The Adventures Of Nurse Elizabeth: Memory Lane

Memory Lane


No, I never closed anyone up in a bed! When I became a nurse I put on a hat for every profession, and that would entail whatever the situation called for at the time. Sometimes I was a plumber when there was a sewage crisis out into the hallway, I strategically and efficiently evacuated my patient out of the sewage imploded room. I can become downright in charge and the boss when it comes to patients on oxygen and a patient smoking in their room! I quickly took action and confiscated the evidence and informed the smoking patient they could collect their belongings at the time of check out at the nurses station. I realized soon after starting working 12 hour night shifts, that I did not have much time for anything else but being a nurse and essential sleep. I remember one shift we decided to have a potluck meal and so I brought a bag of apples, and everyone laughed and wondered where the apple pie was that I had intended to bring. More stories to come!
