As every morning I get up at 5:00 a.m., take my shower, eat breakfast, and then get dressed. This particular morning I opted for the white nursing uniform, with a white laced bra, and a matching thong, with garter belt, and white stockings to go with the lovely newly shined nursing shoes. As always I am out of the house at 6 to make it to work by 7. Because I am a float I never know what floor I am going to work on at the local hospital. So as usual I drove around the parking lot a couple of times to finally find a parking space, and got myself prepared for the day. I reached the head of nursing department, and my assignment was awaiting my arrival. Cool the orthopedic floor, I love all the other LNAs and RNs that work there; so I headed to the café to grab my morning dose of caffeine and headed to the floor not wanting to miss report.
I had worked this floor a few days before so I was eager to see what patients had gone home, and who was still there. I got my list, listened to report, and then found the night LNA whose list I was taking over, asking her if there is anything else I should know. As I was walking the hallway I noticed the man they brought in as I was going home, he had just come back from surgery, but just the same I thought he was attractive. I was so delighted inside that he was actually one of my patients for the day. I decided to take a look at the charts before beginning the care of each patient, when I got to his I was amazed that his parents were the emergency contact and not his wife, but I shrugged it off and continued reading.
After a busy morning I had gotten all my patients fed, bathed, and ready for the day, that is all but this one very attractive man that I was saving for last… I took my break, and upon returning to the floor the head nurse came over to me stating that the patient in room 516 would like to be bathed, I told the nurse thank you, as I tried to hold my emotions inside, that patient in room 516 was him. I collected myself and gathered all the things I needed, since he was in traction, and couldn’t get out of bed, I decided to also wash his hair. I knocked on the door, asked if I could enter, and sat my collection of towels, washcloths, etc on the chair near the bed, I turned to him and said, Hi, I am Nicola and I will be your Aide for the day, he developed a grin from one ear to the other, and said I know.
