  1. Funniest thing a confused pt. has told you...

  2. 3rd shift always leaves on time... I never do

  8. What's your favorite type of patient?

    I was going to say sleeping but that is pretty good Jennie. :chuckle
  9. How many patients are you assigned?

    On a good day I have 6 where I work but most of the time is 8. Personally, I think it's way too much especially on a big post-op day.
  10. I actually did a position paper last year supporting the use of marijuana for medicinal purposes.
  11. 75 Questions on NCLEX, pass or fail?
