If you could have one nursing superpower, what would it be?

[Blue Roses]

I had a rough day at work today. There was a patient that started to go bad on me and I ended up calling a rapid response on her and sending her to ICU at another hospital. I found myself wishing I could literally predict the future, particularly my patients' futures, so I can stop things like this from happening.

Here's my totally off-the-wall discussion topic: If you could have one super power, one that you could only use while you're at work, which would it be and why? Just curious. Thanks!

My super power would be the ability to make my patients poop(and without the mess and smell). Because pooping is a big deal

I have the first part of that super power. Not all it's advertised.......

I would magically be able to lift, turn, and move pts from one place to another; holding them up in the air so we can get the clothes off, change the sheets, inspect the spine, move onto the CT scanner, etc. And put them back down gently, of course!

YES! This one for sure!

Or to be able to think my charting into the computer. I think I would like that one even better.

I would like a cloak of invisibility so no one can come up to me with an empty water pitcher, see me not answering the phone, ask me how to get to the cafeteria, or complain about something I forgot to do when I am frantically trying to get my charting done.

THIS! I try to chart but then people give me the stink-eye for ignoring dinging call lights (I could be chasing them all night), and then a random family member comes out of the room and tells me grandpa has to go to the bathroom, and then a visitor asks me about a parking voucher ...

In the mean time just hide in the medroom or stand in a corner with the COW

Well, my doctor friend and I are already Dr. Batman and Nurse Robin. However I think my superpower would be spontaneous cloning. I could send my clones out and we would get the work done in no time!

I want the ability to always know the right therapy and how to do anything, without a learning curve.

I would like to have the ability to take home a paycheck but never go into work.

Never be in a position to fill out an incident report

Stop multitask ing and focus on one thing at a time with out blame.

[serenity1]

My favorites have been the ability to know the lottery numbers or collect a check and not go in to work!! But other than those, I would like the ability to cure "stupid" each shift.....

Just one?

Id like to be able to freeze time so I never get behind or teleport people and things.

Or a magic touch to make patients and family calm and agreeable spontaneously.
