Nursefriendly.com: why go into nursing

Minnesota
Pediatric Home Service (PHS), based in Roseville, Minn., is a home care agency that provides specialized services to children with complex medical conditions. As you can imagine, planning events for nurses who are out on home visits all day long is difficult, but the folks at PHS have found some simple ways to honor their nurses and make them feel appreciated. Throughout the week, nurses who come into the company’s head office will engage in a scavenger hunt, with the clues being rhymes that include tidbits of educational information and the prize being a little token—last year it was a pacifier. At the end of the week, nurses and staff are invited to connect and interact with each other as they enjoy a treat at an ice cream social.

Five Minutes

A hospital posted a notice in the nurse's lounge saying: "Remember, the first five minutes of a human being's life are the most dangerous." Underneath, a nurse had written: "The last five are pretty risky, too."

******************************************************

Peek-A-Boo

The famous female Olympic skier, Picabo Street (pronounced Peek-A-Boo), is not just an outstanding athlete, she is also a nurse. She currently works at the Intensive Care Unit of a large metropolitan hospital.

She is not permitted to answer the telephone, however, as it caused simply too much confusion when she would answer the phone and say, "Picabo, ICU."

(Please note, this is in fact an urban legend as verified by "snopes.com" we'll keep it here for clarification anyhow.)

******************************************************

Interns think of God, residents pray to God, doctors talk to God, nurses ARE God.

The nurse who can smile when things go wrong is probably going off duty.
