2.1
Brenda is so fucking cool. She just got the nurse of the year award. The Mother and Baby Unit will be sending her and her family on an Alaskan cruise, providing her with a brand new car, and giving her a check for $30,000.
We are all very proud of Brenda. Congratulations. And nice job on that bilirubin.

hmmm...let's see, a 2.1 bilirubin...i'm guessing that that baby was not jaundice at ALL! that is the nurse of the year going above and beyond to ensure that babies do not go home jaundice! :) way to go brenda!
p.s. i think that if unm happened to award the nurse of the year all of the above gifts...more of us would stive to be nurse of the year. perhaps we should send a letter to our fellow ceo!
wow. you mean they don't?
well...i guess it is possible but from the happy faces of the nurses i see everday...i'm thinking not...
wow. we're gonna be co-workers, huh. that'll be so fun.
nurses are awesome and i think it's so cool that you are one, jill...your energy and your way with people make you perfect for the job...but i have to admit...when i first heard that you were going to nursing school, i had difficulty picturing you taking any crap from doctors. how do you handle dickhead m.d.s? and dickhead patients, for that matter?
there are no dickhead patients. well, there are, but they still get the same kind of care that you would get. i'm not sure how that works, but it just does.
as for doctors...it's rare we deal with the attendings. most of the docs on call at night are pretty darn cool. and i've yet to meet a resident or intern at the VA who isn't smart and smokin'.
but ask me again in a few months when i'm a full-fledged RN and can't play the "i'm just an intern, i'm not allowed to do that" card.
no dickhead patients? how about total fucking asshole patients?
i didn't mean to question whether the less pleasant ones got the same standard of care as everyone else...just how you deal with it when someone you're trying to help makes your job harder than it needs to be. ever spit in their jell-o?
ahhhh. no, i don't spit in their jello. but they sure don't always get jello, cuz that's a special treat not always stocked in the fridge. pudding and cookies, too.
you have to remember that half of my patients are under the age of 48 hours, and how can i hate them?
