Eye Opener
Our Emergency Department uses a lot of traveling nurses (nurses that take on temporary assignments around the country).
Last week a new one did not leave a good first impression. She showed up an hour late....8am...and DRUNK.
The nurse manager came down and tried to handle it very respectfully. He even offered to call her a cab. She threw a huge fit. Long story short....she ended up getting arrested for public intoxication.

O.
dear.
glad she didn't make it to any patients!
Hilariously-- the same story was recently posted on another blog. Either this chick gets around or you have quite the undercover brother on your unit. ;-)
What's the other blog sites URL ?

Umm, do I know you from somewhere?
And she's probably been watching too much Nurse Jackie, too.
Surprised you weren't required to keep her until she sobered up ;)
