A graduate nurse comes to work with her pretty new expensive stethoscope. The experienced nurse uses whatever is around because the Doctors will walk away with them anyway; along with the pens and your cup of coffee.

A graduate nurse reads the H and P thoroughly and writes up care plans; the experienced nurse has seen whatever the patient has so many times, she doesn't need to read the H and P (she/he could probably write it better than the Resident). She makes the Graduate nurse write the care plan.

Specializes in Gerontology, Med surg, Home Health.

Funny except for the catheter comment.
