   OB Nurse Andrea replied to Brownms46's topic in Humor

   The other day, one of my fellow nurses opened up her lunch bag and said "oh no, my sandwich prolapsed." She held up her sandwich baggy and showed her sandwich that had all the meat and toppings falling through the bread. We giggled about it for sever...

   OB Nurse Andrea replied to Brownms46's topic in Humor

   After many complaints that our previous breakroom was an unsecure place to leave personal belongings, an office that one has to actually enter the nurses' station to access was repurposed into one. When we decided to call it "The Inner Os" I realize...

    Yeah it sounds a little like echolalia, but what I find so odd is that she isn't just repeating back what you just said, but turning it around as her idea. When I worked Alzheimer's care I would often hear the residents just repeating back what they...
