Specializes in Step down, ICU, ER, PACU, Amb. Surg.

I was banned from "shop talk" when I started out as a CRN and again after I was married and became a nurse......The kids have tried to engage me in a gross out a time or 2 but have since given up, as mom can top them every time.......I seem to be on speed dial for family and friends when ther is a medical problem and I noticed that my daughter is like the family specialist ("my mom is a nurse and she would do this and that" was a common phrase I heard.....lol)..I have told them that if they can scream they are still breathing just fine.....hahahahaha and I find myself signing my title more often than not....maybe I should just have it added on after my name on my checks......hehehehehe! Never hung the stetty over the rear view...usually having it on the front seat was enough....11 yrs and 2 speeding tix.....not too shabby, eh......both times the Trooper must have been having as bad a day as me......lol and last year I was stopped 3 times in one week and let go two of the 3 (that was the week of my 2nd speeding tix) Word got out at work and I inherited a "Get Out of Jail Free" card from a friend who's spouse is a police officer......:p It works too :D

Specializes in ER.

I always get the ticket, and I always deserve it, to tell the truth.

I can clean up almost any human mess but I have to let my cats' vomit cool before I go near it.

By the sounds of it, you also have to "scrub-in" prior to cleaning up after your cat lol. Just being funny, not rude.

I hate typo's....changed car to cat lol.

On the rare occasion that I get to use the bathroom at work, I always wash my hands first (and afterwards). Is this my personal trait or do any of you do this?

I do this a lot too. You never know what's lurking on that nasty chart that you just put down.
