   Quote from mclennan

   Any time you sign your name you automatically put "RN" & the date/time after it, especially when tired after a long shift, I did this at the DMV and had to do it over.
   
   Here in L.A., my co workers and I used to try and guess which SSRI/NRI/benzo the plastic-surgeried ladies we saw on the street were on, "she totally has Zoloft face. OMG, that blonde one has Xanax eyes. Lookit, Paxil face AND fresh Botox!"
   
   Carry box of gloves in car in case of Good Samaritan situation. And I sometimes try to log on my computer at home with my work logon.

   I can't tell you how many times Ive put RN after my signature...too funny!
