My story for you from the ICU.

A man came into the ED/ICU the other day with an allergic reaction to a bee sting.
He could not breath. He was given Benedryl and Pepcid. So he got better.

I chatted with him. He told me of his past bee sting experiences.
I told him and his wife to "bee-careful" next time.
We all laughed. Laughter helps with healing.

I have a great staff to work with. The veteran RN nurses in the ICU like me because I helped them lift, turn and clean the patients. That is my work out when I am not at the gym.

Good for you!
I hurt my back a couple of times in the ICU! I left the job 18 months ago and I am now in a B.S.N Program! I don't think I will go back to the hospital until I have my BSN! It is a hard work and I don't wanna to do it again!
The female nurses liked me too and I was just too comedian and everybody was laughing at my jokes!
