Front and Back Nurses

Well, it looks like my employer is back to its old ways. I had a class today before work and so expected that because of the thrive campaign with its broccoli logo, that we would get fruit and water for refreshments. What we got was cookies and soda.

After filling up on cookies and diet soda, I was greeted by a box of donuts when I arrived in my unit. Well, who am I to turn down a donut? Then, one of my coworkers brought a huge platter of teriyaki pork and beef with rice, noodles egg rolls and stir fried vegetables. It would have been rude not to eat her food, so I chowed down again. And, only so she wouldn't think that I was ungrateful, I had seconds. Oh, the sacrifices I make. :)

I just heard that our new hospital will not be divided into east and west like this hospital. Instead, it will be front and back. I don't know why, but I've been giggling all evening about there being front and back nurses. Hopefully, by the time the hospital is open, I will be used to that phrase so that I will be able to tell people that I'm a front or a back nurse without laughing. I do wonder which I'll end up being.

On a final note, Tonight a nurse walked over to another nurse and we all heard her say, "I'm looking at your breast." Dead silence followed. After several long seconds, I said, "Did you say that you're looking at her breast?" Shocked, she answered, "Dress, I'm looking at her dress, not breast." That was good for several minutes of hysterical laughing. With all of the different accents here, we have a lot of misunderstandings.
