Wine....lots of wine....

The pay in Co is much lower than anywhere else.

Lately we have been so busy I don't even have a chance to sit during the night. However when it is super slow, I will play solitaire or other games on my ipod, search the internet (what we can), or try to chit chat with coworkers.

I wish I made 65k a year...

No charting would be magnificent. I'd get to spend more time on patient CARE!

I usually sleep from 9am to 1 or 2 in the afternoon. I can't sleep any longer than that I have a hard time sleeping during the night let alone the day...It sucks.

It's not just nurses, that would describe women in general

I always aspirate, but have never gotten blood.

I used to think I wanted to, but I spent the day with lactation on Monday and it was BORING! I learned a lot of great stuff, but I would never want to be a full time Lactation consultant.

We have ambien 5-10mg as a standing order. We only give it occasionally.

We do this too. Lots of times we don't have a CNA so the unit secretary (if we have one) will sit with the babe for a few minutes. Sometimes it's nice to have to "babysit" because you can't really leave the baby so you have to chart I often will volunteer to watch the kid so I can catch up on my charting.

Wow, I'm glad I don't work with people like you...

I find this funny, because I just saw my first circ with EMLA two days ago. I've never seen that before and I was like what the heck!! I've only seen it done with lidocaine before then.

Ugh...Human Resources Generalist for 6 years...

I have found alcohol prep pads, empty medication blister packs, a whole small jar of sublingual NTG (OOPS!), paper towels with vitals written all over them...
