To all Nurses out there!
Tuesday, August 21, 2007
Wow... am so tired today! I guess I didn't have enough rest since there have been guests at our place, I haven't even started cleaning up haha... Been really chilling out at home today. Went to the pool, had my usual naps, practise on the piano and doing my Yoga/Pilates.
Did I mentioned that I am going for Piano lessons now? Once a week, every wed... Hopefully I am able to pick up where I have left off last time. Not sure if I wanna go for exams and all that, I dun wanna give myself any pressure, just some fun on the piano :)
Ok anyway, finally had time to check out my emails and because of my last nurse/career post, I thought it was pretty funny when I recieve this forwarded email from Karen Chan, my ex colleague...
This email is titled: Nurses- I think it is pretty hilarious... I am sure all my ex nursing colleagues will be able to identify with just as I have. Haha... For my lovely nursing friends, I salute you for all your hard work and your love for the profession. I hope that one day, I may be able to join you all again... Though, its such a tiring profession, it had never failed to bring me satisfaction, the love of being able to look after someone and care, the power of having the knowledge to help with the health and life of the sick and the life experiences that you will never forget...
I found this old photo from one of my ex colleagues' friendster... OMG... I miss my uniform hehe
Did you hear about the nurse who died and went straight to hell? It took her two weeks to realize she wasn't at work!
You know you're a nurse if...
You would like to meet the inventor of the call light some night in a dark alley.
Your sense of humor gets more warped each year.
Almost everything can seem humorous...eventually.
You can smell different diarrhea and are able to identify its differences.
You wash your hands BEFORE you use the bathroom.
You check the caller ID on your day off to see if anyone from the hospital is trying to call and ask you to work.
Discussing bodily fluids over a gourmet meal seems perfectly normal to you.
You think that caffeine should be available in IV form.
You get an almost irresistible urge to stand and wolf your food even in the nicest restaurants.
You believe that unspeakable evils will befall you if you say, "It's unusually quiet around here today"
You have ever had a patient look you straight in the eye and say "I have no idea how that got stuck in there".
You notice that you are using more 4-letter words than you even knew before you started nursing.
Every time someone asks you for a pen you can find at least 4 of them on you (some not even the ones you began the day with).
You live by the motto "to be right is only half the battle, to convince the doctor is more difficult."
You've told a confused patient that your name was that of your coworker and to holler if they need help.
Your bladder can expand to the size of a Winnebago's water tank.
You find yourself checking out other customer's veins in grocery waiting lines.
You avoid unhealthy looking shoppers in the mall for fear that they will drop near you and you'll have to do CPR on your day off.
Your finger has gone places you never thought possible.
