To do what this person did. Bubba was driving me nuts.
Pre-teens can be a handful in more ways than you think. Going to the mall and not being able to sell back your old game system really IS upsetting, but it just reflects the concepts of economics: supply and demand.
No demand for your game console (actually oversupply) means they won't buy yours back.
Whine, cry all you want, you need to think of something else.
That is all.

Yes, it's non-formulary at the Hotel
And no, contrary to popular belief, we don't supply it, either, but this order was entertaining:
I always tell the flower children to go to the state next door (since they wrote this character's script.)
Alas, they continue to patronize our local drug dealers, even if it means we'll kick them out and some of our surgeons will refuse to operate on them if they need it.
Just a thought.
More later...

Twas the night before Christmas
An oldie but goodie I rediscovered here. Enjoy!
twas the night before christmas -a nursing version
twas the night before christmas, and all through the floor
lasix was given, filling foleys galore.
stockings were worn to prevent emboli,
they came in two sizes, knee and thigh high.
the patients were nestled half-@$$ed in their beds,
while visions of stool softeners danced in their heads.
we in our scrubs, and they in their gowns,
fashion created to hide extra pounds.
when down in the er it became such a zoo,
they called with admissions for me and you.
they're coming, they're going, and they're all looking the same.
my patience for patients is starting to wane.
now call lights are ringing, the patient 400 pounds,
says "didnt get my pericare, send my nurse now".
and now delegation seems the best plan,
we try to send others, for the needs of this man.
when what to my wondering eyes should appear,
but santa himself and 8 tiny reindeer.
hey says he comes from central supply.
to bring us lr, ns, & d5.
the doctors then scribbled what no one could read.
orders on patients, to measure their pee.
we try to decipher illegible words,
orders for patients, to guaiac their turds.
the new shift arriving, our day is now through,
how did stool & emesis get in my shoe?
we give them report and pass on the facts,
and tell them of duoderm lining the cracks.
and the nurses exclaim as they limp out of sight,
"ativan to all, and to all a good night".

Fluids, flotsam and jetsam, oh my!
That was the story of one of our shifts.
Need D5 1/2NS, which is one of the more popular fluids on our unit? Gotta run around to find it. Those supply people must have had a bad day because no one at Madison had more than one lonely bag.
I deal with lots of fluids and stuff--urine, sputum, feces, but every nurse has a weakness for one. Mine is vomit. I'm not phobic, mind you, I just don't like being there for it, or dumping it, but I had to do that the other night when one of our people got sick, right before shift change. Patient got his PRN Compazine but was still retching away an hour later. I got to pass him on to the next shift for a fluid order. Too bad he didn't have his PICC anymore...he's a terrible stick.
More to come...stay tuned.
