sooo, we were having a WAYYYYY stressful shift the other day.....call-lights going off CONSTANTLY... I as stressed to the max, but somehwere around the middle of the shift, I had this funny thought as I practically ran from my last call light request to the next...."we are like Pavlov's Dogs!" :lol2: (well, except instead of salivating and getting a TREAT part---LOL!)

The bell rings, we get there as briskly as we can....then lo and behold, yet ANOTHER bell is going off, and then.....ANOTHER!!! I'm glad that God brought this very FUNNY thought to me, since I would've cried otherwise! (I'm kidding, I wasn't THAT stressed that I'd cry!):nurse:

P.S....I ended up staying FIFTEEN hours, if that gives a better picture of what a ROUGH day it was!!! :eek:

Do you salivate when u hear the call bells?! hee hee!

I had the same thought about the bed alarms in our inpatient rehab unit. That alarm goes off and everyone pops up and starts running around the unit.
