Some of mine:

"Pt medicated; nurse resting comfortably."

"If in doubt, gork 'em out" (I work in ICU).

"I can do anything for 12 hrs"

"Asystole is a very stable rhythm"

Love grows and reposes

I could keep going, I used to compile a list of my favorite quotes. . .

I don't think I have many work sayings yet. Unless you count the fact that I talk to bubbles in my syringes (get out of there!!); fortunately they don't talk back. I do always say (for the last ten years) to my daughter, as I open her car door, "get in, sit down and do your seat belt." That's all fine and good except that I've been known to say it when entering the house door. She thinks I'm crazy anyway.

My preceptor has an "okay" that I've recently realized is completely different from any other "okay"... it is drawn out and almost two syllables. Actually, I suspect she's doing mouth breathing when I hear it. I think the funky "okay" means "oh my god I don't wanna be doing this but we are going to get through it!" It made me smile when I realized this; said realization came when I was in the middle of doing a foley.

Sounds like Texans have alot in common with us Minnesotan's. I'd have said the same thing!

Just got done watching "Hitch" (which is a great/funny movie by the way) Lots of good quotes in there too....here's one I liked... Alex Hitch Hitchens ..."Never lie, steal, cheat, or drink. But if you must lie, lie in the arms of the one you love. If you must steal, steal away from bad company. If you must cheat, cheat death. And if you must drink, drink in the moments that take your breath away."

My saying is HOT MESS.....lol. I always say thigns are a hot mess. If the patient does something funny or is a complete mess I'll say what a hot mess. It can be used in so many contexes. it's usually...."what a hot mess."a girl i went to nursing school with got me saying "nah foo" lol sounds sooo ghetto

I giggled when I saw this one...


"Health nuts are going to feel pretty foolish lying around in the hospital dying of nothing."
-unknown

"Just covering the whole speculum of things" is a personal favorite of mine....
