Wise One Liners

  • Experts

The use of Wise One Liners helps me when I'm needing to make decisions, especially at work.

Here's a few examples crediting the person from which I first heard it:

If it ain't broke, don't fix it." -Dad

"The worst enemy of good is better." -Dr. M

And from Dr. ABC:

Got any Wise One Liners you like to use?

    We can't clock out until 7:23 without getting docked 15 minutes, so I say, "...7:25."

    About a week ago, I was giving report to the day shift after dealing partially or completely with a total of 12 admissions, among other things, during my MN shift. Seven of those incompleted admissions were left from the preceding day shift.

    The oncoming nurse told me that I needed to complete one of the admissions and I replied,

    "My shift ends when my report ends".

    "Even crazy people can have heart attacks."

    -unknown ED Charge RN after a cocky new paramedic whose initials are CF brought in a patient having a psychotic episode (unworthy of running an EKG). Patient kept talking about being in the hospital and it turned out she had been in that very ED two nights before with an NSTEMI. Fortunately for the young paragod, this time it was just indigestion.

    One of my favorites! It’s a corollary of “That’s a day shift problem.”
