    "You take the BUS to work!"

    What a dolt! I liked JBudd's idea of loudly repeating, "Why is my personal life any concern of yours?" especially in front of the people who are listening to his/her stupidity. It appears as though...

    Know-it-all Professor

    To the OP, perhaps this is the real reason for your frustration?? Why would your English professor question you about medical knowledge? Two possibilities could be either he is a jerk for embarassing...

    add your funny TRIAGE complaints from pts

    Complaint: Nothing, I have no problems
  15. I would think that the patient not "all in order" was probably the most stable patient the nurse had at that time. I've had several critical patients at the same time and had to quickly determine who...

    You know your pt is a jerk if........

    He blows a raspberry at you every time you walk in the room and call you a @*^$# because you wouldn't let him grab your backside and you're the first one to do this. Confused old man, my butt.......he...

    Bathroom Inservicing

    In addition to various postings and messages, we have our mailboxes IN the bathroom. I think that's gross. I'm waiting for CE's to be printed on the toilet paper and meetings to be held in there. That...
