I loved dorm life when I was a college student, so I know that I will think I am back in school, looking for the kegger .....hehehe

The kegger will be down the hall, in my friends room, and I'm posting one of the cats I snuck in as a lookout to warn us when the staff comes.:biere:

I'll be the one who thinks their on a cruise ship and thinks each man in the facility is my husband. I'll start bursting into song and dance at random times and I'll hide under my bed at night and grab the ankles of the nurses and aides when they come in to make rounds on me lol

Amen to that! At this point, all I want to do is eat and watch TV.

Maybe at least the future MDS coordinator would love me

If I'm particularly irritated at one of the nurses, I will holler the "Q" word over and over again instead of hollering "help".

I will be the one yelling at the staff for waking me up. I will also be an escape artist but if they allow me to listen to music I like, I'll be the crazy old lady who is happy and singing all the time.

Um, what's the Q word?

It's "quiet". It's also guaranteed to cause a difficult shift when said on the floor.

OMG we say that too!!If I ever get put into the place that I work they will have to change all the door codes because I will be out of there! I know every inch of that building and after 17 years its sure to have stuck in my long term memory! I will be up all night walking the corridors "checking" on the residents,I will take no BS from any uppity carers or nurses and will have "do not wake at 06.00"and "no I don't want my TV on the cartoon channel"and "shave me and you die!" tattooed on my chest.

At the place I worked, they had the codes on how to shut off the alarms writen next to the alarms. You could also disable them with a switch. There is leg alarms for some of the residents, but it only works with the front door. If I was a resident there, I could slip out the door in some of the rooms, or go through the employee breakroom to get out. (And take one of the staff lunches with me).
