by OnlybyHisgraceRN Jul 15, '12Its 6:35pm, census is 6 patients on a 16 bed icu.... Just as I'm about to give report, the oncoming nurses states how "quite" the unit is. Before the nurse can even finish her statement my patient who was given transfer orders goes into 40 beats of bigeminy pvcs and is symptomatic.
People please, don't say the q word, especially around a new grad rn ICU nurse....

Jul 15, '12 by DazglueI had a co-worker say "quiet" and "code" in the same sentence last night. You can guess what happened in the next 10 minutes! Lol. I'm not superstitious at all but this is the second time this has happened in a month when someone mentioned those words and it happens almost instantly. - anotherone and Been there,done that like this.

Jul 15, '12 by Pepper The CatSomeone said the "q" word at the start of a shift the other day. I made her spin around three times and spit to prevent bad things from happening.
