    Our full-moon madness has already started where I work. I think the next full moon is on Saturday night. I would like to send the Haldol through the vent system at our school. Sad thing is a bunch of our students are already on Haldol!

    OK, I'll buy the full moon bit, worked to many of them to not notice all the craziness. Had all my own babies on full moons. But, what about all the other days? Full moon, new moon, sun spots, storm front, low pressure, high pressure, tides coming in, tides going out, something in the air, we blame it on what ever we can at work, jokingly.

    Exactly. If crazyness can be blamed on just about anything, I find it hard to believe that a full moon has that much effect.

    Seems like all the nuts come out on a full moon night.

    Agreed. Like P_RN pointed out, these are not just nursing anecdotes. I work in IS now. Yesterday, they moved all the network servers to Windows 2000. I'm thinking, not a good time, with the moon nearly full. People are really edgy at that time. Add loss of email to that equation....

    I'd like to see vaporised Haloperidol or similar in ED waiting rooms. Maybe there could be another button beside the duress alarm, and we could spray some form of benzodiazepine from the triage desk which would also placate the relatives.
