Humor-a must!

Well said.....the most important tip of all!
When I have pt's on IVF's at 150/hr or greater, I grab 2 bags at the beginning of the shift so that I don't have to make multiple trips to the stock room when they run out (and while I'm in there, I grab all my pt's IVF's for the day).
I use the same concept with many other tasks, I try and "group" things to use my time more effectively.
