10. The previous shift tells you, "Things have been quiet." 9. You walk onto the floor and someone from the previous shift says, "Is it that time already?" 8. You run into the pharmacist at the elevator, he hands you a case of Go-Lytely and says, "Here, this is for your floor." 7. Your phone rings 4 hours before your shift and they beg you to come in early. 6. After giving report, the nurse yells from the elevator, "Oh, by the way, they're 'pleasantly confused'."
5. While driving to work, every radio station is playing "Knockin' on Heaven's Door". 4. As soon as you walk in, someone hands you scrubs and says, "Here, you'd better put these on." 3. You come in and find one of the previous shift nurses openly weeping at the nurse's station. 2. The nurse about to give you report looks up from her notes and asks, "How many R's in diarrhea?" 1.
