Your children are upstairs drinking hot cocoa and having cookies, you are TRYING really hard to be a good mom after working a 9 /12 hour (supposed to be an 8 hour) shift, you KNOW it is now 8:30pm, (and still getting used to military time, try to figure that out, oh, yeah, 2030 hours), your still have to read stories to your kids, but you just HAD to read this whole thread and just HAVE to post something. Yup. It is official. I am a allnurses.com addict.
Is there a website for this addiction? lol

107. We have electronic medical record at the hospital I work for, we do everything through the computer. You know you are hooked when you are on hold on the phone (with insurance company, pharmacy, another department)you "multitask" by scrolling/reading throught the posts on allnurses b/c it may be the only time you have to read them during your day and you don't want to miss something. You also need something to occupy you while you wait on the phone!
Specializes in 6 years of ER fun, med/surg, blah, blah.
115. You bring up funny things you read on allnurses to show your co-workers & call it your therapy. btw I can't find that dog web site that you can type in commands for a cute yorkie.
Saw it yesterday but can't remember on which area.
116. You think you are listening to the tv or family talking but are so focused on allnurses.com that what you hear is distorted. For example: Just now, as I was reading this thread, I thought I heard the commercial on TV say "Lunesta Chocolate Cookies".
