how i scored free scrubs

this is a true tale experienced by JV, small town nurse.

it was a nightshift. not a night like any other night for the night started off with a high level of annoyance and frustration. Wait, did i just say it was NOT a typical night?... The staff member before me had done an excellent job of muddying up her work and i spent several hours playing catch up and straightening things out so come morning i wouldn't look like a dorkus.

Then, a few hours into the night, things started to look up. I had a rootbeer. And corn chips (corn is no place for a mighty warrior!). And the ER nurse was doing all of the work on my new admission for me. This is a very good way to be appreciated by your coworkers. At least, it initially seemed as if she had done me a favour. But my friends, let me tell you something. A slow-moving 92 year-old patient who has had not one but TWO enemas (top and bottom)just before being transferred to your care is not the recipe for a good time.

The LPN and i went it to do a little clean-up. Unfortunately we were ill-prepared for what awaited us...liquid poo splattering EVERYWHERE.

The ER nurse was forced to unlock the OR so i could borrow some surgical scrubs. I think the top was an XXL. But the pants are really comfy.... And at least the admitting doctor, when he returned in the wee hours of the morning to attend to something else, apologized for the mess he had ordered.
