Stupid Nurse Trick... Don't try this at home... or work!
In a hurry I ran into the supply room to grab an item. As I turned and started out I was grabbed and pulled back. As I was the only one in the room I was quite startled. What happened? There was a large bungey cord hanging from the side of the supply cart. It some how hooked onto my belt, stretched out and pulled me back. And I thought it was a ghost or ??

Wage Freeze
My hospital anounced this week that there will be a 18 month freeze on wages and bouses. They also are eliminating reimbursment for conferences etc. This they say is due to the ecomony. I can understand it partly, but why not call it an indefinite time period instead of 18 months. Any other hospitals doing like wise

Do you round on your patients every one hour?
My Hospital started this program last year. Here it is hourly rounding till 2400. Than Q2 hrs till 0600. Do the nurses here actually wake pts. up at 0200 and 0400 to ask them questions? Some might, but most use common sense and reasoning.

Your Favorite one liner used with patients
Whenever I have to stick a pt. for a lab draw, I ask them if I should draw the next days labs too.

Funny things you have said but wish you didn't
I went to a brewers baseball game with my brother. As is his custom, he brought along a gallon size ziplock bag stuffed with peanuts. A few minutes after we found our seats, a gentleman came past us with his teenage daughter who appeared to be mildly retarded. I noticed as they went past that the daughter also had a ziplock bag stuffed with peanuts. They sat down next to us while by brother was busy reading the lineups. As he read I slid his bag out from under his seat and hid it on my other side. A few minutes later he took the bait. "Hey wheres my peanuts" he asked. Innocently I replied "I am not sure but I think that girl stole your peanuts". He looked over and saw her reaching into her bag of peanuts and became excited, accusing the poor girl of stealing his peanuts. I let this go on for a few minutes. While he was still arguing I snuck brothers bag back under his seat. Than, again acting innocently, nudged my bro and pointed under his seat. After he profusly apologized to the man and daugher, I let them in on my joke. We all had a good laugh over it........dabow
