From a parents mouth. So what!

You are not the first nurse I met, and you won't be the last.

Guess what, your kid threw up, and can't come back for 24 hours!

I get it. I didn't like it in the hospital. I don't mind the Nurse Moms for some reason.

Specializes in Complex pedi to LTC/SA & now a manager.

My son's school nurse knows what I do and keeps trying to get me hired so I can help her out...I'm waiting for the day one of my kiddos goes to his school as she'd have a blast with me there all day. Sadly his districts sends most of the kids I care for out of district

I usually only say that so the nurse (or dr or other medical professional) will know that they can use medical terms and what not.

I had a nurse argue with me about my refusal to dispense unlabeled medication from a baggie to her precious flower. My response "if someone handed you a bag of unlabeled meds in the hallway and told you to give it to the patient in room 412, would you give it?"

She looked at me a few seconds and then stated "Well, not without a proper documentation and labeling. Oh..................." Then, the lightbulb went off!

I usually only tell other nurses when they give me that look and talk dumb to me..
