Are COWs causing injury?

Nurses General Nursing

Published

it has been about 9 months since we started using computers on wheels on our med surg unit. since then i find myself standing alot more than i used to and our cows are big and heavy. my knees are killing me and i think it's the cows. any similar experiences?:uhoh21:

most patient rooms have a computer in it along with the scanner for the meds. the cows or wows are used when the room computer crashes, and are used by some nurses to sit in the comfy chair to do their charting.

i understand "cow". what's a "wow"?

someone posted a few months ago about a patient that heard the nurses talking about the cow and decided they were talking about her. hence the name change.
