Dear Floor Nursing Peeps:
When you invite the big cheese of the unit to a meeting and he/she offers to buy pizza for everyone, do not freak said chief out by bringing the labor relations staff member to the meeting.
He will eat more pizza than everyone, even though he looks pretty skinny.
Just a thought for next time...
Still really a RN (even if some of you don't believe it),

The plot thickens
Lots of craziness going on in the Hotel. Hustle, bustle, and renovating in my world. The painting part is going slowly, so I've been relocated to the office I started out in when I transferred. I don't really mind, since I enjoy my office mates.
I may get some new compatriots in the SU, or the ones who are there may stay on permanently. This is a hot topic on the unit, since everyone wants to run away from the boss. They'll do anything to get on day shift so they can take off and run.
Very few people are happy right where they are. They think there are too many changes. It would have come to us no matter what. It's been a year since Boss said he/she was moving on, but he/she didn't leave right away. Many people are still marooned and not coping well. The New Boss had to reiterate that his/her door was open, so ask if you want something, don't gossip. Seems like an easy concept, but it's not really as much fun to not gossip at the Hotel.
We will just have to wait and see, as the plot thickens.
More later...my Malbec is calling me. I've been good!

Deep Thoughts
With all due respect to Jack Handey, I've been pondering the following lately.
1. Why, oh, why would someone's family think it's appropriate to bring granddad alcohol to the hospital? Especially when he's on meds that will make him really, really stupid (and potentially sick)?
2. What doctor would purposely forget a patient's Baclofen order, when s/he's been on a high oral dose for ages?
3. Why on earth, in this, the 21st century, do we still have to have books that read like this? And why on earth would your coworkers tell you, in a diverse organization, "That's just the way it is."
That, like rehab bowel programs, smells really bad and for one, I'm tired of it. It's one of the things that drives me nuts about Madison.
And on that note, I leave you, back with Jack...check out the notecards. They are a riot!
More to come....from happier climes.
