I hate working night shifts there! I hate it even more when I had to go to the locker room so when I do night duties, I just put my bag somewhere in the ward so that I never have to go to the locker room. If I have to, I'll drag a colleague along with me. We don't go to the locker room alone at night. What kind of supernatural experience did you encounter?
Care to elaborate?

My brother got it 4 timesWorse than me :P
Thing is we didn't have any stagnant water in our house. I think it's coz of our neighbours :X
But it's really scary lor, coz he was bleeding non-stop from his nose. Blood was just pouring out like a river. My mum was freaking then
Your brother is really lucky to be alive! I took care of a patient in the ICU, he came in to us comatose and he had disseminated intra-vascular bleeding manifested by small red spots all over his body. He was totally non-responsive to any stimulii. Bloodwork showed elevated hemorrhaging with darn low platelet count! I was preparing him for an Emergency Operation when a doc came and stopped everything - the poor man had Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever and it was too late to do anything for him.
He was pronounced brain dead.His wife couldn't take it because just that morning, they were enjoying breakfast with their two young kids at McD's. Then at about 9:30am, he collapsed, ambulance came at about 9:45am, and by the time he reached my ICU at 10:10am, it was already too late.
They had apparently gone to Thailand for a holiday and he returned home feeling flu-like symptoms for almost an entire week. He finally succumbed to the disease, leaving behind a very stunned wife and two young children who were too young to understand it all. I think the eldest child was only in Primary 2 whilst the younger one was in kindergarten.
I felt sooooo sad for the family and stayed behind to console the wife... and was promptly reprimanded by my senior for 'wasting time' and not 'organising my time properly'!

Worse, I will feel a sudden stillness and then a cold breeze near the nape of my neck!
Sometimes, you feel someone breathing down your neck or by your ear. It's really really creepy!!! That's why we never go alone and our Malays colleagues said we must make a lot of noise before we enter so that we give the spirits ample warning to disappear before we enter the room! -

Yeah for those who don't know the symptoms it's very dangerousActually for the 3rd time I didn't have fever or anything or feel strange
I remember I was sitting in the garden and I happened to glance down on my legs and I noticed some small red dots on my legs. That prompted me to get my mum to see a doctor. I didn't have these red dots before prior but I remembered it was one of the symptoms,
Ya my brother stablised immediately once they gave him a blood transfusion

That is nursing for you. It is the bitchiest job, worse than the politicking and bitchiness I've ever encountered in my seven years in the corporate world.
I used to think, how bad can it be working with nurses because we're all working to save patients' lives. I was too darn naive because it's a female-dominated environment and I tell you, all that estrogen in the workplace is toxic! 
You should see the bullying that occurs in nursing. All of us, even the strongest amongst us, would have broken down and cried a few times. I used to be a very tough nut to crack, but there were occasions when the frustration and anger and injustice of it all got to me.
I think the seniors in my old ward, they remember me because I stood up to them, fought for the juniors and myself, and even had shouting matches with a few of them.

Nah. My senior nurses used to keep chanting that our uniform is a kind of 'fu' against the spirits. We might see / sense them, but they cannot hurt us because (and then she would repeat all over again as if to reassure herself) our uniform is a 'fu'.

Eeee yerh... I remember once I was quickly washing my hands at the sink because everyone was too busy to go with me so I wanted to make it quick. Then suddenly, this black thing flit right above my range of vision and I was soooooo shocked, I jumped back and yelped! Then I quickly ran back to the ward and told my colleagues, shivering a little.

I transferred to this reeeely old hospital here to work and I love the building. It's got a long history so it's one of those old hospitals with looooooong, quiet and dark corridors all over and when I sit at the end of one corridor to write my nursing notes, I keep glancing up to make sure there are no zombies or ghosts like Ju-On making their way towards me!
A few times when I worked nights there, I even sms'd Pinky and av to tell them that I'm so frightened zombies would turn up and they'd bite me and the hospital is so large that on nights, sometimes, the entire ward only has two nurses so if something happened to one of us, the other wouldn't know till it's way too late! I'm so glad they shut down all the main entrances in the hospital for the night! -

The one I saw came out at 3am in the morning at the tarmac, it was extremely fast. At first I thought it was somebody playing prank, I went to investigate, but later sensed something amissed and went off in another direction.
