Horses vs. Nurses

I walk fast . . . . only run if there is an emergency.

Definateley a good-clipped trot.... have even considered hanging a feedsack from my ears in case I get tied up and can't get to lunch before I pass out.... wouldn't be the first time I made a horse's azz out of myself !!!

I walk fast also!

When I started nursing I was told "There are only three things a nurse should run for:-
Cardiac Arrest, haemorrhage (copious quantities only) and your pay. :

I sit at the desk and read magazines all night. LOL

Speaking as a RN/APN...with.... ADHD

I am SUPER HIGH STRUNG....
Everything gets my attention. I don't walk. I POWER WALK! Prior to moving into our new building, we were on the third floor of a office building, which for some reason, allowed your to kinda hear when someone was walking down the hall where the exam rooms were. My patients would always say they never knew if they were sick if they saw me, because I always came flying down the hall, while my MD was always casual. I scared one little lady, almost into an MI.

At the hospital, many nurses will say "Its been a rough day, PLEASE keep it to a slow trodd. No one is dieing!"
While, they know if we have a code emergency of the sorts, I'll beat anyone in the building to the PT's room.
