    What's the most inappropriate thing you've done that you instantly regretted?

    OyWithThePoodles replied to Rocknurse's topic in General Nursing

    Had a kid try to jump over a chair and hit his head on a table pretty good. Kid is a 4th grader, old enough to know better. So once I make sure he's okay I say "So how'd that work out for ya?" and...
