8. It makes fellow employees look better.

9. It makes the cafeteria food taste better.

10. Bosses are more likely to hand out raises when they are wasted.

Hmm, we have a "Happy Hour" for our elderly residents (on Fridays), never thought of that for the employees.

Seriously, though, before I was hired, our facility had a Harvest Ball every year and staff would get just as wasted as the residents. :balloons: :smokin: :roll :clown:

LOL, we just had a medical marajuana vote this election, and we in our state do have it legalized, but it was all about dispenceries. Anyway...people asked me what I thought of it all together and I said about the same things listed above! LOL!

Things you may see or do if patients smoked medical pot in their rooms (and you inhale...I advise deeply..LOL!).

*Nurses quoted as saying "oh dude you are like so going to die..got anything in your fridge?"

*little old ladies doing tye dyes instead of quilts or knitting stocking caps

*tripping out on how to do the hoyer! or getting in the hoyer and using it as a swing WEEEEEEE!

*finding new and intresting uses for a Texas Cath!

*patient gets a laughing fit right after an enema, and you didn't duck..but you don't care!

*smiling happy staff and patients getting along in perfect harmony over a bag of dorrito's!

*Nap times for ALL at noon and 1400..and so on!

*falling injuries down because you are so limp and carefree!

*Tie dye scrubs!!!

*Pharmacy will no longer get so much flack, and get to use that old hooka they have in the back room for show!

*Meal service by Mc Donalds!

*A new department of 'trip managment'

*activites will change from ceramics to balloon animals!

*Nursing report will consist of "oh dude it just bit today...have a nice shift!"

*Perseverant story telling by residents will be more enertaining!

*you won't doubt a hallutionation again, but be able to add on to the story!

*hugs and thank yous will increase by 90%

and

*no one will accuse you of being up all night drinking when you show up with bloodshot eyes and a lazy attitude anymore!!!!

LOL!!!!!!!!

LOL Fran..acually I have to pull teeth to get folks to laugh at my job..it just worked this time out! I am a RN, trained by paramedics during nursing school, think like a paramedic trapped in the RN title! SO I have a very odd sence of humor to most nurses I meet! But I love my humor..it keep me going! And in this case it kept them going too...oh my I had to wonder how many pot heads I had working with me after this! LOL!

Hubby is a paramedic..so I hear humor all the time...I must say their jokes are far superior to nurses! LOL!!!!!

Being EMT I thought you may appreciate that!!!!!! LOL!!!!!

Indeed I do.:D I used to work as a bus driver. In the summer, especially, we had to wait for our passengers for hours sometimes. During that time there was a lot of backstabbing (something I detest) so I decided to take a deck of cards with me and ask my co-workers if anyone was interested in playing 500 rummy. I had a lot of takers, and it caught on very well. In fact, others began bringing decks of cards too. And we all went home without putting anyone down. Sure made me a lot happier.
