Is this the one? "Carla: Well, you're a surgeon. So, you've got the god-complex, the cockiness, the whole "married to the job" thing. You're cute, but you're very, very aware of it. You have no idea what I'm like, so all of your feelings for me are coming from [she points to his midsection] down there. But most of all, I'm looking for the real thing; and you're nothing but a little boy who's not used to being told "No." So there's a bunch of reasons. Pick your favorite." source: http://scrubs.mopnt.com/scripts/scrubs102.html

The shifts are: Morning: 7am-3pm Evening: 11am-7pm, 12pm-8pm, 1pm-9pm, 1.30pm-9.30pm (The last one is an RN shift, others can be RNs or LPNs) Night: 9pm-7am We are always able to leave about 10-15 mins early. Someone in the morning shift comes early enough for us to leave. And when the morning shift leaves evening shift is already working. We have our breaks too... I probably couldn't even do without them. But it's strictly in the law here that workers must have their breaks. This is a 32 bed geriatric/LTC unit where one patient walks, others have to be assisted in different tasks.

I'm working at an LTC facility and one of my patients is a 90-year-old lady. Most of our patients have dementia so bad they can't remember where they are... So I walk into the room and ask if everything's alright. Resident goes:"Do you know where Jokimaa (=apparently a name of a place) is?" N:"No why?" R:"Well that lady on the other side of the room (we have 3 ppl per room) says she has a house there and she needs to get there." N:"Ok, well how do think we would find out where that is?" R:"Let's ask the POLICE!!! They know everything!" N:"Alright, where do we find a policeman now?" R:"Let's wait 'til dinner, they always come then..." That cracked me up... that day when I left work I saw a police car and couldn't help but thinking that there they are now... :rotfl: :rotfl:

And if you're willing to listen that "jesus this, jesus that" (forgive me if I offended anyone) for a while you'll be fine. My school requires a few classes which are religious and I hate them but I get through them clenching my teeth. All this just so I can become a nurse! :)

Anyone ever thought how much you can learn when you're sick? All you do is wish you'd be tucked in in bed... See I'm not in the US and our schools NEVER encourage you to come in when you're sick. And that policy just seems silly to me. It's not like it's your fault that you've got a cold. Our schools do make you take the clinicals again next year if you miss a lot, meaning like 2 weeks... Just two cents from a girl who cannot ABSORB any information when I'm sick...
