THE WAR IS OVER!

I'm declaring my war on nurses over! I know, its crazy!

The nurses I work with are some of the nicest, most respectful nurses I've ever worked with. They don't hate me, they don't try and (purposely) sabotage me, and they aren't complete bitches. Its pretty cool.

The other day my attending told me "get this guy out of the ED." I assumed that meant in a timely manner, not discharge him w/o any work up. So I ordered some stuff. When he realized I ordered some stuff he came to try and put his foot up my ass. I just kinda stood there and did the fight club thing where I go to the ice cave and slide around with the penguins. Just then, this nurse steps up and says basically says that she ordered it. The attending laughs and walks off.

That is just one of several cool thing nurses have done for me.

To be fair, some of them have accidentally fucked me. Like the one that kept pulling my nasal tampons out of this guys nose making it re-bleed and eventually requiring an urgent surgical consult and a transfusion. Or the other that "spaced" and forgot to check this guys blood sugar. When I was getting ready to intubate him later it was suddenly brought to my attention is sugar was 18.

Shit happens, and I'll gladly let it slide. Seriously, props to my nursing staff.
