If your Facebook status could be ANYTHING, what would it be?

If you could vent to Facebook ANYTHING without risk of work/coworkers/patients seeing, what would it be?

Specializes in 1 PACU,11 ICU, 9 ER.

Are you serious ? (in response to the non sensical complaint) Do you think we are all stupid and born yesterday?

And why is your IQ lower than the number of teeth in your head??

Sorry had a really busy shift!!!!

To all my FB friends, please do not post status updates about "almost had to go the the ER today" as if you REALLY almost had to go, you wouldn't be on FB to tell about it.

Also, do not post updates FROM the ED. If you are well enough to be on FB, you should be seeing your PCP, or better yet, BE HOME!

To my patients, do not tell me you are hungry and have a headache, as I haven't eaten for 14 hours and have a much worse headache than you have ever had, as evidenced by your c/o HA in the ED and your allergies to Ibuprofen, Tylenol, Toradol, Zofran, Reglan, Compazine, Benadryl, Tramadol, Ultram....and the only thing that works for you is "Da, da, di, dil, dila, dilaudid, is that it?" GO HOME!

Specializes in Oncology; medical specialty website.

Retired with enough money to keep me comfortable.

I am the nurse in charge. Do you want to sign out AMA?

Specializes in Emergency, Haematology/Oncology.

OOOOH, I have another one! To the 5 intoxicated ladies that arrived on ambulance stretchers on Sat night with their very concerned friends, I hope you enjoyed your stay in our waiting room, and yes your parents were incredibly annoyed when I phoned them to come pick you up. Don't do that again.

"To the toothless drug addict that didn't want to press charges after her husband nearly beat her to death: guess what?! In this state, it doesn't matter! *happy dance*"

1. Today I actually helped save a life.

2. To the person in the next room that did not get their pillow when the pressed their call button and asked for one. "I'm sorry I was not able to get your pillow as soon as you asked for one. I did not realize it was more important for you to get your pillow than the patient in the next room over to get a potently life saving/stabilizing medication."

3. Don't tell me you body part such as you arm is completely numb and in the same sentence tell me that the same body part hurts 10/10.

4. No you cannot take an antibiotic for the flu/virus. It will not help.

5. If your stupid enough to smoke while wearing oxygen at home then I have no sympathy for the facial burn you just received.

6. I am not your waiter. I will not bring you endless supplies of food and drink during your stay in the ED. If you want something to eat or drink then you are feeling better than all the patients that need to be in the ED and you should go home.
