Silly random nursing thoughts, one sentence, NO JUDGMENTAL FOLKS ALLOWED

[wooh]

Rule is: One sentence. Random thought. Silly is great. Funny would rock. If you're going to be judgmental, GO TO ANOTHER THREAD! FUN ONLY HERE!

Fomite is my new favorite word because it sounds like a sandwich spread.

Who locked the patient advocate in the linen room this time?!!! . . .Sigh . . .

*Vegimite is that canned stuff that aussies love to eat on bread as a spread. I think it is Yeast based, but not sure.

playing devil's advocate, since the cute little lulliby bells play hospital wide for a birth,. . .

I suggest we have a heavy organ play overhead when someone makes the ultimate check-out.

That was a total joke:rotfl:

You know, I'm sure if they would do it for themselves they could. But they're in an unsual position with no way of getting some of the things they would find comforting at home. This isn't communist Russia (I speak from experience) where a hospital means that we're here to serve your most basic survival needs (not even that usually) and then kick you out. If you find it beneath you, you have techs who can assist. But I wouldn't roll my eyes at a nice patient who just wants a cup of coffee to help him get thorugh the day (and maybe be less cranky).

Sorry, I know that came off snappy.

Snappy? No. Entirely judgmental and missing the point of the post? Yes.

I guess you've been fortunate enough to not have the patient that calls you every ten minutes for unnecessary items that she COULD have asked you for the last eight times you were in the room. The "nice patient" that asked once, no one minds.

We have a sweet patient who has...some mental issues. Back when we still had budget for lobby coffee, he brought a package of cookies and set them by the cart "so the people can have some crummies with their coffee." :)

Stealing this from the mockery thread...my new tagline is "fomite and fancy free".

Hahahaha

I am going to have to borrow a Depend's pad from my grandmother to read this thread I can tell now.

[BostonTerrierLover, BSN, RN]

Once heavily burdened with no where else to turn and 2 patients waiting to use the bathroom, I opened the door, . .swallowed, and asked. .

"Mrs. XXXXX Can I borrow your bedside commode, I promise I will clean it really good when I get finished with it."

"Yeah Hun, But your welcomed to use my bathroom, you'd have alot more privacy in there."

[Ruby Vee, BSN]

i thought thread was supposed to be funny and lighthearted. can at least one thread not have the tut tut post in it?

nope. the "tut tut" post is obligatory.

sorry, i know that came off snappy.

if you know it came off as snappy, and you know this is a light hearted humor thread, why oh why did you hit the "post comment" button?

Blah, blah, blah...isn't there like a DELETE button for those that don't read the initial post stating this is a humor thread? Seriously!

I personally LOVE this thread. 99% of my patients freaking rock. We do have the occasional drama king/queen, but fortunately they are usually assigned to someone else...he he he.

My latest of this type really needed to hear this:

"seriously, I REALLY don't need to hear about your husband's personal sexual preferences." o.O

To all my other wonderful patients, I will get you tea, coffee, whatever. Thank you for keeping family preferences PRIVATE!
