Moment 1:
I had a patient wearing a BMW shirt. I asked him if he drove a beemer. He did. We talked about our love of BMWs. I had to give up my patient in the afternoon so I only took care of him for about 5 hours. Later on in the day his wife came up to me and asked if I wanted to take a ride in his car (M roadster). I was super swamped so I asked if we could do it the next day. The next day she kept finding me at the nurses station asking if we were on for a ride. At the end of the day we went out to the car and she asked, "Do you want to drive?" WHAT!!!! Who lets a girl you just met drive your $20,000 car?
I didn't end up driving because it is a stick shift and this little girl doesn't know how to drive a stick shift. We did take a nice trip down Bangerter with the top down going a little bit faster than we probably should've.
It was so glorious. It made me miss by Bad Boy Blue
Not only did she offer me to drive the car, but she also said, "I wish I had some sons to set you up with."
Moment 2
As a nurse you end up assisting your patients to the bathroom, a lot. Guess how many of them wash their hands after they finish in the bathroom? Of the hundreds of people I have assisted back and forth to the bathroom I have only seen 2 wash their hands in the sink after they flush the toilet. I will give credit to one patient who used wet wipes on her hands after voiding. So maybe three people have washed their hands. ONLY 3! Do they think they are immune to any germs by going in a bathroom toilet? Whatever they are thinking, it is gross and makes me want to wash my hands before, after, and during touching anything in your room.
