Specializes in Trauma, Teaching.

"Jesus died for him too". Brings me back to we all have shortcomings and faults, just not always on display.

I have also used "I love my job" and "this too shall pass". But not on enema days, lol.

When I was newbie, I had this horrible senior nurse who was notorious for her unfair dividing up of patients. Lucky me, for almost two months I was always paired with her in the beginning. There was one time, I had 2 post op patients direct from the O.R., 1 intubated patient and another scheduled for surgery in the morning with pending clearances from various services I had to follow up and additional 4 patients from level one to two.

So my mantra: "I've been throughh worse."
