Is it sick that I accidentally stumbled upon my Halloween costume while unpacking the bag I carry back and forth to the hospital? I was digging in there and found a pair of scrubs, a pair of gloves, a surgical mask, and booty shoe covers in there.I borrowed a patient gown for Jack and we're going as a surgeon and her patient. Yes, yes, he will be wearing pants (I think!). I know it's lame. It's either that or I'm wearing a suit and going as a hospital administrator.
A few of our friends are hosting a blow-out Halloween party. I haven't made much time for socialization lately and Jack made me promise I'd go. Okay, fine. Twist my arm.
I should also mention that our CNO, Nurse Jackie, had a box of syringes tucked under her arm as she left the hospital this evening. I inquired about the box, thinking she had a diabetic at home. "Nope," she said. "They're for my niece's jello shots." Nice! Really? And how old is your niece? Apparently, Nurse Jackie's niece mixes up the jello shots and sucks up the liquid into syringes before it hardens. They're quite the conversation piece.
Doesn't that sound like a neat party favor? I'll have to try that one!
have fun at your party!
ReplyDeletethinking as a cpa, is that hospital inventory? i know it's a tiny thing, but it seems as if you're always looking for ways to cut costs.
love the idea, though! what a creative way to serve jello "shots." :)
Yes, it IS inventory. Everything I borrowed will be returned to laundry and the storeroom. As for the CNO with her box of syringes, she purchased those at cost. :)

i definitely wasn't trying to be a party pooper - that was just the first thing that i thought of, and since i thought that other people might stumble across your awesome blog, i figured it might be a good idea to clarify, hehe ;)
ReplyDeletei should know by know that the exec. - you, of course - would be all over that :D
You guys really don't know how to take off your professional "hats", do you? I didn't think anything other than what a clever idea it was with the syringes! I guess that's why I am not going to do anything that might result in my name making the paper - except maybe in the classifieds!
