Gangnam Style with the OB/Gyne crew

A little parody humor featuring some OB/Gyne staff having some fun, we all need to blow off some stress and have some fun. Makes us better healthcare workers when we can de-stress and then get back to the real business of taking care of patients.

Friday funny: Ectopoopy

I think every ER nurse has had an Ectopoopy moment, that moment when your gut just tells you that the patient that just walked into triage is the patient you need to address first. He might be looking sorta grey, sweating, clutching his chest, or maybe not at all. The female patient might just have very vague complaints like, sudden dizziness, weakness, shortness of breath or abdominal pain. We girls are stubborn and wait out our symptoms until its to late. I have always told my family that they will most likely step over me on the floor having my big MI because I was to stubborn to listen to my own body's symptoms. I can just hear them now, "Mommy" I'm hungry, get up off the floor.
An ER nurse's gut instincts are a gift from above, listen to your gut when it tells you to act on something. Anytime I have ignored my gut, my patient has suffered for it. No one should ever put you down for following your gut instincts as a patient advocate, we are nurses because we care for people, that's our job.
Have a great weekend and remember to smile at your fellow co-workers today!

Some Clean Nursing Humor..sorta

Friday is fun and so is being a nurse especially an ER nurse, we seem to be a special breed. ER nurses have a "special kind" of humor that you don't share with the ladies in your church group.We mean no harm, it is a coping mechanism for me to get thru the trauma of my day or night shift. When you see nothing but sickness and despair, you need a good laugh to brighten your cloudy day. So laugh on people!!
