Special Snowflake!

If I hear that phrase here one more time, I might have to slap you in the forehead. Stop. Please.

Sigh, the fun I miss while I am at work.

At my hospital if you work a 4-hour shift it's called a princess shift, and whoever works it is called the princess. So, it's not uncommon to have the following conversation:

RN: who's the princess today?

Charge: Dogen is the princess, he'll be in at 11.

Then when I arrive people say, "hi, princess!"

It's the sort of thing that's not going to survive the first complaint, but right now everyone loves picking up a 4-hour shift once in a while, so no one cares what you call it.

We do the same thing. I don't mind being called princess and I can deal with anything for 4 hours, including a very special snowflake with status sparklititis.

Okay, I'm shutting this thread down now. Everyone, go home. You're drunk.

I'm not drunk, I only had 2 beers. Honest.

Ixchel- I was having a dinner emergency.

Like my husband failed to tell me the propane was almost empty and the grill shut off as I was putting the pork chops on it.

Your avatar reminds me of the creatures from "the Strain".

Wow, Farawyn has certainly turned into quite the **** mouth. And I have no idea what those ***** are supposed to be. Probably because I'm so sweet and innocent. (:roflmao: or not)

They're asterisks.:wacky:

I don't know what year you took boards but you left out the all so important lamp oiling. Nurses didn't really touch patients, so our boards weren't hard. The answer to all of the scenario questions was "yes doctor, right away doctor."

They hadn't invented CPR or medication or treatments so we just stood around like in the soap operas and flirted with the doctors in the hope that one day we'd be Mrs. Dr.

Carrying an abacus got cumbersome so we just guessed when it came to anything requiring numbers. Those were the days...

was that back in the days of dinosaurs?

Yes, but they were asterisks with intention.

(I'll behave. Rather, I won't swear anymore. I still gotta be me.)

I kind of like SS and COB only, with the population in between as simply nameless, faceless rabble. (Otherwise known as Nurses.)
