Heard on the unit

A few of the more interesting things in our neck of the woods.

"He's too heavy." (multiple people)
We're getting more and more bariatric patients at the Hotel. Some people are getting so irate at staff meetings that they are refusing to move some people. We have equipment, but no one wants to help each other when people have to get up for whatever reason.

I think we need some team building...fast!

"Get out of here you b&(*h" Mr. Demented to nurse manager and male staff
At least, we girls, don't have to be the only ones to put up with inappropriate behavior from this one.

"I'm going to go home and grill a steak." Mr. H.
Mr. H. has been with us for nearly a year. Spring is coming. He's having food fantasies and swapping so many grilling stories with people that he's making me hungry. He should be good to go in the next couple of days.

"I can't believe we didn't think of that sooner." Charge M.
M. our charge nurse has been around for a very long time. We used a rare, side entry maneuver to get a patient into his/her wheelchair without issue after one of our new nurses brought it up. We haven't used it in a long time, so that's probably why we forgot it, but so did the therapists.
