Workplace Sayings

[Davey Do]

We have a saying where I work that goes "There's a right way, and then there's the _______ ________ Medical Center's way!".

When a coworker complains of the way something is done, then makes and appropriate suggestion, I reply with, "Stop making sense!"

Rooty Payne, my work brother in arms, has a couple:

"It's only (8 or 12) hours."

"I don't run the train, I only shovel the coal."

Got any?

They (management) treat us like mushrooms, they keep us in the dark and feed us ****.

FLK, funny looking kid, when something just ain't right with a little one.

The first quote is one my dad always says and the second is one my mom (a retired early intervention teacher) always said! Are we long lost siblings?

Not my circus, not my monkeys.

And the #1 Workplace Saying is:

Not my circus, not my monkeys!

Not my circus, not my monkeys.

Not my circus. Not my monkeys. My monkeys fly.

I usually say it when things start to get to "over-drive" mode. ..."Coffee? Tea? Oxygen?":geek:

"...Just like in the big medical centers."~Dr. UR Funny and Thx

They can only torture us for so long and they have to let us go home

[Have Nurse, ADN, RN]

Don't ask me. I'm plankton on the food chain.

Omigosh! That is hilarious!! (Can't stop laughing...I love it!)

[Have Nurse, ADN, RN]

You guys are all so funny. I had a rough day today and reading all of these sayings lifted my spirit. Wish we could all have coffee!!

We tend to get reports that are either way too short or way too long. So my co-worker friends and I started calling the good reports "Goldilocks" reports cause they are not too short and not too long, they are just right.

When I came to work one day, there was a huge poster on the wall in the charting area, "By putting others first, I ___________________." There have many-a-time one can go 8 hours and longer without a bathroom break. My first thought was-- By putting others first, I developed a larger bladder."

I put a little sign on the wall in the nurses station and somebody took it down!

You and me both. Before I became a nurse, my bladder was very small and I couldn't go more than two hours without having to pee. Now the thing's the size of a Winnebago's gas tank and I can hold three glasses of ice tea and a cup of coffee all day.
