How to perturb your coworkers, part 2

1. When I tell you something, don't bother listening the first time I tell you. Wait until I ask you later, then get hysterical as you are leaving a meeting. Looks grand in the hallway!

 Twenty points extra if this is your new manager who just got a clue.

2. Roll your eyes in every meeting. One day, I'm going to film our staff meetings to prove it.

3. Be paranoid in video conferences. It just shows that you may need to STAY here, not just work here.

The list grows...stay tuned or comment on some of your favorites!

In the middle of the pouring rain

This describes my life in so many ways lately.

Oh, it's Monday

Since I had an earworm the other day, I very well could have had this as one today. It really was a Manic Monday.

When competent (but lazy) RNs refuse assignment, you just have to wonder.

OMG.

Where are the Magliozzi Brothers when we need them?


 
Blame it on the train/But the bus is already there...

Ah, I know how to get this going...

Just too funny, and a little scary, because we rehab nurses, DO know how to get you going.
You may not like it, though.

Don't ask me what I do with this finger (waving index finger in the air...)

What I missed in 2011

Yes, since I was busy getting a new job, getting highly stressed from life and grad school, and running from airplane to airplane going to three conferences in the span of a week, I missed the good stuff on the internet.

However, Shrtstmtrooper posted about Guy on a Buffalo recently. Since Bubba has been obsessed with wild animals (such as the monarch of the Plains lately), I thought why not.

Two words: hysterically funny.

The back story is here from a 2011 Forbes article. (you know you're big time when you are in a business magazine's website)

Episode 2 is below. More available on YouTube.

A video you won't want to miss

Doctors often talk about being a patient, but you'll be amazed by this physician.

Somehow...

Somehow, some way, we'll get this show on the road...

Can't seem to get my mind off of you...

Will be in and out. Enjoy all wherever you roam!

More nurse videos...

"Nurses don't put barriers on how we engage." Wow! Enjoy this video!

I am a nurse

AKA the quick pick me up video if you're feeling down. TGIF!

View from across the pond...

Happy Nurses' Week. Enjoy this video from the Royal College of Nursing.

As they say, "It takes an extraordinary person to become a nurse."

The undeniable privilege

Of being present in life for patients. Absolute truth!

Great video!

.

When it's all said and done

Nurses care. Enjoy this video. Happy Nurses' Week!

Happy Cinco de Mayo

Yes, it's coming! So I did some investigating, er, eating tonight with Dahey and Bubba at a local restaurant. It was delicious! The margaritas were exceptional. If you need a little help, check out this video. If you find those tequila gummy worms, let me know.  Have a great fiesta, wherever you are

Working up to Nurses' Week

I'm going to post videos and links to posts of note in honor of Nurses' Week: Delivering quality and innovation in patient care.


I really enjoyed this video from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, Nurses shatter the stereotype. My favorite part describes my job in the Hotel, because nurses really do make important decisions about how healthcare is delivered. Yes! All that and more.

Nurses even serve in Congress and run Federal agencies.

With a film like this, c'mon, don't YOU want to be a nurse?

Love just letting it go...

Thank you Grumpy for posting this video. I so needed a good laugh. It is a great spot for a PSA.

Sunday silliness

I loved this video when I saw it. Another Oreo dismantling technique. Be sure to watch all the way to the end to see the best splitting method.

Always remember...

These heroes are dead. They died for liberty - they died for us. They are at rest. They sleep in the land they made free, under the flag they rendered stainless, under the solemn pines, the sad hemlocks, the tearful willows, and the embracing vines. They sleep beneath the shadows of the clouds, careless alike of sunshine or of storm, each in the windowless Place of Rest. Earth may run red with other wars - they are at peace. In the midst of battle, in the roar of conflict, they found the serenity of death. I have one sentiment for soldiers living and dead: cheers for the living; tears for the dead. ~ Robert G. Ingersoll

Thank you Uncle Max. You gave your life in World War II far from home crossing a river I lived to see in peacetime even though I never met you.

Thank you Skippy, injured in the jungles of Vietnam. You wore your scars every single day I knew you.

Thank you, all veterans, who gave your lives for the cause of freedom or died later as a result of it, on this Memorial Day.

We remember you and we remember freedom isn't free. You paid the ultimate price.

Don't stand so close to me...

What I wanted really wanted to tell a few people at work the other day...

Savoring the last moments...

Of vacation until I go back to work. So I'm taking my self on in...and this is really what you're gettin', kiddos!



More to come...stay tuned.
