A Cold Purse

I had some trouble finding my purse at work. It was where I had put it, in the refridgerator.

I also gave myself an IV bag shower. I change the tubing on bags all the time without thinking about it. This time I should have given it some more thought. I forgot to turn the bag upside down before removing the tubing, so the fluid came pouring out the hole when the tubing was removed. Of course the patient and her entire family were watching me do this.

At least I took care of all of my patients. One nurse didn't get her assignment right and her patient went without a nurse for half of the shift.

It turns out that I didn't have a hangover or food poisoning, I'm just sick. Most of the people at work are now sick and are doing a nice job of sharing their germs. Management has cracked down so hard on calling in sick that people would rather come to work sick then stay home and later be called into the office.

This illness seems to affect people's IQ, so I'm wondering what other stupid things I and my coworkers will do tonight. Poor patients.
