Theme of the day....

Alright everybody...let's have some fun

In the ED I work in we try to come up with a daily theme..something humerous, apathetic...a little cynicsm helps. like: "we can't cure what you can't spell"... get the idea?

I notice that our theme days revolve around what presents the most, like appy day, CP day, stupid day, German day (those pts with germanic last names) Hispanic day, etc. And I say we are running a special on CP's on Monday's or that we have the Free Beer & Pizza sign out front to encourage people to sign in with minor complaints that they've had for a llllloooonnnnngggg time.

AMEN! And I don't really care how you get home just that you go away with your discharge information & RX & no we are not the diner, so don't ask for toast with jelly to go with your AM meds. Gee, would you like your toast cut into squares or triangles?:lol2:

I have decided that all ED nurses are cut from the same mold because so many of the topics we discuss here are exactly how things go in my own dept. We always come up with a theme for the day...LOL
