Working
- You will piss SOMEONE off at least once a day.
- "Accuchecks ACHS" will be your least favorite words in report.
- You can sit quietly, all caught up, from 1730-1850 and then the shit will hit the fan (sometimes literally)
- 85-year-old guys like to flirt with nurses.
- The value of an amazing, calm, wonderful preceptor.
- To trust my instincts. A lot of the time they are right.
- To keep checklists
- Not to make the same mistakes twice.
- You can squirt heparin REALLY far by accident. All over the unit far.
- White scrub tops are not very practical
- Clorox bleach wipes get Betadine out of white scrub tops really well, but they ruin the t shirt you are wearing underneath.
- Sticky notes are STILL your friend and forever will be.
- How to lasso a COW.
- That lancets have more than one setting and there is a 'deep puncture' setting. Sorry patients.
- How to get to the break-room, finally.
- how to find my car after work.
- How to put on EKG leads properly so the monitor room does not call and say, "Your patient's EKG is upside down"
- Things you will never ever do in real life: miter the corner of as sheet. Things you will definitely do in real life: hide from JHACO
- Following the charge nurse will be so boring you will beg someone to let you do an enema.
