Heard on the unit

It's the sounds of summer, and so it goes for the latest installment of Heard on the Unit...

"Thank you for everything. You made me feel like a real person." Mr. D.
Mr. D. insisted on giving me a hug, because apparently, Mr. D's experiences with one of our sister hospitals has not been going too well. "I'm just going to come back here once a year, and not worry about them." he said before leaving recently.

"They're taking overtime away." Certain staff who work way too many OT hours elsewhere and want to call in sick on their home units.

Don't like it? Find another place to work. We aren't really thrilled by your calling-in behavior, either, since we get to stay over or come in early, whether we want to do OT or not.

(rumble, rumble, rumble) Outside the unit recently.

These sounds were caused by a bunch of these folks making their annual pilgrimage to Washington, DC in the Run for the Wall.

"Hooray!" RehabRN
Yes, I'm heading to my favorite Starbucks to chill with a cool drink, since someone gave me a free drink coupon. Life really is sweet!
