Basically if it's like 0.67 of a tablet, I crush the whole thing and mix it with 10mL water in a syringe, then push out all but 0.67 mL. The patient was tube-fed so that helped.

GENIOUS!!!!! I never thought of that. Totally using this :)

Yes but I was very tired when I posted this-- and I made a MED ERROR here-- (not in real life). A good reason to have everything double checked if you are tired. ;-) I meant to type 6.7 mL of water, not 0.67 of water. This has been bothering me ever since I posted it so I wanted to make sure there is a correction here!

The glassy-eyed smile of relief as you walk past their station. Coupled with the overly-cheerful, "Hiii, Clementia...boy am I glad to see you."

"They're on contact precautions and there's a bucket of Go-Lytely by the bedside..."

"I called for three units of blood and it's not here yet."

"Tonight you're starting with six patients!" (It's still a PM shift -- I get to work at 7 pm -- and I usually have no more than 5.)

...when there are lounge chairs outside three patient rooms, each with a thermos of coffee, a newspaper, and a big cop with handcuffs and a sidearm. True story.

When the nurse who should give you report is under arrest and detained by police in the nursing office and being accused of trying to kill a patient.

Sure would set you up for a bad day. Jeez

I should have known to just turn around and go home the other day when I realized I had come into work with my scrub pants on backwards. It was truly the shift from hell.
