If you throw up at work in the middle of getting report, they will send you home, and then you will be stuck wide awake and feeling like crap all night long, trying to be quiet so you're honeybunny can sleep.
When you hear in report that a patient is "a little sleepy", that could very well mean "entirely unresponsive to verbal or painful stimuli" for your shift.
"On hospice, DNR, but ok to intubate" is a very confusing combination of terms to use when discussing the code status of a patient. Don't wait to clarify this with the patient, family and physician. It sucks having to call a family member in the middle of the night when there's a change in the patient's condition and no one before you has determined EXACTLY what they want done for that patient.
Potatoes are slippery, and freshly sharpened knives will go right through your thumb if you're not careful.
Baby praying mantises are super cute!
