If something can go wrong, It will. 2

*You always forget what it was you wanted after you get to the supply room. You always remember when you get back to the other end ...

* Doctors only ask your name when the patient isn't doing well.

* Success occurs when no one is looking, failure occurs when the boss is watching.

* As soon as you've ordered the pizzas, 25 patients show up at the ER registration desk along with three ambulances all with cardiac arrests!

* For every action, there is an equal and opposite criticism.

* Ten seconds after you have finished giving a complete bed bath and changing the bed, the patient has a giant code brown.

* If a patient needs four pills, the packet will contain three.

* Your buddies who were reading the paper at the nurses' desk a minute ago always disappear when you need help ...

* Expect to get your pay raise the same day the hospital raises the parking rates (and other charges)

* The better job you do, the more work you can expect to be handed ...

* The amount of clean linen available is inversely proportional to your immediate needs.

* The more confused and impulsive a patient is, the less chance there is for a family member or friend to sit with the patient.

* The perfect nurse for the job will apply the day after that post is filled by some semiqualified idiot. Corollary: You hear about the perfect job the day after you accept another one.

* If only one solution can be found for a problem, then it is usually a stupid solution.

* Despite an apartment littered with clothes, the dog will always sleep on the one clean uniform that you had laid out the night before.

* When the nurse on the preceeding shift has surrounded the patient with absorbant pads, the code brown will hit every sheet and miss every pad.

* Rest assured that when you are in a hurry, the nurse's notes have not been written.

* When you are starting an IV on an uncooperative patient, or dealing with a huge code brown, there is a phone call for you and it's that crabby physician that you have been paging all morning.

* Fire drills always occur on your day from hell - or at the end of a 12 hour shift when you have an important date.

* The first person in line when the clinic opens will not require urgent care. The sickest person will arrive 5 minutes before closing: "I thought I'd feel better"
