2) Meals can be consumed at two speeds, 20 bites per second or over a 7 hour period...neither speed enhances the taste of your meal, quite the opposite in fact.
3) More often than not you have had to make the very difficult decision between eating something and voiding your bladder
4) As a result of #3 you now know your bladder has the capacity to hold for up to 12 hours.
5) There is more caffeine in your blood stream than blood.
6) You have played the game "Identify that smell" on more than one occasion. Let me stop you there...It's poop...It's always poop!
7) You know the Bristol chart (Poop identification chart for those of you still blissfully ignorant) like the back of your hand and you have seen every type in the book.
8) Rubber gloves and alcohol hand gel are now and always will be your best friends.
9) Due to #8 gone are the days where had smooth and healthy skin on your hands. You now spend a fortune on moisturizer.
10) Managers, seldom present, only appear to add another 20 jobs to your current list of over 100 things ( shall I stick a broom up my rear end and sweep the floor whilst i'm at it?) managers are also trained to disappear in a puff of smoke when they are actually needed.
11) Despite all of the above, and the fact that you get paid minimum wage, you still pick yourself up in the morning dust yourself off and go in to face another day. Some days you even manage to muster a smile.
Today was almost one of those days.
So to all those who work in hell-th care give yourselves a pat on the back!
This made my laugh! Back when I was in college, I worked as a Certified Nurse Assistant at a hospital in the post-op unit. I remember every one of these signs all too well!
