   "Am I the Nurse? Oh...I'm not the nurse...I'm housekeeping." :) "Sure...Why not?? I'll go out on a date with you. Even though I'm happily married I just can't get enough of dating all my male patients and you are SUCH a catch!"

5. Sooo tired of patients complaining about foreign nurses' accents....

    SuperPsychdRN replied to crazyaaa's topic in General Nursing

    Wow....an unwashed bottle? Sounds like Jenny was looking for something to gripe about. It's her problem, not yours. Make sure you wash all the bottles next time and give her nothing to complain about. I've found other coworkers who talk that way,...

    SuperPsychdRN replied to cherilee's topic in Psychiatric
