Home phone rings

Me: Hello, Unit B, this is Nurse Pixie how may I help you.

Any Alarm rings (microwave, preheating oven, dryer cycle done etc)

Needing to use the bathroom

Hands over cell to daughter and asks she cover my phone for a couple of minutes

I knock on my own bedroom door and say, "Nursing!"

Hey Brian! You are on a roll here. Thanks buddy. We needed that laugh. Keep 'em coming.

When I used to work nocs, the beeping of the garbage truck backing up when I was sleeping during the day always caused me to wake up thinking "What alarm is that!?!"

Signing "carbonate_flower, RN" on cheques etc.

Sometimes I have an increase sense of awareness. I can tell when something about a person is not right. Sure enough the person either falls or something crazy happens, but I sensed the danger long before it happened.

Whenever anyone comes around me, unbeknownst to them, they've just received a head to toe assessment!

Signing my checks with "RN" after my name.
