Apologies for my abscence........

Sorry, especially to Susanna who seems to have nothing better to do than read about my nutty escapades. Ok, yesterday at work I was giving out dinners, patient nutrition being high in my list of priorities, and everytime I went past one of my long stay patient's rooms I did something amusing like practising my silver service pose or my waitress's walk. When we give out meals we have to wear a pink apron, that's the best bit. When I had finished I tied the apron around my head and practised the subtle art of tai chi outside her door much to her amusement!

That's what happens when I'm left in charge of the ward.........it goes to my head!

One of my newer colleagues was counting down the end of the shift from the beginning! She hates working sundays because she misses her sunday roast! I hate working sundays because I miss church! I think the only people who enjoy working sundays are those who have no spiritual or culinary inclinations, oh and they like the extra duty pay as well!

Mr Nuttyhistorian (by default of being married to Mrs Nuttynurse) had his pre-assessment for surgery on December 13th to remove his second brain from his neck. Apparently he only needs one so they can remove the spare one! Maybe I could request a transplant!

Time to chill as more behated, as opposed to beloved, night shifts loom on the brink of my monday's horizon.

Oh Mrs Nutty, your patients must love you. If I ever have to stay in hospital for long I hope I get some nurses with senses of humour. I have worked with some very humourless ones over the past few years (not my husband of course!). Do you get to know your patients before you do mad things???? Or do they just think they got admitted to the psychiatric ward by mistake???!
If there are brains to spare, send me some in the post.....and keep on entertaining!

Sometimes I do mad things to patients I don't know that well but only if I sense that they are fairly mellow beings! The real crazeeeeeeeeee stuff is reserved for those who know me well enough to take it in their stride!

One jamaican pt was well impressed wit me accent. Like many other before him he thinks I must be married to a jamaican man to spit patua the way I do! Yeah, big up de accents! Although my new irish colleague says my irish accent is pants!

The spare brains consist of lymph node so I think you'll pass!

Dear nuttynurse

Are you confusing 'abscence' with 'abscess' instead of absence (or even worse 'absense')?
Carry on nuttynurse....
