift.
I walked through the automatic double doors and saw a kid skipping down the hall.
I called out to him as I was afraid a little kid had snuck out of a patient room.
As soon as I called out to him he turned and in the blink of an eye totally vanished.
A lot of other nurses and docs had seen the same little kid skipping in that same hallway.
Of course I chalked it up to just exhaustion and didnt really think about it much after that.
But you are damn sure I didnt use that hallway at night ever again.
I think that I have never cried that much in my life.
It gave me the creeps.
13.One of the rooms we have is obviously having something of a haunting.
We just thought it was some sort of delirium.
Multiple others have seen him, too.
His daughter was with him and told me that Lulu was his wife who died 20 years earlier.
A few minutes later he went into cardiac arrest and passed on.
It was an old building which had been housing psychiatric patients since the mid 1920s.
Afterwards the nurse pulls me aside and tells me that the baby crying thing is not a psychotic symptom.
She is very serious about this, but wont elaborate.
Around 3 months in my stay I sit in the nurses station and three nurses behind me are talking.
One of them says, She is very active today and the other says, Really?
Oh, hadnt noticed.
I turn around and ask them who they are talking about.
They look at each other, and then one of them hesitantly says, Well.
There is a baby here.
I of course says no, but they just kind of shrug and smile.
Not 30 seconds later I hear it it sounded far away but not to far.
I am perplexed and look at the nurses.
They look at me like told you so.
Since then I heard it maybe 2-3 times a week.
I was transferred and havent heard it since.
I think about it sometimes, but I dont really know what to make of it.
She told me that people would always talk about how the burn unit was apparently haunted.
One night, my mom asked the girl if she ever got scared at night.
The little girl responded, No.
I always feel someone is looking over my shoulder when Im on the computer so this freaked me out.
18.One day a patient had to go to the X-ray which he was taken to in a wheelchair.
As we stepped in we saw that the room was empty and the windows were closed.
Even the bed was missing in which the patient did not go to the X-ray.
We both told a fully examined nurse and even she had no idea where the bed went.
At the end we had to fill the room with another bed.
Im still a nursing student but this was the most paranormal thing I witnessed so far.
19.Im a Labor and Delivery/Nursery nurse.
One night no one was even in the same room as the button and the lullaby started playing.
It did that twice then we unplugged the entire thing.
It still went off once more that night, and again a few days later despite being entirely disconnected.
That was a few years ago and no one ever heard it do that before or since.
20.I am a medical student.
I turn around and there is no one else in the room.
Mind you, my patient was intubated and sedated so theres no possible way it was them.
It was a womans voice as well so I thought it was my preceptor.
She told me no and and Ive never seen someones eyes get so big.
22.I know somebody who is a nurse.
23.My mom works in a hospital.
It used to be the pediatrics floor.
It has been caught on video.
26.My mom used to work in home care, not exactly a nurse.
One day she was at a mans house feeding him his supper.
She cleaned up, made sure the man was set up and said goodbye before leaving.
He seemed perfectly normal to her.
As she walked down the front driveway to her car she got a weird feeling.
She kept walking until a random huge gust of wind stopped her in her tracks.
She tells me she heard someone telling her to go back.
She turned back and went inside to find that the man had passed.
If she had left he probably wouldnt have been found for a couple of days.
27.We had a little boy come by ambulance and he was a toddler.
His parents had put him to bed and he was with a cold.
Nothing serious but developed tragically into more and he started coming in and out of consciousness.
We had to do a rapid intubation and he ended up passing away a few days later.
Before Mom and Dad made it to the hospital, he kept talking about his baby sister Hannah.
Not soon after we had to life saving measures.
I was distraught because I had a son similar in age and a daughter named Hannah.
Approximately two years later, family comes in with sick infant.
They remembered me (I did once I recalled their story) and I was their provider again.
Their daughters name was Hanna.
Nope, she wasnt even conceived yet.
Baby, thankfully, went home with parents and doing well but Ill never forget that.
Little boy and his baby sister, Hanna.
Was very freaky and we had to change the convo as we all felt too uncomfortable after that!
We had a very robust, confused old lady on our floor.
She was always fighting, kicking, trying to get out of bed.
Very restless and agitated, as some patients Ive had before can get before death.
It was 30…20…then flat lined.
We checked for a pulse and did not find any.
She was a DNR so we did not attempt resuscitation.
Less than 10 minuets later she calls us back in.
The old lady is at it again, hitting, kicking, trying to get out of the bed.
She came back to life!
I think she made it out of the hospital, too.
