Here was my night. Currently i'm a tech in an ER and my nights are usually pretty chill (if that makes sense for an emergency room). But, for some reason I believe the charge nurse had it out for me....one encounter in particular stood out to me. it went like this:
REALITY
*patient hits nurse button*
*bell goes off by phone at nurses station to signal a patient needs something*
Charge nurse (with her back turned and eyes glued to her computer) - johnson! call light! (in a slightly raised voice)
Me - *picks up phone* "can I help you?" (wondering how she even knew I was there in the first place)
Patient- "can you ask the nurse if I can have more pain medication?"
Me (while staring so hard at the charge nurse back, you would think I had a brain bleed) - "ill let her know" *hangs up, walks away* like a B****
........the phone was in arms reach of the charge nurse the whole time....
IF I COULD KEEP IT REAL
*phone goes off*
Charge Nurse - johnson! call light!
Me "can I help you"...*nods a little then taps charge nurse on back*
Charge Nurse - yes?
Me - It was satan, he's asking for you downstairs *drops phone and unplugs the computer the charge was working on*
......one can dream.
Anyone else get into or been in situations like this at work or school? please share I could use a laugh before I dropkick my boss.
