You Know It's Going to Be a Bad Shift.....

....you phone rings four hours before your shift, and they beg you to come in early.

...on the way to work, the radio station is playing, "Knock, Knock, Knockin' on Heaven's Door."

....when you arrive, you meet the pharmacy tech. in the elevator, and he hands you a whole case of GoLytely, and say, "Here, this is all for your floor."

When you arrive on the unit, the nurse finishing her charting at the nsg. station looks up and asks, "How many 'r's are there in 'diarrhea'?

As soon as you arrive, someone hands you a set of scrubs and says, "Here, you'd better put these on!"

One of the nurses from the previous shift is weeping at the nursing station.

The previous shift tells you "Things have been quiet."
