Tell me/us about a funny moment in nursing...or one you think was funny since we have different kinds of senses of humor and don't all think the same things are funny.

One I just thought of....I was orienting another nurse, she was supposed to work up to 6 patients on her assignment- primary care nursing. I think I had her up to 5 (she may never have actually had 6. I can't recall)...She was busy and I was standing by to help, if she needed. She needed to ask. She didn't ask for help but she came flying by the nurses station once (She had a temper!) and threw her stethoscope on the desk. Literally! LOL I said, "I hope that wasn't for MY benefit!" All these years later, it strikes me as very funny somehow. We wound up getting along fine though not best friends. :)
