Last night at work we were so busy that I had to wait 4 hours from the time I needed to empty my bladder to when I could actually have a moment to do it! Anyway, I was mentioned my prediciment one of the nurses and she jokingly said we nurses should insert a catheter with a leg bag before we come to work... just so we could survive these busy nights!
It got me thinking... what would YOU put in a nursing survival kit???
I thought of:
~my co-worker's suggestion of a foley complete with leg bag
~a year's worth of gift certificates for a housecleaning service
because I always feel too wiped out to tackle the house when
I get home
~a foot massager
Anyway, do you have any suggestions- realistic or funny? I'd love to read them!
How about an "Easy Button" similar to staples commercials? Or, I think it was the movie click, where one could make everything stop momentarily, allowing the user to breathe, pee, caffienate, smoke...
How about 3 extra pairs of hands! And the ability to "beam into" (versus "beaming up") a room that roll of tape (or hemostat, or 2x2, or bag of IVF) that I forgot.
