"I would not say such things if I were you!"

So I've come to the conclusion that my nursing career encourages/makes me cuss much more than I ever have before. Examples:

Patient was convinced that we had moved him out of his room when he was sleeping and proceeded to call the hospital operator and hospital security to come rescue him #!@*
Had to start new IVs on the same patient 2 shifts in a row because people wouldn't take care of the IV that the patient had %*#$
Patient's mother hovering over me when I washed my hands because the hand sanitizer "Just isn't good enough." *&#@
Not being able to get enough staff %*@#
Patients constantly pooping or being obsessed with needing to poop *#$@
People not helping out $!@*
Patients crashing for no apparent reason #@*$
Patients leaving the hospital and not being able to find them for hours and then finding out that they went home because they didn't feel like staying another night *@$#
Patients dying for no reason #$%*
Patients trying to punch, kick, and bite you and other staff members $#@!

I love my job, most days...

  1. Um.. I totally didn't kill and/or lose a patient.. just putting that out there.
    But yes Sharona, your mouth has become increasingly dirtier. You need an Orbit gum! ;)
