Are you sure you've never been in a NY/NJ hospital, Richard??? I think you've passed through my hands before, lol! You had me peeing in my pants

Funny how some guys come out of the OR into the RR feeling all frisky and such! My question....WHY??? On more than one occasion, a proud and obviously "in the mood" guy would throw back the covers to show off his enamored state. Our reply??? "Oh dear! Well honey, we can do something about that for you!" Ever hear of the butterfly flick? The ultimate WMD "weapon of male deflation" for nurses!

Oh Sirrahbed, mass meds was perhaps the MAIN reason for me putting in a transfer to a unit after only one year of floor nursing! That and the fact that the drs. never gave floors nurses the respect they deserved. It was SO easy to make an error with mass meds! We didn't have colored ink, we had different colored little med cards with the drug, dose, etc. I'd come in an hour before start time, maybe 6am, just to organize my cards and start pulling meds! Pericolace...how many of those did I dole out in the course of a day! At least it was Pericolace and not Dig. God only knows what errors I may have made and never knew And people wonder why nurses have to take million plus malpractice ins. policies! I ruptured a disc pulling up a 250 plus spinal patient (spent the remainder of the day changing CBI bottles; not too smart) and that did me in for a while. Went back to school for botany and horticulture and since then, have been dabbling is a bit of everything, mostly dog rescue I do miss it though. Nothing like the gratification of knowing you helped to make someone more comfortable, allay their fears, take away their pain. BTW, I spent my psych rotation at Greystone in NYC. The original "snake pit!" Mt. Sinai is an awesome institution!
