Quick story,
I was floated to the postpartum unit last night at work. It was a nice night with some fun people. We watched 2 movies and our patients were abnormally quite with the call lights. Hallelujah!! Anyway, we were supposed to be getting a scheduled c/s coming in early and I was going to get her ready and send her for surgery at 6:00. This was a quick funny conversation between me and my charge nurse before she arrived.
Charge Nurse: "Steph, are you okay with getting the c/s ready?"
Me: "Yeah"
CN: "Well isn't it protocol to have a labor nurse come down and do the assessment?"
Me: "Well, any labor nurse can do the fetal assessment. We don't need to call labor to send someone because I can do it."
CN: "Well...are you good enough?"
Me: (...pause for a second while I think this through, I don't know what to say at the moment, I come up with...)
"Yup, I can get her ready. You don't have to worry about a thing"
I just walked away baffled. I usually can figure out what people meant to say when they say something stupid, but I am out of my league on this one. What was my charge nurse trying to say? Hmmm...???

That is hilarious! I can only imagine who it was. I think it's funny when people say stupid things like that, you walk away wondering if they even realize how dumb it sounded. :) your a great labor nurse, I definitely think you are "good enough" ;)
Ha ha ha! That's awesome! Who on earth would say something like that?! Not me-definitely! Miss you!
Oh dear...I have a few guesses at who your charge nurse was! She doesnt know what she is talking about your a GREAT nurse! I love working with you!
Two words, Steph:
Fentanyl patches
You're good enough, you're smart enough, and doggone it, people like you!
HAHAHAHA!
Aw, congrats Steph, this makes the list.
And besides, you just have to consider the source!!
Haha...Oh dear. You are a wonderful nurse!
My follow up question for her is...'Are you good enough?' and I'm sure we all know what the answer would be...
No worries Steph, YOU ARE FANTASTIC!!!
I love awesome people. Although I do have to admit that I have said some pretty awesome stuff myself.
