| Posted over 4 years ago Too funny. So true. As far as "working with the family...avoiding the family..." That's why I love, luv, LUUUVVVVV the night shift; NO FAMILY!!! I'm afraid I am guilty of almost all of the above at one time of my career or another. Don't worry graduates, you'll GRADUATE to experienced sooner than you can imagine. Just hope and pray it's not before orientation is over! (Exp'd nurses, true or not!?!) |

| Posted over 4 years ago One time during a code since everyone was working and no one was charting one of the nurses wrote abbreviations for meds given and times on the patient's bedsheet with a sharpie. Of course it was all recopied on to an actual code sheet later, but funny things happen in the heat of the moment. For legal purposes this story may or may not be true. |

| Posted over 4 years ago Maybe we should get LawyerRN's opinion, but that seems perfectly acceptable to me. If there is no bedsheet why not just write directly on the patient? Doesn't Sharpie come off with nail polish remover pads? Today's mighty oak is just yesterday's nut that stood it's ground.

| Posted over 4 years ago Writing on the bedsheets (or patient) - sure, in a code that's acceptable, as it's an emergency by definition... as long as it's transferred to the chart ASAP! |

| Posted over 4 years ago I worked with a graduate nurse on a telemetry floor. Patient died, she took care of getting her ready to be taken to the morgue. An hour later, where's the telemetry box? Right, still on the patient. Had to take the graduate nurse, (scared out of her wits) by the hand into the morgue to retrieve the box! |

| Posted over 4 years ago I guess I am old at heart because the experienced nurse sounds better to me. Loved the name tag one and shoes one. I have not bought a new pair of work shoes in 3 years but I will have to go the new grad route an buy two and keep them for 6 years lol. |

| Posted over 4 years ago This is to funny... OK I know this is not right but when you have to hear your name yelled out every 2 minutes for 12 hours straight... you understand!!!
A graduate nurse corrects a crazy patient when they call them by the wrong name. An experienced nurse just agrees with the patient because they know the patient will be yelling out the name the entire shift.

| Posted over 4 years ago A graduate nurse takes a pain rating of 10/10 for face value as the young adult male sits and eats his donuts. The experienced nurse puts pain in relative terms for the pt saying "So you're saying if I kicked you square in the nuts right now, it wouldn't hurt any worse the what you're feeling?" Automatic deduction of at least 4 on the pain scale. |

| Posted over 4 years ago A Graduate Nurse looks forward to doing trach care on her patient for the experience, When the experienced nurse has the trach patient she asks the Graduate Nurse to perform her trach care to get yet more experience because more practice never hurt anyone. Redneck I is...but bigot I taint! |

| Posted over 4 years ago when, not if you write on your pants, with a pen ,hairspray works well on taking it out. even on color pants use a pump spray for old, old ink stains. WD 40 works on markers. don't ask.. Night swift rocks..oh patients backs are good to write on too with the gown on please.. |

| Posted over 4 years ago A Graduate nurse would reply to the physician, "Yes, Doctore. An experienced Nurse would reply. " UH, Have you even seen the patient?" |
